Chapter 246: Jennie Escapes From Non-stop Danger
The person who answered the phone was not Jisoo; it was a lady. “Hello, I’m Dr. Kim’ assistant. Dr. Kim is currently treating a patient who had a sudden heart attack and is in the operating room. If you have any…”
Rosé put down the phone.
There seemed to be no chemistry between her and Jisoo.
In fact, she did not blame Jisoo.
As a doctor, Jisoo should save patients.
He was different from others. He had a sense of responsibility, so it was impossible for him to be on call for her.
Besides...
That was not the kind of relationship they had.
Rosé gritted her teeth.
She was trying to keep herself calm.
She told herself that the most important thing at this moment was to help Jennie.
That way, Jennie would be out of danger.
‘Right, Fourth Master Manoban!’
Rosé called Fourth Master Manoban.
The phone rang, but no one picked up.
Rosé called Jae Hyun instead.
Unexpectedly, no one picked picked up as well.
Rosé broke down completely.
Why was Fourth Master Manoban not around every time something happened to Jennie?!
If something happened to Jennie…
Rosé began to cry like crazy.
When she thought about how Jennie had just been chased by someone… If something happened to her...
At this moment, it seemed that Rosé could only look for Eun Woo.
She dialed a number.
The call was connected after just one ring.
Eun Woo’s slightly groggy voice sounded as if he had fallen asleep.
At this moment, when Eun Woo saw Rosé's call, he sounded concerned. “Rosé, you’re calling me so late at night. Did something happen?”
“Eun Woo, Jennie is in trouble!” The moment Rosé spoke, she started crying like she had gone mad.
On the other side, Eun Woo was obviously shocked as well. “Rosé, calm down. What happened? Don’t panic. Where are you? Where are you? I’ll go find you right away.”
Eun Woo was a little agitated.
“I-I’m... I’ll share you my location. Eun Woo, can you help me call the police? Jennie is being chased by someone.”
“Okay, I’ll help you call the police. Share me your location first. I’ll go find you right away.”
“Okay.”
Rosé hung up the phone and sent the location to Eun Woo.
Eun Woo casually got dressed and left the house.
Actually, when Rosé said that Jennie was in trouble, he thought that it was Elizabeth's doing.
‘Why can’t Elizabeth learn from her mistakes?
‘If she does this, she’ll be courting death!’
Eun Woo called Kai directly.
Kai naturally did not sleep tonight.
He sat in the Manobans’ courtyard and smoked. From time to time, he would receive information about the situation that happened tonight.
When he saw Eun Woo’s call, he paused.
Elizabeth had told him not to tell Eun Woo about this.
That was because Eun Woo’s opinion was to let things settle down first and think about the long-term.
However, Kai and Elizabeth could not swallow their anger.
They had to make Jennie suffer!
Kai took a deep breath and answered the call. “Eun Woo.”
“What are you and Elizabeth doing?!” Eun Woo’s voice was filled with anger.
Kai did not reply.
“Do you know that you’re taking a risk now? If you don’t succeed, you’ll bring about your own destruction! Chief had personally instructed Elizabeth not to go against Jennie, but she’s still doing things her way. It’ll be fine if Jennie dies, but if she doesn’t, do you know how severe the consequences would be for Elizabeth to disobey Chief’s order?”
“Chief is Elizabeth’s father. No matter what—”
“It’s risky to stay by the side of a powerful person!” Eun Woo said word by word and continued, “Elizabeth has done many things that enrage Chief just because she’s Chief’s daughter. This is going to be the last straw before Chief ignores their family ties. If Chief finds out, Elizabeth will die without a doubt!”
Kai was obviously frightened by Eun Woo.
“Kai, I’m only telling you so much because I take you as a friend. I advise you to let go now and stop helping Elizabeth do things. She has lost her mind. Besides, I can clearly see from this matter that her future development won’t be good! She’s too eager to be powerful. She didn’t learn to be shrewd as a political authority. Even if it’s not because of Jennie, she’d still be killed by her other brothers and sisters. She’s not worth our lives anymore!”
