Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 93. Entering the Trap

Lisle got into the car whose door Bert had opened from the inside. Once inside, Lisle had not finished putting on her seat belt, the car had been driven away from the place.

Trying to calm down, Lisle turned to Bert who was driving. It was only a few months that they had not met, since the events in Glassville, that Bert's appearance had considerably changed. The young man trimmed his hair with the latest model and the clothes he was wearing also looked expensive. While the car he was driving, out of nowhere Bert got it.

"You look different" Lisle said honestly. Then look straight at the road.

Bert drove at a moderate speed because he did not want to attract attention. He ignored Lisle's comments about his appearance. "Where's your phone?" Next to his hand.

"Eh?" Lisle looked at Bert in confusion.

"Your phone. Give me?" press Bert. 

"Make what?"  

"Are you stupid? They can track where we are." Bert explained impatiently. 

Lisle pulled out her phone from inside the bag. He had just pulled the flat object out but Bert had already hurriedly snatched it away. "Hey!"

Bert opens the window and throws Lisle's phone into the rear tub of a car driving next to them. In a corner he turns the wheel and turns. 

Lisle's eyes widened to see what Bert was doing on his phone. "What are you doing with my phone?"

"It's gonna outwit them." Bert said relax. He now turned to a luxury apartment, parked the car and got out.

Lisle followed Bert out of the car. He half-runningly followed his cousin's quick steps towards an elevator. 

Inside the elevator, Lisle could no longer hold back her curiosity. "Do you and your aunt live here?" 

"No. I'm just staying here for a while. I'm in Efron's town."

The elevator doors closed after they were inside. Bert pressed a number and the elevator moved up.

"I think your mother's here too. Then why are we here?" Lisle doesn't understand why Bert took her to this apartment. 

"You'll know later." Bert said meaningfully.

Lisle clasped the bag strap that was draped on her shoulder tightly. Instantly his feelings were uncomfortable. 

A few minutes later the elevator stopped. The door opened and Lisle stared out. They were on the roof of the apartment building. The girl covered her eyes with palms dispelling the glare of the sun. A helicopter that had already lit its engine and made a rumbling sound was in front of them.

Lisle turned to Bert for an explanation. But the man ignored the gaze and pulled at Lisle's arm.

"Come on!" bert said as he stepped closer to the aerial vehicle. 

"Where are we going?" Lisle tried to let go of her hand that was gripped by Bert.

"Ephron. Where else? Don't we want to see my mom?" Bert looked irritated because Lisle was rebelling.

"It's very far away." Lisle tried to protest.

Black Mountain's. Barnes Store. 

After waiting for almost an hour, William was startled by a phone call from Steve, his master's assistant. 

"Where are you?" ask Steve.

"I'm still in front of Barnes' shop waiting for the madam to shop." William tells. He was very sleepy as he just sat leaning behind the wheel doing nothing.

"Back now to Palm Garden. Young mistress disappeared!" Steve told Mr. Kent's orders. 

A few minutes ago, the person assigned to watch over his master's wife reported in a panic that the girl had disappeared.

Lisle did not come out of the fitting room where she had previously entered while carrying some clothes hanging on the hanger. After waiting for more than half an hour, Jill who was a chosen warrior on XXX island, checked the fitting room. He only found another person there who then cursed him for having defiantly flicked the curtain as the person changed clothes.

Jill asked some servants. But no one claimed to see the young mistress as they were also busy serving some of the other visitors. The man then checked around and found a small door leading to the hallway. Then the exit at the other end explains why the madam disappeared.

Jill curses loudly while slamming the innocent door and then takes the phone from behind her jacket. He had no idea what kind of fate awaited him after he reported the incident to Mr. Kent.

Meanwhile, William who heard Steve's notice was flabbergasted. How could? thought. How could the young mistress disappear? Didn't Mr. Kent have trained men to watch. Why are they so late?

But based on his observations today, the young mistress looked uneasy. And the choice of his mistress to come to this store also made him protest. The wife of the richest man in Black Mountain shopping in Barnes, who could believe it? Although the madam's reason sounded quite reasonable, but now that William understood one thing, the mistress herself planned his departure.

Shaking confusedly, William turned on the car engine, turning the steering wheel out of the parking lot. He could not understand why his master's wife was always causing trouble. At this moment it must be that Mr. Kent is in a great rage. I don't know if you'll blame him, too. William can only resign and drive to Palm Garden. 

*** 

When Kennard received a call from Jill in her spacious office, she was on the arrival of a guest. David visited him in broad daylight to make Kennard knit his eyebrows. His best friend admitted to missing Lisle while putting on a serious face. Even though Kennard knew his best friend was joking, he became upset as well.  

Someone misses his wife. If someone else had said that, it was certain that he would not have survived. 

David just laughed looking at the cold face behind the table. He sat down on a sofa at will even though Kennard didn't tell him to sit down. When the secretary came in to deliver a document to be signed, David ordered a cup of coffee.

"I happened to pass by and thought it wouldn't hurt to stop by. I happen to have information too. It might be important to you." David started talking. This time he looked really serious.

Kennard seemed uninterested. The man sorted out some documents and checked.

David was commonly ignored by Kennard.

"My people overseas found traces of Zion. Not intentional. But while investigating something, he instead finds data pointing to a foreign name with a familiar face. Then when the trail was followed, guess what he found?"

Kennard stopped his movements and raised his face. This time David managed to disturb his calm.

Zion's name is like a wound that never stops flowing blood. In the past, Kennard had ensured that man and his entire family were wiped out as Zion killed his family. He even ordered his men to burn down the mansion. But somehow, Zion who had been seriously injured could escape death.
