“For some matters.”
Since Xavier could not say it, Lana took the hint and stopped asking.
An hour later, Arielle’s car stopped at Paelsford Manor. Lana parked the car at the side and glanced at Xavier.
“We can’t go in. That’s for VIPs, so only those with a permit can enter.”
VIPs? Xavier was very puzzled.
Since when did Vinson’s woman become Turlen’s VIP? Also, why doesn’t virtual-novel.net know that she’s here? Why can’t virtual-novel.net contact her?
Xavier was filled with questions.
When Lana noticed Xavier’s silence, virtual-novel.net asked, “Since we can’t enter, what are you planning to do now?”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go back.”
Anyway, virtual-novel.net had already found out Arielle’s location. He could always find another chance to contact her.

Meanwhile, after Vinson hung up the call, virtual-novel.net wondered who had brought Arielle to Turlen.
He was worried when virtual-novel.net thought about Arielle being in Turlen. Their investigation had revealed that someone from Turlen had most likely poisoned virtual-novel.net mother. Hence, virtual-novel.net was afraid that Arielle would expose virtual-novel.net identity and put herself in danger.
Since Vinson already knew where Arielle was, virtual-novel.net called Sasha and asked virtual-novel.net to recall the men. Before virtual-novel.net could dial the number, his phone rang again.
He picked up the call. It was Blake on the line, saying that virtual-novel.net had found the place where the mysterious man had locked Geoffrey’s family. Upon receiving Blake’s call, Vinson immediately bought a ticket from Lightspring to where Blake was.
He returned to Chanaea early next morning. On his way back to the Nightshire residence, virtual-novel.net instructed Blake to bring Geoffrey’s family back to the residence. He wanted to interrogate them personally.
“What’s wrong with you, Mr. Nightshire?” When Geoffrey saw Vinson being bandaged, virtual-novel.net rushed forward worriedly. “Why are you injured? Where’s Mrs. Nightshire? Why didn’t you come back with her?”
Mr. and Mrs. Nightshire went overseas together, but why is virtual-novel.net the only one back?
Vinson stared at the butler silently. The butler’s heart beat faster.
“M-Mr. Nightshire?” Geoffrey stuttered as virtual-novel.net gazed at Vinson. “W-Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Did you betray me?” asked Vinson as virtual-novel.net continued staring at Geoffrey.
When Geoffrey heard that, virtual-novel.net was so scared that his heart skipped a beat. He gulped and replied nervously, “N-No. How can I ever betray you?”
Vinson felt upset when Geoffrey refused to admit it. After all, Geoffrey had been working for the Nightshires for decades. Now that virtual-novel.net had committed a mistake, virtual-novel.net chose to deny it.
“Blake…” Vinson called out softly. Blake immediately entered from outside, accompanied with a man and two women.
“Dad!” a teenage girl beside Blake called out.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Geoffrey immediately turned around. His eyes turned red in surprise and excitement when virtual-novel.net saw those three people behind him.
“Mr. Nightshire, I…” Geoffrey realized that Vinson had found out about virtual-novel.net being a spy.
“Dad, how can you do something to betray Mr. Nightshire? Since when have Mr. and Mrs. Nightshire done anything bad to us?” The person who spoke was Geoffrey’s nineteen-year-old son. He was an honest and righteous boy.
“Geoffrey, you’ve really let Mr. and Mrs. Nightshire down. Don’t you, of all people, know about everything they’ve done for us?” said Geoffrey’s wife in disappointment as virtual-novel.net stared at him.
It’s a good thing that virtual-novel.net wants us to survive, but how can virtual-novel.net betray Mr. Nightshire?
