1005 I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

"Now before I kick you out of my manor myself, LEAVE!"

Augustus's stern warning did nothing to the man who had his mind set on one thing. He knew what he wanted, and he was done denying that.

"You cannot throw me out, Lord Augustus. You cannot deny my reward either."

The confidence in Harold's voice was unnerving. A tight knot twisted inside Eloise's pit upon hearing the word 'reward'. She wasn't anyone's reward. He couldn't claim her as a reward, no man could!

"You are delusional, Davies!" Theodora scoffed, but the way her back was tensed showed that she was nervous about the whole situation.

"Actually, I am not, Lady Theodora. I have never been so! I am giving you a week's time. You can think and mull over this as much as you please.

After this week, I will receive your answer and acceptance. There is nothing that can stop me now."

Augustus opened his mouth to retort, but Harold beat him to it and continued with his nerve-wracking calmness.
