Chapter 1517 Karma Bites

"Tell the queen mother to send me to Manchernius in exchange for a secret," Cindy said under her breath in the dark while suppressing her fear and anxiety. Worried that the man would not relay the message on her behalf because he did not believe her, she quickly added, "If she refuses to listen, she 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 her words, he mulled it over for about two minutes before quietly taking her 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 her 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 she go missing?"

The housekeeper shook her head. "I'm not sure. I went to bring her breakfast, only to realize that her bedroom door was open, and the chain that bound her 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 replace her sooner or later."

The housekeeper felt uneasy, thinking that she would surely get into trouble for losing Cindy during her watch. Unexpectedly, Arielle did not reprimand her. Instead, she 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 she went downstairs afterward.

As soon as Arielle shut the door, her 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 her out of here discreetly? "Any prime suspect?" Vinson walked out of a dark corner and asked Arielle upon hearing her conversation with the housekeeper.

Arielle knitted her brows and shook her head. Initially, she wanted to ignore Cindy for a period of time before interrogating her. Never in a million years would she have thought that Cindy would go missing ever before she had a chance to replace out who brought her 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 her head. "Forget it. I'm not going to search high and low for her anymore. After all, my reason for keeping her was to replace out who brought her here. Since she's been taken away, I'll just let it be. I doubt the person who kidnapped her is a kind soul. If that's the case, she will reap what she 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 her thoughts with Vinson, who agreed almost immediately. He also told Arielle that he 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?" she asked in a quavering voice while her eyes were still fixated on the elegantly dressed woman.

The woman took a glance at her nonchalantly. Then, she asked in a stern voice, "What secret do you want to tell me?"
