Chapter 654 The Future Master

.John shivered involuntarily, a wave of goosebumps prickling his skin. He knew that if he didn't handle this night well, there wouldn't be a tomorrow for him."It's true, I don't know your contact info...You shouldn't refuse Mr. Henry so quickly. As long as he pursues you, you'll have a steady stream of rewards, not just status but also money, and even high-level equipment.

A crisp female voice entered Lian Yi's ears.

The ripples turned back, revealing a charming redhead girl. She was wearing a headband of the same color as her hair. With a round face and big eyes, she was only about 1.6 meters tall. She wore a fluffy lolita dress, looking petite and adorable.

"Is that so I don't know! No one told me, if I had known, I wouldn't have refused Mr. Henry."

Although Lian Ri said it was a pity, there was no regret in her tone at all.

They certainly wouldn't remind you, would they You are a formidable competitor.

"Is that so! I also feel that I have this ability."

Ripple stroked her black hair, saying with a smile.

This time, the red-haired girl didn't respond and her lips twitched.

"What about you Aren't you going to curry favor with Mr. Henry You may be a bit worse off than me, but much better than those others."

Ripples glanced at the red-haired girl and raised an eyebrow. "

I am Mr. Henry's distant relative, just visiting. My name is Lacey, what about you

Just call me Ripple.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Ripple!"

"Ms. Lacey, when does the party end I'm getting tired."

Ripple yawned and said she found these kinds of gatherings the most boring.

"I've had the valet take you to your guest room for a rest. The festivities will last for half a month, with guests arriving from all over. They arrive at different times, so the castle has prepared many guest rooms."

Rachel smiled and said.

"Okay, thank you!"

Racy beckoned, and the male servant who had previously brought Ripples into the banquet hall walked in. After hearing Racy's instructions, he respectfully escorted Ripples out of the banquet hall.

Two people walked down the long corridor one after the other. After reaching the second floor, the male servant opened a guest room near the staircase:

"Miss Ripple, this is your room. Please rest here tonight."

"Okay, thank you."

With a smile, Ripples tossed a gold coin directly to the other person and asked:

I heard that generally, historical castles have some taboos. Does Dracula's Castle have any

The male servant, having received the gold coin, was overjoyed. He carefully tucked it into his sleeve and, upon hearing Ripple's inquiry, replied in a hushed tone:

Miss Ripple, when all the lights in the castle are out, no matter what sound you hear, please do not leave your room, and do not go to the third floor of the castle. No one is allowed on the third floor except for the Dracula family.

"I understand, thank you for reminding me. I will stay in my room obediently."

"Alright, I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave now."

The male servant bowed respectfully, then stepped out of the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Ripple directly locked the door and then walked around the guest room, looking at the portrait hanging over the bed. She curled her lips and took off her shoes, stepping onto the bed, using one hand to pull down the heavy portrait.

Then she threw the entire frame straight into an empty closet and wrapped the doorknob with a deadly silk, only then did she go to the bathroom to take a beautiful bath and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, there were screams from a woman echoing down the hallway. There seemed to be sounds of doors opening, followed by a jumble of footsteps. None of this disturbed Ripples' rest, except that in the later half of the night, the wardrobe that had been bound by the Death Silk shuddered twice, as if something was trying to burst out.

Then ripples opened its eyes, and said impatiently:

"What a nuisance!"

She turned her wrist, and the death silk, as if receiving an order, split off a strand that plunged directly into the cabinet. A scream of "Roar" echoed, followed by silence from within the cabinet.

The ripples turned over and continued to sleep.

As ripples slept until she woke naturally, she got up and washed her face. Then she heard a knock at the door:

"Who is it"

"It's me, Miss Ripple. I'm here to bring you new clothes."

He was the male servant last night.

Ripples opened the door and saw a male servant followed by two female servants behind him. They all bowed their heads, daring not to look at Ripples. Each of them held a tray in their hands, with exquisite clothes on it, apparently sent for Ripples to wear.

Come in!

The ripples waved their hand at random, and the male servant led the two into the room.

"Have the two of them attend to Miss's changing, and then I shall take you to the dining room for a meal."

The male servant finished speaking and then exited the room. Just before closing the door, however, he cast a deliberate glance in the direction of the bed.

With the help of two maids, she managed to get dressed in layers inside and out with the crimson robe. Then, holding her skirt, she went to the restaurant on the first floor.

Henry looked radiant in a new sapphire-blue suit, seated at the head of a long, rectangular table. The table was laden with an array of delicacies and ten people were already seated, all beauties who had attended the soirée last night. Each woman's expression changed upon seeing Ripples.

Henry on the main seat was instantly delighted, and asked with a smile:

Miss Ripple, how was your rest last night

Henry stood up, asking politely as he did so, and with great gallantry pulled out a chair for Ripple, gesturing for her to sit down.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry, for your concern. I went to bed early last night, but around midnight, I think I vaguely heard a scream. I'm not sure if I imagined it."

Ripples, after finishing her statement, rushed at Lacey who was sitting across from her and asked:

"Miss Lacey, did you hear that"

"Oh! Someone went out to find food in the middle of the night, then stepped on empty space and fell from the second floor. This is what woke up the guests."

"Leecy said helplessly."

"That's right! When I went upstairs, I did find the stairs quite long. I wonder how badly hurt the person is"

She broke her neck.

"Lacy could only say helplessly."

"Dead"

Ripples feigned surprise, covering her mouth and exclaimed.

"There's nothing surprising about this. Who let her go down the stairs alone If she had called a male servant and lit a lamp, she wouldn't have had an accident."

A stunning woman said with disdain.

"I am deeply saddened by Irene's passing. I have instructed the steward to transport her remains and made compensation to her family. May she rest in peace."

Henry sadly said.

Mr. Henry, is Miss Irene the kind of wife you would like

The ripples didn't respond to the previous woman's words, instead asking Henry.

"I have a good feeling about Miss Irene. We even went moon-gazing together last night. She promised to stay at the castle for a few more days, and I personally escorted her back to her room. I never expected something so heartbreaking to happen just one night later."

Henry said helplessly.

If Mr. Henry truly loves Miss Eileen, why not give her some more equipment You aren't showing enough love, otherwise you would have put more thought into protecting your beloved knowing she could be in danger.

Ripple stated directly.

"This ripples, Miss, how could I know she would leave the room in the middle of the night"

Henry said somewhat sadly.

"Mr. Henry, they all want to be your wife. Before you've decided on the final one, one less means one less competitor. What do you think they'll do"his long before making a move!"He wants my life, and I don't fight back Shall I just put my neck out in front of him!Ripple smiled back."Jian Ge supports you!""Thank you, Jian Ge. I won't be involved...
