    ‘Do I really not need to worry?‘ Tiffany lifted her head, her eyes shimmering with unease.


    Jeremy’s call reyed in her inind, saying Richard was at the Azure Sea Royal Family pce. But when she pressed him for details, he dodged her questions. His tone wasced with hesitation and conflict.


    Jeremy, always calm andposed, was now acting evasive. She couldn’t understand why.


    Unanswered questions weighed heavily on her. She could only hope to find rity once she arrived.


    Tiffany lowered her head, remaining silent.


    Meanwhile, Morwen, bound and seated nearby, let out a mockingugh. “Maybe he’s just moved on to someone else.”


    Though her Double Love Poison had failed to work on Richard, it didn’t stop her from stirring trouble.


    Even if her im was baseless<b>, </b>causing trouble to Tiffany brought her a twisted satisfaction. Morwen was smug.


    Tiffany nced at her with a faint smile. “You should worry about yourself. Once we get to the Azure Sea Royal Family, do you think your title as Saintess will still mean anything?”


    Morwen’s smirk froze instantly.


    Since being captured by Tiffany, she’d been held in a dark, damp cell with no way to escape. The confinement had left her -gaunt and withered.


    Under such circumstances, her figure had rapidly wasted away. Her once–radiant appearance was devoid of any former


    charm now.


    If she returned to the Azure Sea Royal Family in this state, her reputation and influence would be shattered. Worse, the Azure Sea King, Deacon Affleck, would surely retaliate once he learned of her attempts to harm Tiffany.


    The thought sent a chill down her spine, silencing her as she retreated into the corner. She kept thinking of a way out. Tiffany easily saw through her intentions, chuckling lightly. Trying to run? Not a chance!‘


    Grabbing a throw pillow, Tiffany’s mind suddenly sparked with an idea. Her gaze lingered on Morwen, and she wore a subtle but devious smile.


    During the castle incidentst time, Morwen had almost exposed the person responsible for poisoning Tiffany’s grandfather, Deacon. But then, Morwen jumped from a window to save herself. A shadowy figure had swooped in to rescue


    her.


    This time, Tiffany wouldn’t let Morwen seed.


    Feeling exhausted, Tiffany yawned and signaled discreetly to June. “I’m tired. Wake me when we arrive.”


    “Understood,” June replied respectfully, watching as Tiffany retreated to her quarters.


    Straightening her posture, June nced at Morwen, her expression faintly displeased. “Take her to the back and lock her up,”


    she ordered.


    “Yes,” two guards answered in unison.


    Consumed with thoughts of escape, Morwen surprisingly remainedpliant and didn’t struggle as two guards grabbed


    her away.

    The private jet was spacious amodating not just Tiffany’s team of guards but also several servants for herfort.


    Morwen was confined to the storage area, where she surveyed her surroundings carefully.


    Time <b>was </b>running out. There were about two hours left beforending. If she didn’t act now, her fate would be sealed in the Azure Sea Royal Family pce. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Morwen looked around and finally saw a rusty piece of metal in an inconspicuous corner of the warehouse.


    It seemed like a remnant of an old soda can. The rusted edges were uneven and mottled.


    With no options, Morwen rolled across the floor, her movements awkward and clumsy due to her bound hands and feet. After considerable effort, she finally flipped herself over and grabbed the metal piece.


    Sweat dripped from her forehead. It was not easy to get it.


    The rope was thick, yet with persistence and the right angle, she began sawing away, inch by inch.


    Morwen closed her eyes and did not dare to stop for a moment.


    Time ticked by. Just as the ne prepared fornding, a drowsy guard wandered into the storage area, yawning as he approached.


    He bent down to pull Morwen up, but as he tugged, she didn’t budge. Surprised, he nced down, only for Morwen <i>to </i>sh him a chillingly sweet smile.


    Suddenly, Morwen hit the guard. The guard went unconscious and fell onto the floor.


    Moving quickly, Morwen stripped him of his uniform. Fortunately, his small stature meant the fit wasn’t too far off. She just needed to adjust the uniform a bit.


    The ne finallynded, and Tiffany was woken up.


    Before she stepped off the ne, all her subordinates disembarked first.


    Morwen blended among them. She had been anxious, worried she might be discovered. But when she nced up, all the guards were standing stiffly in formation, focused solely on guarding the door Tiffany would exit from.


    No one noticed her.


    Morwen let out a quiet sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the distraction, she turned and discreetly slipped into the crowd. She disappeared without anyone realizing it.


    Gaining her freedom felt almost surreal. She couldn’t help but think her escape was too easy.


    But on second thought, after being held captive for so long, it made sense that everyone had let their guard down, assuming she couldn’t stir up trouble. Such carelessness was possible.


    Morwen’s face brimmed with confidence. Her chance had finally arrived. As long as she found the person she was looking for, she swore this time Tiffany would meet her end right here.


    She moved quickly, striding forward with purpose.


    Meanwhile, back at the private jet, Tiffany stepped out leisurely. “Did she run?” she asked.


    June nodded. “Just as you predicted, she ran.”


    “Good” Tiffany had intentionally left an opening for Morwen to escape.


    She added, “Have someone follow her closely. Report any developments to me immediately.”

    After getting off the ne, Tiffany got into the car, and the entourage departed for the Azure Sea Royal Family pce.


    “Yes,”


    At the pce entrance, Jeremy was waiting. Tiffany spotted him from a distance. The moment her <b>car </b>stopped, she stepped out eagerly and asked, “Where is Richard?”


    “You…” Jeremy hesitated before continuing, “I’m not certain where Mr. Hampton is<b>, </b>but I’m sure he’s here<b>, </b>somewhere within the Azure Sea Royal Family pce.”


    “Does anyone else know about this?”


    “No.”


    “Good. Keep it that way.” Tiffany’s anxiety finally dissipated after hearing this confirmation. After giving her instructions, Tiffany seemed to put the matter entirely out of her mind. She said casually, “I’m going to check on my grandpa.<i>” </i>


    Jeremy was caught off guard by her calm demeanor. He quickly caught up, walking beside her. “Mrs. Hampton, aren’t you worried?”


    “Worried about what?” she asked absently.


    “Worried that Mr. Hampton might have another woman by his side? Otherwise, why else would he have disappeared so suddenly?” Jeremy’s voice was light, making it hard to tell whether he was joking or serious.


    Tiffany froze mid–step and slowly turned her head to look at him.


    “Impossible.” Her tone was firm, her gaze steady, and her confidence unwavering. “There’s no chance of that.”


    She believed in Richard, just as Richard believed in her.


    Although Richard had been gone for several days without a trace, Tiffany was only worried about his safety. Her faith in him was unwavering.
