Two hundred and seventy-six. Useless efforts

midnight.

The dead branches no longer sway violently.

The heavy rain on the ground subsided.

"Do you still remember her appearance?" The oil lamp outlined the outline of Lu Li's face.

[Sarah couldn’t help but recall “that person”. In her vague memory, her mother had long, silky cream-yellow hair that reached her waist. The waves were like ripples on the water’s surface. She was wearing the long white dress she often wore, sitting on her back.

On the high tower, overlooking the plain...]

"When I went to see my aunt a while ago, she was still as beautiful as when you were taken away by the Viscount a few years ago. Her hair has become longer."

Lu Li used the information provided by the plot to complete his fictional identity.

["You really..." Sara looked at the two seriously injured people in disbelief, but how could this be possible...]

["Impossible! If it was my mother who asked you to take care of me, why did you betray me to kill Adam!" Sarah yelled at the servants Lu Li and Irene, the dagger tightly clutched in her trembling palms. 】

"That's not me."

The Baron, who knew how to deal with it, did as he was told, shook his head and said, "I don't know why you thought I was snitching... but do you still remember that I was your personal maid when I was a kid? We played almost from childhood to adulthood, and you

You are my best friend, how could I betray you?"

[“My father himself said that the servants around me are here to monitor me!]

"Who did he say he was?"

[Sarah couldn't answer because her father didn't say who the informer was. He only said there was a servant... David? Laura? Vincent? Or one of the two of them. ]

"On the day you met Adam, I helped you hide it." Lu Li looked directly at Sarah and added weight: "But it's a pity that the Viscount found out the truth through other means."

[Sara subconsciously thought of the day she and Adam met. Now, his sunny and handsome face was now covered with spots, lying stiffly in the dark corner of the basement. While feeling pain in her heart, she also remembered Lu Li's help to him, and how it seemed to

A thoughtful gaze.]

["So..." Sarah's excited emotions began to calm down. She already believed what they said because they knew their mother. 】

Sarah will most likely ask about her mother's whereabouts next. Lu Li and the Baron have no way of knowing, so before that, Lu Li changed the subject and said, "Do you have someone in mind? The person who betrayed you."

They were not truly safe. For Sara, who was paranoid in her heart, she might be occupied by new thoughts at any time, so Lu Li needed to identify an enemy for Sara, their common enemy.

Responsible for diverting all of Sarah's hostility.

"Who on earth wants to frame me and make the eldest lady do these things." The baron spoke at the right time.

[Irene’s words made Sara, who had no thoughts, think of a figure for a moment. A figure with a malicious smile, the murderer who caused all this to happen...that...devil!]

devil?

Anna and Lu Li looked at each other.

The story suddenly becomes complicated and confusing. Is there actually a mastermind named "The Devil" behind Sarah?

"Have you thought of it?" Lu Li said calmly.

[Sarah nodded, recalling the shuddering figure disguised as Uncle Andrew. She even thought with fear, were these all part of the devil's plan? Maybe Adam was attracted by him...]

Sarah's mood became unstable again, and the Baron spoke out to calm Sarah's mood.

[Sarah felt much better, and asked Eileen with guilt and urgency: "Where is my mother now?"]

The baron didn't think about it well and remained silent. Lu Li answered for her: "We can't tell you."

[“Why!” Sarah looked at Lu Li. 】

Lu Li was good at making up things that didn't exist, so he answered her: "This is about why the Viscount took you away from your aunt and refused to let you meet."

These words made Sara think more about it.

The baron took the opportunity to wink at Lu Li. Their current situation was too bad. One was lying on the table like a fish on a chopping board, and the other was handcuffed to the wall...

Lu Li tilted his head and said he couldn't understand, and the Baron was discouraged.

"Sarah, let us go..." The Baron tried his best to make his tone and expression sad, but at this point, the plot was better than her.

[The tiredness in Irene's words made Sara feel distressed. She walked towards Irene, laughing and accompanying her every step of the way. The green and freckled cheeks gradually overlapped with her eyes... In the dark and damp basement, Irene's eyes were red and swollen.

, dirty cloth wrapped around the legs, disappearing below the knees... Sara pursed her lips, squatted in front of Irene, and said softly: "Don't you hate me?"]

"hatred."

The Baron knew what to say at this moment.

False lies only added to Sarah's doubts.

So the baron tried his best to make himself as sincere as possible, like an ordinary person who couldn't let go: "But I know you didn't mean it... The eldest lady is gentle and kind, even if she treats servants, she won't be like other nobles... I hate you even more

Become such a bastard."

[Sara’s expression became more and more guilty, and her dirty hands stained with moss juice gently touched Irene’s cheek.]

The baron did not hide, letting the black outline rub his cheek.

"sorry."

Sarah left a few words, stood up and turned around.

His narrow eyes widened, and the Baron watched Sara go away in surprise, his steps unwavering, as if he had made some kind of determination.

The Baron's heart began to beat violently, and nameless fear took over her heart again.

"We can help you! Think of us resurrecting Adam together..."

The Baron's shout gradually became smaller, and she already knew Sara's thoughts from the obscure ancient voice that sounded...

[It will definitely arouse suspicion...]

[It will definitely arouse suspicion...]

[Three servants are missing and two servants are seriously injured. They are not suitable and cannot appear in front of everyone. So when the night goes by, everyone in the manor will discover the missing servants. When they find these bodies, they will know

Everything is done by myself!】

[Sarah suddenly realized that she had no time or room for maneuver. 】

Their efforts suddenly become ridiculous, because the plot once again puts them on the opposite side of Sara.

"Look around you. Is this what you want?" the Baron continued to shout in vain.

"They all died because of you!"

"Is it all worth it? Just because of Adam!?"

"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your mother?"

Sara responded silently, and candles were placed around Lu Li.

"Why?" Lu Li looked at Sara calmly and said. The moss on his body had long dried up and stuck to his skin like a scab.

After placing the candle, Sara picked up the hemp rope and put it around Lu Li's neck.

["I have to do this." She replied sadly. 】

Sara tightened the hemp rope around Lu Li's neck.