Kai gripped his phone tightly.
“Listen to my advice,” Eun Woo said and hung up the phone.
Eun Woo could indeed see it clearly now.
All of Elizabeth's assets came from the chief’s love for her. In reality, she was not that capable. Not only that, but she also did not hide her competitiveness. She could not accept any failure. It would make her die very quickly!
Eun Woo had given up on Elizabeth.
Hence, during this period, when Elizabeth looked for Eun Woo, he would find an excuse to reject her. He even tried to persuade her to stop fighting with Jennie. It was all to make her hold a grudge against him so that the distance between them would grow further.
Eun Woo did not want to be dragged down by Elizabeth!
Nonetheless, he did not expect that Elizabeth would be so impulsive to such an extent.
How long had it been? She had started to attack Jennie again!
She even dragged Kai along.
Of course, Eun Woo was not trying to take into account the friendship between him and Kai.
In their living environment, no friendship was more important than benefits.
Eun Woo only felt that Kai still had value.
It was not worth it for Kai to fall together with Elizabeth.
Rosé had a lot of things that he needed Kai to do for him in the future.
He gritted his teeth and quickly drove to the location that Rosé had sent her.
......
Jennie got rid of Rosé.
After making sure that the cars behind were coming for her, she stepped on the accelerator again and sped up on the streets of South Hampton City.
As she was fast and there were no brakes, Jennie did not even have the time to call for help.
Even so, she was not too anxious.
She believed that after Rosé called Jisoo, Jisoo would go to look for Fourth Master Manoban.
If Fourth Master Manoban came to look for her…
Jennie pursed her lips.
She admitted that at this moment, she had hope for Fourth Master Manoban.
Her eyes moved slightly.
She watched as the four black cars behind her got closer.
Jennie kept driving forward, entering the city area and heading toward the outskirts of the city.
She did not have the time to choose which way to go.
Jennie just kept driving forward.
She just kept driving, not letting the people behind her catch up.
Her speed became faster.
In front of her was a relatively narrow country road.
The road was curved.
It made Jennie's drive with some difficulty.
After all, she was not familiar with the road.
She was also afraid that—
All of a sudden, Jennie's body tensed up.
She saw a large truck suddenly appear in front of her. A dazzling headlight directly blurred her vision.
Jennie quickly grabbed the steering wheel and suddenly made a big turn to the side.
It was a sharp turn.
The road was very narrow, and the guardrail at the bottom was very low.
Jennie's car was very fast.
With a single impact, the guardrail was directly broken.
Once it was broken, the car directly rushed down from the guardrail.
Below was a steep slope. The car could not control itself as it slid along the steep slope. At this moment, due to the impact, the car had completely lost control, and even the steering wheel was useless.
Jennie just watched helplessly at a big rock ahead. She could not avoid it, so the front of the car suddenly crashed into it.
She tried her best to protect her head.
Jae Hyun, the car rolled and continued to slide downward.
Jennie heard crackling sounds, and her body was covered with injuries.
She did not know how long it took before the car finally stopped.
Jennie did not dare to stop. She opened the car door.
The car door was locked.
She gritted her teeth.
With one push from her elbow, she smashed the car window that was already somewhat broken into pieces.
Jennie climbed out of the driver’s seat.
She climbed out covered in blood.
The moment she climbed out, she heard the sounds of footsteps from her surroundings. They quickly ran toward her!
-------------------------
Chapter 247: Jennie Saves Herself and Waits for Lisa
Jennie did not dare to stop at all.
After getting out of the car, she did not have the time to check her injuries and did not know where she was at the moment. She chose a direction and ran forward.
She was very fast.
The people behind her were chasing her very closely.
Nonetheless, Jennie felt that it would not be difficult to find a place to hide in the dark.
She felt that as long as she could stall for time, someone would come to save her.
Jennie ran for a long distance.
Just when she thought she had slightly shaken off the people behind her, she suddenly heard the sound of motorcycle engines.
