Cole Crawford spoke with no restraint; as soon as he finished speaking, Xavier Crawford snatched the coffee from his hands and splashed it onto his head.
Everything happened in a flash, and Cole didn’t even have ti to react.
The dark brown coffee slowly flowed through his hair, soaking his white shirt. His suit looked even more disastrous.
He slled a strong coffee aroma, but this fragrance was coming from his own body.
He was very embarrassed now; this was the most embarrassed Cole had ever been since his birth.
"I don’t allow you to talk about her like that."
Xavier’s voice was calm as he tossed the coffee cup back at him.
But Cole didn’t catch it; the coffee cup slipped from his palm and shattered on the floor.
The butler ca downstairs and saw the scene, frightened to the point of heart-stopping, and hurriedly grabbed so tissues from the side, trying to clean up, but Cole shoved him aside.
"Xavier, do you know what happens when you anger ?"
He rarely got angry, especially with his younger brother.
Xavier said nothing and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Cole growled, the coffee still slowly dripping from his hair, splattering the floor everywhere.
Xavier stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around.
"You can curse , humiliate ; you’re my brother, my elder, I won’t retort a word. But you don’t know what happened to Eleanor, so you have no right to judge her. She’s the kindest woman I’ve ever seen, and also the most pitiful."
Xavier said slowly and walked out with his head down.
Cole stood in place, saying nothing.
The butler timidly handed over another tissue, "Young master, please wipe."
"No need."
Cole pushed the tissue away and went upstairs to his room.
The butler stayed downstairs, letting out a sigh of relief.
Both the young master and the little master had bad tempers, but the young master had always been forgiving of the little master. For so many years, whatever the little master wanted, he gave it to him. Because other family mbers had died early, when the young master took over Crawford Family’s burdens at the ti, he was just a child. All of Crawford Family’s assets were occupied by their uncles, and he and the little master were nothing but pawns under people’s control.
But the young master only took a year to forcefully reclaim everything.
Their parents died in a plane crash, no one knows where that plane fell, and the bodies haven’t been found to this day.
Over the years, the uncles tried to cause trouble, but the young master’s thods were too strong, suppressing everyone firmly.
He was always backing up the little master, but it seed the little master didn’t understand any of this.
Cole had just changed his clothes and ca out, seeing the door at the end of the hallway open, a woman walking slowly with a dog.
His brows furrowed tightly, he went downstairs first.
Eleanor Hollis looked up and saw the back going downstairs; her eyes flashed. She rembered this person seed to be Xavier Crawford’s brother.
She held Frost in her hand and, after going downstairs, saw the butler staring at her with a look like facing a great enemy.
"May I ask if there is any dog food at ho? Frost seems hungry."
The butler shivered all over, how could there be dog food in the house? Who doesn’t know the young master hates those animals the most, not even a mosquito can fly in here.
He sowhat regretted the advice he gave the little master then, his mouth slipping, forgetting the young master’s taboo.
"Miss Hollis, you take Frost out for a walk first, I’ll imdiately have soone buy dog food."
Eleanor nodded politely, "Okay, thank you."
After she took the dog out, Cole snorted to himself, feeling uncomfortable. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Young master, I actually think Miss Hollis doesn’t seem like a bad woman; maybe like the little master said, we don’t understand what has happened to her."
"Enough."
Cole impatiently waved his hand, hearing the barking outside, his brows furrowing even more.
"Mop the places the dog just stepped ten tis until not a single dog hair can be seen."
The butler’s mouth twitched, wanting to say if you can’t stand it, you can move out, why trouble yourself to et the dog at ho.
However, the young master’s words were the holy decree in this place, no one dared to refute.
Eleanor had already taken the dog for a walk outside; she hadn’t noticed when she ca in before, and only now realized Crawford Family’s residence was actually a manor.
It seems even the royal family mbers of Morvania don’t have such luxurious manor residences; why does Crawford Family have one?
Why is Crawford Family so powerful, yet for so many years never returning to their country, she had never heard of this family dostically, truly strange.
She took Frost for a round, seeing many precious flower species here, she couldn’t help but slow down her pace.
Frost slipped from her hand and ran off, disappearing in an instant.
"Frost!"
She called out anxiously, quickly following.
"Frost! Wait for !"
She was unfamiliar with the place if Frost caused trouble it would not be good, and that Cole Crawford seed pretty scary, she certainly didn’t want to provoke him.
"Ahhh!"
A woman’s scream echoed, accompanied by Frost’s barking.
Eleanor’s heart trembled slightly, hurriedly rushing over.
Frost was circling around a girl freely without doing anything aggressive, but the girl seed afraid of dogs, screaming nonstop.
"Frost, co back!"
Eleanor called out, Frost seed to realize he had mistaken soone, bounding on four legs back to her side.
Martha saw Eleanor, her pupils shrank severely. So this is the woman Xavier brought back?
She had known people from Crawford Family since childhood; her Chinese was quite good.
"You’re Eleanor Hollis?"
She asked indifferently, a trace of gloom in her eyes.
This woman was brought back by Xavier; she seed able to freely access the manor, now even raising a dog. Previously when she wanted to bring her dog in, Xavier stopped her, saying his brother didn’t like these things.
But now, he allowed this woman to keep a dog!
Eleanor didn’t expect her to know her, "You are..."
Martha’s gaze was cold, pointing at Frost, "Kill that beast for ; I want dog at tonight."
She was accompanied by several bodyguards, who imdiately stepped forward to grab Frost.
Eleanor tightly held onto the leash, not letting them take Frost away.
"This is my dog; what do you want to do?"
Martha’s lips curled slightly; she slowly approached a few steps.
"This beast bit just now; I am only seeking justice for myself. Eleanor Hollis, I am a mber of Morvania’s royal family; your country has a saying that recognizing the situation makes one fearso. On my turf, it’s best not to do things that make angry."
Eleanor still didn’t let go, stepping forward to push away the bodyguards, pulling Frost back into her arms.
"So you’re a royal princess, I’m honored to et you. However, even if your status is noble, it seems you cannot decide Frost’s fate."
