"Mr. Schafer, a man of great renown, yet his son turned out to be such a disappointment."
Without paying any further heed to Caleb's reaction, the elderly man shifted his eyes to Shawn. "And who might you be, behaving so—"
Before he could finish, Erasmus caught a glimpse of Matthew standing behind Shawn with a figurine in hand. His eyes widened in shock as if he had seen something far beyond his comprehension.
Once he confirmed what he saw, the old man's demeanor changed instantly. "Your actions are most admirable. Our young sir here has always been rebellious; to have him corrected by you two is nothing short of a blessing."
Bartholomew had always held Erasmus in high regard, but even with that respect, Erasmus knew he had to handle this situation carefully. No matter how powerful or wealthy the Schafer Family was, they didn't have the deep-rooted influence of the Mirren Family, who was feared by all in Dewsbury. Even they wouldn't dare openly provoke Matthew, the Summit Warden. The Schafer Family might be the richest in Dewsbury, but their foundations were fragile by comparison.
"Master Erasmus, he hit me!" Caleb, barely standing, stared at the elder in disbelief. As the heir of the Schafer Family, he couldn't believe what was happening. Not only had he been struck, but now even his family's trusted elder wasn't standing up for him.
"Shut up! When we get home, you'll be in for a beating!" Erasmus snapped, shooting a harsh glare at Caleb. This foolish boy did nothing but cause trouble day in and day out.
Bartholomew had taken extreme measures to lock Caleb inside the house, but somehow, the boy had still managed to escape—and on top of that, offend the one person no one should cross, Matthew Larson, the Summit Warden. If the situation wasn't handled delicately, it could spell the end of the entire Schafer Family.
Shawn quirked a brow, gazing at the elder with amusement. "Looks like you know us."
"Your reputations precede you, Summit Warden Larson, Mr. Warde," Erasmus responded with a deferential nod.