She looked back.
In the dark, many lights were crisscrossing non-stop. These lights were all from the motorcycles that were crazily driving toward her.
In this place where cars could not travel, the other party actually prepared to use other means of transportation. This time, they were going all-out to kill her!
The motorcycles sped over.
No matter how fast Jennie was, it was useless.
In an instant, she was surrounded by a few motorcycles, unable to advance or retreat.
Jennie was covered in blood as she stood under the lights of the motorcycles.
She looked at the motorcycles in front of her vigilantly.
There were a total of four of them.
It was one against four.
Jennie did not know if she had any chance of winning.
Moreover, there were probably many people behind her.
Jennie gritted her teeth.
Before the other party could make a move, Jennie suddenly approached a motorcycle. Her actions were fast and ruthless. She kicked the motorcyclist’s body ruthlessly. The man did not seem to be able to react in time and was kicked over by Jennie.
Jennie flipped over abruptly and sat on the motorbike.
The moment she was about to leave on the motorbike, the other three motorbikes approached her rapidly and were charging at her madly, knocking her directly to the ground.
Once Jennie fell to the ground, she flipped over and avoided being crushed by another motorbike.
The next second, she was hit by another motorbike.
Jennie kept dodging the three motorbikes, but in the end…
No matter how agile she was, she could not escape unscathed in such a situation.
At this moment, just when she finally could not dodge anymore, her body suddenly jerked.
She was fiercely knocked to the ground by a motorbike.
Jennie felt as if her body was shattered.
There was even a second when she was unable to get up.
She just fell to the ground.
Jennie's body was covered in blood.
Her body was covered in blood as she lay there motionless.
The people in front of her saw that she had completely collapsed and did not come any closer. Instead, they all got down from their motorcycles and looked at her vigilantly as if they were waiting for someone to come.
Jennie secretly gritted her teeth.
She admitted that her body was at its limit, but it was not at the point where she needed to give up.
Fortunately, she had made the right bet.
Once she collapsed, the other party would not attack anymore.
They probably had to keep her alive.
After all, Elizabeth had suffered such a huge loss from Jennie. She had to vent her anger, so how could she let Jennie die just like that?
Jennie lay on the ground motionlessly.
At this moment, she was also trying her best to recover her strength.
She knew she could not fight head-on in this situation.
Just like that, under the somewhat quiet night sky in a deserted countryside, footsteps were heard after some time.
It was obvious that Elizabeth had arrived.
Elizabeth had arrived. She stood in front of Jennie and looked down from above.
She looked at Jennie lying in a pool of blood, not moving at all.
Elizabeth sneered.
She thought that Jennie had great abilities. Was Jennie not lying in front of her, bowing to her at this moment?!
How ridiculous.
Elizabeth asked coldly, “How do you feel?!”
Jennie did not answer. She just lay on the ground, not moving at all.
“Aren’t you quite proud? Didn’t you seduce my man and flaunt your power? Why aren’t you saying anything now? Are you lying on the ground and pretending to be dead?!”
As Elizabeth said that, she stepped fiercely on Jennie's wounded body.
Jennie gritted her teeth.
A piercing pain filled her body.
“You can still endure it. You’re not even screaming!” Elizabeth said cruelly. As she spoke, the strength on her feet became stronger.
At this moment, the high heels seemed to have already penetrated deep into the flesh on Jennie's back.
Jennie clenched her fists so tightly that her eyes were filled with malevolence.
Even so, she did not make a sound.
“Ha.” Elizabeth sneered.
It seemed that she did not expect Jennie to still endure it at this point.
Elizabeth stopped and squatted down. She lifted Jennie's face, which was covered in blood. She grabbed Jennie's chin and forced Jennie to look at her.
Elizabeth's cold voice was heard. “Lisa must like your face. You look like a vixen.”
Jennie looked at Elizabeth coldly.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
“Before you die, I want Lisa to see that your face is beyond recognition,” Elizabeth said sinisterly, “Bring me the knife!”
