Chapter 486
Sarah’s body stiffened. She could feel the suppressing aura coming from Henry. She wondered what kind of heinous plan he had in mind but dared not to ask as they were still in a formal situation.
It seemed that Henry was acting as if they hadn’t met with each other before, her lips twitched, but she played along in the end when she realized that everyone’s eyes were on her now.
"Yes, that’s right. I am Sarah Lancaster, the only daughter of Earl Klaus Lancaster. Congratulations on your new title, Duke Henry of York," Sarah said. She leaned forward and whispered softly, afraid that someone else might hear her, "What do you want, Henry?"
Henry’s smirk widened as he couldn’t wait to choke this bitch to death. He replied with the same soft voice, "I’m surprised that you dared to come, Sarah. But since you’re here, I will gladly torture you. Your pain will be an entertainment for me."
Sarah’s lips twitched. She was terrified, thinking about what Henry would do next. So she tried to reject it by speaking loudly, "I think the Duke should find someone else to talk to. I’m sure other ladies will be more than happy to be your partner for the night."
The other ladies around them continued listening attentively. They acted as if they didn’t care that the new Duke was talking to the Lady of Lancaster, but they had been eyeing Henry’s movement for the whole night, hoping they could get a chance to be close to the rich and powerful young man.
Henry smiled, but even his smile couldn’t hide his anger, "But I fancy Lady Sarah right now. Do you not want to spare your time for me? Am I not good enough for you, Milady?"
Henry’s question was cornering Sarah since Henry said that in a loud voice, everyone around them waited for Sarah’s response.
Unfortunately, there was no way she could reject that invitation because she would be seen as rude and arrogant, and the only thing that Sarah feared the most was being hated by everyone in her circle.
