Upon hearing Thomas Fisher's hushed shout, Anthony instinctively stopped in his tracks. Initially, he thought Thomas was lying to deceive him, but when he turned and saw the seriousness on Thomas's face, he began to waver in doubt.
"Is everything you said true?"
He looked at the person not far away with skepticism, hoping to find the answer he wanted in the other's eyes.
At this moment, Alice Turner walked out from the house and saw Thomas Fisher and Anthony in a confrontational stance. Her brows instantly furrowed, "What are you two arguing about?"
Having been woken up by the noise in the corridor from a good sleep, her mood, which was already not cheerful, worsened.
Seeing Alice with a drowsy look, Anthony realized he had misunderstood earlier. Thinking of the things he said to Thomas Fisher, his cheeks instantly flushed, "You two take your time, I'll head down first."
With that, he hurriedly ran downstairs as if escaping.