The bodyguard beside her quickly handed over a Swiss army knife.
Elizabeth held the knife. Under the lights of the motorcycle, she swayed the knife in front of Jennie.
She asked, “Will Lisa still like you if you’re disfigured?!”
Jennie gritted her teeth.
Elizabeth seemed to have had enough of Jennie's silence. She pinched Jennie’s chin hard. “Speak!”
Jennie still looked at her coldly.
“You’re not going to talk?! Are you still being stubborn? Let’s see if you or the knife in my hand is more stubborn!” Elizabeth smiled cruelly. She aimed the knife at Jennie's mouth.
Her face was full of malevolence.
Jennie's gaze suddenly changed, and killing intent instantly appeared in her eyes.
Elizabeth seemed to have noticed Jennie’s strange behavior at this moment.
Jennie, who was originally on the verge of death, seemed to have suddenly become a person full of strength. By the time Elizabeth noticed it, Jennie had made a backhand move. Her speed was fast, and she snatched Elizabeth’s knife from her hand. Next, she aimed it directly at Elizabeth’s neck.
The entire process was accurate and fast, completed in one go.
It seemed that no one had expected it.
Elizabeth was shocked.
She had never thought that Jennie would still have the ability to fight at this time.
Elizabeth had always thought that Jennie had reached her limit and was waiting to be slaughtered, so she was not on guard at all.
She looked straight at Jennie and felt that the knife in Jennie's hand had cut the skin on her neck.
Jennie did not want to waste any more time with Elizabeth. “Let me go, or we’ll die together!”
This was the greatest chance for her to survive.
She had expected Elizabeth to deliberately torture her, so she could only pretend to be on her last breath to let Elizabeth let her guard down. She had also guessed that Elizabeth did not have any martial prowess, so it would not be difficult for her to restrain Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had indeed been plotted against by Jennie.
She had never thought that Jennie would still be able to treat her like this at this point.
Her eyes were cold as she looked at Jennie. She watched as Jennie held the knife and aimed it at her throat.
Jennie might cut her throat, and she would die immediately.
The anger in her eyes was obvious.
It was probably because she was so angry that her heart was beating fast, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Elizabeth could not accept it at all.
She could not accept that she would still be seized by Jennie.
The two of them were in a stalemate for two seconds.
Perhaps it was only one second.
Jennie suddenly felt a pain at the back of her head.
At this moment, Elizabeth's body was suddenly pulled by the person behind her. A man’s hand quickly appeared on her neck. It was obvious that he was trying to block Jennie's knife. Jennie's knife stabbed the man’s hand and directly pierced through it but it did not injure Elizabeth.
Next, Jennie fainted.
After being ruthlessly hit on the back of the head, she could not control herself and fainted.
When she fainted, she saw Elizabeth's sinister and cunning smile.
Jennie knew if no one came to save her… If Fourth Master Manoban did not come...
She would die without a doubt.
Jennie had failed to fight for her last chance of survival.
The reason for her failure was that Elizabeth was also prepared to die with her.
Otherwise, her bodyguards would not have taken the risk. When they knew that Elizabeth's life might be in danger, they did not care and used such an extreme method to save her.
If something went wrong—if Jennie still had the strength to stab the knife deeper before she fainted—Elizabeth's blood vessels would be cut. In less than a minute, she would bleed to death!
Elizabeth knew that would be the outcome, but her bodyguards still did it!
Jennie knew it was Elizabeth's order.
Before Elizabeth came, she had given her bodyguards a death order.
No matter what happened, even if Elizabeth had to lose her life, Jennie must die!
She must let Jennie die!
----------------------------
Chapter 248: Seek Help From Fourth Master Manoban
Late at night, Rosé hugged her legs as she squatted in the dark alley.
Her mind was filled with the images of Jennie being chased crazily.
She thought about how Jennie distracted the others to ensure her safety.
Her tears kept falling.
Rosé did not know why they were suddenly being chased, but she was afraid that Jennie would die.
