Chapter 1776 Fallen Into A Trap
âDennis, do you think the general will be into her?â asked Sophia softly as she looked at the man
before her, who was constantly checking Arielle out.
The general hadnât been assigning her as many tasks lately, so Sophia needed to find some ways to
get on his good side. Only then would he assign more tasks to her. Without those tasks, her family
would slowly fall out of the generalâs favors, and that wasnât good.
âJudging by her looks, I think heâll like her,â replied Dennis. He smiled at her and asked, âWhere did you
find such a pretty woman? Iâm sure the general will reward you handsomely if heâs happy with her.â
Sophia smiled deviously after hearing what Dennis said.
She had already decided how she would deal with Arielle the second the latter opened her eyes and
regained consciousness.
âI found her on the streets,â answered Sophia while narrowing her eyes before turning her gaze to
Dennis and asking, âWhen will the general be back?â
She couldnât wait to see how happy the general would get.
âHe went shopping for clothes with his wife. My guess is that he wonât be back until this evening,â
answered Dennis.
âThen I will leave her in your care.â
âSure. Iâll send someone to inform you if the general is happy with the woman,â replied Dennis, looking
at Sophia.
She nodded. Before she left, she glanced at Arielle once more. The general is the king around here, so
youâll be in luck if heâs into you and you get to serve him.
After Sophia left, Dennis took another glance at Arielle, who was lying on the bed. The general will
surely be happy with such a fine specimen. She is younger than the generalâs wife, so Iâm sure she will
be able to give birth to a son for him. Oh, that would be wonderful. If she is able to give him a son, my
and Sophiaâs future would be bright!
The general and his wife had been married for over a decade, but they only had a daughter. There was
no news of another pregnancy since.
Over the years, the general had hired a number of doctors to treat his wife so that she could get
pregnant again, but nothing ever happened. The general was so desperate for an heir that he slept with
countless other women. Unfortunately, none of them bore him any son.
The woman before Dennis was not only pretty but also had an alluring figure. She was definitely one of
a kind. Dennis was certain that the general would become attached to her and would sleep with her
more than once. That meant that sooner or later, she would be pregnant with his child.
âKeep an eye on her,â ordered Dennis after summoning two housekeepers over. âThis is the generalâs
woman, so you will both lose your lives if you fail to keep an eye on her.â
The housekeepers nodded right away after hearing what he said. After that, they stood on both sides of
Arielleâs bed and guarded her as though they were her warden.
âThe generalâs wife will probably be devastated if she learns that the general will be sleeping with such
a beautiful woman.â
âSo what if sheâs devastated? Itâs her fault she failed to give him a son. If the general has a son, he
would not have slept with all those other women.â
Arielle heard the housekeepers gossiping quietly before she even opened her eyes.
She was going to continue feigning being unconscious so that she could gain more information from
them, but unfortunately, that was also when she heard one of them saying, âStop talking. Weâll both be
in danger if anyone overhears us.â
Right after that, the other housekeeper agreed with her friend, and silence ensued.
Seeing that they had stopped discussing, Arielle thought it was pointless to continue feigning
unconsciousness. Thus, she opened her eyes and asked, âWhereâs Clyde?â
As soon as she finished asking that question, her gaze darkened. She recalled what happened that
morning.
Iâve fallen into a trap! My breakfast was drugged!
âWhere am I? Who brought me here?â
