Chapter 5277
At the thought, Ambrose looked at Cody. "Fine, what do you want from me?
Whew!
Cody heaved a deep breath and spoke in a highly cautious tone.
"There's an ancient belief that equates cutting one's hair to cutting ties with someone.
Why don't you give me a few strands of your hair, Sect Master Ambrose, and I'll tell my
High Lady that you've cut her off for good?
"My High Lady will see your hair and give up for sure. She'll never give you any more
trouble after this."
As he spoke, Cody had on a serious expression as his chest thudded hopefully.
Indeed, his ultimate goal was to obtain Ambrose's hair and nothing else. Knowing Veron's
temper, she would surely kick him out if he did not finish what he was ordered to do.
At the suggestion, Ambrose hesitated briefly. Following that, he took out a small dagger
and sliced off a lock of his hair before handing it to Cody.
"Well... That seems like a good idea. Here, take the hair and get out of here."

All Ambrose wanted then was to have nothing to do with Veron, and he did not realize that
he had fallen into Cody's trap.
Haha...
As Ambrose did not seem to suspect anything, Cody could hardly contain his glee.
However, he made a point not to show any of it, taking her hair and bowing deeply.
"Thank you so much, Sect Master Ambrose. I'll be sure to have a good talk with my High
Lady when I return." "Go, go!"
Ambrose waved a hand impatiently.
Cody did not say anything further, putting the hair away and leaving gleefully.
Creak...
Just as Cody left, Heather pushed the door open and came out holding the baby. She
stared at the retreating Cody, saying in an unreadable tone," Ambrose, I think that Lange
girl really likes you. A woman would only stoop so low if she was deep in the throes of
passion. I think you should just talk to her...
"Don't you think it was a little cold of you to cut her off, giving Cody the hair and all?"
Heather was a kind person, and she felt as if it was rather heartless of Ambrose to do such
a thing.
Uhh...
Ambrose was nothing but helpless as he flashed a pained smile. "You're just too kind,
Heather. Have you forgotten what she did to you just a few days ago? We would've been
separated forever if I hadn't gotten there in time. How are you still speaking up for her
now?"
Ambrose's tone turned gentle as he held her in his arms tenderly as he spoke. "My heart is
yours for the rest of my life and no one else's."
Sensing Ambrose's warmth, Heather was nothing but touched.
At the thought of the decision he had just made to cut Veron off for good, she still felt as if
things were not quite right. After all, Veron had an infamously ruthless demeanor, and
Ambrose's actions would only trigger her further...
Since Ambrose had already put things like that, there was no point in trying to talk him out
of it.

Cody left the Hidden Hero Sect main altar while it was still dark and made a beeline for the
Lange household.
He saw that the light in Veron's room had already been turned off, and it was late into the
night. It was obvious that Veron had gone to bed.
It was already so late. Should he wait until tomorrow?
No, the High Lady was an impatient lady. He needed to wake her up right there and then.
Just then, Cody stood in front of the door, hesitating briefly before he knocked.
Thump thump!
The knock was not loud, but it pierced through the silent night.
Quickly enough, Veron was woken up by the noise and said in a deeply annoyed tone,
"Who is it, knocking so late in the night?"
Cody took a deep breath, saying carefully outside the door, "It's me, High Lady." "You..."
Veron flared up in irritation at Cody's voice. "How are you back so soon? Did you do
everything I asked you to?"
Cody's expression was nothing but pained. "High Lady, I was lucky enough to bring back
something from Ambrose and the child."
At the words, Veron could hardly contain her joy as she hurried to open the door.
"Really?"
