Derek dusted off his crumpled sleeves and retorted coldly, "Melinda! I’m not his bodyguard, I don’t have
the time to babysit him for you! If you need him, go find him yourself!"
Melinda clenched her fist and punched Derek in the chest, "I can’t reach him! I can’t find him! Even his
bodyguard doesn’t know where he is! Stop playing dumb, Derek! You intentionally jammed the signal in
the house, didn’t you? This is all part of your scheme!"
Derek muffled her with one hand and picked her up with the other.
"Melinda! You are grounded now! After tonight, you won’t be in pain anymore!"
In the banquet hall.
Violette suddenly stood up.
She was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and h
er unease grew by the minute.
Checking her phone, she saw missed calls and a message from Elijah that afternoon.
His message read: Find me as soon as you see this! I’m waiting for you in the banquet hall!
She was in the banquet hall, but where was he?
She tried calling him, but the call automatically disconnected, indicating a poor signal.
Wasn’t it only the south area that had no signal?
Her suspicion grew.
She stepped out of the banquet hall and was immediately approached by a tall, dark figure.
"Violette! Have you seen my boss?!" Elijah’s bodyguard looked at her anxiously.
"No! Weren’t you with him?" Violette’s heart clenched as her mind began to race, "I just tried calling him
but couldn’t get through. There’s no signal here!"
"It must be Derek who jammed the signal! I don’t know where he has gone. I was eating in the other
banquet hall when Melinda suddenly ran over asking where he was. That’s when I realized he was
gone!"
Violette clenched her fists, recalling the icy glare Melinda had given Derek.
"Derek... I’ll go find Derek!" Violette mumbled.
"I’ll go with you!"
As they approached the entrance to the south area, the bodyguard spotted Marcia family’s bodyguard
and charged at him, gripping his throat.
"Where’s Derek?! Take us to him!"
Seeing this, Violette quickly pulled the bodyguard away, "How can he talk if you’re choking him?"
The bodyguard released him, and t
he man coughed violently, "I...I don’t know where Mr. Marcia is? I’m just in charge of guarding the south This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
area..."
Violette: "Did you see Elijah come here?"
She had a strong gut feeling.
Elijah had spent the afternoon calling her and even sent her a message. He had been waiting for her.
He must have known she was here, he must have come looking for her.
The Marcia family’s bodyguard hesitated.
Seeing this, Elijah’s bodyguard kicked him to the ground, "Where did my boss go?! I have a short
temper, you have three seconds! Three, two..."
"Elijah went up the mountain!" the Marcia family’s bodyguard pointed towards the dark, "He went up
from there!"
"Damn it! Why would my boss go up the mountain! It’s pitch dark, why would he go up there!" The
bodyguard cursed and stepped on the man’s head, "Speak up! Damn you, speak up!"
Violette’s heart pounded in her chest, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Elijah had a bad leg.
He had just come out of the wheelchair not long ago
, and he couldn’t climb mountains.
Moreover, the mountain was pitch-dark, without any light.
"He...he went up the mountain to find...find Ms. Dennis..." the Marcia family’s bodyguard stammered
out the reason before passing out.
