Chapter 793
Morgan shrugged helplessly. "I''m sorry, Miss Jacob. It''s not that I don''t allow you to leave, but it''s
Mister''s order. He wants you to stay here until you recover."
"I''m fine, and the bruise on my face is less swollen now." Although ine was angry, she did not
want to vent her wrath at Morgan, so she insisted politely, "Please tell the bodyguards to make way
and let me go."
Every time she walked to the door, the two statuelike bodyguards would hold her arm and
"escorted" her back.
She was going berserk because of them.
Instead, Morgan shook his head. "They only listen to Mr. Bradbury''s order."
ine pursed her lips in annoyance.
"Why don''t you have breakfast first? When Misteres back after he is done with his business,
you can ask him to let you go."
Frowning, she asked, "Where did he go?"
"I don''t know."
"Isn''t he in the vi?"
Morgan''s eyes lit up cautiously, but he said, "He''s
not here."
Dejected, ine sat on the sofa and waited.
Morgan kept on persuading her to eat something, but she sat quietly in a daze as if she couldn''t
hear anything.
Seeing her state, Morgan stopped persuading her knowing that she wouldn''t listen.
As he was about to leave, ine suddenly asked, "Morgan, why did he pretend to be Dr. Perkins?"
They looked exactly alike but their temperament was absolutely different. She had once suspected
that they were two different people, but she never thought that someone would disguise himself as
Dr. Perkins.
She was so slow.
Looking up at Morgan, she demanded, "Why did he lie to me? Does he want something from me?
But I''m just a lowly maid. What does he want from me?"
She waspletely perplexed.
With a polite smile, Morgan said, "He has everything he wants, so he doesn''t want anything from
you."
ine''s lips twitching, she looked down and didn''t say anything.
Morgan continued, "Do you want to know Mr.
Bradbury''s name?"
His remark made ine astounded...
Vincent...
It was obviosuly his name, but he lied to her saying that it wasn''t. She med herself for being
deceived like a fool.
As the agitation slowly raised inside her, she shook her head and roared, "No! Don''t tell me his
name! I don''t want to know!"
Her reaction made Morgan flustered, realizing that she was quite hot-tempered.
"Mr. Bradbury, it''s every man for himself," he thought.
Before he left, he blurted, "Vincent. His name is Vincent Bradbury. If you want to know when he''ll be
back, you can ask me."
ine had waited for nearly an hour, but Vincent was not home yet.
In fact, her stomach started growling.
The maid put the fruit on the table and left silently.
Seeing this, ine knew that it must be Morgan''s order.
She tried to ignore it by turning her face away, but the sweet aroma of the fruits captivated her, and
she couldn''t resist the temptation.
No! She would not eat it!
With that in mind, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her urge.
Seeing the scene, Morgan chuckled and shook his head. "She is so stubborn. I''m starting to admire
her."
Out of sight, out of mind. ine realized that she wasn''t that hungry anymore when she didn''t look
at the fruits.
After another half an hour, he didn''te back yet.
She gave up waiting.
Her eyes darting around as something crossed her mind, she turned to one of the maids and asked,
"May I know where is my phone? Did you put it away when you were doing myundry?"
When they returned her clothes to her, she checked everywhere but could not find her phone.
She wouldn''t mind it missing since it was a present from Vincent, but she needed to use one right
now, so she wanted to look for it.
The maid shook her head. "I don''t know. Do you want to use the phone now?"
"Yes." She looked at her with anticipation. "Do you have a cell phone with you now? Please lend it
to
me. I want to make a call."
ine said sweetly as she had a favor to ask.
"Why don''t you use thendline?" The maid pointed to the telephone at the corner of the hall and
said, "You can make a call with that phone too."
After expressing her thanks, she got up and walked toward the telephone.
Suddenly, Morgan appeared out of nowhere. "Miss Jacob, do you want to use the phone?"
She extended her arm towards the phone with a nonchnt hum.
However, Morgan held the phone down with a smile. "What do you need the phone for? We have
everything here. Why don''t you wait for Mr. Bradbury toe home?"
Skeptically, ine blurted, "Morgan, did you take my phone?"
No wonder he didn''t allow her to use the phone.
Surprised by her quick thinking, Morgan said with a t but polite tone, "No, I didn''t. After what
happenedst night, maybe you dropped your phone by ident."
ine could tell that he was lying. "Why don''t you let me make a call then?" "It''s none of your
business." "I''m sorry then. I can''t let you use the phone. Mr. Bradbury will not be happy if he knows."
"Who do you want to call?"
Annoyed, ine roared, "But why? I just want to call my parents to tell them that I''m fine. And my
brother. You''ve met him. I haven''t seen him sincest night, so I want to know how he is now!"
Yesterday, she fainted due to the extreme shock, and she was already in this vi when she woke
up, so she didn''t know where and how was Paul now.
That bald man died in that room. If Paul saw the body, he would be scared out of his wits!
Besides, Paul would probably be anxious since she had disappeared all of a sudden and he didn''t
know where she was.
Thinking of this, ine said with a serious tone, "Please, I just want to call my brother to tell him I''m
fine. Please let me use the phone."
However, Morgan shook his head. "No one will answer the phone, and don''t worry, your brother is
fine."
"What do you mean that no one will answer the phone?" ine demanded, confused. "How did you
know that he is fine?"
Morgan pursed his lips instead.

Anxious, ine asked again, "What happened to Paul?"
Morgan sighed. "I don''t know. Please just wait for Mr. Bradbury toe back."
Suddenly, something shed across ine''s mind that she grabbed Morgan''s arm and badgered,
"Is Paul with Vincent now?"
Coming to think of it, it made sense that he had Paul since he came for her yesterday.
Sure enough, Morgan nodded. "Yes, Miss Jacob. Mr. Bradbury brought your brother backst
night."
With a sigh of relief, she urged, "Please take me to see him. He must be worried sick since he didn''t
see me all night."
Paul must be equally shocked and frightened after what happenedst night.
However, Morgan nced at her and said, "He didn''t stop the person who kidnapped youst night.
Why are you still worried about him?"
