Chapter 144 Shocked Catherine
"Avril, it turns out that you can tell what kind of master a servant is by her upbringing!"

A crisp but sarcastic voice came from the woods of the manor. Avril looked up with her eyes wide open, looking in disbelief at the girl who was walking towards her with a group of servants.

The noble girl in front of him was surrounded by several other girls who were also dressed in gorgeous clothes. They all behaved in a dignified manner and walked with graceful steps.

Avril suppressed her anger, her inner shock beyond words. She knew the girl who had just mocked her. She was the granddaughter of a prince. She never expected that even the prince's child would run to the Eternal Night Manor.

It was obvious that the purpose of these daughters of noble families was the same as hers, they were all targeting the renowned Grand Duke of Eternal Night.

"Haha, Avril, do you still think this is a college? Without those big group of licking dogs supporting you, you are nothing in front of Lisa!"

A girl in a sky blue skirt couldn't help but say that it was a rare opportunity for her and she naturally didn't want to let it go. Compared to the very beautiful Avril, she was just an unknown existence in the academy, which made her feel humiliated despite her equally good status.

As for the other girls, they looked at the magnificent Eternal Night Castle with curiosity, and some girls from shallow families couldn't help but exclaim.

As the original residence of the British royal family, the Evernight Castle was of course of high standard. Even Lisa couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Putting aside the things that appear on the surface, these smart girls have also realized the extraordinary status of the Grand Duke of Eternal Night. Looking around, they see daughters of princes, dukes and even earls everywhere. A glimpse of the whole picture shows that these people at the top of the British Empire seem to be trying to please this Grand Duke of Eternal Night who suddenly appeared.

This was somewhat shocking to these well-educated girls.

You know, even the prince of Great Britain did not enjoy such treatment.

After understanding this, some girls immediately regarded Avril, who arrived earlier than them, as their biggest enemy. Putting aside Lisa in front of them, most of them admitted they were inferior to her. However, they would never allow Avril, who was of similar status to them, to outshine them.

The lush grass was dotted with flowers of various colors, and the fragrance of nature filled the vast garden. However, the originally solemn and silent place was now filled with the noise of the girls.

Lin Jue came to the escalator and looked down at the girls who seemed to be arguing with each other.

"Your Highness, would you like to go down and take a look? After all, they are the descendants of those who stood at the top of this country!"

The butler's scarlet pupils scanned the people below. Towards these people, whom he originally regarded as of high status, he was now much more indifferent. After he was transformed into a blood descendant and accepted the baptism of the ancestor's will, the only person he respected in his heart was Lin Jue.

Those girls with fair and delicate skin and seemingly noble looks were delicious delicacies in his eyes.

Even the servants below, while they followed the aristocratic etiquette and saluted the girls, there was no change in their expressions. After finishing the ceremony one by one, they went back to their own jobs, and their efficiency was not affected at all by these girls.

Their words and actions gradually attracted the attention of several more observant girls, who kept this discovery to themselves. This was one of the things their parents and elders had asked them to do - to observe everything about the Grand Duke of Eternal Night.

"Lisa, haha, if I remember correctly, aren't you close to the son of a real estate tycoon and living in the same house with him? How did you come to the manor of the Duke of Evernight?"

Avril said with sarcasm on her face. Although her status and position could not be compared with hers, she was equally unwilling to be outdone. The girl in front of her actually came directly at her, so the pride in her heart would not allow her to bow her head.

"Oh, he's just a yellow-haired boy. How can he get close to my family? I'm just teasing him!" Lisa shook her golden hair, which reflected an inexplicable luster under the sunlight. She took this move easily. At the same time, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she became more and more disgusted with the girl in front of her who dared to fight back.

On the other hand, watching the open and secret struggles between Avril and many noble ladies, Catherine felt her brain was in a mess and she seemed dazed.

She knew the status of her own lady. It seemed that each of these girls who had arrived had extraordinary status. This suddenly made her notice a problem. If he could urge so many wealthy nobles to send their girls here, then what was the status of the owner of the manor here?

He's probably at least a count... maybe even a nobleman with absolute money and power.

Her thoughts were restricted, Catherine thought secretly in her heart, and she looked around quietly, trying to find the figure. In her opinion, with so many nobles visiting, the owner of this manor should be here soon.

She seemed to see a white-haired, old and frail noble walking towards her. She felt that it was impossible for a young person to have such a great influence. Perhaps only those ancient families with profound cultural heritage and long years of inheritance could have such strong power.

However, she was soon dumbfounded. She watched the group of noble ladies bickering for more than an hour, but the owner of the manor still did not show up.

Even her young lady's face showed a hint of intrigue at this moment, and she looked inquiringly at a servant of the Eternal Night Manor who was waiting on the side.

"Where is His Excellency the Grand Duke of Yongye? Is he not at the manor today?"

Her words instantly attracted the attention of several other noble girls. Apparently, after the argument ended, they all realized such a problem: they were of noble status and were visiting as guests, but the host had not shown up yet?
"The master is resting."

Lisa frowned at the servant's attitude. Unlike Avril, she shouted, "He's just a foreign merchant who has the status of a duke. How dare he neglect us? I promised my father to come here, but I didn't expect that guy didn't take the initiative to greet me and even made me wait for a long time!"

The anger that Avril had aroused in her heart had no place to vent, and the expressionless reply from the servant beside her instantly made her even more angry, and she shouted loudly.

The next moment, she and the sisters around her turned pale, and a strange and solemn atmosphere enveloped them.

Inside the manor, the servants who were either cleaning or pruning branches stopped their work and looked at them with deep eyes. No one said a word, but their gazes made Lisa feel like a hysterical roar.

"Haha, the arrival of all the ladies has made my manor shine. I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate. Please forgive me!"

A hearty voice instantly broke the frozen atmosphere around them. Lisa gasped for breath and looked with some horror at the unremarkable servant standing closest to her.

Just now she even felt that the man wanted to pounce on her and tear her alive. Those were not human eyes.

She suddenly remembered the solemn look on her father's face when she left, as well as his extremely solemn and strange request. Her face turned pale instantly, and she suddenly realized that she might have done something that she shouldn't have done.

At this moment, Catherine, who was in the crowd, patted her chest slowly. For some reason, her heart was beating very fast, as if some disaster was about to happen.

She observed carefully and noticed some unusual servants in the manor. She couldn't help but be shocked when she saw her young lady's frightened expression and the noble lady who was so arrogant just now but now silent.
