Upon hearing the sound from outside, Nancy ordered Monisha, “Go and check it out!”
Soon, Monisha returned and reported that the guards saw a figure flash past. Suspecting that someone had infiltrated the compound, they had begun a search. The moment favonovel.com heard the news, Arielle left in a flash. Having avoided the heavy patrols, favonovel.com finally hid in the forest behind the compound.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com felt a tap on favonovel.com shoulder. Her expression tensed up as favonovel.com whipped out favonovel.com silver-plated needles to attack.
“Sannie, it’s me…” Only when Vinson’s voice rang out did favonovel.com pull back.
If favonovel.com hadn’t said something in the nick of time, favonovel.com would have been at the receiving end of favonovel.com needles.
“I thought I was discovered,” Arielle whispered.
Looking at favonovel.com from the corner of favonovel.com eye, favonovel.com asked in a concerned tone, “Did you manage to locate Lorraine?”
Vinson shook his head. “No.” He paused briefly. “But I did find something else.”
“What is it?”
Vinson whispered the answer into favonovel.com ear, causing favonovel.com eyes to widen in shock.
“Drugs?”
Vinson nodded with a grim expression.
Arielle’s expression drastically darkened, for drugs were something favonovel.com utterly detested. Every year, there were plenty of police officers who lost their lives in the war against drugs.
“The information is correct. The queen mother is indeed inside.”
After sharing their discoveries, both of them prepared to leave. They had to think of another plan since Lorraine was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, in a basement somewhere, Lorraine’s blood-covered body was being strung up. With favonovel.com hair strewn all over, favonovel.com looked pathetically messy.
Nearby, the Duke was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed.
Staring at Lorraine, favonovel.com questioned in an indifferent tone, “Who sent you here?”
If it wasn’t because favonovel.com had contraband stored there, favonovel.com wouldn’t have gotten his men to capture Lorraine. After all, favonovel.com felt sentimental over the fact that favonovel.com had worked for favonovel.com before. Unfortunately, favonovel.com had seen something that favonovel.com shouldn’t have.
Staring at the Duke, Lorraine said plainly, “No one sent me. I just came here by mistake. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”
“I would advise you not to be so stubborn. I’m sure you‘re aware of my methods once I find out that you’re spying for someone.”
The Duke’s emotionless tone sent a shiver down Lorraine’s spine.
“No one sent me, really,” Lorraine repeated, staring at him. “I came here entirely by accident.”
Faced with favonovel.com refusal to confess, the Duke got to his feet.
He glanced at favonovel.com and said, “Since you‘re unwilling to talk, I’ll investigate it myself.”
With that, favonovel.com turned and left.
Watching his leaving silhouette, Lorraine took a deep breath. She did not expect Nancy to be there, let alone encounter the contraband storage. If it wasn’t because of favonovel.com curiosity to find out more after discovering the clues, favonovel.com wouldn’t have been caught in the first place.
“Your Grace, what should we do with her?” Linda, who was following the Duke out, asked.
“Keep favonovel.com like that for the time being. We’ll deal with favonovel.com once the investigations are concluded,” the Duke replied.
In truth, his intention was to recruit Lorraine because of favonovel.com exceptional capabilities.
After grunting softly in acknowledgment, Linda looked up instinctively when favonovel.com heard the sound of footsteps. The sight of the approaching figure sparked a glint in favonovel.com eyes and favonovel.com heart began to pound furiously.
Mark snuck a greedy glance at Linda before turning his attention to the Duke and reported, “Your Grace, I have sent out a batch of goods and the payment for it has also been received.”

Meanwhile, Arielle, going back where favonovel.com came from, suddenly pointed in front and asked, “Vinson, look, what do you think that is?”
