บท 319: Miss me...

'Step, Step, Step...'

Adriana's indifferent eyes remained fixed on Theo, who walked with an air of arrogance, his happy smile belying any sense of concern. 

While Carter felt a sense of relief that his son seemed to be spared from suffering like Kayden..... an underlying uneasiness lingered within him.

He decided to consult with Lucian, his ally.

"L-Lucian?" Carter whispered in Lucian's ears, creating a powerful barrier around them to ensure their conversation remained private.

"What?" Lucian responded with a casual demeanour, feigning innocence.

"D-Did you do anything?" Carter asked, his suspicion evident. He couldn't shake the feeling that Lucian might have orchestrated some unseen twist.

"Hmm..." Lucian observed the blatant suspicion, he then smirked inwardly, He replied, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, where is he?" Carter inquired.

"Who?" Lucian continued playing the innocent, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
