Abigail''s face was etched with anxiety. "I heard those men talking... they said that after we''re moved, we''ll have to start ''entertaining clients''..."
The phrase alone sent a chill down her spine.
"I see." Aurora''s expression flickered, but there was no panic in her eyes. "We''re finally leaving this ce."
Abigail stared at her, shocked. "Finally? Aurora, do you know what that means?"
"It means... we finally have a chance to escape," Aurora replied.
Abigail was stunned. "Escape?"
A profound light appeared in Aurora''s eyes as she turned to Abigail.
"With the security here, we couldn''t get out even if we had wings. If they kept us locked up here forever, we''d never leave unless someone rescued us. Only by being moved do we stand a chance."
The Williams family was still frantically searching for Aurora, while Ste Cameron went to work as usual.
No one knew where King Wright had hidden her. No matter how hard the Williams family and Sellers looked, there was no news of Aurora.
Her disappearance had also caused Jonathan Williams and Lauretta Chapman''s engagement to be postponed. After all, it would look terrible for Jonathan to be celebrating his engagement while his younger sister was missing, possibly dead.
Recently, Ste''s momentum had grown so rapidly that her approval ratings were now on par with Jonathan''s. He could no longer sit back and do nothing.
Just as Ste had predicted, Jonathan began using hiswork and connections to sabotage her projects.
During lunch, Ste and Abby Murphy sat in a restaurant, chatting as they ate.
"I thought they''d be too busy looking for Aurora to bother with us," Abby said.
"They''ll do everything they can to find Aurora," Ste replied, "but they won''t give up everything else for her sake."
Abby said sarcastically, "Guess they weren''t as close as they seemed."
"Of course there''s some familial love," Ste said, "but it only goes so far."
Abby rested her chin on her hand. "Star, where do you think Aurora is right now? Could she be in Germany?"
Ste shook her head. "She''s not in
UT
Solmaris, and it''s highly unlikely she''s in Germany. King Wright must know the Williams family is watching Germany closely. Right now, everyone knows he''s behind t but without proof, they can''t touch him. But if Aurora were to show up in Germany, it would give the Williams family the leverage they need. Whether they used it as a pretext to assassinate the king or impose business sanctions, no one could object or legitimately help him."
"I''ve disliked that Aurora for a long time," Abby said. "I hope she suffers a little this time."
Then, as if remembering something, Abby looked at Ste.
"Star, do you think King Wright... might kill Aurora in a fit of rage?"
"I don''t know why King Wright hates Aurora so much, but Prince Wright was killed by Joshua Gardner. If he''s going to kill anyone, it should be Joshua. As for Aurora... if possible, King Wright would probably prefer to torture her. However, judging by the attack at the airport, it''s not impossible that they''d resort to
extreme measures if they couldn''t capture their target."
Speaking of the airport incident, Abby was clearly gloating.
"That King Wright is certainly resourceful. He injured Leonard Lerman and kidnapped Aurora Killing two birds with one stone. It''s so satisfying."
