Chapter 1704

Penulis: Cozy Season
Erica still felt uneasy.

The other night, she had passed out somehow. By the time she woke up, she found herself in this secret room.

Then Yvette showed up. "Erica, I know you're a good kid. Hiding you here is the only way I can protect you. I get that you came snooping around, but it's too risky. Enoch is not coming back anytime soon. You will be safe here."

"But I can't just hide here," Erica argued. "I've got friends out there. I need to stand with them. Right now, they are probably freaking out over me."

She set down the snacks and stood up. Suddenly, the room spun.

"Mrs. Osborne..."

"Trust me, honey. This is for your good."

...

At the Potter Mansion, Randy woke up at dusk.

Debra smirked at William, who was lurking by the door. "Your drugs pack a hell of a punch. He slept all day."

"To prevent him from waking up too soon, you know," he chuckled nervously, ducking behind the doorframe.

He was afraid of Randy's wrath. The man was a beast when he was angry.

    Mabel and Emma swapped a glance and shook their heads.Debra realized Yvette hadn't told them everything. It hit her how rough the last 20 years must've been for Yvette in that house."We're sorry for lying," Mabel said. "But Mrs. Osborne meant well. Please save her."They bowed deep, and Debra quickly helped them up. "We will get them back. Don't worry."Randy smiled bitterly, "Enoch is declaring war on us."Enoch had never meant much to him growing up, but deep down, he had still wanted Enoch's approval.Now? He just wanted to cut ties with that monster.Enoch didn't deserve to be a father....Inside a valley church, Erica woke up to see everything dim.She could faintly hear voices. It seemed to be a creepy prayer that made her head pound.She tried to move, only to find herself tied up with ropes. Her body still felt numb from the drugs.Clearly, they weren't taking any chances with her.She scanned the room. It looked like a sealed-off church.Judging by the voices,

    Debra instantly thought of the Illuminati."Why are you here?" she asked, keeping her composure."It was Mrs. Osborne," Emma replied. "She brought us here. Said it'd be safe. But those people stormed in. Their leader said something to her, and they dragged her and Miss Mathis off.""Why did she bring you here?""She said it was a safe spot.""You knew all along Mrs. Osborne was hiding Erica, didn't you?"The two maids' faces went pale."You were both at the house that night," Debra pointed out. "And you saw Enoch come back. Erica was upstairs, then ended up in that basement room. Emma, you said you were downstairs all night. You had to have seen her. What really happened?"The air got thick with tension.Finally, Mabel spoke up. "It was Mrs. Osborne's idea.""My mom?" Michael blinked.Yvette was always a loving mother in his mind. She was scatterbrained at times, but she wasn't crazy."It wasn't her fault," Mabel sighed. "She didn't want to play crazy all these years, but s

    They hurried through the tunnel, but everyone's mind was laden with thoughts."This is the end," Marion said after about five minutes.The passage was narrow, probably just for Enoch to slip through alone. It could lead to some empty road around half a mile away from the house, but before their eyes was a small building.It was a single-story place about 200 square meters. It looked clean, like someone kept it up, but there were no signs of anyone living there long-term.Randy stared at the house, unimpressed, until he spotted a photo on a shelf. It showed a gentle-looking mother holding a baby, but the father was missing.He thought for a moment and realized what this place was."These are Annette and her son," he said.It turned out that half a mile from their house, Enoch had a cozy little home with another woman.It felt more like a real family spot than their big, cold villa ever did. Enoch, Annette, and their kid must've had some happy times here."Annette?" Debra asked.

