Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Iris

"Miss Yates? Miss Yates!"

Servants and bodyguards were frantically searching for Iris. Thick white clouds from the fire extinguishers billowed through the room, contrasting sharply with the dark smoke from the flames. Visibility was incredibly low, making it impossible for them to find her.

Meanwhile, a figure hiding in the corner pressed closely against the wall and moved swiftly toward the door. Once she finally slipped out of the room, she gasped desperately for air.

She had almost suffocated in there!

Iris wiped her face, intentionally ruffled her hair to look even more disheveled, and sprinted down the stairs. Right now, the staff was entirely preoccupied with fighting the fire and searching for her. This chaos provided the perfect cover for her plan.

Without hesitation, Iris bolted toward the gardens. She had to find out what was hidden in those woods—why they had forbidden her from going there, and what they were so desperate to keep from her!

"Hey! Didn’t you hear about the fire? Why aren’t you helping put it out?"

Someone passing by had spotted her and yelled out. Unable to see her face clearly in the dark, the man assumed she was one of the estate’s maids.

Iris quickly pitched her voice higher and replied, "Miss Yates is missing! I’m out here looking for her!"

The man gasped in shock. "Then I’ll help you search."

Iris’s heart gave a heavy THUMP. She couldn’t let him tag along, or her entire plan would be exposed.

"You check over there!" Iris pointed in the opposite direction. "We’ll cover more ground if we split up."

"Good idea." The man didn’t hesitate; he immediately turned and ran off.

Iris let out a quiet sigh of relief and darted deeper into the garden without wasting another second. There were lamps here, but they cast a dim light. Since everyone was busy putting out the fire and searching for her inside the manor, the grounds were completely deserted.