She bit her lips tightly.
Rosé was there alone, and her body was trembling.
Those who had not experienced it would never know how torturous this was!
After a while, she heard the sound of a car speeding.
A black car drove into the alley, and an emergency brake was made as it stopped at the entrance of the alley. At the same time, Rosé heard someone call out to her anxiously. “Rosé, Rosé, where are you?!”
Rosé cried even more
She had never needed a hug as much as she did at this moment.
She had never needed someone to appear in front of her as much as she did at this moment.
Her throat moved slightly.
With a hoarse voice, she said to Eun Woo, “I’m here.”
Eun Woo heard the voice and quickly went over.
He went over and saw Rosé squatting on the ground as if she had suffered a great injury. She looked weak and helpless.
Eun Woo suddenly hugged Rosé tightly in his arms.
It was as if he was afraid of losing her.
Rosé was caught off guard by Eun Woo’s hug. She could feel Eun Woo’s nervousness and all of his feelings for her.
She should not have hesitated at all.
She should not have... kept a trace of hope... even if she did not want to admit it herself.
“Rosé, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let you get hurt again,” Eun Woo said, his firm tone and sturdy chest gave Rosé a great sense of security.
This was the peace of mind that Eun Woo gave her!
Rosé wiped her tears.
She tried her best to calm herself down.
Rosé knew the most important thing now was to save Jennie!
She pushed Eun Woo away. The two of them hugged each other for no more than two minutes.
Rosé said, “Eun Woo, send me to the Manobans’ manor. I want to find Fourth Master Manoban!”
Eun Woo looked at Rosé.
“I saw Fourth Master Manoban tonight. I believe he’s there. Other than him, I don’t know who else I can find to save Jennie. Jennie is currently being chased by someone!” Rosé suddenly said very calmly.
The girl who was clearly scared out of her wits and whose body was trembling just now displayed tenacity and strength at this moment.
Eun Woo was slightly startled.
He said, “I called the police. The police have gone to look for Jennie's traces according to what I said.”
“I don’t trust the police.” Rosé looked straight at Eun Woo. “I was scared out of my wits just now, so I asked you to help me call the police. On second thought, I don’t trust the police at all. The police are all under the Sanders!”
Eun Woo was stunned.
He had always thought that Rosé was very innocent and did not know anything.
Nonetheless, at this moment, he vaguely felt that Rosé seemed to know that this accident was related to the Sanders.
Eun Woo nodded.
He did not want to be suspected by Rosé, so he agreed immediately. “Okay, let’s go to the Manobans’ manor.”
Eun Woo pulled Rosé up from the ground.
The moment Rosé stood up, her feet suddenly went weak, and she almost fell.
“Rosé.” Eun Woo held her up.
“I’m fine.” Rosé gritted her teeth.
She must have fallen from the car and busted her knees.
That was why she felt intense pain as she walked.
Rosé sat in Eun Woo’s car.
She did not have the mood to care about where she was injured. She just waited nervously for the car to drive into the Manobans’ manor.
Rosé was still afraid.
The fear of death just now made her feel like breaking down.
At this moment, what she was afraid of was that Fourth Master Manoban was not around.
What if Fourth Master Manoban was not around?
What about Jennie?!
Rosé's eyes were bloodshot.
She was trying hard not to cry.
‘Don’t think too much.
‘I’m determined that Jennie will be alive.
‘Jennie will surely live!’
With that, they headed to the Manobans’ manor in a frenzy.
As it was nighttime, the gates of the Manobans’ manor were tightly shut.
The guards at the entrance did not allow Rosé and Eun Woo to enter, saying that they had to obtain the consent of the Manobans.
Eun Woo’s communication was ineffective multiple times.
At this moment, Rosé was so angry that she wanted to let Eun Woo drive the car and crash into the gates.
When she called Fourth Master Manoban and Jae Hyun, no one picked up still.
‘Am I going to fail here?!
‘I can’t fail.’
