Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 102 - GDD Chapter 102

When Duke Wilson said this out of the blue, Evan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, “Okay, although I’m not sure if I can play any role, but I will go and see.”

Duke Wilson was very concerned about his behavior at this time, and a little disgusted. He hardly dared to look at Evan’s gentle face, so he could only lower his head and nod slightly.

Duke Wilson didn’t want to speak, and there was an awkward silence between the two of them for a moment. In fact, Evan didn’t think as much as Duke Wilson thought. Evan was a little puzzled by his silence.

“What’s wrong with you?” He looked down at Duke Wilson.

Duke Wilson still didn’t look up, but said in a muffled voice, “It’s okay…”

Evan heard his tone, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Colonel Mel will be fine.

Duke Wilson felt more and more ashamed of Evan’s kind comfort. He clenched his fists tightly and really didn’t know what to say.

Although Evan didn’t know about Duke Wilson’s mental activities, he could understand by looking at his appearance at this time. He didn’t like this topic very much now, so he immediately changed the topic and said with a smile, “Where is Edward? I want to go and see him.”

Hearing Evan talking about Edward, Duke Wilson raised his head, hooked the corners of his lips reluctantly, and said as gently as possible, “He is in his room, you can go and see him ”

Evan nodded, leaned down and kissed Duke Wilson’s forehead, looked at his rapidly reddening face, smiled and left.

Watching Evan leave, Duke Wilson caressed the place where Evan kissed him with a complicated expression. Perhaps in front of Evan, such a dirty self would never be able to lift his head.

Duke Wilson heaved a long sigh, with a hint of loneliness in it. He didn’t know, if Evan knew his dark side, would he still kiss his forehead gently like today?

“Let Ederson come over immediately.” Duke Wilson said coldly.

Butler Chris, who had been standing at the door since Evan left, immediately saluted meekly and said in a low voice, “Yes, Your Excellency.”

It was really late to bring Ederson over, it seemed that Colonel Mel’s matters were not as simple as he imagined. Butler Chris looked very worried.

Evan went to Edward’s room. Edward hadn’t fallen asleep yet. He was forcing a poor servant to tell him a story. And when he saw Evan coming in, the emotion in his eyes could almost be described as tears of joy.

“Evan!” Little Edward quickly abandoned the poor servant and ran towards Evan.

He was still wearing slightly thin pajamas, Evan’s heart skipped a beat and hurried forward to hug him in his arms.

“You shouldn’t do this, the weather is so cold, you will catch a cold.” Evan said softly.

Edward hugged Evan’s neck excitedly as a sly light flashed in his dark eyes. He seemed to have an innate talent for showing weakness in front of those who valued him.

“I want to hear your story, this servant is too stupid.” He grumbled, pouting.

Hearing Edward’s evaluation, the servant flinched a little, with a hint of panic in his eyes. He failed to serve the little master well. If this evaluation reaches the ears of the Duke or Butler Chris, then his life will be ruined and would be very dark. Thinking of this, he looked at Evan with almost pleading eyes, as if he wanted to get some courage from him.

Evan glanced at the servant and smiled softly, “Okay, Edward, don’t be self-willed. If you want to hear a story, I will tell you.” He waved at the servant. The servant glanced at Evan gratefully, knowing that he had let him go and hurriedly ran out.

Seeing the embarrassed back of the servant, Edward wrinkled his nose in disdain and said coldly, “What a useless idiot.”

During this process, Evan has been looking at Edward with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. Edward’s personality is exactly the same as that of Duke Wilson. Good at disguising himself, is this really a child of how old? Evan sighed inwardly.

The cold expression on Edward’s face was fleeting and when he turned his head to look at Evan, this look had long been replaced with a simple smile and he said with a childish smile, “Evan, tell me a story quickly or father will take you away again.” He hugged Evan’s neck tightly and his whole body was attached to Evan’s body.

Evan patted Edward’s back lightly, with a complex look in his eyes but his tone was extremely gentle, “Okay, okay, don’t worry.”

He took out the Bible from his large priest’s pocket and flipped through it over and over again. As he flipped through the Bible, he thought in his heart, this is originally such a holy book, but the one who reads it is not a good person. I really don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Evan and Edward were warm and cozy but Duke Wilson was not so warm. He sat in the study with a cold look on his face, looked at Ederson, who was dripping with cold sweat, and asked mercilessly, “I doubt very much whether I trusted you too much, whether it was the biggest mistake in my life.”

