<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The servants immediately scattered when they heard that. They didn’t dare stick around to hear it. Holden’s temper was well–known to be explosive. Gideon, who had led Yvette in, quickly walked out of the east room, holding an elegant box in his hands.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He made his way to the hall, carefully opening a hiddenpartment in the wall, and cing the box inside with a dark expression. There could be no mistake with the contents of this box.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Last night, some bastard had somehow broken into Sheldon’s room. The residence had over a hundred patrols, yet not one person noticed a thing.</font></font>

    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">intruder had broken into the east room and severed Sheldon’s cock, leaving behind a note that simply read: [Such a tiny</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Soren had already examined Sheldon’s condition. It was hopeless. Sheldon’s cock had been severed, meaning he would never be able to have a normal sex life again, and the future of the Jacobs family had been utterly destroyed.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Sheldon had passed out from the pain and hadn’t woken up yet.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Holden was furious. Ever since he found out that Sheldon’s cock couldn’t be reattached, he had locked himself in his study, refusing toe out. They had scoured Dungo Vige overnight, but not a trace of the culprit had been found.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Gideon sighed as he stared at the box, his eyes filled with frustration. ‘Neither Sheldon nor Mr. Jacobs can have children. The Jacobs family’s bloodline is finished.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Meanwhile, in her room, Yvette overheard the servants gossiping quietly by the door. She raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her eyes, and a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. Her gaze deepened.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jeremiah is kind of cute when he’s being petty. His work is thorough. Not bad… she wondered.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With the Jacobs family in chaos, everyone was focused on Sheldon’s condition. The servants knew that Yvette had been brought by Sheldon, so they didn’t darement on hering and going.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The guard watching Bonnie had already been told by Sheldon not to stop Yvette. So, Yvette walked right in through the front door without any trouble.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Bonnie heard the door creak open, she immediately sat up on her bed. Since Yvette had arrived the day before, Bonnie had visibly brightened up.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Janice, who hade to bring food today, noticed this but didn’t think much of it. She just assumed that Bonnie had finallye to terms with things and was feeling better.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Last night, Bonnie had eaten much more than usual. She needed to regain her strength so she could leave Dungo Vige with Yvette.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing Yvette enter, Bonnie eagerly greeted her. “Hey, Yvette, you’re here!” The guard outside leaned in close to the door, hoping to overhear.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette walked over to the table and sat down, giving Bonnie a small nod. She then dipped her finger into the water in the cup and wrote on the table. [Uprian.]</font></font>


    Bonnie immediately understood. She switched to speaking in Uprian, and the two of them conversed in anguage that the guard could not understand.


    He could tell it was Uprian but couldn’t follow what they were saying. Deciding it wasn’t worth eavesdropping, he shrugged and went off to rx elsewhere, figuring that since she was Sheldon’s woman, she wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.


    When the footsteps faded, Yyette spoke in a cool, detached tone I’ve found Holden’s secret chamber. I’ll go check it out with Jeremiah tonight.”


    Bonnie nodded, her excitement barely contained. “I knew it, Yvette. I knew there had to be a secret room in Holden’s house. I wasn’t wrong!”


    Yvette lowered her eyes slightly, her voice calm and steady, “Does Dungo Vige have any business dealings with South East Aploth?”


    Bonnie blinked in confusion, then shook her head. “Yvette, not that I know of. Dungo Vige is so small. Most people here have never left Clusia. There’s no reason for Dungo Vige to have business dealings with South East Aploth.”


    Yvette, still holding her cup, nced at Bonnie, her eyes calm and distant. After a moment, she spoke in a low voice. “Get


    Tomorrow, I’ll find a way to get you out of here.”


    A day was enough for Yvette to uncover the secrets hidden in Dungo Vige. Bonnie immediately nodded. “I understand, Yvette.”


    After a pause, Bonnie scratched her head and awkwardly added, “Yvette, can I bring someone with me when I leave? My sister, Janice is the one I’ve always depended on since we were kids.


    “I really want to take her with me. But don’t worry. I won’t let her be a burden to you.”


    Yvette nced at her indifferently. “Sure.”


    Meanwhile, Janice, holding the phone number Bonnie had given her, hesitated for a long time without dialing. After thinking it over, she tucked the note back into her pocket.


    Janice had realized that now wasn’t the right time to make the call. ‘If I call him, he will find out that Bonnie is getting married. What if something unexpected happens then?‘ she wondered.


    Janice put the note away and started walking home. On her way, in the northwest direction of Dungo Vige, she happened to run into Yvette, who had juste from Bonnie’s ce.


    Janice knew that Sheldon had brought back a beautiful woman, and the news had spread throughout Dungo Vige. Even those who never left their homes knew about it. Janice considered herself the most beautiful woman in Dungo Vige.


    Janice had thought the vigers were exaggerating, that Sheldon’s woman was beautiful, but certainly not more beautiful than she was. But to Janice’s surprise, it was true. Sheldon really had brought back such a stunning woman.


    Jealousy red up inside Janice, and her expression turned disdainful. ‘No matter how beautiful she is, what use is it to be with Sheldon? She’s just a ything. Sheldon would never marry her,‘ she wondered.


    Janice deliberately stepped toward the center of the road, nning to bump into Yvette in the next few steps. She aimed for Yvette’s shoulder, a malicious smile spreading across her face.


    But the next second, things didn’t go as Janice had imagined. Just as she was about to bump into Yvette, she was inexplicably knocked back and sent flying.


    Before Janice even had time to react, she was already lying on the ground in a disheveled heap. Shey sprawled, a look of astonishment on her face, utterly confused.


    ‘What just happened? I was supposed to bump into her, so how did I end up falling down?‘ Janice wondered.


    Of course, Janice had no idea that Yvette was an expert ancient warrior and that anyone trying to approach her had no chance at all.


    Yvette stood looking at Janice, her gaze falling on her face. With her hands in her pockets, her cold, emotionless eyes sent a chilling wave through the air.


    Her voice was indifferent, carrying an undeniable air of intimidation as she casually spoke. “You wanted to bump into me?”
