Chapter 402 - She Died Before (2/2)
”Wait, who else knows of this? I mean, who knows that Elizabeth is alive?”
”Both Young Stanford and Young Feng knows Lady Zhao.” Elder Shou answered.
”Xiaotong?” Lady Zhao was taken aback.
”Yes, a few days ago Young Stanford attack Young Shen's company and Young Feng accidentally meet the man himself. Now, Young Feng is also on the search for the Young Princess. He has called us a few times but we informed him we have no clue yet of the Young Princess whereabouts and hope you can keep it a secret as well.” Elder Shou explained.
”So, once Elizabeth finds the professor what now?” Elder Lady Knightley asked.
”That we do not know, we fear that her life might be brought into danger more once she recovers everything. For we fear that she might go after the people after her…”
”Why can't this old man just stop this people then?” Elder Lady Knightley furiously said.
”Sadly, he is trying his best. But people in the underground society think the old man has died already. And any moves he make people think it just some made up stories in order to scare them.”
”What do you mean?”
”Rumors said that not only did the old man lose the Young Princess back then. He did lose someone very important to him which causes him to hide away from everyone.”
”And they all think Lizzy did it.”
”We don't know that yet…”
The room turn to silence after Lord Knightley finally spoke. He has been quiet this whole time and for him to finally utter some words silence the room.
”Rest assured everyone, the Young Princess will be fine…” Elder Shou said.
…
At the same time, at Goldsmith Lawfirm.
Jackie along with Alex and her brothers were preparing to do the necessary papers and action that needed to be done to put an end to the Western Org mistake.
”Jackie, have you double checks everything.” Alex asked.
”Yes, I'll go ahead and sent the paperwork's to my brother.” Jackie said.
As she was about to live the room, her elder brother walked inside the room with a troubled look on his face.
”Big brother, what's wrong?”
”Bad news, they've already located where Lizzy is. What's worse, more mercenary groups, organization and clans are joining the party in search for her.” He explained.
”What?” Jackie surprisingly shouted.
”This is bad, we better hurry up before the Western Org get involve as well. We need to make sure we lessen the organization after her.” Alex added.
”Hmm, I'll go ahead and look for Elder Brother now. Jackie, you help Alex. I need to leave soon to visit one of the Western Org leaders.” He said.
”You take care Big Brother.” Jackie said worriedly for his brother safety.
”Don't worry about me, those old timer can't do anything to me.” He proudly and boldly declared.
As he left the room, silence feel into the room. Alex saw how worried Jackie was and went closer to her to comfort her.
”Don't worry; the Young Princess will be fine. She has been trained and grew in such environment. I'm sure she is already a few steps ahead of us and those who think she is there are way behind her tail.”
”I hope so,” Jackie sighs and added, ”This is all Scott's fault, why did he run away when he saw me. I've been trying to contact him before I even knew who he really was. Do you think he already suspected us back then?”
”No, I have a feeling that maybe the professor order him to stay away from us. He has a close relationship with the professor.” Alex answered.
”But why, don't they want to protect Lizzy, I mean, why won't the professor just show his face in front of Lizzy and help her regain her memory. Also, why won't Scott go and protect her now that so many people are after her.” Jackie vented out all the built frustration buried within.
”Maybe, maybe, the professor made an oath that t he is not allowed to show up his face in front of the Young Miss if she does not know who he is. With Scott, maybe because people think he knows where the professor is which is why he is on the run as well.”
”Well, whatever reason they have I think is stupid. Lizzy is now in danger and both of them are hiding like chickens. What's worse, Stanford is getting involved as well.”
”Hmm, he is a very clever boy to use this opportunity to increase his power not only in economy but in the underground society as well.” Alex praised Jayden Stanford for his current achievement.
”He may be clever, but Xiaotong and Shen are also doing the same thing. What I don't understand is how Jayden found out that Lizzy was alive this whole time?” Jackie curiously asked.
”His family does have long connection in the underground society maybe rumors spread and the information reaches him.”
”Hmm, I just hope neither of them fined Lizzy. It's best Lizzy find herself first seeing she is already bound to someone.”
”You've been informed?” Alex looked suspiciously at Jackie.
”I accidentally heard Elder Shou and Jaden talking about it once. Don't worry; I have not informed my brother about such topic. I fear, it something the world must not know.”
”It is indeed something that no one must no. For even the Young Princess herself does not know of such engagement.”
Jackie looked at Alex and inquired, ”Since I know of such fact, how did this engagement come about.”
”Hmm, I will tell you but prepare yourself for the truth might affect how you see the Young Princess. She is your close friend and I know you know most of her secrets.”
Jackie nodded her head and expressed such seriousness, ”Don't worry, I'll accept Lizzy no matter whom she is.”
”I'm pleased to know that, but don't worry, she is the child or Lord and Lady Knightley. It's just; her life does not belong to her.”
”What do you mean?” Jackie was bewildered and confused.
”The Young Princess, she died before. And her life now, belongs to some who is important to the old man.”
Jackie expression was as pale as sheet, she didn't expect such truth to bring such shock to her.
