Chapter 897 Unaware Of Danger Behind
As a result, Emmeline was not alone when she slept at night.
She and Josie were sleeping in the same room while the other four men were guarding outside.
Looking at such a guarding line-up, Emmeline could only smile bitterly.
She wouldn't be able to escape even if she were a God!
Letting out a soft sigh, she then closed her eyes and rested without much thought.
The countryside was always quietest at night. Except for the occasional bug chirp, there was almost no sound.
Soon, the sound of Josie's breathing came.
Through the door, she could still hear the men's earth-shattering snores outside.
Emmeline was exhausted, but she didn't know why she couldn't fall asleep.
She suddenly thought of something.
When she previously escaped from the villa, it was Grayclouds that escorted her away.
However, when she woke up in the truck, all she saw was Josie, not Grayclouds.
Where did he go?
Although Emmeline was terrified of him and was convinced that he had bad intentions, she had fought with him several times previously and was therefore familiar with him. With him, there was a better chance of breaking through.
As she pondered upon this, she could not help but frown.
Just then, there was a very light sound of weird sound outside the window opposite her.
Emmeline was taken aback and turned to gaze out the window, only to notice a black shadow flashing over there.
Abruptly, her facial expression shifted.
She then turned to face Josie, who was soundly asleep beside her. She paid no attention to what was going on outside the room.
Her heart couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
Of course, she hoped it was one of Jara's men outside. But what if he wasn't?
Forget it. It was better than staying in the hands of this group of people.
With this thought in mind, she did not notify them.
And just then, a very mild smell floated in through the crack in the door.
She frowned and thought that the smell was odd. And as she came to her senses, she widened her eyes.
F*ck. It was sleeping gas!
The person was not Jara's man!
Emmeline, on the other hand, had already inhaled a lot of smells at this point. It was too late for her to react at this time.
Josie, who was next to her, collapsed to the ground, accompanied by a series of thuds from the outside.
Hoping to hang on just a little bit longer, she clenched her teeth and held her breath.
However, she couldn't stand the strong effect of the gas. She rolled her eyes and passed out as well.
When she awoke again, she discovered she was in a weird room.
There were four bare walls covered with a metallic luster. In the big room, there was nothing but a harsh iron bed.
Emmeline was lying on the iron bed. Her eyes were covered, and she could not see a thing. However, she could see a faint white light swinging over her head, perhaps because the material covering her eyes wasn't thick enough.
"Where am I?"
She thought in a daze.
Then, she lifted her arm slightly, and there was a clattering sound of iron chains swinging.
Emmeline's heart tightened.
With another slight movement, she was certain that two long chains held her arms and legs to the iron bed.
Immediately, she felt a chill run down her spine.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of boots stepping on the ground.
Her heart clenched, and she asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"
No one responded.
All she could hear were the footsteps approaching closer and closer. Then she felt a stinging pain in her neck.
She had no idea what kind of drug had been infused into her body. Her entire body stiffened, and she lost consciousness the following second.
......
At the castle.
It was already three days since Jara's return.
Uncle Poick noticed the car driving into the castle and wanted to go up and ask about Emmeline's whereabouts.
However, when he saw Jara's expression, he immediately grasped what was going on. Hence, he did not ask any questions.
He approached Jara and said, "Mr. Mills is here. He said that he has something to discuss with you. He's in the living room."
"Got it."
Jara said in a gloomy voice as he turned around and walked into the living room.
Inside, Isaac's heart was burning with anxiety.
He was already aware of Emmeline's missing, and he came here to ask about it.
As soon as he saw Jara coming in, he immediately sprang up from his seat. "Jara, how is it? Is there any news?"
Jara's face was as dark as a sweep.
He came over, no longer the gentleman he once was. He took the cup on the table and sipped some water before saying, "No."
"How can it be?"
Isaac was shocked.
Then, Jara's face turned sullen as he continued, "I know who kidnapped her."
Hearing that, Isaac got stunned.
"What do you mean? So you know who took her away?"
Jara nodded.
"Who is it?"
However, Jara did not reply.
Instead, he looked up at Isaac and frowned slightly. "What are you doing here?"
His words infuriated Isaac. "What else is there? I heard that something had happened to Emmeline, so I came here to investigate. Although our family is not involved in your affairs, she is my friend. I can't just turn a blind eye to it, can I?"
Jara's lips curved up viciously, and his deep and dark eyes were gloomy.
"It's none of your business. You don't have to worry about it, and don't get involved."
He knew Samej did not want Isaac to get too close to him to avoid getting Isaac implicated. Although he disdained to deal with Samej, Isaac was his friend after all. At this point, if the other party refuses to let go of Emmeline, there will undoubtedly be a disastrous encounter. He did not want to drag Isaac, an innocent businessman, into the mire.
How could Isaac possibly be unaware of what Jara was thinking?
Hearing that, he got even pissed.
"Jara, I was wondering why you're so fussy now. I came here today to ask for some news. Of course, if there's anything I can do for you, it's my duty to help you."
"If I can't help you, I will not be a burden to you. I only want to know the truth. Can I?"
Jara looked at him again.
This time, he didn't hide it anymore.
"It's the Icarus Association," he said in a low voice.
Isaac's body shook violently.
Even though he was not in the industry, he had heard of the Icarus Association.
He knew that the organization was larger and more complex than Lost Vanguard.
If they really kidnapped Emmeline...
He felt a chill in his chest, and his face turned sulky in an instant.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Jara replied solemnly, "I have my own method of doing things. You are not allowed to intervene. Do not come over here during this time."
