Maisie frowned in doubt. “Do I know you?”
The man glanced at her, “Are you Ms. Vanderbilt?”
Maisie replied, “I am.”
“I’m someone who had been on Mr. Hernandez de Arma’s side. I’ve come here because I heard that Ms.
Vanderbilt is living in the Easton Estate. I’m here on behalf of Sir Hernandez!”
Maisie stood up abruptly when the man mentioned Hernandez’s name. “Where’s my grandfather?”
“He’s still alive, but he’s currently being held captive by someone else,” the man replied.
Maisie glanced at Saydie, and the latter immediately understood what she meant and walked up to the
man. “What evidence do you have to prove that you are on Sir Hernandez’s side?”
“I have his ring in my pocket!”
The bodyguard behind him fumbled in his pocket and found a golden ring that had the emblem of the de
Armas engraved on it.
Saydie took the ring from the bodyguard, took a glimpse at it, then walked up to Maisie. “It’s genuine.”
Maisie took the ring into her hand. She seemed to remember that her grandfather had indeed worn such
a golden ring on his hand.
‘It’s impossible for people in Stoslo not to know about this.
The butler took a glance at it and nodded.
Maisie walked up to the man and asked, “Who has captured my grandfather? And how is he doing now?”
“Sir Hernandez has been injured. We were assaulted that day, and it was the Kents who attacked us.
The rest of us managed to get Sir Hernandez out of the car. But then we encountered another group of
people while we were escaping from the scene. We were all injured and couldn’t resist, so they managed
to take away Sir Hernandez. But before Sir Hernandez got taken away, he gave me the ring and told me
that I must find Ms. Vanderbilt.”
The man answered everything clearly and smoothly, and it did not look like he was lying, as if he had
really experienced what happened back then.
Maisie clenched the ring lightly. “Who are the people who 100k him away?”
The man heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “I don’t know who those people are, but they don’t seem to
be from Stoslo, nor Morwich.
“I wanted to go back to the de Armas originally, but I realized that both the Kents and Prince Roger’s
forces were secretly trying to locate Sir Hernandez. As such, I’ve been hiding all the time and asked
around until I found out that his granddaughter was living in the
Easton Estate. That’s why I’m here.”
Maisie pursed her lips tightly and only asked after a long time, “Apart from asking you to pass the ring to
me, what else did my
grandfather say?”
The man caught his breath and replied, “Sir Hernandez didn’t say much. He only asked me to pass you
the ring.”
Maisie asked the guards to let him go.
Saydie looked over after he left. “Do you need me to tail him?”
“No.” Maisie shook her head. “He doesn’t seem to be lying.”
‘Even Strix and Nolan’s men couldn’t find out my grandfather’s whereabouts. At least, this proves that my
grandfather is still alive at this moment. It’s just that I don’t know how he’s doing and who’s holding him
captive now. It’s not someone from the Metropolis, not
someone hired by Prince Roger, nor was it Nolan’s men. Could there be another hidden force?’
At the East Island Villa…
Quincy whispered something to Nolan beside him. Nolan’s hands, which were flipping through some
documents, stopped all of a sudden, and his eyelids were slightly lifted. “Are you sure?”
“It shouldn’t be fake. Our men have been keeping an eye on Shawn Pattinson and found out that he’s
been very close with the people from Yaramoor recently.” Quincy thought of something and added,
“Roger has lost his finance minister, Robert, and the economy of his force has suffered a huge loss.
Coupled with the turmoil caused by Daniel’s connection with the virus, the Millers have recently been
suppressing Roger intentionally from time to time. He can’t take this alone, and if he hadn’t gotten the
support from someone from Yaramoor, he definitely wouldn’t have so much money to monopolize the
business of antibodies.”
