章 275: Serious time

Seeing how upset she was by William's words, Lance hurried to reassure her, "It doesn't matter, my lady. Don't let brother in-law's words ruin your mood. My family is rich enough to have all the servants in the Moon Kingdom. We can even build the biggest herbal store for you, brother-in-law. Lady Susan doesn't have to do anything other than stay beside me and look charming and beautiful for me," he said with a loving gaze directed at her, while Alicia, who had been finding the entire conversation amusing, winced at how that sounded, so she was not surprised to find the frown on Susan's face. 

"What a weirdo," Alicia muttered to herself, but everyone heard her. 

"Weirdo? What is that?" Lance asked, knowing fully well that she was referring to him. 

Alicia looked up and was surprised when she noticed that all eyes were on her. She knew she hadn't spoken out loud enough for Lance, who was far away to hear her, so how did he hear her?
