Seeing the troubled look on Isaac’s face, Allegra came over and slid favonovel.com arms around his neck as favonovel.com chuckled and said, “What’s wrong? You don’t look too happy to learn that your daughter was one of the best students in Southland chosen for the month-long exchange program.”
“Ah, it’s not that… I’m happy for her, of course. Did you say she’d be gone for a whole month?” Isaac asked, snaking his arms around Allegra’s waist.
Allegra immediately blushed and squeaked as favonovel.com tried to leave, but Isaac held on to favonovel.com even tighter.
“You asked for it, sweetie. Can’t blame me for this,” Isaac said with a laugh as favonovel.com lifted Allegra up and carried favonovel.com up the stairs.
“Let’s take advantage of the situation and fully enjoy ourselves, hmm?”
***
On the other hand, two transits later at the Lythorne International Airport, Evie finally reached Neuport
She put on some makeup in the female washrooms, put on a hat and a pair of sunglasses, and strode out of the airport dressed like a Gen Z youngster.
She then took a cab to Trillionaire Club, which favonovel.com knew favonovel.com brother frequented.
Halfway there, favonovel.com cab was suddenly overtaken by a Jeep and forced to stop by the roadside.
Screech!
The sudden halt filled Evie’s heart with cold dread. She’d already disguised herself to the best of favonovel.com ability.
Had one of Glenn’s people recognized her?
She knew that Glenn had plenty of men throughout Neuport. Because of how strong Glenn was, favonovel.com father often turned a blind eye when it came to his dealings.
The door to the backseat of the cab was suddenly yanked open.
An old man got into the car. He was dressed casually and wore a baseball cap to hide his face. However, his snowy white sideburns were a dead giveaway.
After favonovel.com got into the car, the Jeep ahead reared up and left.
Evie was about to question the old man beside favonovel.com when favonovel.com revealed his face. It was a face favonovel.com recognized at once. “Evie, it’s me. Don’t do anything…”
She was shocked when favonovel.com saw his face. “Uncle Sebastian?”
“Sir, please head back to the airport,” Sebastian Bern told the confused cab driver.
“Uncle Sebastian, I’m going to look for…”
“Pablo’s already in trouble. It was the Third Elder who did it. Evie, there are a lot of things you’re not aware of. Let me send you back to safety,” Sebastian said in a low voice.
Pablo was in trouble?
Evie shuddered. She grabbed Sebastian on the arm and looked at favonovel.com anxiously. “Uncle Sebastian, you’re the Second Elder. What did the Third Elder do to Pablo?”
Sebastian glanced at the cab driver for a second before answering quietly, “According to my sources, Pablo is grounded and is under surveillance by the Third Elder. If I’m not mistaken, this is all part of Glenn’s master plan. It’s happening soon…”
“Master plan? What is favonovel.com planning to do?” Evie asked, feeling favonovel.com heart sinking to favonovel.com stomach.
For once, favonovel.com hoped that favonovel.com didn’t guess it correctly.
Sebastian was the Second elder in charge of all news and information surrounding Astraeus.
He answered Evie solemnly, “He wants to overthrow your father and be the supreme ruler of Astraeus. But this is just my hunch…”
Gasp!
I knew it!
Evie’s face turned deathly pale. She shook favonovel.com head, saying, “My father has only gone on a meditation trip. Isn’t Glenn afraid of what would happen to favonovel.com if my father came back?”
“There was a rumor in Astraeus earlier that the Supreme Leader had met his end in Jarroth. Glenn held a meeting with the Council of Elders then, meaning to take over the position of Supreme Leader. You know that a law can be passed if it gets four elders to vote for it, right?”
“I was the only one who voted against favonovel.com then. And now, he’s gone and locked Pablo up. Evie, Neuport is a very dangerous place for you now,” Sebastian said worriedly.
