The group left the cave. To further confirm the mineral vein, Richard decided they would camp outside for the night. That suited Lillian perfectly it gave her more time to think of a plan.
To avoid being around people she found intolerable, Lillian told Richard she wanted to walk around in the forest. “Have you thought it through? I can’t escape anyway. Your men already took all my communication devices, and I don’t even have money. No matter where I run, I wouldn’t make it out p>
Richard studied her carefully, as if weighing her words.
Red’s voice was cold, her expression blank. “Ms. Lillian should rest. This is deep in the mountains. There are countless unknown dangers. If something happened, are we supposed to send our people to save you?” She couldn’t stand this girl – always speaking without respect, just because she could gamble on stones.
Richard calmly removed his suit jacket and spoke unhurriedly. “Ms. Lillian may walk around as she pleases. Just don’t wander too far. The mountains aren’t safe at night p>
Here, Richard wasn’t worried about her running. She was only fifteen, after all. How much trouble could she really cause? What he needed was her ability, not a prisoner under constant watch.
Satisfied, Lillian headed out.
Watching her back, Red frowned. “Sir, aren’t you worried she’ll run p>
Richard popped the cork on a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass, and swirled it slowly. “Red, you’re too cautious. She’s just a fifteen-year-old girl. What kind of storm could she stir up? Enough. Get the workers moving. Mr. Nicholas will arrive tonight – you go receive him p>

For more than a month, their boss had been running nonstop, rushing to settle overseas business. Under his crushing pressure, they had worked like their lives depended on it.
Finally, they thought they’d have some peace once he returned and saw Ms. Lillian again. Instead, trouble had struck – who had the gall to touch her? It was beyond shameless.
Sebastian’s obsidian eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty light. His voice was cold. “Check Richard. Track his movements down to the last detail p>
He had considered every possibility. Richard was the most suspicious. Back when the man first investigated Lillian, there had already been signs.

“The Stint family is unstable lately. Everyone has their own schemes. If Richard only wanted her for her gambling skills, then he must have something he needs her to do.
If I’m not wrong, he’s in Morovia now.” Sebastian’s long, narrow eyes glinted coldly. The girl’s talent is too exceptional. People will always covet her. Why do I feel more and more like a father guarding his own daughter?
