Chapter 1024 - 1027: We’re Going to Rescue Someone

They don’t have the guts to attack them here, death is impossible.

But they do have their means.

Strangely, there’s been no movement for two days in a row, Melody Thorne is beginning to wonder, what are they up to?

"Master, why don’t you go ahead and take a nap, don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Melody Thorne has been on edge for the past two days, so she hasn’t slept well, and now she’s struggling to stay awake. "Then keep an eye out, I’ll take a nap."

Melody Thorne laid down on the big bed.

"Master, don’t worry."

Until early morning, Ona also couldn’t stay awake and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Melody Thorne, in her half-asleep state, heard the sound of a door opening. The bedroom light was off, leaving only a dim small lamp. As soon as Melody Thorne opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face.

"Jared Quinn, why are you here?" Melody Thorne rubbed her eyes, thinking she was dreaming.

"Don’t say much now, something’s happened, let’s go quickly," Jared Quinn grabbed her arm and pulled her outside.

"Wait, wait, what’s happened?"

"Let’s leave here first and talk."

"Ona, Ona, wake up, wake up, we need to leave."

"No need to worry about him, let’s get out first," Jared Quinn pulled her out of the room.

Melody Thorne looked around and noticed no one was there. "Jared Quinn, what’s going on?"

Jared Quinn led her out of Harold Chapman’s territory, speaking as they walked. "Melody, this isn’t good, Timmy has been grabbed by Councilman Gu’s people, they want us to give them what Weston Hawthorne gave you as a trade, quick, go get it, let’s save him!"

Melody Thorne raised her head to notice the man in front seemed very off, and his palm was a bit rough, but Jared Quinn’s hand is usually smooth; the man’s hand appeared as if it trained daily.

She had heard ages ago that Councilman Gu had methods for people; turns out, this was one stupid trick.

"Jared Quinn, I don’t understand what you’re saying, when did Weston Hawthorne ever give me something?" Melody Thorne replied cooperatively.

She is an actress, so she has some acting skills.

"Melody, even at a time like this, you still refuse to hand it over? Is Timmy’s life more important, or is that thing more important?"

Melody Thorne raised an indifferent eyebrow, it was obvious this person was professionally trained, though she couldn’t tell how his face was managed, you could see effort was made—could it be a mask?

If Jared Quinn knew someone was imitating him, he might die of anger.

"Of course, Timmy’s life is more important, but the key is I don’t have that thing," Melody Thorne stopped walking and shook off the gross hand. "Did you forget what Donovan Hawthorne said when we met him earlier?"

"What?"

"Did you really forget? He said to help him, he even told you actually Weston had always wanted him to have significant trust, so Weston gave his most important thing to Donovan—think, the thing they’re searching for, right?"

Melody Thorne spoke urgently and sincerely, leaving no hint for the opposite to leverage.

"Really?"

"Certainly true, what do we do now? Should we go find Donovan and retrieve the thing?" Melody Thorne eagerly asked.

Her eyes noticed the man’s ear in front light up a bit, like receiving some instruction.
