I escaped from Prime Minister Welch and I can even feel the throbbing pain in my wrist right now. It’s all his fault; how could he be so cruel to such a beautiful foreigner? Janet cursed him countless times along the way back. Peter Welch has managed to secure his position as the prime minister of Hawke Kingdom thanks to his unconventional methods and exceptional skills. It is no wonder that the old man Corey is so afraid of him and now, I have finally had a taste for myself. I’m not sure why, but when I mentioned his lover, Peter’s expression contorted into a horrible grimace and he increased his strength considerably. It looks like his lover is his weakness.
Lara had no idea how Janet escaped from Prime Minister Welch’s grasp without killing him. “By the way, I have to contact Desire to stop her from sending the troops out,” Lara commented after a pause and she took her cell phone out.
Janet walked into the room and she raised her brows. “Did you actually alert Desire?”
“Well, that’s all because I was worried about you!” Lara chuckled in embarrassment. I was panicking because I was so sure that Janet had been captured.
Janet was rendered speechless when she heard that. She took off her wig and brooch after walking into the bathroom.
“Desire, Janet is back,” Lara’s excited voice could be heard from outside. “Also, do inform that old man Corey.”
Janet’s expression stiffened when she heard that from the bathroom. I can’t believe that Lara was planning to request Corey to move military forces if I hadn’t returned. Ha! Forget about the fact that Corey doesn’t have any military power, I am sure he would not even want to face Prime Minister Welch. After all, he is so scared of the latter. Janet burst into a fit of quiet giggles while walking out of the bathroom.
“Lara, what were you thinking? How could you expect Corey to send troops?” Janet teased her.
Lara wasn’t annoyed at all; instead, she felt like laughing. “Not only did I contact Corey, I even tried contacting your man.”
Mason? Janet frowned slightly. “He isn’t in Sandfort, though.”
“Exactly; I phoned the Lowry Residence and the servant mentioned that he is away on a business trip. You can’t imagine how anxious I was.” Lara raised her brows in defiance. “Fortunately, your man had something else to attend to. Otherwise, imagine how worried he’d be if he learned about what happened.”
“I know.” Janet seemed helpless. He will try to stop me if he knows about my plans. However, since we are in a relationship, I suppose I should not hide my identity anymore. Besides, when I went to the basement previously, I saw a map of the Hawke Kingdom on his office desk. I suppose he is investigating Prime Minister Welch too. However, I have finally had a taste of the prime minister’s true capabilities today and he’s not any Tom, Dick and Harry. It looks like I’ll have to warn Mason when I have the chance.
On the other end, Prime Minister Welch hesitated after listening to Shadow 1’s words, so he let his guard down slightly. However, she took the opportunity to raise her leg and kicked his abdomen unexpectedly.
Although he had firm and sculpted abdominal muscles, the pointed high heels felt painful when it dug into his flesh. His face contorted in pain and Shadow 1 escaped right under his nose. In the end, the woman was fearless and she slid down from the second floor via the railing.
The first floor was crowded and if he were to shoot, the crowd would end up in chaos. He was also afraid that citizens of the Hawke Kingdom might act recklessly by starting to shoot and hurt other buyers.
After learning about the incident, Sean led a group to chase after her. However, he returned empty-handed after half an hour.
One could easily imagine how cunning she is, especially since even Sean can’t capture her. I might not have captured her but at least I know about Shadow 1 now. If I continue to investigate, I should be able to find out who hired her. Prime Minister Welch suddenly felt a splitting headache coming on. I feared for my life when Shadow 1 mentioned my lover just now… I was so afraid that my babe might find me in a horrible state. I am scared that she would feel sad over my death and that I will not get to see her ever again. Janet has shackled me to her firmly; she has me wrapped around her finger!
On the other hand, it was a different situation in the Markovia’s President Office’s conference room.