----------------------
Chapter 249: Seek Help From Fourth Master Manoban
Rosé told herself that she absolutely could not give up.
Once she gave up, Jennie might really... have no chance of survival.
She bit her lip hard, trying to calm herself down.
Rosé could not panic.
She could not be flustered and lose her mind just because of a little thing.
At this time, she held back her tears and came up with an idea out of desperation.
She suddenly called Kai.
The phone rang.
After a long while, the call was finally connected. “Rosé, it’s so late—”
“I’m at your front gate. Tell your guards to let me in!” Rosé was yelling!
“What are you doing at my house in the middle of the night?” Kai's tone was not very good. “Are you mad?”
In reality, Kai's heart could not help but beat faster.
‘Could it be that Rosé has discovered something?!
‘That’s impossible.
‘Rosé is clearly just a heartless and super playful young lady. She couldn’t possibly have Jennie's wisdom and shrewdness, so it’s impossible for her to have noticed anything!’
Rosé was about to yell at Kai again.
Eun Woo took Rosé's phone and said, “Kai, this is Eun Woo. Ask the guards to open the gate. We have something important to do!”
“Eun Woo.” Kai's eyes narrowed.
‘Eun Woo is with Rosé!
‘Could it be that Eun Woo told Rosé…?’
“We’re here to look for Fourth Master Manoban. Please help us out. Your guards aren’t letting us go in. They said it’s too late and the Manobans have an entrance restriction for outsiders!” Eun Woo explained.
It was a simple explanation, but he was sending a message to Kai.
He was sending a message to tell Kai that Rosé did not know anything and that they were only here to look for help.
Kai immediately understood.
He said, “I’ll go out to pick you guys up.”
Eun Woo nodded. “Thank you.”
He hung up the phone.
Eun Woo returned the phone to Rosé.
When he saw Rosé's anxious face, he remained silent.
Around five to six minutes later, Kai appeared at the gate and asked the guards to open the gate.
After opening it, Kai walked out directly.
Rosé wanted to rush in but was stopped by Kai.
He said, “My fourth uncle isn’t free tonight. You can look for him tomorrow.”
Rosé pushed Kai away directly. “Tomorrow will be too late. Get out of my way!”
Kai was forced to take a few steps back by Rosé's brute force.
His eyes narrowed.
The moment he met Eun Woo’s gaze, he endured it and did not stop Rosé.
Rosé ran into the Manobans’ manor in a frenzy.
She was not even wearing her shoes.
Her 12-centimeter high heels had disappeared without a trace the moment she jumped out of the car.
Eun Woo glanced at Rosé and gave Kai a look.
Kai followed Eun Woo into the car.
Eun Woo sat in the driver’s seat and deliberately used some time to light the fire.
It was just so he could speak to Kai alone. “Jennie is now being kidnapped by Elizabeth. No matter what happens to Jennie in the end, whether she’ll be killed by Elizabeth or not, it’s best that you don’t appear. Even if Elizabeth asks you to do so, don’t go. Not to mention the others, if your fourth uncle knows that you’re involved, you wouldn’t be able to live!”
Kai was shocked.
He could completely imagine that if his fourth uncle found out, given his fourth uncle’s personality, he might really be killed.
“If you want to take revenge on someone, the best way is to use someone else to kill them,” Eun Woo said coldly and cruelly.
Kai pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
Originally, Elizabeth had said that once Jennie was seized by her, she would send someone to pick Kai up and torture Jennie crazily.
At this moment, Kai suddenly felt that Eun Woo's reminder was very right.
He could not completely lose his mind and do something that might cause him to die just for the sake of showing off for a moment.
As for torturing Jennie…
Death would be the greatest torture to her!
‘That self-righteous woman would finally not hinder my sight. She won’t get to show off in front of me anymore!’
Kai was also certain that given Elizabeth's personality, before Jennie died, she would definitely experience a life worse than death.
Though Kai felt a little regretful that he would not be able to witness it.
As long as he knew that would not have an easy time, it was enough!
Therefore, Kai did not need to be there in person.