After saying this, Ederson almost fell to his knees as his legs became weak. He could joke with Duke Wilson when he trusted him the most, but he also knew very well that if he lost the trust of Duke Wilson, then his life would be over in the blink of an eye.

“Your Excellency the Duke!” He knelt on the ground on one knee. This was a very important courtesy. Ederson always thought that he would not kneel to anyone except the king, but at this moment he had no other choice at all.

“My loyalty to you can be guaranteed with my life!” He gritted his teeth to hold back his trembling hands, but his back was already covered in cold sweat.

Duke Wilson looked at Ederson, who was kneeling in front of him with a cold face, and pondered for a long time, until Ederson’s nerves were almost stretched to the limit, then he said in a cold voice without haste, “Then do you want to repay my trust in you with this incident? Why didn’t you report something so big! Why didn’t you think of a way! Do you feel happy to let others humiliate me in my own house?”

Ederson lowered his head, he regretted it a lot in his heart. At that time, he suddenly lost the maximum trust of Duke Wilson. He was always in fear. At the same time, he hated the person who targeted him. He never found out who it was, but there were only a few people he could think of and Colonel Mel happened to be one of those people. He was also the one he suspected the most, because apart from himself, Duke Wilson trusted Mel the most.

He knew that Mel was definitely the old duke’s confidant, the close relationship between them made others envious and Mel also gained a lot of wealth by virtue of this, but now it was the young duke’s world. The former friendship was very respectable in front of Duke Wilson, but in Ederson’s heart, the old Duke is dead and Duke Wilson should cultivate his confidants, so he has been fighting for the past few years for Mel’s position in front of the old Duke. Mel’s relationship with him has naturally become very bad, and now he has lost the Duke’s trust. But Mel, who was crushed by him before, has come up. This was a major blow for Ederson, so this time, how could he sincerely go to rescue Mel.

“Duke… Your Excellency the Duke, after Colonel Mel’s incident, I sent a letter to London, but you…you didn’t respond, so…so I didn’t dare to take any action…” This is the truth , but not from the heart.

Ederson did send a letter to London but he sent it when London was in chaos. He knew that the Duke would never receive this letter or when this letter arrived, maybe the dust would have settled for Mel’s issue. But he did not expect that Duke Wilson would suddenly decide to come back early, so not only did he diverge from the person he arranged to deliver the letter, but Mel was still alive and well. Ederson was already feeling panicked now. Duke Wilson’s means, he knows better than anyone else.

Duke Wilson just sneered when he heard such words. How could he not know what was going on in Ederson’s mind, but usually it’s okay for them to fight each other. But this time, Ederson stepped on the sore foot of Duke Wilson. He dared to hide such an issue from him. This is simply a taboo of the superiors. Being kept in the dark by the subordinates as a fool will make him feel a sense of crisis.

“Kevin!” Duke Wilson suddenly shouted.

Ederson knelt on the ground and started shaking. He looked up, only to find a young man who looked very childish walked in from the outside. He bent over to Duke Wilson and said in a low voice, “Your Excellency the Duke.”

Duke Wilson nodded with satisfaction, “From today onwards, you will take over Ederson’s job, Ederson will no longer be responsible for anything.” Duke Wilson’s tone was cold, without any emotion at all.

When Ederson heard this, he collapsed on the ground. He knew very well what this arrangement meant. Although he had not experienced what happened after this, he had dealt with such people countless times. People who have been relieved of all duties have only one final outcome—death.

Kevin looked a little surprised, but he immediately regained his composure and nodded immediately, “Thank you for your trust, I understand.” He walked to the door and said a few words to the people outside and immediately someone came in and dragged Ederson away.

Kevin stood quietly in a corner, bowed slightly with a humble expression, waiting for Duke Wilson’s orders at any time.

Duke Wilson rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly, feeling a little powerless in his heart. Mel’s matter has now been thrown into the light and George is watching in London. He must handle this matter carefully this time, otherwise if something goes wrong, he believed that even if George didn’t make a move, Orlam would definitely not be lenient.

“Investigate Mel’s shit!” Duke Wilson sternly roared.

Kevin was taken aback, but immediately stood up straight again and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Duke Wilson nodded. Evan is his card on the bright side while Kevin is his shadow in the dark. As long as Kevin finds out something and Evan tells Sheriff Chandler, the matter will be easy to deal with.
