Chapter 1360: Chapter 1359: A Midnight Intrusion into His Room

...

All the way until two in the morning.

The maids waiting in the room had all been taken down by Charlotte Knight one way or another.

She’d learned some self-defense Taekwondo before; though she looked pampered and delicate on the surface, dropping a few maids casually was nothing to her.

After knocking out the maids, the first thing she did was climb for the window...

The second floor, this is the second floor!

She’d been locked up in the basement for days. Her body was covered with cuts and bruises, lashed by little whips, leaving marks that still hurt quite a bit.

From the maids’ chatter, this was the Readington Family base in Europe. Europe... which meant this place was very, very far away...

Because Arthur Easton had publicly denied the kidnapping, and had even carefully staged a car accident to fake their deaths... it would only make the people back in the Sovereign Empire think they were already dead.

There was simply no way anyone could find this place.

Below the villa was a sea of blooming carnations. From the second floor looking down it was pitch black; Charlotte Knight had no other way out. The front gate was guarded, so she could only think of climbing out through the window.

"Bang..."

Charlotte Knight felt like her leg was about to snap from the fall.

Thinking back over her more than twenty years of life, when had she ever been this wretched?

Since she had no idea Eva Nightingale had been kidnapped here too, she could only plan her own escape alone.

But this place was like a royal palace—golden and resplendent everywhere, decorated in a courtly style, on par with Brother Lucas’s Platinum Castle.

In the night, she limped forward as she ran.

The noise when she jumped down had alerted the bodyguards in the front, and those big, burly men quickly gave chase: "Quick... after her, don’t let her get away!"

"Hurry, don’t let that hostage woman run!"

The rough, brutal male voices behind her sent a jolt of fear through her. She hurriedly gathered up her skirt and ran forward.

It was an extremely luxurious villa, with a fountain at the entrance.

She kicked off her shoes and flung them hard into the flowerbeds, then dashed straight into the villa...

There were no bodyguards posted here; it looked quiet and leisurely.

The housekeeper in the living room was startled: "!!!"

This... was this the second young master’s new girlfriend?

She was indeed prettier than all the previous ones.

It was just... she looked so disheveled...

As the woman was thinking this, Charlotte had already hurried upstairs, clutching her skirt.

...

Charlotte Knight had only rushed upstairs to avoid the bodyguards in the front yard, but when she burst in, she was met with a very indecent scene.

She’d just wanted to push open the master bedroom door and hide for a bit, as long as they didn’t drag her back...

Who knew that when she opened the door, she’d see something like this.

What filled her vision was a male body, almost na~~ked~~.

Every cell in her body started clamoring, her legs suddenly went weak, and she instinctively stumbled back a step: "Sir... s-sorry... I didn’t mean to barge in."

She’d drunk quite a bit of alcohol and had used that courage to make a run for it.

Originally that had been a good thing, but now, maybe not so much!

The alcohol was making her face burn hot...

"..." Arthur Easton calmly put on a bathrobe, his silver-gray hair loose and strikingly cool. He picked up a towel, wiped himself off, and walked toward her. "Since you’re here, miss, why don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea."

Looking at her clothes and this wretched state she was in...

He recognized her at a glance.

A flash of stunn~ing beauty passed through his eyes, then his expression returned to normal. "Relax, I won’t do anything to you."

Charlotte Knight: "Really!"

The man: "Yes." Miss, if only you knew how long I’ve been looking for you!
