Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 394

Kearney watched Glenn's retreating figure, replaying his words. A slow smile spread across his lips.

The butler, who had heard everything, kept his eyes lowered, his expression neutral. He understood Kearney's choice.

They had maintained ties with the Fawkes family because their power was something they had to contend with. But now that disaster was looming for the Fawkes, there was no need for the Carlisles to continue debasing themselves.

Realizing this, his dark eyes flickered as he asked softly, "Sir, shall we still go to the Fawkes estate?"

Kearney glanced at him. "You go on behalf of the Carlisle family. Tell them that we are incredibly busy with business matters, and Glenn is too preoccupied with the search to spare any time."

The 'search' naturally included looking for Soren, a reason they couldn't argue with.

"Very well."

The butler acknowledged the order and turned to leave.

"Wait," Kearney said, a new thought occurring to him.

The butler looked back, puzzled.

Kearney continued, "Give Glenn another sum of money. Also, gather all the bodyguards on our estate and put them at his disposal to help with the search."

The butler hesitated. "Sir? Why is that? You've already given Mr. Carlisle so much authority."

"And if all the bodyguards are sent out, won't you be unsafe?"

Kearney smiled. "He's short on manpower right now. What I'm doing is providing a lifeline when he needs it most."

His smile was layered with deep meaning.

Glenn's aggressive move against the Fawkes family had served as both a warning and a test for Kearney.

Now that he had confirmed this son was more than capable of leading the Carlisle family, he naturally had to offer some incentives to ensure he would stay willingly.

By sacrificing his own safety to help Glenn find Evangeline, Glenn would be indebted to him, regardless of whether Evangeline was found alive.

Still, he hoped Evangeline was alive.
