Chapter 197
Ophelia hid by the door to the study, clearly hearing everything Jonathan said.
After speaking, Jonathan walked over to a wall and gently turned the antler mounted on it.
With a “Click, “the wall immediately indented and slowly opened like two doors.
Seeing this, Ophelia thought, I guessed it correctly; there is a closer passage in the study
When she noticed the antler ornament on the desk carlier, which was exactly like the one on the wall, she suspected there might be a hidden door.
Instead of opening the door herself and risking setting off some mechanism that would alert anyone, she found it was better. to let Jonathan open it himself.
Knowing Jonathan’s character, she knew Jonathan would definitely want to personally capture her.
Suddenly, the black cat leisurely strolled to her feet, tilting its head as it looked at her from behind the door panel.
Ophelia lowered her eyes, meeting the black cat’s gaze. When she looked up again, Jonathan had already closed the hidden door and was striding towards her.

Barely conscious, Phoebe’s pupils constricted at the sound of the explosion, a hint of madness showing in her eyes. She knew that landmines were buried around the area, and a small misstep could result in being blown up.
She thought, ‘Does Ophelia set off the minefield while trying to get away? If so, she’s probably blown to pieces. This thought made all of Phoche’s pain disappear instantly.
The helicopter approached and hovered a few meters above the ground. Kenneth jumped down and landed smoothly, his black trench coat billowing around him.
