Chapter 231: Beta

Gilbert was leisurely enjoying the morning tea, satisfied for achieving the first step of the new assignment assigned to him. Alpha gave him a month's deadline, but Gilbert estimated to get the work done within twenty days.

He took a sip of his freshly brewed Jasmine tea and let out a content sigh thinking about the endless possibilities that lie ahead once he fulfills the assignment successfully, and gets Ace within his grasp.

Gilbert's head turned to the door when a servant let out a gasp as she opened the door and saw the young miss of the house standing in a half sleepy state, reeking of alcohol. Xeumo slowly looked up and followed the eyes of the servant as it drifted to the man sitting on the couch. Her own eyes widening in shock, fear taking over her senses.
