"Ugh..." Upon hearing this, Joey's eyes became cold and she looked at Judy. The cold look in her eyes gave Judy a fright.

However, Joey immediately withdrew her gaze and squatted down.

Tarlo snorted coldly and said, "You are my maidservant and she is the Crown Prince's wife, so she is also your master. She asked you to kneel, don't you understand?"

Joey gritted her teeth so hard that they creaked, and the anger in her eyes almost gushed out.

However, she still lowered her head. Her knees slowly slid down and she was about to kneel on the ground.

At the critical moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded. "Joey, don't!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Joey couldn't help but tremble. She turned around and immediately saw a figure rushing out from the crowd. His face was very familiar. It was Fade. "Fade, you..." She looked at him.

He rushed forward and pulled Joey, who was about to kneel down, up.

Tarlo, who was originally complacent and enjoyed pressuring Joey, was shocked when he saw the figure who suddenly appeared. When he recognized Fade, his face immediately darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's you, Fade!"

Fade glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Tarlo, I warned you before not to touch her, otherwise, I would not be polite."

At this moment, Joey pulled Fade's clothes and whispered, "Fade, things are not what you think. I..."

Opposite him, Tarlo's face sank. He looked at Fade, narrowed his eyes and said, "Fade, it's you."

After a pause, he said, "You said that I am not to hurt your sister but you seem to have made a mistake because I didn't hurt her at all."

"The truth is in front of you and you are still quibbling!" Fade stared at him with a gloomy expression on his face.

Tarlo curled his lip and said, "The truth? What you see may not be the truth. What you think may also not be the truth."

"In fact, I'm not interested in Joey at all. Today, she begged me many times to be taken in as my maidservant, so I reluctantly agreed." "Impossible!" Fade instinctively said upon hearing this.

However, Tarlo snorted, "If you don't believe it, you can ask her yourself."

Fade suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Joey who was beside him. He asked, "Joey, what's going on? Why did you agree..."

Before he could finish his question, she raised her head and looked at him. She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Fade, I did it voluntarily. You don't have to worry about it. I will deal with it."

"What!" This answer shocked him. He looked into her eyes and said, "Joey, I don't believe that this is absolutely true. How can you willingly become a maidservant to Tarlo? Is there a reason, or is he threatening you?"

He didn't believe that she was

elieve

willing, and he didn't believe Tarlo either. He didn't say much other than that he wasn't interested in Joey Furthermore, just a few days ago, his crazy pursuit of Joey was contrary to his current behavior.

In that case, there was only one explanation to the whole thing, that was, there was a reason why she had no choice but to agree to this.

At this time, after hearing Fade's question.

Tarlo, who was sitting in a chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and drummed on the armrest with his fingers. Then he said, "Joey, did I threaten you? Please make it clear to him!"

"Fade, I..." Joey bit her lip and looked at Fade. She was about to say, "I didn't..."

However, before she could finish her words, he saw her embarrassed expression. Without thinking too much, he knew that this was definitely against her will.

After all, the two of them had lived together since their childhood. With over ten years of interaction, he completely understood her.

Taking a deep breath, he put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her sincerely. He said in a low voice, "Joey, I want to know what happened. I know that there must be a reason why you made such a choice."

"But don't forget that I'm your senior, and I care about you. If there's anything, you can tell me. I'll do everything I can to help you solve it."

"If even I can't solve it, then let's go back and ask the old man for help. He must have a way to solve the problem you encountered." "Joey, don't you believe me or Master?"

She listened to Fade's sincere words, and the light in her eyes changed. Finally, her expression changed, and tears rolled down her face. She pouted and cried, "Fade, I was forced to agree, I..." Upon hearing this, Tarlo, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly couldn't sit still. He slammed the table and stood up and shouted in a stern voice, "Joey, you have to consider this carefully! Do you know what will happen to you?"

Meanwhile, the expressions of Hamilton and Mathilda, Tarlo's parents, darkened. They ordered their men to surround Fade quietly and were about to attack him.

However, as Fade swept his gaze, a powerful force spread out and directly pressed down on the men of the Long family, as well as on Tarlo, causing them to have difficulty breathing. Their movements were suppressed.

Then, he helped Joey up and said softly, "Joey, I'm here. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, as long as I'm here, you won't get hurt."

She wiped her tears and stood up. She looked up at Tarlo with a little bit of confidence on her face. She said loudly, "Fade, after I rejected Tarlo, I went back to the Luo family and checked on Master Luo and the others."

"Master Luo has been in poor health lately. He often falls ill. He has used a lot of medicine and met with a lot of doctors, but there have been no improvements. I had a good talk with him, and then I found out that what happened this year had a great impact on him." "The Luo family, who used to live prestigiously in Capital City, had a big downfall, and are now surviving on scraps. Soon after, with your support, Fade, they managed to revive into more proper living conditions."

"This time, the roller coaster- like change had a huge impact on Master Luo psychologically. Not just that, after what had happened to Centro, whom Master Luo dearly adores, he felt extremely upset. Furthermore, with his old age, his health is declining day by day."

"He told me that he thought he wouldn't live till this year. After hearing it, I was anxious about him, and I blamed myself in my heart. Centro is unconscious because of me. If he hadn't protected me he wouldn't..."

As she said this, her tears flowed down and she started to cry.
