Aria took a deep breath, "Where’s my phone?"
"You didn’t have a phone on you when you arrived."
Aria felt even more desperate. The two bodyguards in front of her didn’t budge at all. After a few seconds of tense standoff, Aria strode back to the dining room.
She wouldn’t starve herself; it wasn’t worth it to spite Alexander Knox and harm herself.
Aria sat in the dining room, venting her frustration as she devoured the food.
After finishing, she walked up to the two bodyguards blocking her and asked coldly, "Can I leave now?"
The two bodyguards nodded, and moved aside on their own accord.
Aria strode up the stairs.
At this mont, Alexander Knox was sitting in the study, while Oliver Parker stood in front of the desk. After reporting on work, Oliver imdiately added, "President, they said on the South Island that Miss Richardson wants to see you."
Alexander looked down at the docunt, his expression unwavering, "Let her enjoy her ti."
Oliver tentatively asked, "So, will you see her?"
Alexander glanced up at him, his deep gaze filled with inscrutable emotions.
Alexander smirked coldly in his heart.
See him? What would she say after seeing him? That she wants to leave? Then go see Wyatt Lewis?
Alexander flipped through the docunts in his hand, shook his head, and chuckled, "No."
The next day.
Aria waited all night for news, tossing and turning without closing her eyes. In the end, a servant told her that Alexander Knox wouldn’t be coming and just wanted her to enjoy her ti.
Enjoy, my ass!
Aria cursed Alexander Knox a thousand tis over in her mind.
Who goes out to relax but is forced, without any freedom, not to ntion she didn’t have a phone, basically not allowed to contact the outside world.
Aria looked at the cushion in her hand, as if seeing Alexander Knox’s vile face, she punched it hard a few tis.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Aria cursed repeatedly, yet still didn’t feel relieved.
The servant watching Aria couldn’t help but twitch the corner of their mouth, a bit doubtful of her ntal state.
After venting for a while, Aria threw the cushion aside, propped her elbow on her knee, and held her chin deeply sighing.
She hadn’t returned for almost a day and a half, her mother must be worried sick about her.
Thinking of this, Aria beca even more anxious, stood up and paced back and forth on the floor.
But thinking about not returning for a day and a half, if they didn’t know her situation, they must have called the police.
Alexander Knox wouldn’t be that stupid, he probably told them so news about her, made so excuse to brush it off.
Aria sat back on the sofa, sighing.
The servant, seeing her like this, also beca anxious, "Miss Richardson, if you’re bored, you can go out for a walk. Everything on this island is at your disposal."
Aria’s brow furrowed slightly, as if she rembered sothing, suddenly stood up, "Are there yachts here? I want to take a yacht."
The servant thought for a mont, perhaps Aria’s expression revealed her intention too clearly, the servant added, "We need to check with Young Master Knox whether he agrees."
The only glimr of hope on Aria’s face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of dejection.
"You said everything on the island is at my disposal, yet I have to check with Alexander Knox for everything, don’t you think your words contradict themselves?" Aria raised an eyebrow and asked.
The servant was montarily speechless, recalling that Young Master Knox did indeed say that as long as she stayed on the island, she could play with anything, including yachts.
Rembering that there are bodyguards arranged everywhere on the island, even if she wanted to leave, it simply wasn’t possible. The servant nodded and said, "Then please wait a mont, I’ll arrange it for you."
Aria’s eyes lit up, "Okay."
As long as there’s a boat, she has a chance to leave, not completely trapped in this house without any opportunity.
As soon as the servant arranged everything, Aria couldn’t wait to get on the yacht, but the scene in front of her shattered her newfound hope.
Besides the driver, there were six bodyguards emotionlessly standing at the four corners of the boat, with two standing next to the driver, as if afraid she would knock out the driver and steer the boat away herself.
Six bodyguards, she had no chance of escaping.
Aria clenched her fist.
The servant following behind her saw her pause, stepped forward to ask, "Miss Richardson, what’s wrong?"
Aria gritted her teeth, "Why am I not alone, why are there so many bodyguards with ?"
"For your safety!"
Ha!
Might as well just say it’s to watch her, prevent her from escaping.
That’s enough.
"I don’t like having people follow ."
"I’m sorry, Miss Richardson, that’s not possible."
"..."
Aria left the boat with a darkened face.
...
With Aria not ho, Isla Sue was restless at ho, wringing her hands and pacing anxiously around the living room.
Every ti she thought of Aria alone in an unknown place, her heart felt empty, and she couldn’t relax at all.
Having no other options, Isla picked up her bag and went out.
At the Lewis Family, Luke, Willow, and Baby were taken by Waylon Lewis to Hope Williams, and Alitzel Williams was also quite bored at ho.
A servant ca in to report, "Madam, there’s a lady outside with the last na Sue wanting to see Young Madam."
Alitzel Williams straightened up, murmuring, "A lady with the last na Sue?"
Isla Sue? Aria’s mother!
Alitzel imdiately said, "Invite her in."
Isla Sue rushed in, Alitzel Williams stood up, a smile on her face, "Mrs. Richardson, are you here to see Little Hope? But Little Hope hasn’t been in Emperor Capital recently."
Isla Sue frowned tightly. She originally wanted to ask Hope for help with Aria, but with Hope not here, Isla suddenly felt at a loss, "Then when will Little Hope be back?"
"That’s hard to say."
Seeing Isla Sue’s anxious expression, Alitzel asked, "Are you looking for her because of an urgent matter?"
Isla Sue nodded.
Alitzel pulled Isla onto the sofa, "Don’t worry, if you don’t mind, you can tell , maybe I can help you? Oh, and what about Aria? I saw that incident the night before last online too, is Aria alright?"
Isla furrowed her brow and said, "It’s about Aria, sothing happened. Aria was sent sowhere by Alexander Knox yesterday, and he said he wouldn’t bring her back until the day of the engagent party. Alexander is headstrong, and Aria is stubborn too, I’m afraid sothing might happen to her."
After hearing Isla Sue’s words, Alitzel furrowed her brow and asked, "He didn’t give you a heads-up before sending her away?"
"He told us after she was already sent away, not even saying where she went, claiming Aria went willingly."
Isla beca more anxious as she spoke, "But I know my daughter, she couldn’t possibly have gone willingly, it’s clear she was forced by him. Now we can’t find her, and we don’t know what to do."
Alitzel slamd the table, "Shaless! Co on, I’ll go with you to the Knox Family and get her back."
