Chapter 844: Chapter 843

Keira glanced around cautiously and only opened the note after ensuring the curtains were still drawn. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

She was genuinely impressed.

She had barely been here a day and still hadn’t gotten the full picture, yet someone had already managed to bribe the staff and send her a message?

Unfolding the note, she read the line written on it: “It’s too risky to go out. Wait six days.”

The meaning was clear—curfews were strictly enforced here, and going out at night was dangerous. Keira’s presence was far too sensitive, and there were likely eyes on her everywhere she went. God only knew how many people were stationed outside this little house she was staying in.

If it were her calling the shots, with the South family’s cutting-edge technology, she’d have drones and surveillance monitors everywhere.

Keira squashed the temptation to sneak out that night.

It was better to listen to Lewis’s advice and proceed cautiously.

With that thought, she lowered her gaze and glanced out the window again.

The frustration was building. She knew deep down that Jodie South might not even be that far away, and she had waited so long to see her. Yet, she couldn’t do anything except sit and wait.

Lying on the bed, Keira stared at the ceiling.

That night, she barely got any sleep.

The gnawing feeling of being out of control kept her tossing and turning.

What she’d initially thought was simply a family operation turned out to be far more complex. Despite having a population of only five million, this city was essentially functioning like a small country.

The next morning, Keira was up early.

Looking pale and drawn, she stepped outside her room and found Jessica sitting in her wheelchair, her expression unreadable as she stared at Keira’s door.

Jessica’s face cooled the moment Keira appeared, and she turned her gaze toward the doorway with a mocking smirk. “You didn’t sneak out last night?”

Stretching lazily, Keira yawned. “I thought about it, but for your sake, I decided it wasn’t worth the risk.”

Jessica’s eyes darkened.

Matthew, who had been standing nearby, approached them. “Good call. Sometimes patience pays off. Security’s extremely tight. I’ve heard there are infrared scanners out there, so no matter how clever you think you are, you wouldn’t have made it past the walls.”

Infrared?

Keira blinked, surprised, and glanced at Jessica.

By the original plan Jessica had given her, Keira should have snuck out under cover of darkness last night.

But if there were infrared surveillance, there was no way she would have gotten away with it!

Thank God she didn’t leave!

As this realization hit her, Keira turned back to Jessica.

Why hadn’t Jessica warned her about the infrared scanners?

Jessica chuckled. “Of course. These men are the elite guard of the current heir—they’re the South family’s strongest military force. They know everything. Do you really think Jodie and your sister escaped the South family’s grasp all those years ago? No. It was just that the current leader chose to let it slide.”

Jessica’s smile vanished, replaced with a chilling expression. “But the moment you got involved with them, you upset the balance. So, yes, your mother and sister’s suffering? That’s on you.”

Keira shot back, “No, their suffering is because of the South family’s oppressive rules!”

Jessica snorted. “Still as good at shifting blame as you were as a kid. Every time you screwed up, it was always someone else’s fault.”

“Enough,” the captain of the guard interjected, stepping forward. His calm but commanding tone silenced the room. “The leader knows you’ve uncovered the truth about your identity. To ease your doubts, we’ve brought Jodie South here to see you. You’ll have your moment with her.”

Keira’s breath caught in her throat. She turned toward the door in disbelief.

Had she heard him correctly?

She had already resigned herself to not seeing her mother anytime soon. She had made peace with it.

But now, they were saying she could meet her?

Trying to suppress her racing emotions, Keira’s gaze fixed on the door.

And then, she saw her.

A figure stepped into view, one she would recognize anywhere. It was etched into her memory—the woman she had longed for since she was a child.

Jodie South, standing tall and graceful despite the circumstances, exuded a quiet strength that seemed untouched by everything around her.

Step by step, Jodie walked into Keira’s line of sight.
