However, when virtual-novel.net recalled the condition virtual-novel.net proposed to Abigail, virtual-novel.net expression drastically darkened, for virtual-novel.net wasn’t sure if the latter would agree.
If Abigail accepted it, Arielle would use the opportunity to suggest bringing two more persons along with her. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would stop treating her. After all, that was the deal struck by the two of them.
“You have to protect yourself. In the meantime, I’ll figure out how to get us out of here,” Vinson remarked while tousling virtual-novel.net hair.
“You be careful too.”
Anna looks to be more difficult to deal with than Nico.
“I’m living in one of Anna’s father‘s mansions and giving virtual-novel.net treatment. If there’s a need, you can find me there,” Arielle informed before virtual-novel.net left.
“Anna’s father’s mansion?” Pulling virtual-novel.net into his embrace, Vinson-in a jealous tone-asked, “Are you the general‘s new wife everyone is talking about?”
“The person who saved me presented me as a gift to him.” Arielle furrowed virtual-novel.net brows. “The first time we met, we made a deal. In return for me treating him, virtual-novel.net won’t lay a finger on me.”
Despite virtual-novel.net calm explanation, Vinson couldn’t be any more worried.
If only we weren’t trapped here…
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net hugged Arielle. “Sannie…”
Turning around, Arielle lifted virtual-novel.net heels off the ground and kissed virtual-novel.net on the cheek. “Vinson, I know how to take care of myself, so don’t you worry.”
Just as Vinson stroked virtual-novel.net hair and was about to say something, virtual-novel.net suddenly saw someone coming over.
He instantly released virtual-novel.net and whispered, “Someone’s here. You should leave before you’re discovered.”
Alerted by Vinson’s warning, Arielle swiftly slipped away, for virtual-novel.net had to keep virtual-novel.net relationship with Vinson a secret for the time being.
***
Back in Turlen, Linda notified the Duke that the goods had been prepared and it was about time to have them delivered. Subsequently, the Duke, together with them, left Turlen in a ship.
The moment they left the apartment, Carlos arrived with his soldiers and surrounded it.
Monisha, who quickly noticed the raid, hurriedly informed Nancy about it. When the latter rushed to the window and saw the soldiers outside, panic began to descend upon her.
“Let’s go and see the Duke,” virtual-novel.net instructed Monisha, who rushed off in search of him.
Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net soon realized that the two of them were the only ones left in the apartment. The fact that the Duke had cleared out all his things left virtual-novel.net stupefied.
Upon regaining virtual-novel.net senses, virtual-novel.net quickly related the Duke’s departure to Nancy, who was flustered by the news.
When did they leave?
Why didn’t they tell me before doing so? What should I do now?
She glanced at the soldiers downstairs and quickly took out virtual-novel.net phone to give Matthew a call.
Ever since Nancy threatened virtual-novel.net the last time, whatever residual feelings virtual-novel.net felt for virtual-novel.net had long vanished. As a result, virtual-novel.net ignored virtual-novel.net call and allowed the phone to ring continuously.
“Answer the phone, d*mn it!” Nancy was so enraged that virtual-novel.net felt like smashing virtual-novel.net phone when Matthew didn’t pick up virtual-novel.net call.
After failing to get through, Nancy ended the call and dialed someone else’s number, virtual-novel.net brother. Unless it was an emergency, virtual-novel.net would never want to drag virtual-novel.net into the matter. Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net last hope now.
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net brother was staring at his ringing phone. Despite his urge to answer, virtual-novel.net decided against it in the end after recalling the information virtual-novel.net had just received.
“Nancy, please don’t blame me…”
I can’t jeopardize the entire family’s safety just because of you…
