He had just stepped out of the Western Restaurant when someone quickly approached him, bowing and saying, âLord, weâve found some clues.â
âFound some?â Baron Lawrenceâs thin lips compressed into a straight line, his cold and anxious voice demanding, âWhere is she?â
âWe havenât found Ms. Clarkâs exact location yet, but we have some clues. It wonât be long before we find her specific location. Besides that, weâve also discovered some other things⦠â
The man hesitated to continue.
Baron Lawrenceâs heart sank from heaven to hell and back again. His hawk-like eyes narrowed, and he put aside his urgency, coldly commanding, âSpeak.â
âMy Lord, we have found thatâ¦â The man recounted everything he had discovered.
As the man spoke, Baron Lawrenceâs face grew increasingly hard to read, until it was an unprecedented shade of displeasure!
His hawk-like eyes seemed to want to kill the man. âAre you certain?â
âWellâ¦â
âIf youâre uncertain, then find out for sure! I want accurate information!â Baron Lawrence clenched his fist. If everything the man said was true, then Ennaâ¦
His breath was stifled, and an unprecedented sense of irritation flooded his heart.
âYes, sir!â
â¦
On the third floor of the garden-style castle, in a room fit for a princess,
Enna had already removed the needle for the nth time, determinedly demanding the nurse, âI want to see the Duke!â
âIâm sorry, Miss, the Duke is still busy with something else.â
âThen give me a cell phone. I need to make a call.â
The nurse once again firmly refused, âIâm sorry, Miss. We canât give you a cell phone without the Dukeâs permission.â
âAlso, the signal in the castle is completely blocked, so even if we gave you a cell phone, you wouldnât be able to make a call.â
The castle was equipped with a special signal interception device. They could receive messages from outside and access the Internet, but messages couldnât be sent out. No matter the device, either a phone or a computer, it couldnât send any messages. There was no point for the nurse to give Enna a phone, but she didnât dare do so without the Dukeâs order.
As the sky grew darker, Enna became increasingly anxious. She once again removed the glucose drip that the nurse was administering and demanded, âThen let me see the Duke.â
The nurse was almost in tears, trying to persuade her, âMiss, please donât make things difficult for me. The Duke is really busy.â
Enna didnât want to make things difficult for the nurse, but her mind was filled with thoughts of that man. At this hour, Baron Lawrence must have woken up. She couldnât even imagine his reaction when he discovered she was gone, let alone his reaction when he saw the message on her phone pretending to be him, asking Scott Harris for the Old Masterâs addressâ¦
Knowing that her requests were putting the nurse in a difficult position, Enna couldnât help but push the nurse anyway because there was someone even more important to her!
Feeling a twinge of guilt, Enna refused to cooperate by hiding her hands behind her back, declaring, âI wonât have the infusion, then.â
âMissâ¦â The nurse helplessly held the needle, she had no idea what to do.
Enna turned her head away, steeled herself, and pretended not to hear.
As the two were in a stalemate, the man who had been missing all day finally appeared.
He was still wearing a HUGO BOSS suit but had changed into a silver-gray one, which only highlighted his dashing appearance. He furrowed his brow at the situation in the room and had the nurse leave first.
âI heard that you refused the infusion?â
âI want to return to the Hilton Hotel!â As soon as Enna saw the person she had been waiting for, she immediately stood up, her attitude unwavering!
