chapter 987


    "Grandma and the rest are passing by. They’re bringing Jimmy to the prayer hall, so they won''te


    in,” answered Guy.


    He only made sure of that beforeing in.


    Charmine heard soundsing from the outside. However, the sound gradually faded away and


    nobody came in.


    She sighed in relief afterward. "Let''s check out if the sword has any problem."


    As she spoke, she walked over with Guy following her.


    The two of them worked together to open up the box.


    It was empty inside!

    Empty!


    This was only an empty box, and the sword was taken!


    How could that be? Were they trapped?


    Just as she was deducing the situation, a loud sound was heard as the floor they stood on broke.


    Before Charmine and Guy could react, they fell into the basement below. Everything was happening


    too abruptly and they had no time to react. 1


    Guy only reacted secondster when he rolled over to let Charmine fall onto him.


    Coincidentally, Charmine fell onto him and Guy made a sound, though he did not feel the pain. i


    He could clearly feel Charmine''s body on top of his; it was an experience he had never had before, i


    His face turned hot, his ears red, and his temperature skyrocketed.


    Charmine quickly reacted and instantly got off him.


    She asked, "Are you okay?"


    "Y...Yes." Guy snapped out of his daze and mentally pped himself.


    How could he be this way...? How could he have fantasized about her body? What a brute!


    Charmine, meanwhile, paid him no mind as she eyed her surroundings.


    This was an ice-cold basement with a temperature about 12 degrees Celsius. Cold air circted in the


    space as if it was winter, i


    Cold. Very cold.


    There was no window in the basement, and there were only a few holes on the ceiling that allowed dim


    light toe in from above.


    Since Charmine had turned off the power, there was no light and she could not see any more switches.


    Charmine frowned. It seemed hard to get out, and they


    might need some time to search around. That would not do, however, and she had to quickly find a way


    out before she died of hypothermia! 1


    She was walking around and searching the surroundings, though her head was filled with questions


    and doubts.


    Who was it that wanted to frame her? Why did they want her to fall in here?


    Was it the Warrens? She had never offended the Warrens before.


    Was this a way of Jimmy keeping the sword safe? That it was not against her specifically but against


    anyone who tried to steal this sword?


    Why, then, was the box empty?


    Just as she racked her brain for an answer, a warm jacket was abruptly draped over her. Charmine


    turned back to see Guy had removed his jacket and ced it on her.


    She quickly took it down and gave it back. "No, thank you."


    "It''s too cold in here-you’ll catch a cold," said Guy.


    She was only wearing an autumn long-sleeve dress, and the cor opened in a square opening,


    showing her corbone and neck. It was too chilly.


    Charmine insisted that he take back his jacket. "No need, you put it back on. I''m not cold."


    Even if she was cold, she dared not to wear Guy’s jacket. If Anthony found out, then...


    The thought of Anthony suddenly raised a vague thought.
