章 940: Chapter 943: Must Not Let Aidan Lucas Find Out (2)

"Mr. Lucas, I have indeed been watching over Young Lady the entire time. But halfway through the banquet, Madam suddenly called me to the upstairs lounge, saying she had something to ask me. I... I couldn't refuse."

After all, it was Madam, not someone else.

And at that time, when he left, seeing Alice was simply too heroic.

She had single-handedly taken down a group of socialite ladies, not to mention Milly Gray, and left Mr. Taylor speechless.

He thought that leaving briefly shouldn't pose a problem.

Who would have known, after waiting for ages in the lounge, Madam didn't show up.

By the time he went back downstairs to ask about Madam's whereabouts.

Not to mention Madam.

Even Alice had disappeared.

"Mr. Lucas, I know I'm at fault, and I'll go down to accept my punishment."

Benjamin Lucas IX knew, no matter the reason, abandoning his duty was his mistake.

"We can talk about the punishment later, now, go help me with something first."

"Huh?"
