Chapter 665: Chapter 38 Have Another Sniff

Angela and her two brothers were on good terms, so when she saw them enter, she got up immediately to greet them.

Unexpectedly, they walked past her as if they hadn’t seen her, their expressions indifferent, going to talk with their respective allies.

So, Miss Weasel could only sit back down with an embarrassed air.

The Lady recalled a similar scene, feeling a bit of déjà vu. The atmosphere was nearly this tense two years ago when the Arias family chose a new Family Head.

She and her brother Blanco had been at each other’s throats, finding all manner of fault in each other’s looks.

Yet, they had all been family before, with no deep hatred between them. It only went to show that the temptation of power was indeed too great, and no one could escape it.

No, that’s not right—maybe some could resist such temptation.

Ireya turned her head and looked at Li Yu, who was tapping a glowing little box with his fingers.

Miss Rabbit remembered that the Prophet of the Double Rest Sect always carried that little box with him. He had previously used it to record her uncle’s voice, helping her turn the tide against the odds and win the final election.

But clearly, the little box had more uses than that. Later on, the Lady had also seen Li Yu use it to copy portraits and landscapes, and even record images.

Sometimes, he even used it for illumination at night. In short, it was utterly magical.

If one day Li Yu summoned a brown bear wearing armor and riding a motorcycle out of it, the girl would probably not even find it strange.

Seeing that Li Yu kept tapping away, Ireya leaned in curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Writing this week’s work plan," Li Yu said without looking up.

Although he didn’t need to report to a supervisor now and thus wasn’t required to write weekly reports,

Li Yu still preferred to list out everything he needed to do in advance, order them by priority, and handle them one by one when the time came.

Especially now that there were more and more people in the sect, the things he had to consider were increasing, and writing them down made it less likely for anything to be omitted.

Naturally, the Lady couldn’t understand the Chinese characters in the notebook, but that didn’t prevent her from stretching her neck energetically, taking the opportunity to sniff Li Yu’s hair.

Li Yu used ordinary Pantene shampoo, which had a faint lemon fragrance. Miss Rabbit found it quite intoxicating, having smelled it once, she wanted to take another whiff.

The girl, who typically wasn’t very studious, even began to entertain the idea of learning Chinese.

That’s what it’s like to like someone; one can’t help wanting to know everything about them.

The Lady kept snuggling up to Li Yu, and without realizing it, she almost pressed herself against him. Their intimate behavior also caught the attention of others around them.

The nobles in the banquet hall all showed looks of astonishment. Although they had heard rumors that Prophet Merlin of the Double Rest Sect often visited the Lady’s room late at night to discuss the teachings of the sect with her,

considering that Ireya was almost twenty years old and still unmarried, it was hard for people not to speculate.

Nevertheless, rumors were still just rumors, and there were still many young, handsome, and unambitious noble youths in the West who fantasized about winning the girl’s favor one day, thereby shooting up to the sky of success and becoming winners in life.

But after today, most of them were likely to be heartbroken.

Li Yu also noticed that Ireya was getting a little too close, her breath from her nostrils blowing on his neck, tickling him.

He then asked, "Have you seen my glove?"

"The glove with a rabbit head on it? Isn’t that the one you’re wearing on your hand?" The Lady pointed to the [Force Glove] on Li Yu’s hand.

"No, it’s the other one."

There was only one [Force Glove], and to solve the problem of keeping warm, Li Yu had ordered another pair online that was almost the same style, to complete the other one.

"Could it be that you left it behind when you went out? I’ll have someone go back and check."

Miss Rabbit called a maid over and asked her to search the house for the glove.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yu calmly and subtly drew the young girl back to a normal distance.

Moreover, afterward, everyone’s attention was drawn by the housekeeper, who, seeing that most of the guests had arrived, clapped her hands twice.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to Black Stone City. Lord Diodosi’s demise is a sorrow to us all, and a perpetual loss to the Immanuel Family. We have lost a Wise Man, a strong warrior, and, above all, the helmsman who has guided us forward.

"But amid this misfortune, there is a stroke of luck—Lord Diodosi had already designated a new successor before he passed. She will continue to lead us into the future..."

Galin had only got halfway through her speech when she was interrupted, Rafael sneered, "Are you talking about the will you forged?"

"That is Lord Diodosi’s handwriting, and his signature is at the end," the housekeeper said, "I can bring out the will for everyone to inspect."

"You think you can deceive us again with the same trick?"

At this point, Harman also said, "You were the father’s most trusted housekeeper, perhaps even his lover, constantly by his side. You had plenty of opportunities to learn and imitate his handwriting."

"Mind your words, Lord Harman, you are besmirching your own father," the housekeeper said expressionlessly.

"I know you won’t admit it, but with your age, your dubious origins that no one knows about, yet you could serve in such an important position within such a great family and quickly become the father’s most trusted housekeeper.

"I bet there’s something exceptional about your performance in bed."

"Brother, what you’re saying is really going too far...It’s indecent," Angela couldn’t help but interject.

Harman glanced at his sister and snorted, "You have the nerve to talk to me about decency, thinking nobody knows about those things you’ve been doing in secret?"

Upon hearing this, Angela’s face turned red in an instant.

At that moment, Rafael also said, "You claim that the father’s will was left three months ago, but wasn’t Ilkand his favored choice back then? Why does it say in the will that he plans to let Angela succeed Ilkand as the next Family Head?"

"I am just a housekeeper, unaware of what truly went through Lord Diodosi’s mind. Perhaps he had already realized that Ilkand was unreliable," replied Galin.

Galin was not at all flustered and spoke confidently under the scrutiny of the crowd.

Harman said, "Speaking of my traitorous brother... It seems you also had a pretty good relationship with him. When you followed Marquis Kuren to war last time, both Rafael and I intended to lead the troops, but in the end, you vehemently recommended Ilkand against everyone’s opinion.

"That was Lord Diodosi’s decision, not mine," the housekeeper corrected.

"Whatever you say. Ilkand has betrayed Marquis Kuren and is still on the run. You haven’t been cleared of suspicion either, so I don’t think you’re fit to appear on such an important occasion today," Harman drawled.
