Chapter 291
"Oh? Didn't you say you were his woman?" Maurice's tone remained indifferent as his brown-colored eyes scanned Camila from head to toe. He sneered. "I knew it. How could he possibly fall for someone like you." With that one remark, Camila's face turned red and pale, feeling humiliated.
He raised his hand, and his subordinates released her, but they still stood behind her, waiting for his command to drag her away.
"Tell me what you know."
"I..." She bit her lip. She had previously told him that Stephan had abandoned her, which was why he had kept her around.
But now, she couldn't lie anymore.
She could only tell him everything, from the first time she met Stephan that morning, to her impersonation, the lies being exposed, and even the day at Stephan's estate when she witnessed his unusual relationship with Felicia. "Felicia Fuller?" Maurice repeated the name, a playful smile spreading across his face. "Interesting."
Camila pleaded in a trembling tone. "Mr. Glovers, I've told you everything I know. Please don't kill me. I beg you... I can do anything for you..."
He clicked his tongue and turned his wheelchair around, leaving behind only one sentence. "I like obedient people; I can't stand... clever women." What did that mean?
She forgot to continue crying for a moment as an overwhelming fear consumed her!
The two subordinates behind her immediately stepped forward, pulling her up and dragging her away.
"Ah! Let go of me! No! Help! Help!" Camila screamed, struggling as they dragged her farther and farther until she caught a glimpse of the crocodile pit.
The water in the pit shimmered, and the giant creatures below heard the commotion and quickly swam to the shore.
"Ah!"
Camila was thrown into the water with a splash.
On the villa's rooftop, Maurice sat in his wheelchair, watching the scene in the crocodile pit from a distance. His eyes narrowed, and a smile of amusement played on his lips. "Tsk, useless."
With that final comment, he looked away and sipped the wine a maid had brought him.
One of his subordinates hurriedly approached, reporting, "Mr. Glovers, Stephan left Khogend last night and has just landed back in Seldvale!"
"Oh?" Maurice's eyes grew cold. "We searched for him for so long and couldn't find him. Turns out he was in Khogend. It seems there's someone there who can tie him down."
The subordinate asked, "Mr. Glovers,
should we send people to Khogend to capture Felicia? If she really is Stephan's woman, we'll have an advantage in dealing with him..."
"No need." Maurice set his wine glass down and smiled widely. "I'll go personally."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, looking worried. "But Mr. Glovers, your leg can't handle the cold, and you can't leave the hot springs..."
Maurice's smile instantly vanished. "Are you reminding me that I'm a cripple?"
The subordinate immediately knelt. "Sorry, Mr. Glovers! That wasn't my intention!"
Maurice snorted coldly, his tone calm. "There's a medical center in Khogend, Harmony Medical Center. The owner is the medical master, Clive Walsh, whose skills are so extraordinary, he's said to be like Hippocrates reborn."
"Yes."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
He spun his wheelchair and casually said, "Looks like I have no choice but to go to Khogend." The subordinate didn't dare reply, knowing another medical center would soon be in big trouble.
