Chapter 672


    Liya was curled up on the bed, her hair disheveled. She covered herself with a nket. Her face


    was pale and she felt dizzy.


    After a while, there was a knock on the door.


    "No, don''t find me." She trembled and grasped the quilt tightly, screaming with fear, "Meroy, I didn''t


    mean to kill you. Don''t find me. I didn''t mean to kill you."


    The knocks on the door became louder and louder.


    Liya was badly frightened. Her entire body was trembling as she covered her ears with her hands.


    She shook her head frantically, feeling extremely terrified. She kept muttering, "Meroy, please don''t


    look for me. Forgive me, please."


    "Liya, hurry up and open the door." There was a knock on the door. The person outside seemed to


    have be impatient after waiting for a while. She shouted out in a rough voice.


    Liya let go of her ears and raised her head.


    The voice belonged to Letty.


    She suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up.


    "Liya, hurry up and open the door. There''s no time."


    Letty''s impatient voice rang out from outside again.


    These days, there were a lot of footsteps outside the Emerald Garden and it was always noisy,


    especially at night. However, that day, the usually chaotic garden seemed to have quietened down.


    Stunned for a moment, she got out of bed and rushed to the door to open it.


    Letty was dressed in a long- sleeved shirt and pants, with a hat as well. She was standing by the


    door with two bags in her hand. It seemed that she was ready to go out.


    "Quick, Hansen is back. They are about to close all the entrances. We have to escape before they


    do so, or we''ll be finished." Letty saw Liya looking at her with frightened eyes. She looked like a


    ghost. Her face was deathly pale and her lips were trembling. She sneered in her heart and looked


    at her disdainfully, reminding her.


    "Did Hansene back?" After opening her eyes for a while, Liya came back to her senses and


    questioned.


    Letty looked at her with contempt and said with ace of sarcasm in her tone, "Are you still


    dreaming of being Hansen''s second wife? From what you did, I can guarantee that you will be


    caught by Hansen when hees back. Be smart,

    pack up your things, and leave."


    Liya''s entire body was trembling. Her eyes were nk as she opened her mouth. Hansen''s face


    appeared before her eyes, the elegant figure of the young master whom she had admired from a


    young age. He was the only one who had helped her in Richards Manor when she was young.


    A sense of warmth that did not belong to her rose in her heart. After that, she got very excited again


    and her whole body seemed to be floating in the air.


    The sound of footsteps downstairs became louder and louder. Through the shade of the trees in the


    corridor, Letty saw that many security guards were lining up in the garden and heading towards the


    gate. There was also security personnel patrolling in the garden.


    She was scared out of her wits. When she turned around to look at Liya, she saw that she was


    completely in a daze. Sometimes, she would cry. At other times, she wouldugh. She was


    Letty had lost her patience. She just urged her a few more times before walking out quickly with the


    bags in her hand.


    This woman was out of her mind. If it weren''t for Zoe asking her to bring Liya out, afraid that she


    would not stand the interrogation and end up exposing them, then she wouldn''t have cared about


    this stupid woman''s life or death. However, at that moment, she could only run for her life.


    As she thought, she lowered her hat, held the bags, and walked out as if nothing had happened.


    Hansen had just walked out of the study of Green Jade Garden when he saw the security captain


    hurrying over.


    "Mr. Richards, we''ve just caught a servant who tried to sneak out from the back door. What should


    we do?" The head of the security team was busy giving orders to close all entrances of every


    building when he overheard the security guards stationed at the small door at the north wing of the


    manor reporting that a woman had been trying to sneak out.


    The head of the security team had worked in the mansion for years. He was more wary these days,


    given that a murder case had urred in the mansion. It was very significant that the chairman,


    who had just returned from Capital City, had decided to close the exits of the mansion, even during


    Madam Vivian''s funeral. Thus, when he found this woman, he ran to the mansion and told Hansen


    in person.


    Hansen''s eyes shed as he asked in a deep voice, "What''s the servant''s name? Where was she


    located?" "Mr. Richards, she''s Letty, a kitchen staff in Ink Garden," The captain of the security


    guards replied.


    "Letty?" Hansen could not recall anyone named Letty. He had never paid much attention to the


    servants of the mansion, but it was obvious that this Letty wanted to sneak into the mansion at this


    point in time. He immediately ordered in a serious voice, "Take her to the conference room right


    now."


    "Yes, sir," the captain of the security team answered.


    The closing of the entrances of Richards Manor proceeded in an orderly fashion.


    Zoe stood in the bedroom, pacing back and forth, with a cigarette in hand. She looked haggard.


    Ever since she hade back from Vivian''s funeral at Richards Manor the previous night, she had


    begun to feel restless.


    The night before, she had met Sergio in the Richards Manor. The words he said pushed her into the


    dark abyss. Letty and Liya, the fools, had actually killed Meroy, undoubtedly alerting the enemy. Her


    n was about to be exposed even before it started. Hence, she had ordered Letty to bring Liya


    back from the mansion.


    However, she had not heard from them after that.


    She sat on the couch and began to smoke.


    "Miss Yates." As soon as she smoked the cigarette in her hand, Libby came in with an anxious look


    on his face.


    "What''s the matter?" Zoe raised her head.


    "Miss Yates, our people searched the entire mansionst night but couldn''t find the treasure. This


    morning, Hansen returned home. There is security posted in the mansion now, and Hansen has


    already ordered the closure of the entrances of the mansion. This is very serious. I''m afraid it''ll be


    very difficult for us to find the treasure." Libby blurted out in a panic.


    Zoe thought about it as the cigarette was lowered down slowly. She took one final drag of the


    cigarette before discarding it in the ashtray.


    "Have Letty and Liyae out yet?" she asked in a low voice.


    Libby shook his head. "I''m afraid they won''t be able to walk out of here alive."


    Zoe took a deep breath and fell back on the couch. If they couldn''t escape, then their crimes


    would be exposed. Would this lead to her own crimes being exposed?


    "Libby, bring our brothers with you, and let''s retreat to the Mariya Church." Her face had turned


    pale.


    Narrowing her eyes, she gave the order decisively.


    Libby was stunned and asked a little unwillingly, "Miss Yates, what about the ''Ocean Heart''?"


    Zoe''s eyelids jumped as she calmly said, "There''s no need to rush. Someone else should be


    more worried than us. Just wait and see. No matter what we do, it''s just a matter of a few days."


    Libby didn''t understand what she was trying to say but nodded regardless.


    "Miss Yates, I''m afraid that Liya is finished this time. I''m afraid that she will betray you when the time


    comes," Libby said with some worry.


    Zoe frowned and said indifferently, "It''s just a matter of one or two days. Who cares about her


    anyway? After we get the treasure, we''ll leave here immediately."


    Libby thought about it, smiled sinisterly, and went back to work.
