Chapter 232

Even though everyone knew that Lucian and Allison had vanished in the woods, it didn’t mean they had a clue why. It wasn’t until they heard Kamilla spill the beans that they realized Lucian had gone missing trying to save the maid, leaving them with weird looks.

Aidan looked around and asked, “Where’s James?”

Jason replied, “He’s on the island, looking for people with Carl,”

Aldan nodded, then gave an order to one of his guys, I’m heading to the island, Jason. You guys hold the fort here.”

Kamilla grabbed his hand and said, “No, Aidan. It’s raining cats and dogs, the waves are crazy, and the trip to Pearl Island is long. It’s a risky business.” But Aidan wasn’t about to change his mind just because of Kamilla’s plea. He didn’t even give her a second glance, shook off her hand, and walked off.

Kamilla tried to follow but was stopped by one of Aidan’s men.

“Please, go back and rest.”

With no other choice, Kamilla turned around and left.

Despite the rough seas, Aidan managed to land on Pearl Island.

Carl, wearing a raincoat, said, “Mr. Crane, what brings you here?”

Inside the control room, Aidan looked at the satellite map on the computer and asked, “Have they been found yet?”

There’s no signal in the deep woods. lan’s team is already there. They’re sending signals, moving towards the center”

Carl said, “We should find them by dawn.”

Aidan replied. “I need 100% certainty. They must be found.”

Carl gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, sir!”

Aidan looked out into the rainy night, gripping his cane tightly. He watched a blue flare explode in the night sky. Carl immediately pinpointed the location, That’s a flare from lan. They’re on trail 06, deep in the woods.”

The rain had eased up, and Allison’s clothes were halfway dry. She put them back on.

She rechecked Lucian’s hand. The area around his wound was red and purplish. The snake’s venom was potent, and although she had treated the wound promptly, Lucian was still running a high fever.

The herbs could only make him slightly more comfortable.

She was the reason the snake bit Lucian.

“I heard from Penelope that your mother is sick.”

The man’s voice came out of nowhere.

“What else did Penelope tell you?” Allison smirked a hint of sarcasm in her voice. “Did she also mention that she and Leah paid my mother’s medical bills?”

She looked up towards the cave entrance and whispered, “Kidney failure. Needs money to survive.”

“Did you sell yourself for that?”

Allison clenched her fists, “Mr. Lindberg, will you ask me who I sold myself to next? Would you believe me if I said it was you?”

Her words were dripping with sarcasm, which Lucian naturally didn’t buy. He had been living abroad and only returned to Northfield four months ago. After being drugged, he spent a night with Penelope.

His first night with Allison was due to her drugging him during the Willowbrook College anniversary. By that time, Allison was no longer a virgin.

He said nothing more.

Allison whispered, “Mr. Lindberg, who took my virginity, which I sold myself to, whose child I’m carrying, do they matter to you?”

“None of my business.”

“If it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Lindberg, why do you care what I do?”

The man clenched his fist. Yeah, why did he care? What did this woman’s promiscuous private life have to do with him?

“Or is it, Mr. Lindberg, that you like me?”
