Holding their breath, Vinson and Arielle grew wary at once.
“Whoever you are, come out now. I’ve seen you,” Linda asserted in a cold voice as favonovel.com scanned the surroundings while treading carefully.
Nevertheless, both of them knew there was no way Linda could’ve seen them. All favonovel.com was trying to do was to bait them out.
“Linda, I‘ve already checked. There’s no one around,” Mark said, emerging out of nowhere.
When favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com had returned, Linda couldn’t help but knit favonovel.com brows.
“Why did you come back? Leave quickly before you’re discovered,” Linda pestered favonovel.com in a serious tone.
Does favonovel.com have a death wish? It’s not like favonovel.com isn’t aware of the Duke’s methods.
“Calm down. I’m leaving now. You should deliver the food quickly. Or else, favonovel.com might suspect something if you take too long.”
Mark’s heart warmed when favonovel.com saw the concern in Linda’s eyes. After leaving favonovel.com with the advice, favonovel.com turned around and disappeared into the night.
Linda glanced at the darkness before entering the basement and unlocking it with a key. At the same time, Vinson and Arielle seized the opportunity to slip out.
Outside, the tree leaves billowing in the gentle breeze made for a terrifying scene in the darkness of the night. Vinson and Arielle, having successfully avoided the guards, prepared to scale the walls back out.
Suddenly, all the lights were turned on.
“Everyone, stay frosty. We have an intruder!” a man shouted at the top of his voice.
At that moment, every single person in the apartment, other than the queen mother and Monisha, came out.
“Your Grace, the woman is gone,” Linda reported to the grim-looking Duke.
“Did you not notice anything strange while you were there?” the Duke questioned angrily.
Linda‘s heart sank. She had sensed someone’s presence, but Mark had told her favonovel.com had checked and there wasn’t anyone around.
I know how capable favonovel.com is. Did favonovel.com really not see anyone, or did favonovel.com let them escape on purpose?
With favonovel.com mind overflowing with questions, Linda averted the Duke’s gaze and snuck a glance in Mark’s direction.
When their eyes met, all favonovel.com could see in Mark’s eyes was the deep and gentle affection favonovel.com had for her, causing favonovel.com to retract favonovel.com gaze.
How can I doubt him? Just like me, he‘s a faithful servant of the Duke…
“Your Grace, when I was delivering food, I heard something. But after going around to check, I didn’t find anything. The basement door was also locked,” Linda said with furrowed brows.
I have been holding the key the entire time, so how could the door have been opened?
Narrowing his eyes, the Duke curled his lips into an insidious smile.
“Since you just heard them, it means that they haven’t left. They are definitely still here. Search for them even if you have to turn this place upside down.”
The Duke sniggered in exasperation.
Despite the heavy presence of the guards, they still failed to prevent the prisoner from being taken away.
Upon giving out his orders, the Duke returned to his room in a huff.
This time, Linda didn’t follow favonovel.com in. Instead, favonovel.com joined the rest in the search of the intruders. She was angry at herself for allowing them to escape despite noticing their presence.
Vinson and Arielle were hiding in the forest. As long as they could move forward by one more meter, they would be able to escape safely.
Upon receiving the Duke’s orders, the guards began to search the apartment compound with guns in their hands.
“They’re probably not here. You should look for them over there. Make sure you find them,” Mark instructed a group that was looking around.
Now that they were familiar with favonovel.com after spending some time together, they agreed with his suggestion and went off in the direction favonovel.com pointed them in.
When they disappeared, Mark walked up to a nearby spot where Vinson and Arielle were hiding.
As Arielle drew favonovel.com gun amidst their growing alertness, favonovel.com was suddenly stunned.
