“Well, I...”
The old man seemed very nervous when he was suddenly questioned by Charlie.
He hesitated and was at a loss for what to do or say. He could only subconsciously look at the beautiful young girl next to him.
When the young girl saw this, she hurriedly said, “Grandpa, things have already come to this point, so you should just tell this gentleman the truth!”
“I...” The old man did not expect the young girl to say that, and he was suddenly at a loss for what to do.
After all, he was just the young lady’s servant, and he could understand why the young lady was addressing him as ‘Grandpa’ in public. He understood the meaning in the young lady’s words, that she wanted him to pretend to be her grandfather.
However, he was confused when the young lady suddenly wanted him to tell Charlie the truth.
This was because he also did not know where he should begin or how he should explain the truth.
Before the old man could find his courage, the young girl quickly took the initiative to take a step forward and say to Charlie, “Sir, my grandfather is still a little indecisive, so why don’t I explain things to you instead?”
Charlie did not notice anything strange about the young girl and the old man. So, when he saw that the young girl was willing to tell him the reason, he nodded and said, “Young girl, please tell me.”
The young girl could not help but purse her lips and smile before she spoke up and said, “Actually, the reason why these people want to capture me and my grandfather is because of a treasure that my father left behind.”
“A treasure?” Charlie could not help but frown when he heard this, and he asked with some surprise, “What kind of treasure is the British Lord willing to go to such extent to get?”
Although Charlie did not know the British Lord’s name nor how powerful the British Lord was, he still had a limited outlook on the situation because of the small amount of knowledge that he currently had about this organization.
