“Tell the queen mother to send me to Manchernius in exchange for a secret,” Cindy said under snazzynovel.com breath in the dark while suppressing snazzynovel.com fear and anxiety.
Worried that the man would not relay the message on snazzynovel.com behalf because snazzynovel.com did not believe her, snazzynovel.com quickly added, “If snazzynovel.com refuses to listen, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com words, snazzynovel.com mulled it over for about two minutes before quietly taking snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com go missing?”
The housekeeper shook snazzynovel.com head. “I’m not sure. I went to bring snazzynovel.com breakfast, only to realize that snazzynovel.com bedroom door was open, and the chain that bound snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com sooner or later.”
The housekeeper felt uneasy, thinking that snazzynovel.com would surely get into trouble for losing Cindy during snazzynovel.com watch. Unexpectedly, Arielle did not reprimand her. Instead, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com went downstairs afterward.
As soon as Arielle shut the door, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com out of here discreetly?
“Any prime suspect?” Vinson walked out of a dark corner and asked Arielle upon hearing snazzynovel.com conversation with the housekeeper.
Arielle knitted snazzynovel.com brows and shook snazzynovel.com head. Initially, snazzynovel.com wanted to ignore Cindy for a period of time before interrogating her. Never in a million years would snazzynovel.com have thought that Cindy would go missing even before snazzynovel.com had a chance to find out who brought snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com head. “Forget it. I’m not going to search high and low for snazzynovel.com anymore. After all, my reason for keeping snazzynovel.com was to find out who brought snazzynovel.com here. Since she’s been taken away, I’ll just let it be. I doubt the person who kidnapped snazzynovel.com is a kind soul. If that’s the case, snazzynovel.com will reap what snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com thoughts with Vinson, who agreed almost immediately. He also told Arielle that snazzynovel.com 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?” snazzynovel.com asked in a quavering voice while snazzynovel.com eyes were still fixated on the elegantly dressed woman.
The woman took a glance at snazzynovel.com nonchalantly. Then, snazzynovel.com asked in a stern voice, “What secret do you want to tell me?”
