Baron Malcolm, with trembling hands, stamped his personal seal on the just-written severance covenant.
This was a covenant to sever bloodline ties, and the seal was contaminated with his own blood, thus it held complete legal effect.
At the moment the seal was affixed, Baron Malcolm felt an emptiness in his heart, even experiencing intense pain.
It was as if a piece of flesh had been torn from his heart!
"Take it!"
He closed his eyes, enduring the heartache as he pushed the contract on the table toward Ronan: "Detective!"
These words were spoken with a tone of gritted teeth.
"Thank you."
Ronan took the contract, read it over, and after confirming there were no issues, put it away.
He then took a gold pound check from his pocket and placed it on the desk, saying, "Baron, please take good care of Alice in the future. Don't let her toil with the hired farmers but instead allow her to learn some knowledge and skills."
Baron Malcolm's face instantly reddened.
