Chapter 360


    Chapter 360 Return to Damoria


    Due to the sleeping pill’s strong effects, it wasn’t untilte morning the next day that Elspeth awakened.


    The moment she got out of bed, she recalled that Isabel didn’t ask her for the ointment. As such, she


    took it out from a drawer and headed to Isabel’s room.


    After knocking on the door for a while, she realized no one respond to her.


    Isabel isn’t in her room, and there is no noise from downstairs. After giving it some thought, she


    decided to go to Helena’s room.


    However, she received no response from Helena either as she knocked on the door.


    Realizing that something was off, she opened the door and saw that the room was empty, as though no


    one had ever stayed there before.


    In an instant, she panicked.


    Then, she dashed toward Isabel’s room and forcefully opened the door, only to see another empty


    room.


    Did they disappear overnight?


    Arthur had left for work pretty early on. He hadn’t been concerned with what was going on at home


    recently. When he received Elspeth’s call, he was in the midst of a meeting.


    “Where are my mom and Isabel?”


    Elspeth directly cut to the chase.


    “I’m in the middle of a meeting, so don’t bother me for now. Where else could they go? They’re


    probably in a mall or something.”


    Arthur felt that Elspeth was being dramatic. Someone urged him to exin the proposal just then, so


    he directly hung up the call.


    However, Elspeth felt that things were moreplicated than they seemed.


    After the call ended, she could only wait at home patiently.


    Perhaps Arthur is right. They’re just walking around in a mall or something. I should wait for their return.


    However, they were still nowhere in sight in the afternoon.


    Only then did Elspeth realize the severity of the matter. She quickly asked someone to look for them.


    Nheless, since she was in a foreign country, it was difficult for her to do so. A long timeter, she


    still hadn’t found them.


    She tried to recall what had happened in the past few days, but she still couldn’t think of any reasons


    that prompted them to leave.


    Nevertheless, as she thought about what happened the day before, an idea formed in her mind.


    Arthur has probably taken them away to force me to marry him.


    At the thought of this, she hailed a cab and headed to hispany.


    Arthur was dealing with some documents when she arrived. Seeing how she was furiously questioning


    him, he was startled.


    He had seen Elspeth getting mad, but it was his first time seeing the woman losing control.


    “What happened?”


    “Where are you hiding my mom and Isabel?”


    Arthurughed in exasperation. “Why would I hide them?”


    “Stop pretending. Apart from you, who else would take them away?” Elspeth sneered. “You’re doing


    this to force me to marry you.”


    “Am I such a despicable person in your eyes?” The smile on Arthur’s face disappeared as he put on a


    gloomy expression.


    His gaze was dark and inscrutable. His figure seemed to be giving off a cold vibe.


    Elspeth was stunned. Although Arthur had a reason to do such a thing, it was unnecessary for him to


    do so.


    If he wanted to force Elspeth to do anything, he just had to threaten her by not treating her mother.


    Suddenly, Elspeth thought of something else.


    The image of Isabel looking uneasy when Elspeth bumped into her the day before sprang into her


    mind.


    I was arguing with Arthurst night. Perhaps Isabel passed by and overheard our conversation, so she


    told my mom about it.


    When she realized what might have happened, her heart sank as she felt even more sorrowful.


    In that case, she’ll do everything in her power to make sure I won’t find her.


    Elspeth had almost forgotten that Helena was a youngdy from the Joneson Family. She had many


    ways to make sure Elspeth wouldn’t find her.


    After all, she had managed to remain hidden from Elspeth for the past 20 years.


    “The most important thing now is that they’ve gone missing, right?”


    Elspeth nodded, trying to calm herself down.


    “I’ll get some people to look for them immediately.”


    Arthur was in a terrible mood as well. If those two people were gone, he was no longer able to threaten


    Elspeth.


    It felt awful to lose control of the situation.


    “There’s no need for that. I’ll look for them myself.”


    Elspeth drew a deep breath. She understood Helena well, so she knew that thetter must have gone


    back to Damoria.


    Helena was determined to die, so she wouldn’t let her corpse stay in a foreign country.


    “How are you going to look for them?” Arthur sneered. “You don’t know this country as well as I do.”


    Elspeth shot him an impassive nce. “What said I’m staying here?”


    A premonition formed in Arthur’s mind. “Are you saying that you’re returning to Damoria?”


    Elspeth snorted and looked condescendingly at him.


    “You have no way to threaten me now. Wherever I want to go, it has nothing to do with you.”


    Arthur had already expected this oue. He wasn’t flustered, nor was he displeased. Instead, he only


    gaped at her with a smile.


    “Sure. I’ll go back with you.”


    Elspeth felt that the man before her eyes was mad. Although he hadn’t done anything crazy yet, his


    bloodthirsty gaze terrified her. As such, she turned around and left.


    She had to stay away from this man, for it was difficult to deal with him.


    “Elspeth,” Arthur called out lightly from behind. “See you in Damoria.”


    …


    Elspeth arrived at the airport in Damoria the next day.


    Her winter clothes were out of cepared to others at the airport since it was summer in Damoria.


    d in a face mask and sunsses, she looked vigntly at the people around her.


    Although she had been in a foreign country for a long time, she had never forgotten that she was


    regarded as a dead person in Damoria.


    If anyone saw her alive, they would be frightened.


    She looked around for the familiar car te. When she registered the ck Maybach’s presence in the


    distance, she strode forward.


    After opening the door, she entered the car and took off her down jacket.


    “I’m melting. I didn’t know it was summer in Damoria.”


    When Elspeth saw the clothes fit for summer in the vehicle, she thought that Harper was such a


    considerate guy.


    Seeing that, Harper lowered the windows and left the car.


    Elspeth quickly got changed and told Harper to get in.


    She hadn’t seen Harper for two months, so she was surprised to see him looking more sedate than he


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    used to. Perhaps many things had happened recently.


    “How have you been?”


    Harper forced a smile. “I’m fine.”


    In the past, he would’ve started teasing Elspeth in such a situation. She instantly realized the severity


    of the matter.


    “Has anything happened to thepany?”


    Before she left, she had entrusted Harper to deal with thepany’s affairs. Has something serious


    happened?


    Faced with the question, Harper could no longer conceal his uneasiness.


    “Miss Lynwood…” Harper hung his head low and sounded guilty. “Thepany is facing a huge


    problem.”
