I'm a Good Stepmom
CHAPTRE 57
Amidst the commotion, there was a rustling sound from behind the entrance of the living room.
" the Marquess!! The marquess!! " It sounds like a male voice.
Berick quickly opened the door, knowing who was screaming. When the door opened, it turned out that the voice belonged to a knight.
" What's up? Why are you so noisy!! " Task Berick a little emotion.
The knight breathlessly replied.
" Gawat Young Master!! East fortress has been damaged by the monsters—
Before his report was completed, Jack suddenly grabbed with a clearly angry voice.
" What did you say?!!! The eastern fort is broken?!! Say it again!! " In a burning rage, Jack grabbed the knight's collar.
" Yes, be—the eastern fort was damaged due to monster attacks. " The knight answered with fear.
" Damn it!! " Jack with an emotion spit out irritated with a harsh word.
The guest who was still sitting, he trembled at the rampage of Sanjay's sons. He finally left, leaving them.
" ......? " Berick glanced at Arnold with a doubtful face, Arnold looked more frozen and more chaotic, he could not say anything.
| Why did this happen? Wh why? What's wrong? | Instead of talking, Arnold wondered instead in his mind.
Jack ruffled his coarse hair while walking back and forth, the look on his face wrinkled horribly.
" One problem is not finished!! and now comes another new problem!!! " She shouted Jack in anger.
" Sister, talk?!! why just shut up?!! " Berick shook Arnold.
Arnold opened his mouth and stood up from his seat.
" ....L'm....
" Eric..call Eric!! He's the one who handled the mine certificate. I entrusted that to him. " Arnold finally remembered that.
| Eric, he couldn't have betrayed? No, don't let that happen!! | Thought Arnold.
" Eric? " The noble Jack recalled Henric's words while in the park two years ago before Henric left.
—You guys have to be careful with Eric, because he's not as good as we thought he was. (CH47)
Henric's words just passed by, making Jack even more convinced, that Eric was not as good as they thought.
Before Jack calls Eric for an explanation. Jack chose to take care of the East Fortress problem first.
" Please put aside the gold mine, the lives of many people are threatened because of the destruction of the eastern fort. We need to solve that problem first. " Say Jack, calm down a little.
" All right, let's put the mine problem aside. " Said Arnold starting to be confident again.

The Royal Palace of Laontel.
In a room when the day has seen its dark side.
Shadow gathered in a dark room, they were about to report about Violet's search.
" island? Where is the island, because I can't wait to bring it back. " Said Edward in the main seat.
" Hibria Island, the island is blocked by noble magic. I got this information from the island's immigrants. " Answer Chairman Shadow.
" .......Hibria? So, you're hiding in there?....." Edward coldly responded.
His face was blocked by the darkness of the room, but the cold was still felt. Edward, who had been searching for Violet, finally began to get a clue.
After Shadow is sent down to search for Violet, Edward begins to get clues.
" There's no harm in me killing those useless ministers. " Edward muttered in a cold voice.
Shadow at that moment felt an uneasy air, they knew how his master behaved. The now merciless Edward, if wrong then they would be punished in a cruel way.
" You can go!! " Shouted Edward telling Shadow to leave.
In an instant Shadow who looked down respectfully disappeared from before Edward.
" I'll take you home soon. I'll make sure you never leave. " Said Edward with his creepy ambition.
...----------------...
" Because I've got mine and some other riches. I don't need to be in this castle anymore. " Eric with suspicious gestures muttered.
He was wearing a cloak covered with several suitcases in his hands. Looks like he's gonna run away.
" If I want to take the castle and the title of Marquess, I will definitely fail. Because they're starting to know that I'm a traitor. " Murm Eric.
Eric begins to realize that, after he is asked for an explanation of his lies about Violet's report.
From there Eric knew, if he continued to forcefully take over the castle and the title of Marquess, he would definitely fail and get nothing.
And so, he made a plan. The plan was to take the Mine which became the financial roots of the Marquess family.
After the mine is picked up and sold to someone else, Eric plans to escape with the money from the sale of the gold mine, and some of the wealth he took from the Marquess family.
" The money I get from the servants' pay cuts is already very much, now added to the gold mine sales money. I am already very rich, enough for me to build a luxurious castle and buy the title of nobleman in a foreign territory. " Say Eric with his sly and wicked grin.
" Now I have to go, and enjoy the money. " Say Eric again.
Eric quickly exits the Marquess Castle, unbeknownst to anyone.
At that moment the castle was empty because the guards, knights, and some servants were in the eastern fortress that was damaged by the Monster.
They were assigned to help the victims who were attacked by monsters.
Eric was lucky enough, as he could escape easily.

SERIATE.......
" Go Henric!! I don't want to see you!! Never show up in front of me!! Because I'm sick of seeing your face!!!