    Randy spun toward her. "What did you find? You know where Erica is?""Back in Orkgate," Debra said, "Drake once used an underground tunnel to move me to a clothing store. That tunnel wasn't new, probably something the Illuminati built ages ago, like the creepy games at the gala.""Makes sense." Randy's eyes lit up. He shouted to the team, "Go. Look for hidden tunnels or anything like that."The crew spread out, combing the place.Debra started thinking harder. Marion noticed. "What's wrong?""It's still weird," she said, eyeing the setup. "This looks like Enoch's secret hideout. How did Mrs. Osborne find out? And everyone's gone. Your guys said no one left. So, where is everyone? They can't be all members of the Illuminati."Randy chewed over her words, but he didn't care about that now.Debra kept puzzling it out. If they were, then their earlier words were bunk.She just couldn't figure out why that maid had brought up the kidnapping case from 20 years ago. Her head pounded

    Erica had a temper, but she was not reckless.There had to be more to it. They just didn't know what yet."I'll get the car," Marion said, standing up and snagging the keys from Jordan.Under the cover of the night, he drove Michael toward the Osborne Mansion.Randy broke the silence. "I didn't mean to...""I know," Marion said coolly. "I wouldn't think you were hiding anything.""I've never been big on fighting," Randy admitted. "Gave up training ages ago. Looking back, I was such an idiot. If I'd been tougher, Erica wouldn't have been taken under my nose."Marion glanced at him in the rearview mirror. "Trust her. She's not an ordinary girl.""Yeah." Randy trailed off.He did trust her. But when danger hit, he still panicked.Soon, the car pulled up at the gate.Marion tapped his earpiece, and a voice came through. "Report. We've been watching 24/7. Nothing weird.""Got it," Marion said, cutting the call.Then he helped Randy out of the car and headed toward the house.T

    "I've got something," Marion said suddenly."What did you find?" Debra asked."Rare gems," Marion replied. "There's a big display case on the first floor."Debra remembered it. They'd seen it the first time they visited the Osborne Mansion, though they hadn't gotten a good look."The stones in there are one-of-a-kind," Marion said. "And I found a hidden passage leading underground.""You went down there?" Jordan asked."Yeah.""What's inside?""A gem corridor."Marion described what he had seen. Glass cases lined the walls, filled with glowing stones. The hallway stretched deep, ending at a door.He hadn't had time to check it out, but apparently, secrets were hidden behind that door."Do you think Erica is inside?""Not sure."It could just be a vault for Enoch's collections, given his obsession with stones.Debra piped up. "Should we wait for Randy to wake up and check it out himself?"They were outsiders, after all. They were in no position to search the house."Let'

    "Hold on," Jordan chimed in. "I was the one who got kidnapped. If anyone's gonna tell you, it should be me.""Alright," Debra said, taking a deep breath. "Go ahead."It had been haunting her in her dreams, which felt so real. They couldn't be just simple dreams."We crossed a lot of people back then," he sighed. "People from the Illuminati. Jeffery orchestrated the kidnapping.""I know that part," Debra said. "You got kidnapped. Your parents tried to save you but died in a car crash. And Andrew lost his legs. But what's that got to do with me? Why was I taken too?"Her parents had never mentioned it. She had no memory of it either."I was just a kid," Jordan said. "I didn't know everything. Maybe Jeffery wanted to take down the four families. He grabbed me and threw you in for good measure. It was a heavy blow to the two families."He looked up and continued, "My parents couldn't rescue me, but your parents managed to save you. Marion and I didn't tell you because we figured tho

    "I don't know much about that," the maid said. "But that kidnapping case was a huge deal back then. Mrs. Osborne is related to the Potter family, and because of that incident, she lost it. Back then, she was very close to Mr. Andrew Potter. When he got hurt, she couldn't take it. She got sick that same day."Debra tilted her head. "I don't think I've ever seen news about that kidnapping, but you know about it. Does that mean it was big back then?""Oh, absolutely," the maid said. "The Potter family was a big name. When that mess went down, every paper was all over it. I was just a kid, but I remember the headlines. They said bandits kidnapped Mr. Jordan Potter and demanded cash."She paused. "Wait a sec. How do you not know this? Weren't you kidnapped with him back then?""What do you mean?" Debra froze.Marion walked up, and the maid stepped aside. "Mr. Houston.""Why did you come up?" Debra asked."It's time to head back," he said.Debra's mind was still spinning from what th
