    Draco frowned, contemting how to further subdue Evan.


    A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.


    Draco’s voice thundered, “Come in and speak!”


    The door creaked open, and a bodyguard entered, announcing, “Sir, Ms. Love is back.”


    Draco’s face darkened, “Just her?”


    The bodyguard nodded. “Yes.”


    “Bring her here,” Draco ordered.


    “Understood, sir,” the bodyguard replied before leaving.


    As the bodyguard departed, Draco gazed at Evan sternly. “Get out of here!”


    Evan rose slowly, looked at Draco, and left the room.


    As Evan walked through the house, he crossed paths with Danie, who was following the bodyguard


    into


    the living room. Their eyes locked, and Danie beseeched him with a pleading nce.


    Evan nced back at her and whispered, “Do what you must to escape this ce.”


    Danie clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and followed the bodyguard calmly into the study.


    After Danie entered, the bodyguard closed the door behind her. In the study, she met Draco’s cold,


    rage-


    filled gaze.


    “Why are you the only one who returned? Where’s Bernard?” Draco inquired.


    Danie bit her lower lip and feigned panic, lowering her head. “We were intercepted by Neil’s


    associates.


    on our way there.”


    “Neil’s associates? How did they suddenly intercept your car? Did you leak my n to him?” Draco’s


    eyes


    widened in surprise.


    Danie vigorously shook her head. “I didn’t! How could I leak anything when you have my phone?”


    Although Draco remained skeptical, he couldn’t discern any deceit in Danie’s expression. “Where’s


    Bernard?” he pressed.


    Danie replied, “I don’t know. They blindfolded me, and we were constantly changing locations. When

    Draco sneered. “You’ve attempted to scheme against Caroline multiple times. Why would Neil,


    Caroline’s


    brother, let you go so easily?”


    Indignant, Danie retorted, “How can I answer that? I don’t know what you’ve done to the Xanders,


    who


    took Bernard! They must have a reason!”


    Draco barked, “Nonsense!”


    “Am I wrong? Provide me with a reason for Bernard’s capture, then! Stop pinning everything on me!”


    Danie’s agitation grew.


    “Leave!” Draco pointed toward the door.


    Danie left the study without hesitation, and the bodyguard promptly closed the door.


    Draco slumped back into his chair. Now that Bernard had been taken, he couldn’t be certain of


    Bernard’s


    loyalty.


    “If Bernard reveals anything, I’ll eliminate him first, Draco swore silently.


    “Lance!” Draco bellowed.

    Lance entered the room, bowing respectfully. “Yes, sir?”


    Dracomanded, “Arrange for surveince on Neil. If he discovers something, locate Bernard


    immediately and ensure his silence.”


    Lance hesitated. “Sir, Bernard has always been loyal to you. He won’t betray you.”


    Draco said, “After all these years, who knows if an old man like him might change his mind? I won’t


    tolerate any potential threats.”


    Lance contemted briefly. “Sir, do you think you’re being overly cautious? It’s been over 20 years


    since


    that incident, and all the surveince footage has been destroyed. Even if Bernard were to reveal


    anything, there’s no evidence.”


    “A witness‘ testimony can still disrupt my ns! I should have eliminated Hugh’s children when I killed


    him all those years ago! They’ve be a significant liability now,” Draco muttered impatiently.
