Ethan's eyes darkened as he looked around the empty room.

The room was spotless as if no one had ever lived there in the first place.

She frantically sent people out to search for Adelina, but Adelina had already escaped by horse.

"I'm sorry, Master."

"Where is the blue-eyed child who was here in the Mistress's stead?"

Elly turned around when she heard Ethan's question. A few moments later, Jeff was dragged in front of Ethan by the other servants. He was brought to his knees before him.

"Even if you slit my throat, I cannot tell you where the Mistress went."
