Listening, a vein throbbed on Lin Bao'er's temple. She moved her hands behind her back and dug her nails into her palms, forcing herself to maintain her composure.
Seeing this, a hint of coldness touched Bai Wei's expression. He glanced at the impassive butler beside him, then turned to leave.
"Wait. Since you're the young miss's classmate, the least I can do is see you out," the butler said suddenly.
Bai Wei paused and turned back, his gaze fixed on the butler's impeccable smile. He gave a soft grunt of affirmation.
The butler came out and, just as expected, walked him a short distance before slipping a note into his hand.
Bai Wei froze. Just as he was about to look down at it, the butler stopped him, his eyes red-rimmed. "Since the young miss went to save your family herself, your relationship with her must be quite good. At the very least... she trusts you. So, I'm not afraid to tell you. This note... she's the one who left it."
'A note left by her?'
'I knew it.'
