It was late at night and the entire Griffith Family had already drifted off into sleep when Penny, a member of the household staff, pried open a small gap in the door of the backyard.
Through the gap, she could see Matthew’s figure standing on the other side of the door; he looked to have been waiting for a while, and not wanting his patience to run out, she quickly and cautiously informed, “Young Master Alexander has decided to sever ties with the rest of the Griffiths. It was quite the scene!”
In the dimness, his cold and sinister face seemed to brighten at the news. “I see. Well done, Penny.”
“There’s no need for praise.” Whatever Penny was doing now went against her good conscience and she was already uneasy as things were. However, she knew she didn’t have a choice, not while Matthew was threatening to hurt her grandson, who had only just started schooling not too long ago. “I’d be grateful enough if you could keep your word and leave my family unhurt, Young Master Matthew.”
“Don’t you worry, Penny, I wouldn’t lay a finger on your family as long as you cooperate with me,” he drawled with an icy smile.
