Someone is competing with you for a woman...
South Grant was jolted wide awake by Dodo's words.
"Speak plainly!" South Grant said through gritted teeth.
Dodo thought South was secretly in love with the teacher and was embarrassed for others to know, so he cleared his throat and said:
"Young Master Grant, the Marcus Shaw you asked us to keep an eye on took Ford to a hotel, and it's very likely that Ford is not in a clear state of mind."
What the hell!
The reason South Grant had Dodo secretly protect Ford was because he was afraid Marcus Shaw would do something nasty in secret.
But she never thought Marcus Shaw would dare to be so bold as to take a female teacher to a hotel.
South then recalled what Marcus Shaw said in the woods yesterday, that he wanted someone to keep their mouth shut forever.
Now, taking Ford to a hotel is definitely not to silence someone through murder. He probably wants to threaten Ford into keeping quiet.
