Chapter 1631 Tell Me About It

“Old Master Lancer.”

Byron had already looked around the villa and found no sign of Xander. So, he went straight to the garden in the backyard.

When he saw Old Master Lancer, he greeted him politely but in a distanced manner.

Old Master Lancer put the watering can aside and nodded at Byron.

The butler arrived after Byron and looked at Old Master Lancer remorsefully.

Old Master Lancer waved his hand and said, “Leave us alone. I have some things I would like to speak to President Lawrence alone.”

Only then did the butler feel better and heave a sigh of relief. Then, he politely excused himself and returned to the living room. “I’ll prepare some tea for the both of you, sir.”

Byron and Old Master Lancer were left alone in the garden.

Byron looked around the garden but saw no sign of Xander.

Old Master Lancer spoke, interrupting Byron’s thoughts. “President Lawrence, may I know the purpose of your visit today?”

Byron showed respect to Old Master Lancer when speaking to him. He patiently said, “I want to speak to Young Master Xander. Can you please tell me where I could find him, Old Master Lancer?”

Old Master Lancer’s brows furrowed and he shot Byron a suspicious glance. Then, he walked to the table in the garden with the help of his walking stick and sat down. He beckoned Byron. “Have a seat, and let’s talk.”

Byron was not in the mood to have a casual chat. However, since Old Master Lancer invited him, he sat down beside Old Master Lancer.

Soon, the butler came with two cups of freshly brewed tea.

“You said you came to talk to Xander. What is it about?”

Old Master Xander had many years of experience in life. As such, he could remain unfazed even when he knew Byron did not have good intentions with this visit.

Suppressing the anger deep inside, Byron said in his deep voice, “This is between Xander and me. I think it’s best if you stay out of it, Old Master Lancer. All you have to do is tell me where Xander is.”

The Lancer family had over a hundred years of fame to its name, and Old Master Lancer was a reputable man.

Byron had not revealed what Xander did to the Lancer family yet. If Old Master Lancer knew about it, he might even get a heart attack.

However, his attitude worried Old Master Lancer.

“You can tell me anything. Since Xander is part of the Lancer family, whatever has to do with him is also a concern of this family.”

Trying to convince Byron, he added, “The Lancer family has always been strict with our descendants. If Xander did anything overboard, I will teach him a lesson.”

As seconds passed, Byron gradually lost his patience. He said coldly, “Why don’t you ask Xander to come over, and then I’ll let you know what I came for today?”

That was his last compromise on this matter.

Old Master Lancer could only agree; he asked the butler to call Xander over immediately.

In the backyard, Byron and Old Master Lancer’s conversation continued.

“I have already asked the butler to fetch Xander. Can you tell me what happened now, President Lawrence?”

Old Master Lancer sighed. “Xander has been a good kid since he was young. That’s why I made him the heir of the Lancer Corporation. However, he seems to have been troubled by something recently…”

Byron looked into Old Master Lancer’s eyes. “Sir, since we would speak in front of you later, I’ll be frank now.”

He continued in a deep voice, “Young Master Xander has used certain means to put my wife in a coma, and the hospital could not find what’s the cause of it. So, I had no choice but to look for him in person.”

Bewildered, Old Master Lancer froze and almost fainted. “What… did you just say?”
