“Tell the queen mother to send me to Manchernius in exchange for a secret,” Cindy said under virtual-novel.net breath in the dark while suppressing virtual-novel.net fear and anxiety.
Worried that the man would not relay the message on virtual-novel.net behalf because virtual-novel.net did not believe her, virtual-novel.net quickly added, “If virtual-novel.net refuses to listen, virtual-novel.net will regret it forever.”
The man was a representative sent by the queen mother to get rid of Cindy. He was also the same person who picked Cindy up in Chanaea. Upon hearing virtual-novel.net words, virtual-novel.net mulled it over for about two minutes before quietly taking virtual-novel.net away.
When Arielle and the others got up the following morning, they heard a wave of relentless knocks on the door. Putting the towel in virtual-novel.net hand down, Arielle strode toward the door and answered it.
A fretting housekeeper showed up and reported, “Ms. Moore, that woman is gone.”
Gone?
Arielle frowned. “When did virtual-novel.net go missing?”
The housekeeper shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m not sure. I went to bring virtual-novel.net breakfast, only to realize that virtual-novel.net bedroom door was open, and the chain that bound virtual-novel.net was broken.”
“Okay, I know what to do. Carry on with your work.” Seeing that the housekeeper did not intend to leave, Arielle urged again, “Don’t worry. We will find virtual-novel.net sooner or later.”
The housekeeper felt uneasy, thinking that virtual-novel.net would surely get into trouble for losing Cindy during virtual-novel.net watch. Unexpectedly, Arielle did not reprimand her. Instead, virtual-novel.net comforted the housekeeper. With that, the latter grew fonder of Arielle.
“Thank you, Ms. Moore. I’ll get back to work now.” After being assured by Arielle, a great sense of relief and gratitude flooded the housekeeper, and virtual-novel.net went downstairs afterward.
As soon as Arielle shut the door, virtual-novel.net expression instantly darkened.
There are so many bodyguards in Paelsford Manor. Yet, a mere woman like Cindy managed to escape under everyone’s noses? Who is the capable person who got virtual-novel.net out of here discreetly?
“Any prime suspect?” Vinson walked out of a dark corner and asked Arielle upon hearing virtual-novel.net conversation with the housekeeper.
Arielle knitted virtual-novel.net brows and shook virtual-novel.net head. Initially, virtual-novel.net wanted to ignore Cindy for a period of time before interrogating her. Never in a million years would virtual-novel.net have thought that Cindy would go missing even before virtual-novel.net had a chance to find out who brought virtual-novel.net here. She had no idea if the other party had any ulterior motive, either.
They had been probing into this matter for quite some time, trying to see who was looking for Cindy, but to no avail. Alas, they even lost her.
What a bummer!
“Do you plan to go look for her?” Vinson pursued.
Arielle thought about it for a while and shook virtual-novel.net head. “Forget it. I’m not going to search high and low for virtual-novel.net anymore. After all, my reason for keeping virtual-novel.net was to find out who brought virtual-novel.net here. Since she’s been taken away, I’ll just let it be. I doubt the person who kidnapped virtual-novel.net is a kind soul. If that’s the case, virtual-novel.net will reap what virtual-novel.net sows.”
Now that Arielle had decided not to continue searching for Cindy, they had no reason to stay in Turlen.
I think it’s time we head back and settle the rest of the matters. Then, we shall just wait and see.
She shared virtual-novel.net thoughts with Vinson, who agreed almost immediately. He also told Arielle that virtual-novel.net planned to bring Harvey along because Harrison had been so worried about him.
“Sure, let me go to the palace and ask Father for a visa.”

Meanwhile, at the palace.
A horror-stricken Cindy was staring at an unknown woman.
“You’re the one who drugged me, right?” virtual-novel.net asked in a quavering voice while virtual-novel.net eyes were still fixated on the elegantly dressed woman.
The woman took a glance at virtual-novel.net nonchalantly. Then, virtual-novel.net asked in a stern voice, “What secret do you want to tell me?”
