Chapter 1530: Chapter 1530: You Can Take It as a Warning!
Outside the venue was a beautiful lawn, already filled with long dining tables for the al after the auction. Waiters in tailcoats were busily preparing, carrying trays back and forth.
To the left of the lawn, a man holding a cocktail glass elegantly clinked glasses with the person opposite him, saying with a smile brimming with aning, “Is that so? I’m very grateful that Mr. Tony and his wife could co this ti, and thank you for your invitation. If I have the chance next month, I will definitely visit the Manor. I hope then both Madam and President will have the ti.”
“Oh, of course,” the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes imdiately replied, his wife, also blonde and blue-eyed, dressed properly and smiling suitably, stood beside him, watching the two n exchange pleasantries and playing the role of the perfect wife with impeccable manners.
Just then, Oscar saw Baron Lawrence approaching him. His smile faltered, and he turned back to the couple, saying, “Excuse , a friend of mine has arrived. I’ll go and say hello. The matter of the Manor is settled then, and please enjoy the charity auction today at your leisure.”
The middle-aged man seed to like him a lot and wasn’t upset at all that he was leaving mid-conversation, laughing and saying, “OK, don’t mind us, go ahead with your business.”
“Then excuse ,” Oscar raised his glass, took a sip of the wine in the high-stemd glass, and walked away apologetically.
Baron Lawrence arrived just in ti. He casually took a glass of Red Wine from a Waiter and handed it over, “Young Master Lawrence, here, have a glass. Lafite from ’82, tastes pretty good. I rember Skye saying you like Red Wine.”
Baron Lawrence’s eyes, cold as obsidian, took the glass from him, sipped it, and said with unclear intent, “She seems to tell you everything.”
As if Oscar hadn’t detected the underlying ssage in his words, he smiled slightly and said, “Not bad, Skye is a very independent person. Unless she wants to tell sothing, I wouldn’t know it if she preferred to keep it to herself.”
Baron Lawrence looked sharply at him, as if trying to read sothing from his face.
Oscar remained suitably smiling and continued, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to have a al with you. After all, you are Skye’s most beloved younger brother. She often tells about your childhood, and I’ve always wanted to et you. Unfortunately, the last ti we had the opportunity, you had to leave due to a sudden matter, and we couldn’t have our al. I wonder if Young Master Lawrence has ti today, could we have a al together after the auction?”
“I’m afraid I don’t have the ti,” Baron Lawrence gave no quarter.
Oscar’s smile paused, and he quickly said, “Is that so, that is really too bad.”
Though his words expressed regret, his eyes showed none at all.
Baron Lawrence was not one to beat around the bush. He had no interest in continuing this roundabout conversation and stopped the man who was about to walk away, saying, “Don’t covet things that don’t belong to you, or the consequences won’t be as simple as you think!”
Oscar was taken aback by the suddenness of his words, stunned for a mont, but quickly grasped the aning behind Baron Lawrence’s words.
It appeared that Baron Lawrence had already noticed sothing.
Indeed, the n of the Lawrence Family were not so simple.
After a mont’s shock, he regained his composure, pretending not to understand or perhaps implying sothing, he said, “Is this a threat?”
“You can take it as a warning!” Baron Lawrence was ruthless!
