After Harringfort left the mansion, his face instantly turned sour. Eliza's decision seems so illogical. What kind of woman would not want to be happy in the marriage? He gritted his teeth as he thought of other ways to get rid of that woman.

He could not kill her as she was Lord Neeson's granddaughter. Killing her would only make that old cunning man rage. He could not ask to cancel the engagement either, as he was afraid to offend that older man.

This was the reason why he wanted her to cancel the engagement instead. "That woman..." he hissed. However, when he saw the message on the tablet that his right-hand man gave him, his expression instantly turned grave.

"Master... they wanted us to deal with Pierre and leave the place."

"Kill him?" He muttered to himself. They wanted him to leave Luxembourg since last night. However, Harringfort refused to do so. Instead, he asked to see Lisa and maybe even Jennie. Harringfort wanted to talk to the two about Madam Luo. Especially after what happened last night.

Harringfort received a piece of news that Jennie took Madam Luo and his grandson. However, they could do nothing as their people were not allowed in the Palace when the Duke received the request from Lisa. While they knew that Madam Luo and Claude were inside the palace, they could not just kill the two in front of everyone.

The organization still wanted to keep it lowkey, as the Duke was not aware of their existence. However, he found it hard to believe that the Grand Duke is not aware of this organization. How could that be? Most world leaders are aware and would even want to join them.

However, his thoughts immediately took him to the Duchess' family. Lord Neeson was the Duchess' father. Is it possible that the old man... deliberately did not inform his son-in-law about the organization? This is not something unique to Lord Neeson alone. In fact, most people in the council do not like to involve their personal lives with the organization.

Isn't this what happened with Lilian before? Despite having all the influence of the Organization, she still refused to use its resources to find her daughter. He sneered. Of course, that might be partly because Lilian knew that the organization was watching her every move.

He sighed. There had been a lot of suspicions that Lilian deliberately let her daughter run away for her to be saved under the clutches of the organization. Of course, the organization never found anything that would prove this fact. Slowly, the rumor got buried with the stuff that the organization does all day.

However, this did not last long. More than twenty years after Bec Facci disappeared, Lilian found her granddaughter. Because of this, another rumor sprouted. It was said that Lilian never wanted to rescue Jennie. They said that she never wanted to train her granddaughter. Of course... it was called another rumor, as this was not proven.

"Shall we return to Austria?" Yi asked after a few seconds of silence.

"They said they wanted us to return after taking care of Pierre?" He asked. To be honest, he does not understand why he still needed to protect Jennie from Pierre when Lisa is already there to protect her. It's not like she would acknowledge his help, anyway!

"Yes. They wanted to keep it clean... and silent. Also... they wanted you to talk to Lisa  and tell him that he only had three months left. It seems that something happened and now they wanted to make him an official member as soon as possible."

Harringfort narrowed his eyes. Of course, they wanted him to become one of them as soon as possible. Those people knew that Madam Luo might be alive. If that's the case, the older woman would surely talk to Jennie and Lisa.

Who knows what kind of information that Madam Luo had? If this continues, then... Harringfort was sure that those people would start to show up in Luxembourg to try to talk to Jennie.
