Chapter 1251: 1247

On the other side, Bella Green returned to her room and sat on the bed, pondering. And what was she pondering about? Naturally, about how to leave this damn place.

It’s a manor, not a prison.

She simply didn’t believe it. Besides the main door, was there really no other way out?

Even if she had to dig a tunnel, she’d do it.

But right now, what troubled her the most was Mason.

Did he know she was already safe?

Judging from Matthew’s attitude, he likely didn’t know.

With this thought, Bella only felt more troubled.

She didn’t even dare imagine how frantic Mason might become not being able to find her.

Bella rubbed her head, feeling some regret.

Regretting why she made that call to Matthew’s housekeeper.

Not only did she not get out, but Matthew had even come over.

Under his watchful eye, it would probably be even harder to leave.

...

Bella was over there, anxiously pulling at her ears and scratching her cheeks.

On Mason’s side, things were indeed not looking good.

Although Louis had already informed him that Bella was safe.

As long as he hadn’t seen her, he couldn’t completely relax.

Though he knew deep down she was probably fine, outwardly, he was still sending people to keep looking.

The whole situation had worn him out to the extreme.

Both Grandma Bennett and Bellamy Homes watched him in pain but could do nothing.

All they could offer were powerless consolations — as long as they hadn’t found a body, it was good news...

In the company, the pressure on the Lawrence Family continued, leaving many bewildered.

After all, one was the leader in Brocade City, the other a bigwig in Kyoto.

How could anyone understand how these two, whose waters didn’t interfere, suddenly started clashing?

The fallout of this fight was distressing.

At this very moment, Mason was leaning against the leather sofa, massaging his temples, looking extremely unhappy.

Several sleepless days and nights had left Mason exhausted, his head splitting with pain.

His tolerance had reached its limit.

An entire week had passed with no news of Bella.

No matter how much Louis assured him, he could no longer remain calm.

He picked up the phone and dialed Louis.

"Where is Bella?"

A direct question, and Louis wasn’t surprised.

He knew Mason’s patience had worn thin.

The suppressed anger in his voice made Louis sigh.

"Trust me, I’ll soon let you see her. If you don’t want her in danger, you better do nothing."

An answer similar to before.

"If you want me to do nothing, let me be sure she is truly safe."

Louis massaged his temples, feeling that his earlier words were in vain.

"Give me two more days. I’ll find a way for you to see her."

"Remember what you said."

After hanging up, Mason’s heart still didn’t calm down. Although Louis had promised, he still felt a vague sense of unease.

......

On the other side, Elijah, upon hearing their phone conversation, almost jumped out of his skin.

"Boss, how could you agree to that? It’ll affect our whole plan."

Elijah rubbed his blond hair, feeling his head swell.

Initially, he thought his boss was rational enough, but now it seemed even he couldn’t escape being affected.

After all, the one in danger now was his sister.

He could understand, but the current situation wasn’t something mere understanding could solve.

This isn’t just about one person’s safety; if they failed again to get evidence against Matthew Lawrence this time, the cost wouldn’t be just one life.

Too many had already died because of him, and more might follow.
