Chapter 1171: I Just Want to See You...
On the road, Mason Nightshade had someone notify the police.
Aurelia stared at the passing scenery on both sides, increasingly feeling that the road seemed familiar. Suddenly, she furrowed her brows, "Mason, isn’t this the road to Cloud Pavilion Garden?"
Mason was taken aback, glanced out the window, and his expression instantly turned grave.
Damn it! He should have realized it earlier! That insane man, his initial target was Aurelia! Kidnapping Balthazar Shaw was just a way to force Aurelia to return from M Nation.
And those reporters stationed at Aurelia’s doorstep... they were just Leo Campbell’s eyes. The moment Aurelia returned, he would know instantly.
His home was plastered with an entire wall of Aurelia’s photos, tracking Balthazar Shaw’s route to hospital visits, and the Campbell Family woman sent to assassinate Aurelia... all this was his premeditated plan!
He should have realized it earlier!
Aurelia bit her lower lip. "Ursa Miller’s family still lives in Cloud Pavilion Garden..." She left the sentence unfinished.
If Ursa and her family are at Cloud Pavilion Garden and Leo Campbell really went there...
Mason grasped Aurelia’s hand. "Don’t worry, call Ursa’s family first and tell them under no circumstances to open the door."
Being held by this large hand, the unease in Aurelia’s heart calmed a bit. She dialed the phone number for the house at Cloud Pavilion Garden, the ringing sound pounding in her heart like a drum.
Finally, a familiar voice came over the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
Aurelia let out a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Ursa, it’s me. Listen to me, lock the door first and, if someone knocks, do not open it for any reason."
Hearing Aurelia’s voice, Ursa was first delighted then puzzled, but since it was the lady’s instructions, she complied. "Okay."
...
Aiden Campbell didn’t quite understand what was going on, but he could feel the tense atmosphere and peeked out quietly, asking in a low voice, "What’s up? Is someone at Sister-in-law’s house?"
Reflecting on the previous conversation, Aiden said, "Sister-in-law’s little maid still lives at her house, right?"
He had some impression of Aurelia’s little maid, as Aurelia had come to him for help regarding that maid.
He remembered that she was a rather pretty person.
Aurelia rubbed her forehead.
Aiden wisely didn’t say anything further.
...
The car drove into Cloud Pavilion Garden.
Aiden saw from afar that someone was standing in front of the building. He squinted, his face turning grave and cold, "Sister-in-law, it’s that little scoundrel Leo Campbell!"
Aurelia was too weary to comment on Aiden’s increasing ease with calling her "Sister-in-law" or his habit of mixing in a curse or two with his words. Squinting, she confirmed that the person in front of the building was indeed Leo Campbell.
When the car stopped, Aurelia was about to get out, but Mason held her wrist and gave a nod to his men,
Aiden and his men got out and rushed forward.
Through the glass, Aurelia saw them capture the panicked Leo Campbell, who was trying to escape, and bring him towards them. At this moment, Mason stepped out of the car, still holding her hand.
Mason glanced at Leo Campbell, his gaze icy and disdainful, as if the latter held no significance to him.
This gaze stung Leo Campbell, and he bit his lip hard, his lips pale, his eyes relentlessly fixated with obsession on Aurelia beside Mason, "Aurelia, Aurelia..."
Aurelia looked at Leo Campbell and raised her eyebrows.
Leo Campbell: "I finally got to see you. Everything I’ve done was for you. I just wanted to see you, and don’t worry, I didn’t harm your father. You said you’d return to the country, and I’ve waited for you for so long and you never returned. I had no choice but to do this. Please forgive me, okay?
Don’t leave the country again, okay? I just want to see you..."
