Alex's summer house that was located halfway up the mountain was usually kept empty. That was because Alex was not often in South City. Ever since Jane had left, that place had become even more desolate. Originally, as Alex was going to spend many days in South City, Sebastian did not want to let him stay at that place. Sebastian had already arranged a place for Alex to stay, but Alex just was not willing to stay there. 1
Alex insisted on staying at the desolate place halfway up the mountain. This was because there were Jane's shadows everywhere here. Also, because Jane had been kicked out of this place by him. Therefore, every single time he came back to this place and sat in the large living room, he would think of that day from three days ago.
The way he kicked her out was calm and heartless.
She had left so quietly, and she did not even say anything to pester him. Every time he thought of it, Alex wanted to raise his powerful fist and violently punch himself in the head. It would be best if he could smash his head into pieces.
Alex made another call to Kidon City on the way there.
"Where is Miss Lily these days?" Alex directly asked the Parker family's maid.
The maid was indifferent towards Alex. "Mr Poole, aren't you broken up with our lady? Why did you think
of our lady now?" "I'm asking you where Lily Parker is?" Alex suddenly shouted angrily.
The driver, Andrew, shuddered violently in fear. The Parker family's maid was so frightened that she almost cried. "I...I don’t know. She never entered the house. Even if she were to return to Kidon City, she would go to the Poole residence most of the time. I still remember that the last time I saw her was half a month ago. She said that she wanted to go to the Poole residence to visit Old Master Poole."
Alex was speechless. That sense of foreboding was getting stronger and stronger. If it truly was Lily and if any harm were to happen to Jane, then Alex certainly must let Lily receive the most severe punishment!
The bodyguard only said, “Now...Miss Lily should be...i n South City. She had gone to South City after she had left yesterday. I heard...I heard she had gone to South City to find you..." 1
Alex was speechless. That d*mned woman was actually in South City? Alex's hand was gripping the phone so hard that he almost crushed it. Alex did not hear what the bodyguard was shouting on the other end of the line, he just held his phone tightly. Upon hanging up the call, Alex then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. Lily was actually in South City! Since she had come to South City, then where could she go?
Unknowingly, the driver, Andrew, had driven the car t o the mansion halfway up the mountain. It was late winter. Although South City was not as old as the northeastern land, withered leaves could be seen all over the ground. That made the mansion even more cold and desolate. Even Andrew's mood became extra solemn because of the leaves on this desolate ground.
He parked the car, and just when he was about to get out of the car, he suddenly saw a figure in front of the iron gate outside the mansion.
"Master, Master, quickly look at who that is!” Andrew immediately called out to Alex.