He nodded and said affirmatively, “Alright, I got it.”
Eun Woo nodded.
He said, “Rosé wants Fourth Master Manoban to save Jennie now. I have no choice but to come with her. I can’t let Rosé know that I don’t want to save Jennie. It’ll destroy our relationship...”
“Don’t worry, my fourth uncle can’t save Jennie tonight.” Kai sneered.
Eun Woo looked at Kai.
Fourth Master Manoban did not pick up the phone, nor did Jae Hyun. Eun Woo had found this a little strange.
“I won’t hide it from you. It was indeed me and Elizabeth who planned to kill Jennie tonight. “The reason I chose tonight was that I went to talk to my grandpa about work that day and accidentally heard him say that he wants to punish my fourth uncle! I don’t know what my fourth uncle did to offend my grandpa, but once my grandpa decides to punish my fourth uncle, he won’t be able to leave home. So I asked around and found out that my fourth uncle would be taught a lesson by my grandpa tonight, so Melody and I chose to make a move against Jennie today.”
“Mm.” Eun Woo nodded. “Let’s first accompany Rosé to finish her act.”
“Okay.” Kai instantly understood.
Eun Woo drove at a somewhat fast speed.
Rosé ran barefoot in the Manobans’ manor.
At this moment, she was so nervous that she had forgotten that the Manobans’ manor was very big. There was only one thought in her mind—she had to find Fourth Master Manoban.
She had to find Fourth Master Manoban to save Jennie.
Eun Woo stepped on the accelerator and stopped beside Rosé. “Rosé, get in the car.”
Rosé was stunned.
She hurriedly opened the car door and got in.
Eun Woo drove very quickly to the Bamboo Garden.
It was quiet there.
As soon as the car stopped, Rosé opened the car door and rushed in.
The huge building was empty. There was no one inside.
Rosé rushed to the second floor and went to Fourth Master Manoban's room.
She pushed the door open and found that it was empty.
It was impossible.
It was impossible that Fourth Master Manoban was gone.
He even attended the banquet tonight.
Although he left early, Rosé did not believe that he had left South Hampton City.
She could not accept it.
Rosé was on the verge of collapse.
This was because her last straw seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
She stood at the door of Fourth Master Manoban's bedroom. It was as if she had lost her breath. She stood there without moving.
“Rosé,” Eun Woo called out to her from behind.
At this moment, Felix heard the noise and came out of his room.
When he came out, he saw Rosé standing at the door of his master’s bedroom. He was shocked.
When Rosé heard the noise, she suddenly seemed to have come to life.
She looked straight at Felix and quickly walked over.
Felix was so scared by Rosé's appearance that he involuntarily took two steps back.
‘She isn’t sleepwalking, is he?’
“Felix, where’s Fourth Master Manoban? Where did he go?!” Rosé grabbed Felix’s arms with both hands and asked him fiercely.
Felix was stunned for two seconds.
Rosé had come here to look for Fourth Master last time.
However, she was clearly not as flustered as she was this time.
At this moment, it was as if something big had happened and that she needed Fourth Master Manoban's help.
Felix was frightened by Rosé's appearance. He said nervously, “Fourth Master was summoned by the old master tonight and didn’t come back. We were told that nobody is allowed to disturb them—”
Before he could finish, he saw Rosé run away as if she had gone mad.
Upon closer inspection, he found that her gown was in tatters and that there were many serious scratches on her body.
It looked like a big accident had happened!
-------------------------
Chapter 250: Jisoo Shows up Amidst Many Obstructions
Rosé left Fourth Master Manoban's Bamboo Garden in a frenzy.
In fact, at that moment, she wanted to thank God for his mercy!
At least, Fourth Master Manoban had not left South Hampton City.
As long as he did not leave the city, there was still a glimmer of hope.
It would not make her despair!
Rosé got into Eun Woo’s car, and he drove to the Manoban's main courtyard, Universe Garden.
This was the Manobans’ old master’s place.
