Chapter 998 By the tMichael realized what had happened and tried to take the wine bottle back from Barrett, most of the contents were already gone. Barrett ended up so drunk that he collapsed, unconscious.

Michael couldn't get rid of him-not at all, He cursed himself. What had possessed him to drag such a good-for-nothing back? Drinking this much-Barrett couldn't have drunk himself to death, could he? Frustrated, Michael stormed out and brought in a bucket of cold water, ready to douse him. But when he looked at Barrett-lying there as still as a corpse, his face pale and green-he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He shook his head, calling for his servants to prepare a carriage. He would personally take Barrett back to Valor Estate.

The ride was rough. Inside the carriage, Barrett vomited wildly. Michael could smell the stench of it from outside as he drove the horses. It was like the foul water of a ditch that hadn't been cleaned in years, mixed with the scent of decay.

Fuming, Michael shouted into the carriage, "Barrett, you'll pay for this damn carriage!" It was the only carriage he had-the one his wife used when she went out. He never needed it himself, and now this mess was going to get him into so much trouble with her. He cursed under his breath.

One should really avoid being too nice, and never be too curious.

When the carriage finally arrived at Valor Estate, Michael jumped out, red-faced and fuming. He called for the Warren family servants.

"Get your precious master inside. I can't deal with him." Benjamin rushed out with several servants. As soon as the carriage door was opened, the stench hit him like a brick. It was so overwhelming that he almost gagged.

He forced himself to breathe through his mouth and glanced inside. His younger brother was curled up in the carriage, lying in a mess of vomit and spilled wine. The stench was unbearable, the mixture of smells almost making his eyes sting with pain.

Benjamin was furious. He quickly ordered the servants to carry Barrett inside and back to what his room. After that, he turned to Michael, thanked him, and then asked, "Mr. Brown, on earth happened to make him drink like this?" "I don't know. You can ask him yourself. I'm going back to clean the damn carriage," Michael replied impatiently.

"It's not that I mind you bringing someone over for a drink, but look at the kind of person you brought home. When you see someone like him, you should just stay away! How could you let him chere? go visit Sage "And look at how filthy the carriage is! You've ruined it! How am I supposed to Violet tomorrow with the carriage in this state? Why did you have to get involved with someone like him? Of all the people, you had to choose that heartless man, someone who forgets favors and repays kindness with hatred Ptooey!" Lucille wasn't normally a harsh person, but when it cto Barrett, she spared no criticism. The truth was, speople just deserved it.

Michael didn't say a word the entire time. He just worked with the servant to clean the carriage, hauling bucket after bucket of water. The spring air was already damp and the sun barely shone, making it impossible to know when the carriage would dry. Even when it did, the smell would linger.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was no better at Valor Estate.

When Barrett woke up, Viola screamed in frustration, "I thought you were locked up in the Ministry of Justice and was trying to pull strings to get you out. But no! I found out you chose to stay there. If you don't want to cback and see me, just givea divorce letter and I'll leave! you

"Now look at you. The king issued an order to throw you out. You've angered him, and now you think still have a future? You've been demoted and your salary has been docked for three years. How are we going to survive that? I was blind to marry you. I'm warning you- don't even think about touching my dowry!"

After dropping him off in his room, Benjamin had already left by the tBarrett regained full awareness. After Amelia's death, Benjamin stopped caring about things at home. Without a job, he relied entirely on the family for food and expenses. Barrett sat there with a blank stare, letting Viola yell and scold him without saying a word in response.

It wasn't until she finally sat down angrily, out of breath, that he slowly lifted his head and said calmly, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the palace to confess my mistakes and resign." Viola shot to her feet, her voice shrill with disbelief. “What did you say? Resign? Are you insane?" pter 990
