Chapter 1739: Eden Was Startled
Boom——!
The thunder rumbles!!
Blinding flashes of lightning seemed to tear the sky apart, the dazzling lights piercing through the glass window, striking Eden’s face!
It almost blinded him! Rendering his face deathly pale!
Rumble! Thunder clashed! The rain continued to pour heavily!
Ian watched Eden pause in the center of the room and then start towards the window.
Oh no! Jocelyn and Julie were hiding behind the curtain on the left!
This movement tightened Ian’s heart!
Justin Kingston also closely watched his profile, gripping his wife’s hand, praying for time to fly and hoping Eden’s pace would slow down!
Jocelyn Morgan and Julie stood upright, shoulder to shoulder, identifying the approaching footsteps amidst the torrential rain outside.
Eden was walking this way!
Julie glanced nervously at Jocelyn Morgan from the corner of her eye, wondering why they hadn’t acted yet. What were they waiting for?
Clearly, Julie didn’t want to mess things up.
Suddenly, the surroundings darkened abruptly; at this critical moment, the power went out!
To be precise, the circuit breaker was pulled.
Eden’s steps halted; he was puzzled, it hadn’t gone dark for years?
The unexpected darkness was unsettling; there were no table lamps or candles here, his mind went blank for a few seconds.
At that moment, everyone hiding notched their hearts a bit.
In the darkness, by the light of the lightning, Ian, Justin Kingston, and Mia’s eyes fell on Eden.
Everyone’s ears were pricked!
Jocelyn Morgan closed her eyes, telling herself to stay calm.
Rumble!!
Another wave of rolling thunder came, the sound so loud it startled Eden’s mighty body to tremble, who knows what he was thinking just now.
In the darkness, amidst the lightning and thunder and the pouring rain, it inevitably felt eerie.
This is when Justin Kingston tightened his grip on his wife’s hand.
"Miles Lee!" Mia Lane, utilizing her strong vocal talents, disguised her voice to sound like the master’s, calling out this name!
Eden was immensely startled! His expression changed, his entire being heightened in alertness!
Mia Lane trembled inwardly with rage, "Miles Lee, do you remember your name?"
Eden’s body shook violently, his horror-stricken eyes scanned his surroundings, "..." His throat tightened, even his breathing became slightly breathless.
"Can you still recognize my voice?" Mia Lane continued.
Eden felt like his head was splitting, he abruptly turned, searching around with his gaze... for a moment, he thought he was hallucinating!
"What’s wrong? Been disguised so long that you forgot your real name?" Mia Lane used the master’s tone, suppressing a surge of anger in her heart, "Miles Lee!"
"Who?!" Eden was terrified, half-bent his legs, his body in a defensive posture, heightening his alertness, "Come out! Stop with the ghost tricks!"
His voice was loud, bolstering his own courage, whilst also magnifying the fear buried in his heart!
Everyone could hear his guilt, confirming his true identity as Miles Lee.
"I don’t need to come out because I am a ghost, I am a soul, lingering in the air around you, you can’t see, nor touch..." She made the master’s voice a bit chilling, then laughed triumphantly several times, "Hahahahaha..."
Eden’s heart trembled fiercely in fear, his legs turned to jelly, nearly collapsing to the ground!
Illuminated by lightning, his face exposed terror! Pupils dilated!
"You killed me, now I’m a ghost... here to claim your life!" Mia Lane was extremely angry, she wished she could skin him alive.
