"Sis, I find this situation a bit strange." Luna Durant folded the quilt neatly before walking over, frowning in analysis, "Since we got here, we’ve essentially lost contact with the outside world. We can’t reach ho, and we can’t reach the people outside... The family is far away, we can leave that aside for now. But the people outside, even if they can’t be reached, should have sent soone to bring news."
"..."
Stella Durant suddenly halted.
With Luna Durant’s reminder, the sense of discomfort that had lingered in her mind suddenly expanded and gradually turned into a certain suspicion...
"Moreover," Luna hesitated for a mont, then added, "There was a signal on the first night we arrived."
"A signal?" Stella’s eyes suddenly widened.
Her voice raised, and Luna’s voice imdiately lowered, "I even called my agent that night..."
Stella’s anger rose imdiately, glaring at Luna, stepping forward, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?!"
"..." Luna was startled for a mont, "Didn’t you see make that call?"
"..." Stella thought carefully and indeed rembered such an incident, but how could she admit her mistake? She could only continue to shift the bla, "You realized it, why did you wait until now to ntion it?!"
Luna’s voice grew quieter, "The next day, I said it was strange there was no signal, but you said it was because this place is too remote and didn’t take it seriously."
Stella: "..."
"Sis, could it be Nora Scott’s doing?" Luna fanned the flas and asked again.
Stella glared at her.
Luna imdiately shut her mouth.
After a pause, Stella took a deep breath, slightly suppressing the anger in her chest, then said, "It can only be her. Also, I think she’s targeting us. Dad and the people outside might all be in danger."
Damn it.
No wonder Nora Scott didn’t ntion anything about the Loulanel plan last night, only asked about Alexander Vaughn’s matters...
It turns out Nora didn’t need to ask at all!
In other words, Nora had long decided to deal with their family and wasn’t interested in whatever actions their family took in the Loulanel plan.
Because it wasn’t necessary.
Stella was practically furious at Nora.
"Miss Stella, Miss Luna!"
In the midst of the sisters’ conversation, soone hurriedly arrived.
At that mont, a chill spread through both sisters’ hearts, both feeling a bad premonition.
"There’s news from Master’s side, Clent Winter, at yesterday’s recognition banquet, collaborated with Biel Hall and the police to expose those illegal activities the family did. Now, Master and the housekeeper along with others have been detained." The person reported, looking at Stella, then added, "Furthermore, Miss Stella, it’s better if you hide for a while. The police have evidence of you kidnapping an elderly person, along with so miscellaneous evidence... They’re searching for you now."
"Sis!"
Luna looked panicked.
Stella stood there dumbfounded.
This was definitely all arranged by Nora!
"Didn’t you say there were no movents from Biel Hall’s people?" Stella asked coolly with a lowered gaze.
Fearing Nora’s tricks, she had soone monitor the internal movents of Biel Hall and report in real-ti to Robert Durant, yet as of a few days ago, the news remained unchanged, with no sign of movent.
The person lowered their eyes, reporting softly, "They were expelled from Biel Hall yesterday."
"..."
In other words, Nora already knew they had bribed her people but didn’t reveal it at once. Instead, she lay low, provided false information to those people to mislead them...
What a cunning woman!
Clenching her teeth, the veins on Stella’s hand beca visible, and she asked angrily, "What about our people outside?!"
"All contacts have been lost."
"What do you an?!" Stella’s voice was bursting with rage.
The man looked embarrassed, keeping his head down as he continued to reply, "All of them cannot be reached."
"All?!" Luna exclaid in shock.
So many of them...
How could they "all" lose contact?!
No.
Nora could do it.
This woman manages the largest intelligence organization, with spies everywhere. She just needs to say the word, and anything can be done.
Especially making their people "disappear" without anyone knowing...
Luna, ever since she was born, had never encountered such a big crisis, was now anxiously sweating, seeking Stella’s help, "Sis, what do we do now?!"
"Now, we leave imdiately." Luna panicked for a few seconds, then made a decisive decision, "Once we leave Maze Village, we part ways. You return, and I’ll find a hideout first."
Since Nora ca prepared, the Durant family’s matters have been exposed, and the police will definitely find her quickly — with a clear destination in mind.
