Chapter 1416
"Lara is very cautious." Maria lowered his thick black eyelashes. "She won't tell anyone about her personal affairs. Although I often follow her as her escort dart, she doesn't allow me to go with her when she went to the experiment. Also, she didn't ask me to follow her the last time she went out to see Nangong Yen."
As for everything else, like the cooperation between Simon and her and the fact that she stopped the pain-inducing medicine for the fake princess in the palace, she'll talk to me about it."
"How much do you know about the fake princess in the palace?"
"I only know that Lara sent people to Country to save the fake princess and changed her appearance with a doctor." Maria said, "After that, she asked me to take the fake princess to a horse farm and change the real princess."
"So, you are not the one who killed the original princess or sent away the original princess of Ruidan?" Shawn asked.
"No. Lara had someone else do it."
"Is the real Princess Sara dead or not?"
"I didn't see it." Maria said, "At that time, I was waiting outside the horse farm with the fake princess. When Lara called me, I sent the fake princess with my car. When I went in, the original princess was no longer there..."
Shawn took two steps forward and raised his eyebrows. "In other words, Lara is asking the others to deal with the real princess, Sara."
Shawn immediately asked, "Did Lara mention Princess Sara's life after that?"
Maria thought for a moment. "No, I didn't."
"In that case, other than Lara, perhaps no one else knows about it." Shawn said.
"Unfortunately, if the real Princess Sara was still alive, then that would be the most ideal. As long as the real Princess Sara appeared, then the current Queen would no longer be defending Nangong."
Satisfied thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if Butler Stephen can think of where the first laboratory of Lara is tomorrow. If there is a place, we should go to search for her other laboratory tomorrow. Don't let go of any clues now."
" Shawn nodded. "However, Mitchell, go and ask the butler later. I always feel that it's not that he can't think of it, but that there's something else."
Mitchell was stunned and immediately replied, "Okay!"
Shawn then asked about Maria's situation with Lara. "Didn't Lara suspect your identity at the beginning? Didn't she call Nangong Yen to confirm your identity?"
He wanted to make sure if Maria had aroused Lara's suspicions, and then purposefully hide something from Maria!
"I don't think so. Two years ago, Nangong Yen was still in Xavier. At that time, I heard that Nangong Yen was devoted to Princess Xavier." Maria said, "At that time, Lara called Nangong Yen several times, but it was very difficult for Lara to get in touch with Nangong Yen who was not in Italy..."
"Really?" Lara touched his chin. "In this case, fortunately, Lara only wanted Nangong Yen. When the two of them communicate with you, their identities may be exposed soon."
"Yes." Maria lowered his head. "Fortunately, the sister, who's serving Nangong Yen, is already dead in Africa. Many countries in Africa are in chaos and there's no record of her death. Thus, Lara made a phone call to ask for evidence, but there's no evidence of her death."
Just as Aman and Chloe were kissing so deeply, Eathen called.
Chloe pushed Aman and said, "Let's talk about it tonight... I'll answer the phone first."
Aman looked at the name of the call on his phone and said unhappily, "Must I answer it now?"
"After they came to Ruidan this time, I haven't contacted them yet." Chloe took the phone from his hand. "Maybe they knew that I had been kidnapped in the past few days and were worried about me."
"No, Samuel knows about it, but Eathen doesn't." Aman let go of her and stood up. "They and other criminal police officers are searching for Nangong Yen.
You can pick him up first. I'll go ask Shawn and the others about it."
It was rare for Aman to be magnanimous. When he thought that Shawn and the others should have returned, he asked Chloe to answer the call and leave himself.
Chloe blinked her eyes. Shawn knew that she had been kidnapped, but why didn't Eathen know?
Chloe hung up the phone with a smile on her face. "Hello?"
"Big sis!"
"Eathen." Chloe said gently, "I heard that you and Samuel came to Ruidan, didn't you? Last time when I saw the news that Nangong Yen escaped, I was still worried. I was afraid that you and Samuel were on the plane..."
"We're fine." Eathen immediately said, "Last time on the phone, I didn't have time to talk to you. Nangong Yen came to Ruidan, but that man didn't come to you again, did he?"
"No." Chloe said. "During this period of time, I've been in the Pochiphus clan or the Ruidan Imperial Palace. How could that man possibly find me? It's just...I've been a bit busy with social interactions these past few days. I haven't had the time to call you."
Since Eathen did not know that she had been kidnapped in the past few days, she thought that it would be better not to mention it. Otherwise, Eathen would be worried and would rush over to argue with Aman.
"Really? It's good that my sister is fine."
Hearing Chloe's calm voice, Eathen finally calmed down from his anxiousness and restored his usual light and heavy tone. "I have been worried about you these days. I was going to search Nangong Yen’s whereabouts here, but Samuel didn't let me call my sister and said that I wouldn't disturb you."
"..." The corner of Chloe's mouth twitched.
"No, I won't. Samuel is too polite."
"But it's really a great help!"
If Samuel had not kept her in the dark, Eathen would have rushed over to look for her. Then, she would have disappeared...
Thinking about how Eathen might have clashed with Aman, Chloe broke out in a cold sweat.
"I think he's thinking too much!" Eathen was a little angry and said, "If you don't let me call you, I'll doubt if anything happened to my sister. He deliberately stopped me from calling you."
"..." Chloe continued to sweat.
"It's good that you're fine, sister." Eathen's voice softened again. "Please don't forget about a little thing, sister."
"What's that?"
"Sister, if you are in trouble, just contact me." Eathen paused for a moment. "I will definitely come to you."
Chloe was both distressed and moved. She didn't know how to thank Eathen for his kindness. When the words came to her lips, there were only two words left, "... Thank you."
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
On the other side of the phone, Eathen pursed his lips and slowly lowered his head. He really wanted to say that he wanted to go to see Chloe... but he was afraid that he would make trouble for Chloe, so he couldn't say it out loud.
Finally, Chloe felt a little embarrassed about the silence. She smiled and said, "When the matter of Ruidan Imperial Palace is over, if you and Samuel are still in Ruidan, why don't we have a meal together? Is it true that this time we all have Ruidan here?"
When the Marquess returned to the castle that night and heard that Elsa had not gone to King Island to seek an audience with the Queen, she was naturally very upset. However, he could only bear with it when he saw that Elsa was ill.
Looking at the Marquess's dark expression, lying on the bed, Alex pretended to be strong and got up. "Since Father is in such a hurry, I can't say anything even if I lie here. I think I'd better go there now, cough."
Seeing that he was coughing again, the Marquess could not bear to make things difficult for him. She frowned and said, "Lie down, what time is it now? We're still rushing to Island, isn't that interrupting His Majesty's rest?"
"But Father..." Alex looked very weak, but he still went along with the flow and leaned down.
