Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 190
Chapter 190: You Actually Dared to Threaten Me
After Tidas left, his subordinate immediately went forward. “Young master, Shane is back.”
Upon hearing that Shane was back, Tidas’s brows twitched slightly. “What about the Kathleen? Did she come back with you?”
“I didn’t see the young miss,” his subordinate reported truthfully.
Tidas’s dark eyes turned cold. “How did Shane fail?”
As he spoke, Tidas strode toward the hall.
Shane was being arranged to sit at the side. His body was covered in injuries, and his clothes had many holes. He looked very disheveled.
Yesterday, he had been thrown off the cliff by Bach. Fortunately, he had been blocked by a tree branch, which slowed down the speed of his fall. That had allowed him to escape death and save his life.
However, his injuries were not light either.
At the bottom of the cliff, there was a deep pool of mud.
He had gone through many difficulties and finally found the exit.
The moment he found the exit, a smile appeared on his scarred face.
He did not delay and hurried back to report.
When Tidas saw Shane, he was stunned. His body was covered in wounds, and the bloodstains had dried up.
He frowned and said coldly, “What happened? Didn’t I tell you to bring miss back? VVhy are you alone?”
Tidas’s voice came from above, and Shane looked up.
He stood up with difficulty. “Young Master, I had failed.”
“Miss’s eyes couldn’t see. She asked me to go to the royal tomb to get the jade, saying that it could heal her eyes. Then, just as I was about to leave with the jade, Bach appeared and snatched the jade away.”
“At that time, I begged him to let me leave to heal young Miss’s eyes, but he refused…”
As for throwing him off the cliff, Shane felt no need to say anything.
He was only a subordinate. Whatever happened, his master would not care.
After hearing Shane’s words, Tidas was greatly shocked.
Kathleen was too daring. She should know the importance of jade. She actually asked Shane to retrieve the jade.
She was simply a scoundrel to casually tell it to an outsider!
However, the matter had already happened, and now was not the time to blame her. He put this matter aside for now.
His eyes were cold, “You begged Bach, but he still snatched the jade away?”
The jade belonged to his Yates family. What right did Bach have to snatch it away?
His Taylor family had only guarded this royal tomb for generations. How dare he be so bold! He simply did not put the Yates family in his eyes.
He clenched his fists in anger.
Shane’s voice was weak. “Yes, yes…”
Tidas was furious.
It seemed that the Yates family had to become stronger. Otherwise…
After a moment, he said, “Shane, go down and recuperate. VVhen your injuries are healed, go and bring the young miss back.” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered his subordinates, “Get Bach here immediately!”
‘Yes, young master!” The subordinates acknowledged and retreated.
Shane was carried away.
Tidas’s face was as dark as water, and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction with Bach.
If it was not for the fact that the Yates family still needed to rely on the Taylor family, would Bach dare to be so arrogant?
Soon, Bach entered the palace. Tidas asked coldly, “Bach, why did you steal the jade?”
Bach was slightly stunned.
He did not expect Tidas to find out so quickly.
It seemed that this Shane was still alive. He was lucky.
Since Tidas already knew, Bach did not need to hide anymore. He said, “Young master, I believe that you already know that Kathleen is not dead. ”
Tidas was such a smart person. How could he not find out that Kathleen was still alive?
The secret burial was undoubtedly done for the sake of the Taylor family.
Previously, Shane had told him that this jade was used to treat Kathleen’s eyes. Therefore, Tidus naturally knew that Kathleen was still alive.
He nodded. “Yes.”
“Since young master knows that Kathleen is still alive, then I believe you should know that Kathleen is currently in John’s hands.”
“The Taylor family has protected the jade for generations. How could such an important thing be taken by John?”
“Think about it again. If we really hand over the jade stone, will John let Kathleen come back?”
Bach only wanted Kathleen.
As long as Kathleen came back, he would immediately hand over the jade.
Tidas sneered. “Kathleen will definitely come back. You can rest assured.”
“I do believe in you, but I don’t believe in John. Young master, don’t forget what you told me. If you want our family to continue protecting the Yates family, then you have to fulfill your promise and let Kathleen marry me!”
“I will never marry anyone other than Kathleen!”
Tidas pretended not to know. “Are you saying that Shane took the jade because of Kathleen?”
Bach looked calm and said, “Young master, if Kathleen didn’t order this, how do you think Shane would know the Yates family’s Secret?”
“This jade stone is only useful to the descendants of the Yates family. Shane is just an outsider.
How would he know?”
As for this jade stone, Bach did not care about it at all.
Legend had it that this jade stone could cure all diseases. He was not a member of the Yates family. In his hands, the jade was just a stone.
Tidas pretended to be angry as he blamed Kathleen, “Why is Kathleen so muddle-headed!”
“John naturally wouldn’t know about the existence of this jade. Other than the authorization from Kathleen, who else do you think it is?”
“So, other than Kathleen, there’s no one else.”
“Our Taylor family has been guarding the royal tomb for generations. Isn’t it for the sake of this jade? So, no matter what, I won’t let it fall into the hands of outsiders unless Kathleen returns.”
After hearing all this, Tidas seemed to have just found out that Kathleen had asked Shane to steal the jade.
His face was dark, and his tone was filled with anger. “Kathleen is too impudent. She actually dared to tell Shane about the matter of the jade and even dared to let him steal it.”
After saying so much, Tidas had been ignoring one problem.
That was the matter of the jade being able to heal the eyes. Other than the Taylor family successor, only the descendants of the Yates family knew about it. How did Kathleen know about it?
Could it be that Marchesa told her about it?
Tidas, who had always doted on Marchesa, was now extremely furious.
Seeing that Tidas had fallen into silence, Bach stood up.
Looking down at Tidas from above, his voice was indifferent. “Young master, I can tell you with certainty that the Taylor family is currently protecting the jade for Kathleen.”
“If it weren’t for Kathleen, we wouldn’t have continued to protect the Yates family!”
Hearing this, Tidas was so angry that the blood in his body froze. He clenched his hands tightly and shouted, “How dare you! Your family was saved for the sake of the Yates family. How dare you say such threatening words?”
Without the Taylor family, it was easy to imagine what kind of danger the Yates family would face.
Facing Tidas’s furious roar, Bach remained unmoved.
He sneered, “You can interpret it however you want. In any case, without Kathleen, everything will stop! You should think about it carefully and quickly bring Kathleen back. When the time comes, the jade will naturally be handed over.”
