Chapter 911
Chapter 910:
Damian caught the key after a clumsy grab. “Understood p>
He wanted to ask why she was heading out in the middle of the night, but by the time he found his voice, the door had already closed behind her. Since last evening, she had been nothing but a shadow—coming and going without warning, refusing assistance, never giving him a chance to speak. The questions piled up inside him, unanswered.
Unaware of Damian’s restless thoughts, Elliana climbed onto another motorcycle waiting outside and gunned the engine, the machine carrying her straight toward the Henderson estate.
The highways were empty at that hour, and her bike sliced through the silence until, just past two in the morning, she reached the front gates of the Henderson family estate.
When she pressed the bell, its sharp chime cut through the quiet night.
A butler answered soon after, his face composed and his eyes curious.
“I need to speak with Charles,” Elliana said, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
The butler’s eyes flicked over her outfit. She wore a full set of fitted black riding gear, her helmet resting securely under one arm. Perched on the powerful motorcycle with her slender frame and long legs still astride it, she stood out beneath the moonlight like a dark, stunning vision arriving at their doorstep. A strikingly beautiful stranger arriving at such an hour to see the young master…
The butler quickly drew his own conclusions. Since Milena had performed the surgery that healed Charles’s legs, a new crop of admirers had started showing up. Tonight, he figured, was just another admirer in line.
The butler’s lips curved into a polite smile as he mistook Elliana for just another one of Charles’s admirers. She was striking—graceful, poised, and undeniably beautiful. Among all the young women who came seeking Charles, she stood out. But it didn’t matter. Charles never entertained visitors like her. Thus, the butler assumed the responsibility of turning her away fell squarely on his shoulders.

Before he could speak, Elliana’s voice cut through the air. “Please, inform Charles immediately. I need to speak with him—it’s urgent p>
The butler, unaware of the real situation, wasn’t convinced by her words. Every single girl who knocked on their door swore she had urgent business with Charles. He was completely sick of hearing that same line over and over again. Honestly, he wished they could at least try to be more creative with their excuses.
“Miss, Mr. Henderson is out of town on business. He won’t be back for quite some time. You’ll have to come back another day,” the butler said smoothly, his lie rolling off his tongue with practiced ease.
Charles wasn’t home? Disappointment flickered across Elliana’s face, but she quickly regrouped. If Charles wasn’t available, his parents would have to do. “Then I need to speak with his parents instead. Can you please tell Mr. and Mrs. Henderson that I am here to see them p>
The butler’s eyes widened in genuine shock. Now that was definitely a first. In all his years of dealing with Charles’s frantic admirers, not one of them had ever been brazen enough to ask for a direct meeting with Gatlin and Eloisa. Too bad it would be a completely pointless strategy. Gatlin and Eloisa never intervened in Charles’s personal affairs. Even if they happened to adore a particular girl, it wouldn’t make the slightest difference if Charles himself wasn’t interested. Anyone who thought they could win him over by going through his parents was just fooling themselves.
Armed with that knowledge, the butler kept his polite smile firmly in place as he delivered his second lie of the evening. “Unfortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson are also out for the evening. I’m afraid no one is available to see you p>
