CHAPTER 639: CHAPTER 639: GONE AGAIN? (1)

"Where is she?"

Elias Hawthorne sternly asked the servant beside him.

The servant looked bewildered, "Who is the Lord trying to find?"

Raina’s name was on his lips but swallowed back by Elias Hawthorne.

With Raina not currently by his side, he couldn’t utter her name.

Although he was the Lord of the Dark Tower, he had countless enemies in the Umbral Zone. If anyone else discovered Raina’s importance to him, they would certainly act together. At that time, even if he were a god, it would be impossible to fully protect Raina.

The aura around Elias Hawthorne became increasingly terrifying, and the servant beside him was so frightened by his aura that he couldn’t even move, his eyes full of fear.

"Boss, boss." At this moment, Quinn Thorne hurried over, "Calm down, you’ll scare them all to death."

Elias Hawthorne turned without a word and walked towards the villa deep in the manor.

Quinn Thorne quickly followed, noticing the empty space beside Elias Hawthorne. He couldn’t help but wonder, "Boss, where is sis-in-law?"

Upon hearing Quinn Thorne’s inquiry, Elias Hawthorne’s face again turned dark and fearsome.

Quinn Thorne paused for a moment, unable to resist saying, "Could it be that sis-in-law is throwing a tantrum and unwilling to come back with you?" He furrowed his brow slightly, "If that’s the case, then sis-in-law is too unreasonable. Doesn’t she know the price you’ve paid to find her?"

Initially, when the boss left the Umbral Zone, he intended to return the Dark Tower to the Lowell Family, as it was their ancestral property.

Back then, the former Lord brought the boss back, albeit just for the purpose of honing the Lowell Family offspring, but in any case, he saved the boss’s life at his most critical moment.

However, Elias Hawthorne now was no longer the young man who harbored delusions about familial relationships, nor did he need the identity of Lord of the Dark Tower to take temporary refuge.

Therefore, even though the title of Lord of the Dark Tower was incredibly prestigious, it never mattered to Elias Hawthorne.

The only reason he hadn’t let go yet was because the Lowell Family had no capable heirs.

But this news had already spread, and many high-ranking members of the Dark Tower knew about it. Now the boss had returned in search of sis-in-law, and openly denied the engagement with Claire Lowell, while capturing several elders and high-ranking members close to the Lowell Family. The Dark Tower might just go crazy, and God knows what those incapable yet scheming individuals would do.

Elias Hawthorne’s sharp gaze shot over, his voice cold, "Raina isn’t throwing a tantrum."

Quinn Thorne wasn’t surprised at all; he knew that with his boss’s wife-protecting fanatic nature, anyone daring to speak ill of Raina North would likely meet a grim fate here.

However, what Elias Hawthorne said next truly shocked Quinn Thorne: "Raina is missing."

"Wha... what? Boss, you said sis-in-law is missing?"

"Yes." Elias Hawthorne’s handsome face was somber, his expression gloomy, "By the time I chased after her, Raina was already gone."

"..." Isn’t that throwing a tantrum?

Quinn Thorne internally complained but dared not comment further, otherwise, even though he was a brother, the boss would deal with him too.

Seeing Elias Hawthorne in such an agitated state, Quinn Thorne quickly said, "Boss, don’t worry. Today, everyone who enters and exits the manor must be recorded, so once we review those, we can quickly find out where sis-in-law went?"

Elias Hawthorne’s expression eased slightly, "Why hasn’t the record been brought yet?"

"Right away." Quinn Thorne reluctantly went to fetch it.

Thinking to himself, once they find her this time, whether the boss and sis-in-law argue or fight, it’s best to stay far away. It’s way too easy to get caught in their drama.
