Chapter 457: Tomorrow, the six of us are running away from home
In the instant that Blake, Maria, and the other twelve intruders burst in, the bodyguards quickly assembled with unmatched speed, each one glaring fiercely like tigers.
The three security guards by the entrance followed suit at the fastest possible speed. One of them, wearing a grim expression, said, "Mr. Ashford, they forced their way in. There are too many of them, we couldn't stop them!"
Alexander waved his hand and walked towards Blake with a frosty expression. "What is the meaning of this? Why did you bring your brother's wife to trespass into my residence?"
Upon hearing this, Maria became flustered. Strictly speaking, they did indeed trespass into someone's residence.
Blake and his nine brothers, however, knew nothing about the law and stood their ground without flinching.
Ethan approached, offering a friendly reminder. "According to the ancient European criminal law, those who illegally invade someone's residence can be sentenced to up to five years in prison or detention. Do you all want to spend some time behind bars?"
Maria hurriedly said, "No, no, we just missed the children. We came to see them and then we'll leave."
At this moment, the six young girls were playing with origami on the carpet in the center of the living room.
Eldie folded a paper airplane and handed it to Maria.
"Maria, this airplane is for you. Don't worry about us. We six are doing fine. We just can't contact mommy. Please take good care of her for us outside."
Suddenly, Maria felt that there must be a secret left by the children within the paper airplane.
Just as she was about to take the paper airplane, Alexander abruptly snatched it away and tore it to shreds. With an icy gaze, he declared, "This belongs to the Ashford family. No property of the Ashford family can be given away without my permission!"
"You're too overbearing, I hate you!" Eldie cried, tears streaming down her face.
She had indeed wanted to convey the secret that the six of them were planning to run away from home tomorrow through the paper airplane.
While feeling indignant, she suddenly remembered what Owen had said.
-"Your father once placed his hand on my chest and used the Magic Pearl's energy to learn about all my past experiences, including everything I know."
So, placing one's hand on someone's chest could facilitate conscious communication?
"Maria, I want a hug, sob...sob..." Eldie cried and acted spoiled towards Maria.
"Alright, alright, Maria will hug you." Maria lovingly picked up Eldie.
At that moment, Eldie placed her little hand on Maria's chest and said in her mind, "Maria, can you hear my thoughts?"
Maria looked at Eldie in disbelief. What had just happened?
Did she actually hear Eldie's thoughts?
Could it be the magical ability bestowed by the Magic Pearl?
She replied in her mind, "Yes, I can."
Eldie continued in her mind, "Maria, the six of us are planning to run away from home tomorrow and go to country M to find mommy. Do you want to come with us?"
Mari
a: Are you six running away from home? The Ashford family's bodyguards are so strict, can you really escape? If you can really go, I will definitely go to M country with you!
Eldie: Alright, it's settled then. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, we will meet at the "Thousand Lives, Thousand Worlds" hotel next to the airport. Do not disclose this information to anyone, including the uncles. After all, if they go out, there will be nine of them, which is too conspicuous.
Maria: Meet at the airport tomorrow night at 8 o'clock? Can you six really do it?
Eldie: Don't worry, we will definitely be able to! We are not three or four years old with low intelligence anymore.
Maria: Okay, I believe you. Tomorrow night, meet at the "Thousand Lives, Thousand Worlds" hotel next to the airport.
Although Eldie and Maria communicated through telepathy, on the surface, Eldie kept shedding tears while Maria helped wipe them, and no one noticed anything unusual.
After crying for a while, Eldie pretended to console Maria and said, "Maria, Dad is the head of the Ashford family conglomerate. He has great power and can cover up anything. It won't be good for you to confront Dad. After all, he is our real father and won't harm us. You and the uncles don't need to worry about us, just take care of Mommy for us!"
