Chapter 298
It was late at night,
Harriet was on duty outside the room. She didn’t have to guard there, but since she was the one who brought Madeline here, it was better to keep an eye on everything
If anything happened, Harrier could reach out to the doctor right away
The people here weren’t trustworthy, not one of them. Harriet wouldn’t rely on anyone else.
Suddenly, footsteps were coming closer
Harriet looked up and yawned out of boredom, asking “Karen, did you go out to have some fun tonight?”
Karen was dressed in a camel coat, her long wavy hair framing a face with flawless makeup. Underneath, she wore a stunning red slip dress and black stiletto heels, looking extremely charming
Karen replied. “Mr. Massey will be here soon. I’m going to take a shower first.”
Harriet was surprised and asked. Is he staying over?”
Harriet knew that Ryan treated Karen differently. Someone like him, who avoided smoking, drinking, and women, had an almost obsessive control over his desires.
Hower Ryan was only nineteen, even younger than Madeline.
Karen, an experienced woman, was likely to have a flirtatious relationship with Ryan.
Sometinn, Harrin wondered if someone like Ryan even felt the usual desires of a man.
But it was true that Pyan stayed overnight, and every time Karen would go to attend to him. The next day, she was all smug and satisfied.
In return Ryan expressed extra affection toward Karen. Although this affection appeared somewhat indifferent, it was noticeably different from how be treated other Karen, with her mysterious and tactful nature, quickly became Ryan’s favorite within just over a year.
As an adult. Harriet knew there was likely something going on between them.
In private, other all said that Karen was Ryan’s woman, even if unofficially, Yet, even without a title, Karen’s status was enviable.
Hammer didn’t dare dwell on it. She just didn’t like Ryan staying over because she was actually quite afraid of him.
Deep down Harned feared this man who was even younger than her.
Karen tipped her hair and smiled playfully saying, “He’s staying over tonight, so you’d better not wander around and accidentally see something you shouldn’t. We wouldn’t want to influence a young lady like you the wrong way.”
Hamet thought to herself. You guys sure have wild games going. Out loud, she just gave an awkward grin and said, “I’m here to take care of Madeline”
Karen chuckled and asked. “Aren’t you going to get some rest? Madeline is lying in the room just fine. She won’t turn into a butterfly and fly away. Anyway, things are really chaotic outside. It seems she is very important, and those guys are going crazy over it
Kuren covered her mouth and continued with a smile, “It looks like you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble. They’re probably onto you. You better be careful and hope nothing bad happens to her.
Harris had a pained expression and said, “But I couldn’t just watch her like that, With my identity, I couldn’t take her to the hospital either. Doing a good deed shouldn’t get me in trouble, right? That would be too awful.”
Karen raad her finger, pointing at Harriet, and said, “You’re really too simple. Next time you carefully. For the past year, I didn’t dare get close to her. You’re truly young and brave,

Everyone else stayed in other guesthouses.
Harriet clasped her hands together and prayed, “Madeline, please be alright, or your crazy bunch might tear me apart. In these secret networks, no one dares to provoke them.”
Suddenly, the voice–controlled
lights turned on.
Harriet realized it was probably Ryan. She sneaked a glance and, as expected, saw a young man in a black wool coat. His features were exceptionally delicate, which indicated that, despite his intimidating aura, he was clearly a wealthy young man.
Ryan emanated a subtle yet palpable disdain that created an oppressive atmosphere–a charisma characteristic of those in high positions.
Beside Ryan was a bodyguard, sticking to him like a shadow.
Hanet called, “Good evening. Mr. Massey.”
She bowed her head respectfully.
“You don’t need to stay here anymore. Leave, Ryan said, his voice cold and emotionless.
Harriet blinked innocently and asked, “Mr. Massey, tonight
The bodyguard glanced at Harriet with a clear warning. There was no need for her to ask more questions, lest she court disaster Harriet la
glanced at the door of Madeline’s room, nodded, and then slowly went downstairs.
Harriet heard the sound of a door opening behind her.
Ryan instructed in a low voice. “Tonight, you should guard against the door?
The bodyguard replied. “Yes.”
Soon the door closed again-
Harriet turned to look back. In the long hallway, only the bodyguard stood still at the door. Ryan had already entered Madeline’s room.
Back in her room on the first Boor, Harriet muttered to herself, “Wasn’t Mr. Massey going to Karen’s room‘ Why did he go to Madeline’s room! Looks like he’s staying there tonight. He won’t do anything to Madeline, will he? Although Madeline is very pretty, Mr. Massey can have anyone he wants. He wouldn’t take someone who looks so sick, right?”
At first, Harriet believed the idea seemed to twisted, but then again, she realis

drawn, and only the bedside lamps illuminated the room.
Madeline lay quietly on the bed, completely still and silent. She was beautiful, but there was an unsettling air about her, reminiscent of a flawless mannequin
Ryan took of his wool coat sat at the edge of the bed, and held Madeline’s hand.
Her hand felt soft and unusually warn.
Ryan was fascinated by the feeling. He picked up an alcohol wipe and gently cleaned her pretty, slender hand bit by bit. Her wrist was delicate, her Bogers long and her nail were clean and well–shaped
The Lips of Madeline’s fingers had a light pink line, a very pretty color.
Ryan’s tense e expression toltened as he almost became absorbed in the cask of gently cleaning Madeline.
There were some unusual red spots on Madeline’s checks, Ryan frowned and said, “Madeline, would you be upset if you woke up and found you
