“That’s right. If only that was the case, then Dylan would not have attacked the Fenderson family in such a crazy manner!”
Xara said.
Dylan was the name of Gerald’s father.
Gerald’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her mention his father’s name. He said nothing and listened to Xara quietly.
“It was because something else happened after that incident…”
“After that, the master of the Crawford family—Dylan put Peter under house arrest. But Peter was worried sick about me and my daughter. So, one night, he said that he wanted to elope with me. Queta was already born at that time and we were supposed to lay low at someplace where no one could find us and where we would lead a proper life!”
Xara said…
It was the night when Xara brought her maid—Xenia to go and find a hotel room in a hurry.
Although she had nothing to do with the Fenderson family following her self-imposed exile, the Fenderson family still hired somebody to keep an eye on her because of some complicated issue.
It was raining heavily that night. Xara was still holding her daughter, and she went to meet Peter according to the route which they had planned out.
After all, they needed to hide from the Fenderson family.
They left in a hurry. That was when Xara left her jade pendant as collateral for the stay at the hotel since she had no cash on her.
And the person who sent the money over the next day was the personal driver who Peter sent over.
At first, everything went according to plan. The next step in their plan was to meet each other in Merry City.
But unexpectedly, an accident happened on their way there.
Something happened to Peter.
He disappeared from the radar following that unknown incident.
The driver confirmed that Peter did arrive at Merry City. But she failed to contact him nonetheless.
Peter went missing just like that.
