Chapter 921: Stay Calm After Hearing Me out
Florence was very worried. She looked down but she was too far away. She couldn’t see what was
going on in Stanford’s room.
But she couldn’t go out.
She quickly looked out and observed the surroundings. She made a swift decision and nned to
climb out of the window.
She was on the fifth floor, and it was rather high. As she climbed out a bit and looked down, her legs
felt like jelly.
She took a deep breath and told herself that nothing would happen if she was careful enough.
Right now she didn’t know what was happening, but she wasn’t going to just stay in the room and
wait.
She needed to get out.
Florence mustered her courage and stepped on the protruding part outside the window and
carefully climbed down.
After a while, she was covered in sweat and managed to reach the second floor.
She climbed through the broken window carefully and went inside.
When she got in, she stepped on a pile of debris, assumably from smashed furniture and stuff.
Stanford’s room was very messy. It looked like some kind of catastrophe just happened in here.
There was even some blood on the floor and the walls.
Florence took a deep breath. The situation seemed to be worse than she thought.
What happened to her brother?
Where was everyone else?
Florence didn’t know. She quickly ran out of the room and tried to follow the traces that were left
behind from the fight.
After walking for a while, she saw two bodyguards in the corridor.
Florence quickly yelled, “Hey, what happened here? Did you guys see my brother…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the bodyguard.
“Why is she out here? Grab her!”
The two bodyguards trotted towards Florence with fierce looks on their faces. They weren’t as
respectful and nice as usual.
Florence was taken aback. The rm went off in her head.
This wasn’t normal.
They wanted to catch her!
She didn’t have the time to ask about what was going on. Her first reaction was to turn around and
run.
The bodyguards quickly ran after her and they were yelling.
“Catch her, don’t let her get away! Otherwise, we’ll be in serious trouble!”
Florence felt numbness in her scalp and ran faster.
She rushed down the stairs from the second floor, as fast as lightning. Soon, she arrived in the
garden.
Her phone should have a signal here.
She only needed a bit of time so that she could call Ernest.
She was running out of breath, but the bodyguards were after her in hot pursuit. They were getting
closer.
Florence’s heart was beating fast, and she was terrified. She only knew that it would be bad if they
got her.
She didn’t dare to stop and just continued running. When she turned around the corner, she saw
someone familiar yonder.
It was Stanford!

She was ted and dashed towards him. But then, she noticed that there were a bunch of
bodyguards running behind Stanford as well.
They seemed to be the Turner family’s bodyguards.
They were holding weapons and was chasing Stanford ferociously.
This sent a shiver down Florence’s spine. Her assumptions were correct. It didn’t seem real, but it
was the truth.
The people from the Turner family wanted to kill Stanford!
That was why they kidnapped and isted her.
Florence was going crazy, and she was breaking out in cold sweat. What was going on?
Everything was still fine yesterday. Theodore was checking the betrothal gifts and was happy about
the marriage, wishing to have a better rtionship with the Fraser family.
What happened overnight? Why such a huge change in attitude?
The bodyguards really looked like they were trying to kill Stanford with all their might.
“Bro…”
Florence was extremely worried. She ran towards Stanford and wanted to go up to him.
No matter what happened, she would be on his side.
Not to mention that some people were chasing her right now as well.
But after running for a few steps, someone reached out a hand from the bush nearby and grabbed
her. She got yanked to the side.
Florence subconsciously tried to struggle but the person grabbed her from behind and covered her
mouth tightly with his hand.
He said in a low voice, “Ms. Fraser, you shouldn’t go there!”
The voice sounded familiar. Wasn''t it Elder Kevin?
Florence tried to say something, but the person covered her mouth even more tightly.
“Don’t make a noise, they’reing.”
After that, the bodyguards arrived near them.
They walked along the path and looked around. They said puzzledly.
“Where is she?”
“Shit, we can’t lose her. You go this way and I’ll go that way. Also, let the Third Elder know that she
ran away. He needs to arrange more people toe to search the garden.”
They then went the opposite way continuing their search.
It was under the Third Elder’s order?
Florence’s heart felt heavy. She didn’t know what was going on.
After the two bodyguards left, the person moved their hand away.
After that, he let go of Florence and took two steps backwards immediately. He tried to maintain
distance from Florence.
He bowed politely and apologized, “I’m sorry, Ms. Fraser. It was an emergency just now. I didn’t
mean to be rough with you.”
Florence looked at him properly and it was indeed Elder Kevin.
Because of him, she got away from the bodyguards.
She nodded and said, “Thank you.”
After that, she wanted to run off to look for Stanford.
He quickly stopped her and said worriedly.
“Ms. Fraser, you can’t go there.”
Florence could barely see Stanford from where she was.
He was running fast, and a bunch of people were chasing him. Soon, she wouldn’t be able to see
him and probably couldn’t run after him.
Kevin quickly exined.
“You really can’t go. Our family master has instructed the men to kill him. He should be able to run
away based on his ability. If you go there, he will have to take care of you and they might take
advantage of that. He might then lose the fight.”
Upon hearing that, Florence stood stiffly on the same spot and didn’t move.
Her face turned pale, and she was trembling uncontrobly. She couldn''t believe her ears.
Why did Theodore want to kill Stanford?
This didn''t make sense at all.
Elder Kevin looked at Florence with aplicated look on his face. He was hesitating and finally, he
said.
“Ms. Fraser, you have to stay calm after hearing me out.”
“Say it.”
Florence urged him worriedly. She nced at Stanford anxiously and saw a new group of people
coming at him from another direction.
They surrounded Stanford and he was standing in the middle of the crowd.
He didn’t have anywhere to escape.
Florence broke out in cold sweat. She really wanted to go help Stanford but because of what Kevin
said, she thought that she shouldn’t go.
Someone was also after her. If she went over to him, she would just be a burden and trouble
Stanford even more. She wouldn’t be able to rescue him and might even put him in danger.
Kevin knew that Florence was worried. He quickly gave her the exnation without any dy.
