NovelEnglishChapter 112
Abbie glanced at her phone, reading a text from Laurence that said, "Baby, I'm waiting for you in the room. Hurry
up, don't keepwaiting. After tonight, you'll be the third female lead in this film." She bit her lip, feeling a mix
of humiliation and resentment, but ultimately resigned herself to her fate as she walked toward the room
mentioned in the text.
Meanwhile, Felicia was wandering through the maze-like palace, struggling to find an exit.
To make matters worse, she had taken a wrong turn.
At the end of this particular corridor was a heavy black door with no other way out!
She stood frozen, debating whether to run back, but the sound of approaching footsteps from the bodyguards
made it clear they were closing in on her.
Earlier, while fleeing, she had caught a glimpse of Dexter and Myra leaving, following closely behind Arnold.
They had all seen the picture of Kayla's wrist after she had cut it, and they were rushing to her aid. This included
Sebastian, who had promised to take her away if needed.
Biting her lip, Felicia realized she had no choice but to face them head-on.

In her frantic state, she failed to notice the intricate, ancient patterns on the door behind her, which radiated an
air of mystery and danger in the dim light...
Suddenly, the door swung open, and a long, powerful hand reached out, pulling her inside...
Felicia was momentarily disoriented, and before she could react, a hot body pressed against her, pinning her
against the door. Then, a raspy voice whispered urgently in her ear. "Help me, and I'll repay you."
Felicia's eyes widened in shock, and before she could protest, her lips were silenced.
Damn it!
The bodyguards were closing in on the corridor, only to find the area empty.
"What the hell? Where is she?"
"I saw her run in here! There's no other way out. Could she really have jumped out a window?"
The group of bodyguards began to bicker.
What they didn't know was that just one door away, Felicia was pinned against the wall, and all her cries were
muffled in the darkness of the room.
The lead bodyguard shouted, "Shut up! Keep looking! There's another door here. She might have gone through
it!"
At this, a few bodyguards moved to try and force the door open.
Just then, the manager of Pristine
Vol
Hall, Larry Pearson, arrived with ssubordinates and blocked their way. "Gentlemen, this is a private area
belonging to my boss. No one is allowed to enter! Please leave!"
The bodyguards snickered. "Do you know who is hosting today's banquet? The Lawson family is the foremost of
the four prestigious families in Khogend! We've lost Mrs. Lawson. If we don't find her, fear you won't be able to
handle the consequences!"
If it were anyone else, the mention of the Lawson family would surely make them think twice.
However, Larry merely smiled and replied, "If you dare to trespass, | fear it's the Lawson family being unable to
handle the consequences."

His casual words carried an unmistakable weight of intimidation.
"That's a bold statement!" The bodyguard said this out loud, but inwardly, he was hesitant, so he gave his
companion a knowing glance, who then quickly dialed Matthew. When Matthew received the call, he was furious,
shouting several curses. "How can you not keep an eye on a young lady? What good are you if you can't manage
that?" While he was furious, he still had enough sense to remain rational.
The identity of the owner behind Pristine Hall was a mystery. No one knew who controlled and owned the place.
What was clear was that this place
symbolized wealth and status, and many influential figures from Khogend held their weddings,
birthday celebrations, and banquets
here.
Because of this, Pristine Hall had attracted many jealous eyes, and numerous companies had attempted to take
it over, all of which had ended in disastrous failure.
This proved that the owner behind Pristine Hall was a mysterious and formidable figure!
It was especially so from the way this person disregarded the Lawson family. It suggested that they might very
well be a powerful force from Seldvale.
