Chapter 82: Secret Cave

Master Chen rubbed the spot between his brows.

’’One made us believe she hated men until we realized that she had spawned a wild child somewhere. Now, the other ran away from home and wild men are breaking into our mansion, specifically inside her room. Who knows if she has a child too?"

’’Alice!" the man snapped.

’’Shout all you want. Don’t you low-key agree with me?" Alice frowned, ’’Also, did you find Diana’s whereabouts?’’

’’No. She has discarded everything we could potentially use to track her,’’ Master Chen said with a straight face.

’’Whatever,’’ Alice was starting to have a spitting headache so she turned to leave, ’’Let her survive in the wilderness with that wild child then she will come begging for us to take her in once her adrenaline is gone. As for Daisy, that girl better not show her face,’’ with those words, she was gone.

Master Chen was about to leave too but suddenly a thought crossed his mind after hearing the mention of his elder daughter.

He walked towards the bedside table and picked up the lamp. A glint flashed across his green eyes when he did not see anything except for the plain table surface.

He turned around and left the room.

Once he was gone, one side of the huge bed moved as the sturdy wood slid to the side, revealing a rectangular opening.

Nobody knew that while her room was being renovated, Diana had secretly bribed someone to prepare this secret hollow hiding inside her bed.

While it looked uncomfortable from the outside but it was like a cave from the inside with books, laptop, snacks, and other materials she used while writing.

Nobody knew about this secret place other than Diana.

Except for one person.

One hand appeared at the entrance followed by another as someone pushed themselves out of the place.

Hallway through, the person flipped their body, revealing a bewitching face as they pushed themselves completely out of the bed.

Unruly ash blonde hair framed the handsome face and a pair of emerald eyes stared at the ceiling coldly.

The handsome man pushed himself to his feet and stared at the mess in the bedroom for one last time before he kicked the wooden opening of the bed closed.

’Click’ The bed was locked.

He adjusted the collar of his black leather jacket and stepped out of the room.

A guard who was running towards the store room to do another round of checking abruptly halted in his tracks and glanced at the stairs.

The infamous thief descended the stairs casually amidst the chaos that ensued inside the mansion because of him.

He walked like he was taking a stroll in the mansion.

The words ’Mission accomplished, huge reward’ flashed in the guard’s head as he sprinted towards the thief in a hurry.

But despite his rushed movements, he was cautious enough to take out his pistol and aim it towards the man, ’’Stand right there.’’

As the man stopped walking, the guard grabbed the person’s arms in a deadlock and smirked victoriously, his nose thrust in the clouds and his face spelled ’SMUG’ in seven languages.

Nobody could capture this pretty boy thief but he did. A better future awaited him now.

But gradually, his excitement started fading. Why isn’t this pretty boy thief panicking?

’’You should have stopped there...’’ the pretty boy thief said suddenly, confusing the hell out of him by those words.

’’What?" He could not understand what this guy was talking about.

But his confusion turned into horror when the man suddenly flipped him around and snatched the gun from his hand before hitting the back of his head with it.

The strength in those frail-looking hands made him stagger.

The guard wanted to scream for help but it was too late and as his consciousness faded, he saw the pretty boy thief who still looked as calm but there was a hint of disdain in those green eyes as he spoke—

’’You had a weapon. You should have aimed it from a distance instead of stepping into my territory,’’ the man kicked the guard down from the gap between the railing of the last two stairs

And then the guard was dragged to the dark space under the staircase.

A leather jacket fell on the floor, followed by a black T-shirt, and ripped jeans.

After a few seconds, a handsome guard stepped into the living room and casually walked away.

A few other people stopped in their tracks when they saw the unfamiliar face but noticing his uniform, they thought that he must be a guard from Master Chen’s private group of bodyguards. So, they bowed to him and retreated respectfully.

Near the entrance of the servant quarters.

’’It’s past midnight already,’’ an old maid looked at the young girl who picked up cleaning materials.

The young maid nodded, ’’I know but you know Madam Chen hates dirt. The whole mansion is in a mess after the guards came in to look for that thief so they assigned us to clean different portions of the mansion. I am assigned to the second entrance of the mansion.’’

After coaxing her mother, the young maid went to the second entrance of the mansion.

The place was empty and combined with the thought that a thief was still inside the mansion, she was suddenly wary.

She did care about her safety but she accepted this command because even if she stayed in her room to protect herself from the thief, then no one would protect her from Madam Chen’s wrath when the woman woke up to the sight of the messy mansion. Either way, she was not safe so she sucked up to it for her salary.

The sound of airy footsteps made the hair on her body stand on full alert.

She hugged a pillar for her dear life when the lights in the dimly-lit hallway started flickering.

The cleaning things in her hand dropped and just as she started to run away, she lost her balance.

She thought she was going to fall to death right there but an arm wrapped around her waist.