Normally, no one dared to come here directly. In fact, many people were afraid of this place.
Not only outsiders, but even members of the Manobans would feel pressured when they appeared here.
At this moment, Kai was feeling a little uneasy. It was as if he had taken in a huge breath of cold air and could not breathe out. Even breathing was a little difficult for him.
In the Manoban's, Kai's fourth uncle was very prestigious. Every time he saw his fourth uncle, he would feel a little frightened. However, his grandfather was the upgraded version of his fourth uncle. Other than his fourth uncle, most people in the Manobans did not dare to provoke his grandfather.
At this moment, Rosé did not care about her life and wanted to force her way in.
Kaj gritted his teeth and was against it.
In the next second, he saw that Rosé was really not afraid of death and directly rushed in.
She rushed into the hall of the Universe Garden.
The Universe Garden was a typical design of an ancient building. Everything was antique, and there was a bookish atmosphere. Every corner inside was filled with priceless antiques even if they looked like an unremarkable teacup or a fan.
Therefore, whenever the Manoban's were summoned here, they had to be careful. They had to be careful not to break the old master’s antiques. Even the youngest child in the family, Quinton, did not dare to make a ruckus here.
The hall was extremely quiet.
Rosé had never been here before. She did not know what this place looked like.
She only felt that it was very gloomy in the middle of the night.
It was just like those old houses that were seen in TV dramas. Due to the dim light at night, it felt like a haunted house.
Of course, Rosé was not in the mood to care about that at this time.
She could not help but shout loudly, “Grandpa Zachary!”
Kai was so scared that her heart was trembling.
Rosé was not afraid of death!
Even after she shouted, Old Master Manobab did not come out. Grandpa Suk Yu, who had been serving by Old Master Manoban's side, came out instead.
Grandpa Suk Yu was Jae Hyun’s grandfather, Jeong Suk Yu.
After Old Master Manoban abandoned politics and went into business, Suk Yu also left court politics and helped the Manobans to conquer the business empire. Later, after Suk Yu handed over some businesses to his son, he returned to Old Master Manoban's side and stayed with him.
Old Master Manoban seemed to only trust Suk Yu.
Except for Suk Yu, no one could get close to Old Master Manoban.
Of course, except for Old Madam Manoban.
However, Old Madam Manoban had passed away a few years ago, so the only person who could get close to Old Master Manoban now was Suk Yu.
Suk Yu looked at the person and turned on the lights a little. “Why did you come here in the middle of the night to cause trouble?!”
“Grandpa Suk Yu, I’m Rosé, the daughter of Park Seo Jun,” Rosé quickly introduced herself.
She knew Grandpa Suk Yu. After all, he was Jae Hyun’s grandfather. Although Old Master Manoban did not attend any business banquets or public events, nor did Grandpa Suk Yu, she had seen him a few years ago on random occasions.
Rosé had also seen him at Kai’s wedding the last time.
“The little daughter of the Parks,” Suk Yu replied indifferently, “What are you doing here so late at night?”
“I’m looking for Grandfather Zachary.”
“The old master is asleep. Come and look for him tomorrow instead.”
“Tomorrow will be too late. Grandpa Suk Yu, I beg you, please let me see Grandfather Zachary. I really have something important to tell him!” Rosé's eyes were red.
Tears fell down her cheeks.
Suk Yu was a little speechless.
This little girl cried the moment she arrived.
It made him a little overwhelmed.
He asked, “What is it?”
“Felix said that Grandpa Zachary has locked up Fourth Master. I’m looking for Fourth Master and want to ask Grandpa Zachary to let him go...”
“No way!” Suk Yu refused immediately. His expression instantly became serious.
How could Rosé care so much? She went forward and tugged at Suk Yu, “Grandpa Suk Yu, I’m begging you. I only came to look for Fourth Master Manoban because I encountered a big problem. If I can’t find him tonight, I’m really going to die!”
Suk Yu looked at Rosé speechlessly.
She indeed looked very miserable. It seemed that something had happened.
