Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1565

“What? You can’t tell me about it?”

Samuel smiled coldly, gazing at Martin’s eyes.

There was no need for Martin to hide it from them anymore.

“I was part of it, so what? I just let out some information, and what and how others would do were out of my control.”

Samuel glowered at him.

“So, you are the one who finds the mine first?”

“Kind of.”

Martin didn’t deny.

Samuel took a step forward, and continued, “Why did you not develop it yourself? On the contrary, you leaked out the information, for what?”

“Because the Harper Town is very difficult to deal with, and I myself don’t like troubles.”

His answer was rather farfetched.

“What you try to say is the Harper Town’s bugs, right? As far as I know, you are good at bugs too. You learn it from the Harper Town, don’t you?”

These questions made Martin feel a bit anxious.

“What? I am right?”

Samuel was suspicious of it all the time. The past master of the Harper Town was pretty prudent, and would not leak out such an important message to other families, even if he knew about the mine. But how could Martin learn about it?

If Martin learnt it from an outsider, how did the outsider know it?

Most importantly, Martin had bugs!

And it was the exact reason why Samuel suspected him!

The bug of the Harper Town was one of a kind, and was way far noxious than bugs raised by people, who came from another town. However, when Morgan Clarkson treated Aiden Mathews who was poisoned, she found out that the way he was poisoned was almost the same as people from the Harper Town would do.

That’s why Samuel would guess so, and he was right about it.

Martin seemed to want to stop this topic, but Samuel kept it on.

“If you really are a member of the Harper Town, since now I am the master of the town, you should show me your respect, shouldn’t you?”

Being provoked by a man who was as young as his grandson, Martin looked terribly embarrassed.

“Shit! If it wasn’t for Alice Harper, you have been a dead man already. Now, how dare you ask me to respect you? Who the hell are you?”

“So, you do admit that you are one of the Harper Towns. But I was wondering, why is your first name Close, while everyone from the Harper Town is just Harper?”

Martin looked even more anxious when hearing such a query.

Samuel shook his head subconsciously.

Martin had kept this secret for years, and it was pretty painful. There were things he never told others and also didn’t want to talk about, but today, he already turned on the gas. He didn’t detest Samuel, so he said smilingly, “Edward is the father of Nicole’s grandmother, the king of Country S.”

Country S was a small country, like Country R, but its king was pretty content with things as they were. As long as there was no invasion, he just muddled along. And the people of the country were peace-loving.

Samuel had never expected that Vanessa Oliver, Nicole’s grandmother, was a princess, and he was dumbstruck.

“Are you serious?”

“There is no need for me to lie to you!”

Thinking of the past, Martin looked a little emotional.

“Edward loved peace, and he was good to Freeman. They were very good friends, although they were in different ages. He even wanted to marry his beloved daughter to Freeman to unite two countries by marriage. But Vanessa had no feelings for Freeman, so he gave up. By the way, Vanessa is Nicole’s grandmother, the only princess of Country S.”

Speaking of this woman, Martin’s eyes was full of gentleness.

“Vanessa was kind and gentle. She had dreams, she wanted to travel out of the Country S and whoever had married her could inherit everything of the country as the son-in-law of the king. I needed funds and power, so I approached her, put her in danger and rescued her by myself, and finally, she fell in love with me as I wished.”

By this point, Martin’s eyes were getting soulful, as if her name reminded him of the woman he loved.

If Samuel didn’t know what bad things Martin had done, he might think he was a good man.
