Chapter 504 A Family Trip

"I'm indeed on vacation now, but I'm still on call just in case I'm needed back at work." Pierre then pinched Selena's cheek. "I'm making this very clear right now, so please don't get upset if I get a call telling me to leave."

Selena rested her head on the man's chest. "Thank you! Perhaps we should consider this a family trip. What do you think?"

"Of course," Pierre said before he turned around. "But we're still in the middle of our date here, and I'd hate to leave our business unfinished." After that, he pinned Selena down on the bed and got on top of her.

"You're a cheeky boy, aren't you?!"

Later, when the children heard they were going on a trip, they cheered in exhilaration, especially Joaquin and Jameson, because they had never really traveled before. On the other hand, Juniper tagged along with Pierre and Selena out of town once, but the hype was short-lived, for they returned home shortly after a few days. Therefore, the family trip came as music to the children's ears.

Knowing that Pierre could be called away for work anytime, they decided to waste no time and proceeded to pack their luggage. After booking the air tickets, they set off for the airport right away and took a 6- hour flight from Digton City to Yucaria's capital city-Romandale. At first, the children could barely calm down their excitement, but a few moments later, they began to get tired and dozed off in the plane. Since the kids had quieted down, Selena seized the opportunity to take a look at the details of the auction once again. Upon turning on the flight mode in her phone, she connected to the plane's Wi-Fi and wen through her inbox. It was only at that moment that she realized the email she received about the auction was not an official invitation as she initially thought it was. Instead, it was an unidentified email that looked like it was privately sent by an individual rather than an organization. Gosh! I didn't notice the private email address. I must have let my excitement turn my head when I received this email. After that, she quickly showed Pierre what she found.

"It seems that the email address has been encrypted with some sort of code. I doubt there is anything we can do now to trace it back to the sender, but from the way it looks, whoever sent you this must be up to something fishy. Who else knows that you're after this bracelet?"

Selena tried to recall and said, "My former assistant, Linda. But she should be..." Knowing Hades for his cruelty, Selena believed Linda had probably been killed for betraying him. “Meredith and Megan are also aware of that, but since my personal information with the auction is confidential, I don't think anyone would be able to replace out about that."

"You have a point. But it isn't impossible that someone stole and misused your information."

If Pierre is right, there could be a whole lot of people out there who know that I'm after this bracelet. Thus, it'll be hard for me to tell who knows my secret. As Selena ran through a list of names in her mind, she began to narrow down the possible answers, starting with Megan. I might have bailed her out of the prison, but I was just keeping my promise. Moreover, the Yard Family has long been nothing more than a spent force until now, so there is really nothing she could do. As for Meredith, Old Mr. Fowler couldn't have let her walk away in one piece after what she did.

"Fortunately, I told quite a number of my men to stand by for the auction this time-better safe than sorry after all. I know your goal is to retrieve the bracelet, but your safety should come first, if you know what mean." Pierre expressed his concern for Selena's safety, as he reckoned the auction could be a trap that someone was planning to lure her into. We don't know what these people want from us, and there is no telling what they'll do to Selena.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything reckless." Selena then seized Pierre's hand. "I have a question by the way." She seemed to have been reminded of something upon mentioning Linda just now. If Linda hadn't drugged the flowers, Pierre and I wouldn't have gone too far.

"What's the matter?"

"When we had our... first moment in the hospital..." Selena apparently seemed embarrassed to bring up that matter. "Was it because of the drug or because you wanted it?"
