Archer said amused, "You think you'd be happy if he was here?"
Elaine nodded and said seriously, "It's fun, I want to see him."
"And I don't know whether to say you're simple, or brainless."
Elaine pouted unhappily, "You're scolding me again."
Archer smiled at her perfunctorily and said as he walked forward, "I'm complimenting you."
Elaine hurried to follow: "So ...... then you haven't answered me, is he here."
"Not in."
Elaine froze, followed by, "When is he coming over ah, I can wait ......"
Archer paused in his steps and turned his head to look at him, "Really want to know where he is?"
"Sure."
Archer raised an eyebrow and said unhurriedly, "Go out the side door, there's a Cayenne, you go straight in, tell the driver that I sent you to Darnell and he'll take you there."
Before Elaine could raise the smile on her face, she worried again, "But what if someone finds out?"
"Don't worry, everyone in the James family is on their own now, no one will bother you."
Elaine's smile unfolded instantly and she didn't bother to ask the James family what was going on. She responded and was ready to leave when she was called by Archer again.
He said, "Before you go, you have to be mentally prepared in advance, don't say that I, as a cousin, did not remind you."
Elaine didn't quite understand: "Huh?"
Archer slowly spoke: "You will know when you go, that is, Darnell's world."
Not waiting for Elaine to react, he added, "Go ahead, if you regret or get scared in the middle of the day, let the driver take you home, and I won't tell Darnell about what happened today."
Elaine pursed her lips gently, "So can you ...... help me go check on Natasha later, she's here alone ......"
Archer waved a hand at her and nodded.
Elaine smiled, said thank you, and turned to run toward the side door.
When she got into the car, she explained her intention to the driver, who nodded slightly.
Elaine lowered the window and let out a breath.
Her hand on her knee tightened slightly, a little nervous.
It was apprehension about the unknown world.
After half an hour, the car stopped in front of a private club.
The driver said, "Miss James will go straight in."
Elaine nodded and pushed open the car door.
She forgot to bring her umbrella, and the cool raindrops fell on her face. Elaine shivered from the cold, but luckily the rain was not too heavy at the moment, so she ran into the clubhouse in a few steps.
The clubhouse was surrounded by Darnell's people, who saw Elaine and did not react, just stood in their places.
Elaine therefore gave up on the idea of asking for directions.
After she took a few steps inside, she heard a subtle sound coming from the distance and immediately moved forward.
Inside the clubhouse, there is a long corridor with a Chinese style pavilion at the end.
The eaves on both sides were dripping with rain, flooding into the small lake.
Elaine vaguely saw the figure of Darnell, and just as she was about to go over, her eyes fell on the bloodied man in front of him.
Even though the man's features had been covered with blood, Elaine recognized him immediately as an uncle of the James family who had held her as a child.
Elaine stopped in her tracks, her breathing slightly stalled.
