Chapter 1499 Wandering Out at Night

On the other hand, Olivia had already fallen asleep. She thought the current situation was better than she had imagined.

Initially, she thought that with Joseph's level of perversion, he would torture her severely after bringing her here. But she didn't expect that he would only ask them to help him conceive a child.

Although her master had leaked this research and would be pursued by the Mastar government, they were still safe for now.

Since Joseph cared so much about that woman, she could make use of that.

Though her children weren't with her, she thought they should be safe for now.

However, she was always worried about Jewel, not knowing whether she was here or if she had been brought to Double Dragon Court.

After all, Joseph saw Jewel as a deserter, and it was very likely that he would bring her back to the Double Dragon Court to set an example, which would be troublesome.

She lay on the bed, lost in thought. Perhaps she fell asleep and had a dream, or maybe she was too worried and started hearing things.

What's wrong with me? Why did I seem to hear Jewel's voice?

She was startled, and her eyes instantly widened as she quickly got up, wanting to listen carefully.

But she didn't hear anything.

About the agonizing and desperate cry just now… Why did it sound so much like Jewel's voice?

She put on her clothes and planned to investigate that matter.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she was stopped by two men. "Where are you going?"

Olivia said, "I can't sleep and want to go out for a walk."

The bodyguards coldly retorted, "Where do you think you're going? You're not allowed to go anywhere without Mr. Joseph's orders."

Olivia didn't say anything and obediently returned to her room.

Twenty minutes later.

She climbed out of the window.

Then, she arrogantly hummed at the men at the door. Did they still want to stop her?

She would just go through the window since she couldn't go through the main door.

The cry just now made her uneasy.

She kept having the feeling that something had happened to Jewel and wanted to go find her. Maybe she was also here.

Then, she left the room and followed the direction of the sound.

Even though the tower was not small, there were patrols everywhere, and she couldn't tell which way was which after going around in circles.

The only thing she could be sure of was that it wasn't the place they went to today.

Bodyguards patrolled everywhere inside the tower, with a wave of patrols passing by every one or two minutes.

Perhaps Joseph was also on guard against Eugene and didn't dare to put his guard down.

Being pregnant, she was not as agile as before and couldn't react as quickly as she could before.

Just as she had just evaded a wave of patrolling bodyguards and had only taken a few steps, she ran into another wave head-on.

It was a direct collision where both parties had a stare-off.

I'm finished!

She couldn't hide anymore.

So, she decided not to hide and stood boldly in place.

A group of patrolling bodyguards stood in front of her.

"Who permitted you to come out? Don't you know you're not allowed to wander around at night?"

Olivia pretended to be flustered. "I wasn't wandering around. I heard someone screaming just now and was scared, so I came out to take a look."

The head of the bodyguards said, "You're scared, yet you still came out to investigate? Is that something you should be investigating?"

Olivia said, "Wouldn't I be even more restless staying in the room? Isn't it better to investigate what that was all about? Who was that? Is she still screaming?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't," he cautioned. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She explained, "I can't sleep even with the slightest sound, and I have to conduct a medical examination for Miss Houghton on Mr. Joseph's behalf. Inadequate rest will definitely affect the examination. Besides, weren't there rumors that this place is haunted? It's better to find out what it was, whether it's a human or a ghost. That way, I can be mentally prepared and not be so afraid."

Her soft tone made the people in front of her lose their tempers.
