Chapter 101 A Bet

Knock knock knock.

As the two men confronted each other, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Young lord, are you there?" Dixon's voice came from outside.

"Just a minute." Lying on the bed, Corbett shouted at the door before slowly getting on his feet.

He then patted himself to remove the wrinkles from his clothes and suggested to the other man in the room, "You'd better fix yourself up, or people will think there's something between us when they see us like this!"

"Damn it!" Frank cursed, staring at him fiercely as he reached out to straighten his clothes, too.

With a smile on his face, Corbett checked up on Frank and said, "Come in!"

"What? Didn't you want to leave?" Corbett frowned and added, "Just go and get out of my sight before I change my mind!"

"Then we'll leave!" Frank immediately said as he pulled an absent-minded William towards the road.

Corbett watched the two receding figures, and for a long time after they left, he remained motionless on the same spot.
