Chapter 487: Chapter 487Everyone in the ballroom began whispering as they gossiped about Sarah Lancaster, the daughter of Earl Klaus Lancaster.
In their minds, Sarah was an ungrateful woman who didn’t seem to be in the mood to talk to such an amazing young Duke.
If only one of them had the chance to dance with the Duke, they would try to charm Henry as much as possible because a marriage with Duke Henry of York would change their life for the better.
Henry returned to Lord George’s side, and the old man warned, "Your hostility towards her is showing. You should be more careful."
"Pardon me, Sir. I’ll be more careful next time," Henry apologized. But you should know I have no intention of entertaining the idea of marrying her."
"I can see why you don’t like her," Lord George said. "I have enough experience to see she is one of those people who will do anything for her goal, even if it means harming others."
While Lord George decided not to bother with Henry’s problem, he still had to warn him again, "Gather enough evidence against her, and I will come with you to meet Klaus."
"Don’t worry, if things are going according to my plan, then I could find all the hard evidence alongside all the people who have worked with her in roughly six months," Henry said.
"That’s quite a long time. Are you sure you can contain her while
Nervous?

"Dad, you know that I’m always well-mannered! Everyone knows that! Why would I intentionally look pissy in front of him? Henry is the one who intentionally stepped on my toes!" Sarah yelled at her father.
She understood the situation was severe, which might lead to her father’s annoyance. She was already at enough of a disadvantage since she got heavily surveilled by Vernon and Henry, so she couldn’t lose her father’s support!
"Then do you think my old friend is lying?"
"Of course, that old man is lying!" Sarah got worked up. She had been frustrated for so long because so many things went out of control, and to control her father was the least she could do. "That old man must’ve been pressured by Henry to say those words because that bastard hates me!"
"Hates you?" Klaus frowned. "What did you do, Sarah? How could Henry hate you when he was in love with you before?"
"Ah—"Sarah was speechless as she accidentally misspoke. "T—That woman, Katherine, has been poisoning his mind. She keeps painting me as the bad woman in front of Henry, and Henry is a weak-minded man. He gets influenced by that mistress of his..."
"Mistress, huh?" Klaus’ brows relaxed a bit after getting the explanation he needed. "I still don’t think my old friend will lie to me, and I know he has integrity and honesty. That’s why we became long-time friends and business colleagues."
Klaus leaned on the sofa and glanced at Sarah’s swollen toe, "You should get that treated. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this problem. But remember, this is the last time I’m covering for you, Sarah. You are a mature lady and should act like one in public."
