Chapter 5271

Cody droned on and on, not noticing how Veron's expression grew increasingly

uncomfortable by the second.

Seeing as Cody was still trying to talk, Veron waved her hands frustratedly." That's

enough, that's enough... I got you to keep tabs on Heather to see if she had any

unspeakable secrets. Why do you keep bringing up a child? So annoying..."

She had already been frustrated, to begin with. Seeing Cody return without any useful

news only made her feel worse.

Uhh...

Cody's face flushed awkwardly upon having angered his High Lady, scratching his head as

he scrambled to say, "You're perfectly right, High Lady. Well... Well, I'll go back to spying

on her."

As Cody spoke, he was about to turn and leave.

Veron huffed indignantly as a thought came to her while she watched Cody about to leave

the garden.

"Hold on! Come back."

As she shouted, Veron's gaze flashed with the implication of a daring guess.

At her call, Cody scrambled to turn and run back with an expression of respect on his face.

"Is there anything else you need, High Lady?"

His expression was respectful, but his chest thudded nervously.

Veron's ill-temper was no secret among the Lange family, and it had given Cody plenty of

headaches.

At the thought of Veron possibly punishing him for not returning with any news, Cody grew

anxious.

Veron frowned at the fearful look on his face. "Why do you look so scared?

Do I scare you that much?"

Cody scrambled to shake his head. "No... No."

Veron let out a sigh before changing the subject. "You just said that Heather lady spends

all day taking after the child and rarely leaves the Hidden Hero Sect. Nothing else?"

Cody nodded. "Yes."

Veron asked again, "Does Ambrose care a lot for that child as well?

"Yes..."

Cody hummed in assent before he continued, "Aside from cultivating, Ambrose spends

most of his time taking care of the child with Heather in that room. It's like they're a

family..."

Cody cut himself off hurriedly, sneaking a cautious glance at Veron's response.

Veron's crush on Ambrose could be considered a well-known secret among the Lange

family, but there Cody was, exposing the fact that Ambrose and Heather were spending

time together like a family.

He was just looking for a scolding, was he?

However, Veron did not yell at him. Instead, she fell into a brief silence before saying what

she guessed.

"Do you think... that baby is Ambrose and Heather’s own?"

As Veron spoke, she bit her lip as she fell into a dilemma.

Her feelings for Ambrose were to the point of no return, so there was no doubt that she

would not want him to have another woman's child. However, the news Cody had returned

with was indeed suspicious.

If they did not have a child of their own, why would Ambrose and Heather care for the

baby so dearly?

What?

Cody was frightened by Veron's guess.

"That... that can't be possible, High Lady. Didn't Ambrose kidnap that baby from the Sea

Dragon Island? I heard it's the Sea Dragon Empress' child, and they wanted to exchange it

for Heather. Also... Heather and Ambrose aren't married. How could they have a child?”

As he spoke, Cody shook his head.

The High Lady's assumption was far too daring. Based on Ambrose's position alone, he

was the current sect master of the Elysium Gate, and his every move was watched

incredibly closely. It would be huge news if he were to bear a child before getting married.

"Why couldn’t they?"

Veron harrumphed softly, unable to hide the resentment and venom in her expression.

"That b*tch Heather may look innocent on the surface, but she's probably a heinous sl*t

behind closed doors. It's highly possible she tried to seduce Ambrose in her pursuit of

becoming the wife of the Elysium Gate Sect Master.

"Also, no one knows where that baby came from aside from Heather and Ambrose. Them

saying they kidnapped the baby from the Sea Dragon might be an excuse." 1

Well...

Cody scratched his head at her response, falling deep into thought for a few seconds

before responding, "Are you saying, High Lady, that the baby belongs to Ambrose and

Heather, and they made a lie up to prevent others from talking about them?"
