The Woman From Hell

I did not receive any messages after spending a few days at the Yard household. I also had no idea what was happening outside now.

I lay on the bed, overcome with boredom. I played with a doll and sighed again. "Just when will I be able to get out?"

The door opened at this moment.

I quickly sat up and watched as two people entered my room. "Miss, the old master has asked us to move you into another room."

"Another room?" Why would he want to switch me to another room out of nowhere? "Why? What happened?"

"We're uncertain. We're just following orders. This way, Miss."

Both of their expressions were blank. They truly might be unaware of the reason, so I did not press any further and followed them out of the room.

This was my first step stepping out of this door after so long.

They led me to Silas' study.

There were two doors to his study, and the room inside was likely used for rest. They let me into this room.

"The old master asked you to wait here for a moment. We'll lead you back to your room later."

Wait here for a bit before leading me back?

I had just taken a step in when they closed the door behind me. "Hey, aren't you guys being too unexpected?" I leaned beside the door and heard the sound of the door closing outside. I knew then that they had left.

Why did they suddenly change my room but then said that I would only remain here for a while?

Could someone be visiting the Yards?

Could Shannon and Ty have come looking for me?

I was delighted. However, I was in another room now, not to mention it was through the second door of the study. They definitely would not be able to find me so deep inside. They could not search through the Yard household thoroughly. Bitting my finger, I fell into contemplation.

Right! My phone!

Fortunately, I brought my phone with me when I came out. Silas had been hasty in moving me. Perhaps there was a signal here.

I fished out my phone. However, there was no signal as usual.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Could there be a signal jammer here too?

I walked to the window. The sun outside looked really bright, but the window could not be opened at all.

I lowered my head, and my eyes shone. There was a weak signal now.

It was not that the signal was blocked off but that it was weak because of how deep inside I was.

Thinking this, I looked at the other windows. Apart from this one that had shutters, there was another large window.

I ran in front of that large window

and pulled up the roller blinds. While

the signal was still weak, it was usable. I opened up a webpage first to see if anything had happened outside the past few days. However, the network was really weak. The page would not load completely even after I refreshed it a few times.

Forget it, then. I should get in touch with others first.

The moment I logged out of the webpage, messages popped up on my phone one by one. They were all messages from Shannon and Tyler, asking about me. Even Marius sent me several messages. His last one caught my attention: [Found out you're at the Yards' mansion. Will find a way to get you out in a few days.]

They actually found me!

The last message from Shannon read: [We'll bring people over to the Yard household to look for you today].

Silas was in a hurry to move me because he did not want them to find me.

[I'm in a small room in Silas' study.]

I hit send after typing out the message, but the icon kept spinning. "Send, please send!"

Why did things always happen at the most critical moment? They had to wait for my message. Could they already have left by now?

I turned the handle of the window,

but it

y opened a little. I tried met
