“Also...” Beckham sighed. “There’s a matter concerning Gwenn.” Beckham paused before continuing, “Gwenn is engaged to
Evan Tanner. Although I cannot cancel the engagement for them, I want to make it clear that Gwenn is no longer my adopted

with you to explain to them?” “No.” Beckham shook his head gently, “Mandy will be there to assist me. Don’t you trust her?”
Cherise pursed her lips. “I trust her.” She couldn’t deny that Mandy was much more competent than her in many matters. Since

Cherise furrowed her brow. “How is that possible?” The students in Shawbury were all from the nearby villages. All of them were
rural folks. How could there be someone who could afford such a refined servant? “Nothing is impossible.” The man in black
continued smiling. “My master mentioned he used to share a desk with you but later transferred schools. He saw you standing
here and recognized you instantly, so he wanted to catch up with you. My master said if you refuse, I must bring you to him by
force.” (Image) (Image) The man in black frowned, wanting to say something, but Beckham’s car had already driven away. “Who
