All Her Secrets

The next morning, Paxton arrived with his men at the entrance of the apartment next to Styre University.

Francis and Carlo stood at the door, enduring the wind blowing for the entire morning. Finally, they couldn’t take it anymore.

Carlo, always the talkative one, was the first to speak. “Paxton, what’s going on? We’ve been standing here for almost five hours. Can’t we go in yet?”

From seven in the morning until now, almost noon, Paxton showed no intention of opening the door.

The wind in Loxton was biting in the morning, and the scorching sun near noon made people dizzy. It was truly torture.

Paxton glanced at Carlo irritably and then looked down at the watch on his wrist. He said in a low voice, “Don’t be impatient. It’ll be another half an hour.

“It’ll be noon in half an hour,” Carlo retorted, annoyed.

“So what? Are you tired? Do you want me to throw you into the mines in Ravenloth?” Paxton’s tone was cold, and it scared Carlo.

Cory was currently working in the mines in Ravenloth. He now looked like a plump of charcoal. The conditions there were harsh, and Carlo surely didn’t want to go.

Last time, the king of Ravenloth gave Catherine a gold mine. To expedite the excavation of the gold inside, Branden arranged for Cory to work there. The reason there was a gold mine in that place was that it was rarely visited by people, and the conditions were extremely harsh.

Threatened by Paxton, Carlo instantly became obedient, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing that Carlo had shut up, Paxton stopped threatening him.

In fact, Paxton was holding back his anger. He was sent to stand in punishment by Branden the previous night, and he didn’t even have the time to complain. What right did Carlo have to make complaints?
