If they didn't have the Moreaus, their only support in Fredonia would be Sundial Corp., and Mr. Chronos's powers weren't as potent there. Moreover, now that most people knew Chronos was Rickard, any unusual events in Fredonia would raise widespread suspicion.When that moment arrived, regardless of their actions, they risked exposure to the public, something Hesper wished to avoid. She rubbed her temples and said, "Today isn't ideal. If Charles has his attention here, he may deduce what we've learned from Camille."Charles was exceptionally cautious, and his first reaction would likely be eliminating Camille, given that she knew the location existed. Eliminating her appeared easier than relocating.There had to be a significant reason for Charles to choose eliminating Camille over moving. Hesper wasn't ready to let this slide. Nevertheless, now that they were present, Charles might feel compelled to ensure everything ran smoothly, potentially abandoning the previous location. Yet if

Charles didn't want to betray her, but something else held a more significant place in his heart. Without hesitation, he would choose anything of greater importance than her. But where did she stand in the hierarchy of importance?Hesper believed she was closest to being a replacement for the late Mrs. Deschamps, which troubled her even more. Someone who had passed away was irreplaceable, so she occupied a rank just one step below the utmost importance. Although it seemed pompous, judging by Charles's reactions, it held true. So, what could be more important than her?Could Charles be foolish enough to hope that the hallucinogen could revive his wife? He had a moment of clarity before this, and Hesper didn't think he was the type to repeat his mistakes. However, based on what he had said today, it sounded like she might be wrong. Before obtaining the hallucinogen, Charles might have deemed it useful, but once he had it, he realized it was all a sham. That's why he claimed it was no l

Charles knew Hesper and Rickard would arrive at any moment, so he had likely set up some defenses. Hesper was sure of that.Camille's discovery of the location marked a significant turning point for them. Without this lead, they would still be wandering aimlessly."Let's proceed inside."Despite the presence of many guards, the two women were clever, making it relatively easy for them to gain entry. The target location wasn't expansive, so with caution, navigating it would be straightforward. However, they expected tight surveillance within.Their primary goal was to ensure Charles's security team didn't reach the location before they found the key person or item. In other words, they had to locate it before Charles did. Time was limited, and this was their final opportunity.They eluded the guards outside and infiltrated the villa. As anticipated, a piercing alarm sounded. The two women exchanged glances, and Camille said, "Let's split up. It doesn't matter who finds it. We came

Camille continued to search for a trapdoor, and while she didn't understand why Hesper asked, she nodded in agreement. "I think so. It doesn't look like it was prepared for a baby boy."Hesper glanced around and remarked, "The swaddles, larger clothes, toys, and everything else seem to have been acquired after the gender was confirmed.""Even if Charles had his men frantically purchase all these items, there are so many. I doubt they could have done it in such a short time. The last time we saw him wasn't too long ago. I'm quite certain he didn't have a child back then."The time difference seemed to raise questions.While they both pondered in silence, a tapping noise emanated from the room. A shiver ran down Camille's spine, and she grabbed Hesper's sleeve. "Could this place be haunted? I'm getting scared."Connecting all the pieces was eerie, but now there was an inexplicable noise?Hesper frowned but remained unafraid. She tilted her ear to listen carefully and then remarked,

She knew because she had used one before.Yes, it was a tracker that was extremely difficult to detect when implanted in a person. Hesper had experimented with it once out of concern for possible risks, which is why she had it on hand.It turned out to be the perfect item to entrust to the woman.Charles would undoubtedly try to relocate the woman, making her even harder to find. However, the presence of the tracker would change the dynamics of the situation."Don't worry; we'll come back for you." Hesper reassuringly patted the woman's shoulder. She then signaled to Camille, and they quickly restored the latch to its original position in the baby room before making their escape through the window.Camille's heart raced as she watched Hesper effortlessly jump out. "You're pregnant. Please be careful."Hesper acknowledged the concern, though she believed she hadn't yet reached her physical limits. A small platform awaited her below for a safe landing. Still, Camille's reminder res
