Chapter 1086: Chapter 1089: Saw a Woman

Selina paused in her steps. “Elias Hale, I’m not that kind anymore, and I’m not as gentle as I used to be. It’s not like after everything Hannah did to me I’d just bear it all without complaints and never hate her. I can tell you now, I hate Hannah. I hate that she ruined everything I had!”

Selina walked farther away, but Elias Hale was still standing where he was, not moving.

I’m sorry, Selina, I’m sorry, this is all my fault.

Melody Thorne returned to the Quinn Family home. Jared Quinn was afraid she’d sleep restlessly at night, so he brought her a glass of milk, with a bit of something to calm her nerves added in.

After Melody Thorne finished drinking, she soon fell asleep, and Jared Quinn went into the study.

What he’d just told Melody Thorne was half true and half false. With Jenson Ona’s connections in the underworld, he could find out very quickly; it definitely didn’t need an entire night.

“Master?”

“It’s me.”

“Mas…” Mom.

The word “Mom” didn’t come out. Jenson Ona immediately corrected himself. “Young Master Jared.”

“Have you found it?”

“I’ve already checked. They did kidnap someone over there, but they covered it up pretty well. Security’s been strict with people going in and out lately. In the middle of the night like this, I can’t get in either. Help me tell my master that once I can get in tomorrow, I’ll definitely go in and take a look.”

“Keep digging. Best if you can have results before tomorrow morning.”

“Got it.”

Jared Quinn hung up the phone and went back to the bedroom, carefully pulling the already-asleep Melody Thorne into his arms. In his ears echoed what she’d said today in the office.

One of my friends just got poisoned. I’m worried about her.

…

Early in the morning, Melody Thorne woke up very early and asked about her dad the moment she opened her eyes.

“Jenson found something, but he needs to go there in person to confirm. There’s no word from inside about exactly who they grabbed.”

“I’m going with you.”

“Did you forget what Elias Hale said last night? Just stay home and wait in peace.”

“But you clearly know that making me wait at home feels worse than killing me. I just can’t sit still. How about we do it like last time? I’ll dress up as a guy and go in with you, okay? I promise I’ll be good and won’t say a word.”

Jared Quinn glanced at her, especially at the look on her face right now, and his heart softened a little. “Come down for breakfast first.”

“So that’s a yes?” Melody Thorne immediately got off the big bed and threw on a set of clothes at random.

When Melody Thorne went downstairs, Leon Rivers and Chloe Summers had also arrived. After hearing her plan, Chloe Summers insisted on tagging along too. Helpless, Jared Quinn had someone prepare two sets of men’s clothes and called a makeup artist to do their makeup.

To cover for the two of them, Jared Quinn brought several bodyguards along as well.

Melody Thorne and Chloe Summers walked at the very back.

They needed to take a boat to get to the Knight Palace Gate, which was at Ardenia’s border. Using the fastest route, it took them two hours to arrive. It was completely different from the kind of gang stronghold Melody Thorne had imagined; everything was modern European-style buildings. She’d thought it would be something like a cave or something.

“Who are you looking for?” The people at the door stopped them.

“Jared Quinn and Leon Rivers are here to take a look. Go tell Young Master Night inside.”

Usually, only those with power and status could come here. Ordinary people definitely wouldn’t be able to see anyone.

“Young Master Jared, Young Master Leon, please come in. Our Young Master Night is inside. I’ll take you to him.”

Jared Quinn swept a glance at Melody Thorne behind him and then followed those people in.

Once inside the main hall, Melody Thorne’s sharp eyes immediately spotted a man sitting on a European-style sofa. The man was wearing a flashy bright red suit. At first glance, she would have thought she was looking at a woman. His skin was also very white, white like snow.
