Warren had made that statement as he stood up. Jasmine herself frowned as she scanned through the storeroom.
Her gaze stopped when she saw a few joss sticks placed near a corner of the room.
âThose mustâve been the reason why we were so sleepy!â said Jasmine as she pointed at her discovery.
âSo thatâs why! Still, who were those peopleâ¦? Why didnât they just tell us who they were after saving us?â replied Maia.
Before anyone could even reply, one of the groupâs membersâwho had already been exploring the placeâshouted, âHey, come over here, I think they left something for us!â
Hearing that, everyone encircled the box with a note on it.
The note itself wrote, âTo: Maia.â
âGuess we know who gets to open it,â said yet another member of the team.
Maia herself was now feeling giddy with excitement. As she thought about what could be inside, she caught a glimpse of Warren bearing an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Noticing that she was looking at him, Warren then said with a hint of anger in his voice, âGo on and open it already! If you donât I will!â
âHey, this is clearly for me! Only I get to open it!â retorted Maia in an annoyed tone.
âWell then open it! Carefully, though! We have no idea whatâs in it!â grumbled Warren as he looked at Maia, almost as though he wanted to pick a fight.
In all honesty, he was worried that if Maia truly liked the contents of that box, she would end up falling for somebody else.
Before an argument could take place, Jasmine shouted in a hushed tone, âQuit it! Canât you hear that?
Someoneâs coming over!â
Upon saying that, she instantly headed to the storeroomâs main door with soundless steps.
The tension rose as everyone prepared themselves to face whatever came next. After all, the people outside could very well be the Schuylers.
After a brief moment of silence, however, a sweet female voice could be heard saying, âJasmine?
Maia? Are you in thereâ¦?â
Jasmine recognized that voice anywhere.
âMindy? Yes! Weâre here!â
As everyone heard that, the groupâs tension slowly eased again.
Opening the storeroomâs door, Jasmine saw that Mindy had brought along two Fenderson bodyguards with her.
âJasmine! Iâm so relieved that the rest of you are fine!â cried out Mindy.
After the hellish night they had to experience the night before, being able to reunite with each other was definitely the cure that they very much needed and deserved.
âItâs great that youâre fine, Miss Fenderson! You have no idea how worried Lord Fendersonâs been this entire time!â said one of the two bodyguards who were still standing behind Mindy.
âWorry not, Iâm unscathed. Honestly, Iâm even more surprised that you made it out already. Did everyone else manage to escape? Werenât there any guards impeding you from leaving?â asked Jasmine curiously.
Upon hearing her questions, Mindy began sobbing as she said, âWe⦠We were rescued by Sanderson! He saved us all!â
âWhat? Sanderson? Actually, hold on, why are you crying? Did something happen to him?â asked Jasmine. Though she was initially shocked when she heard that, worry soon overtook that feeling when she saw Mindyâs tears.
âI⦠I donât know⦠I think heâs still in trouble⦠After all, once all of us were rescued, we found that Stella was missing! As a result, he ran back into the Schuyler family mansion and that was the last I saw himâ¦â replied Jasmine, her sheer sadness reflected in her eyes.
âCalm yourself, Mindy⦠Sanderson will have luck on his side, Iâm sure of it. Besides, donât start crying when we havenât even launched a search party for him! What would he think of that?â said Jasmine with a comforting smile on her face.
ââ¦Youâre right⦠Sandersonâs lived a tough life, even from when he was a child⦠Iâm sure heâs an equally tough person. Weâll definitely find him safe and sound!â declared Mindy with a resolute nod.
While Jasmine was glad that Mindy was feeling positive again, she was curious as to where all that resolution came from. It was almost as though Mindy knew for sure that Sanderson would definitely be fine. However, Jasmine refrained from asking her anything about it for now. After all, their grandfatherâs safety was still her priority.
âWhat about grandpa? Is he safe? Did the Schuylers do anything to him? Also, how did you even know where to find us?â
âHah! The Schuylers? Donât even talk about them! They mustâve personally offended a god or something! After all, not only was their entire mansion razed to the ground, all of them have officially been declared missing! To that, I say they got what they f*cking deserved!â grunted the other guard behind Mindy.
ââ¦Wait, what? The Schuylers are⦠gone?â
âYeah! There werenât even any bodies to speak of! Everyone from that family simply vanished into thin air!â replied Mindy as she wiped her tears away.
âRegardless, we should head back first, Miss Fenderson. Lord Fenderson will be hosting a family meeting soon, and it seems that he wants to announce something important!â
