Chapter 1090
Narrowing her eyes, Genevieve glared at him. “My bodyguard is just next door. Aren't you worried that I will kill you before you escape?”
“Do you think I'm not aware of what a coward you are? Killing just one person traumatized you for a long time.” Zephyr sniggered in response. “If you had the guts to do so, you would've gotten Armand to have his men find me instead of coming to Lostaria in person. The reason you're here is to switch places with Johanna. If I lose my life, hers will be forfeited too.”
Genevieve took a deep breath before continuing, “Let me see Johanna.”
All Zephyr did was pick up the pen on the table and write down a string of numbers on the card, which he subsequently stuffed into Genevieve's hand.
“Give me a call once you have decoded the numbers. Good night.” Zephyr left the moment he finished. Once the door was closed, the room fell silent as if no one had entered before.
Genevieve crushed the card in her hand as a grim expression descended upon her face.
When it came to playing mind games, she was no match for Zephyr. Furthermore, he held collateral in his hands, whereas she had nothing.
Also, she had no visibility as to Johanna's current condition.
Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Zephyr strutted out the front door to a waiting car, where the hotel's doorman swiftly opened the door on his behalf.
Once he settled into his seat, he gave his forehead a rub. “How is she doing?”
The driver—cognizant of who he was asking about—replied, “Ms. Joule has been doing well over the last few days. She busied herself in her workshop from dawn till dusk and even got the housekeeper to buy her fabric. The housekeeper also reported that she would return to her room after dinner and go to bed promptly at eleven.”
Zephyr couldn't help but chuckle at the report, thinking that she must be having a decent time with him away for work.
One hour later, the car arrived on the city's outskirts and drove into a dense forest. It wasn't until it arrived at a brightly lit mansion that it finally came to a stop.
Although it was late, the housekeeper waited up for Zephyr to let him in and take his coat before retiring for the night.
The first thing Zephyr did was head upstairs to Johanna's workshop.
