Shadowless Ghost Hand stood awkwardly at the side.

The red-haired woman looked like she was struck by lightning. “City lord, I was one of the first handmaidens to come in and serve you! You even praised my tea-making skills…”

Tea-making skills?

Lance thought about it. When he had just become the city lord of Spark City, it seemed like he had indeed recruited a group of handmaidens to serve as his servants.

But those women were always noisy and troublesome. They were supposed to be dealt with by Shadowless Ghost Hand.

Why was there one b*tch left?

Shadowless Ghost Hand received Lance’s questioning gaze and said awkwardly, “The other maids have indeed been sent out of the city gate, but you once praised her tea-making skills to be pretty good, so I selfishly let her stay.”

Lance remained quiet. “…”

“Did I say that I wanted to keep this person here?” Lance frowned. “When can you really take what I said to heart? Did I just say that she brews tea well?”

If Shadowless Ghost Hand did not say it, Lance really would not have thought of it.

Lance had really said it himself, but he did not mean it at all.

He frowned as he looked at the red-haired woman who was still in disbelief. “Think about it carefully. Was I complimenting you? You’re also a genius who could make a cup of tea look like that.”

“If I complimented you, you would really have the cheek to flatter yourself.”

This time, Audrey actually pitied the red-haired woman.

Shadowless Ghost Hand fell to his knees with a plop. “Sir, your subordinate…”

He was utterly embarrassed. He had never thought that someone would dare to lie in front of him.

The red-haired woman paused, tears flowing freely. “Sir Lance, you cannot believe them! I’m loyal to you and have done nothing wrong. Didn’t I work hard?”

Lance suppressed his impatience and took a deep breath. “Then tell me, what have you done in Spark City all these years? What did this maid do to provoke you and make you beat her up like this?

“Miss Audrey is a distinguished guest that I personally invited. If I hadn’t appeared, would miss Audrey have been thrown out of the mansion by you?

“Leaving you in Spark City was an accident. Take the punishment.”

Lance sighed, looked at Audrey, and said, “Miss Audrey, I’m really sorry. I was clearly inviting you to have a meal in Spark City, but it turned out like this.”

The red-haired woman saw Lance’s gentle attitude towards Audrey and had a look of disbelief. “Sir, you actually…”

Shadowless Ghost Hand could not take it anymore. “Men, chase her out of the city lord’s mansion and leave her to fend for herself!”

“No, no, sir… you can’t treat me like this, you can’t!”

The red-haired woman did not even understand who this Audrey was before she was thrown out by a battle technique.

Audrey shook her head to show that she did not mind. “It’s alright, my lord. However, I have a presumptuous request.”

“Speak.”

“I want to bring this maid back.”

Lance raised his eyebrows and looked at the little maid behind Audrey.

The little maid’s face was swollen on both sides, but her eyes were clear.

Her body was so thin, and she looked delicate and pitiful as she stood behind Audrey.

She was quite good at choosing people.

Lance nodded generously. “Of course, it’s possible. It’s fate that Audrey got to know this maid.”

After they had a peaceful meal, Audrey left the main city of Spark City under the excuse that she wanted to bring the maid for treatment.

Lance had the intention of keeping Audrey here, but he was the one who had brought her here today and made her suffer in his territory. He did not say anything to stop her.

“My lord… where’s miss Audrey?” Shadowless Ghost Hand looked at his master’s melancholic figure and gritted his teeth. “What happened today was all my fault. If it wasn’t for my lack of discipline…”

Lance seemed to be deep in thought as he gently waved his hand. “It’s fine. I believe that Audrey and I will meet again very soon.”

…

In the beast carriage.

“What’s your name?”

“Miss Audrey, my name is Casey.”

“Alright, then follow me back to my house to work. The salary won’t be bad, as long as you’re loyal to me.”

Casey nodded happily as she listened to Audrey’s introduction of the current situation at home.

“Miss Audrey, where are we going next?” Casey asked curiously.

Audrey rubbed the corners of her eyes. “I’m going to private property of mine. It’s not convenient for you to follow me there, so you can go home first. After explaining the situation to my father, my maid will arrange it for you.”

Casey was taken aback. “Miss Audrey, are you not planning to bring me along?”

Was she not trustworthy enough for Audrey to trust her?

That is true…

Audrey saw through Casey’s self-doubt. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that for various reasons, I want to give my father a small surprise. I don’t want to tell anyone about this surprise for the time being.”

Casey instantly smiled like a flower.

Audrey sighed. She knew that she had probably attracted Lance’s attention.

However, she already had a new target.

Since she could not beat him, she could hide.

As the city lord of Spark City, Lance would not really extend his hand to the outside of the city. There were still some secrets in the Davis family that had not been truly dug out. Audrey was already tired of living in Spark City.

It would be better to venture outside Spark City.
