Chapter 88 - Eighty-eight : The Escape (1/2)

”Ugh” Annabelle groaned with the effort as she pushed the heavy man off her niece.

Izzy took a deep, long breath as soon the guard was pushed to the side. The man weighed a ton; she thought she was going to die.

” Bless your heart ” Anabelle pitied Izzy and gave her a hand,helping her rise to her feet.

”Thank you ” Izzy blurted out and when she had realized what she said, added immediately;

” I don't really mean that, so don't let it get into your head. ”

Anabelle hid her face away and smiled, though Isabella pretends to be cold, tough and aloof, but she believes she is one big softy at heart.

Sensing the awkward moment, Izzy cleared her throat and asked ” By the way, how and where did you get that powder? ”

Anabelle waved at her face ” Hello? Have you forgotten my father runs an entertainment agency? you would be shocked to see the things in his possession. So I quietly sneaked out the item that fit my plan ” she explained with a triumphant glee.

Truth be told, Izzy was totally impressed but she didn't let it show on her face .

So her cousin had a bit of a brain after all, but then her countenance changed suddenly .

If Anabelle continued in this way, she might become a formidable opponent in the future.

Isabella wasn't stupid, even if her cousin doesn't want the position, she had no say in the matter.

She had seen the look on Eden's face, he would do anything and everything to put her daughter there. And because Anabelle loved her father so much,she would have no choice than to abide by her father's wishes.

Besides greed was a very good motivator, by the time her dear cousin grows up a bit more, who's to say she won't strive for her position?

”I need to go, the other guards should have been notified already” Izzy surmised and grabbed her backpack from the bed, filled to the brim with unknown items.

She glanced up at Annabelle ” How do I get out of here?”

”My chauffeur is out there, so all you have to do is make it past the entrance ” She pointed out and sat down on Izzy's bouncy bed.

Izzy asked in disbelief ” That is all? ”

Anabelle shrugged ” I've done enough damage for tonight, and it's quite obvious that my dad would skin me alive once he gets news of this adventure .”

Izzy mocked her ” Whatever, daddy's girl ”

Then she turned to walk out of the room but Annabelle's words stopped her in her tracks,

”Be sure not to get caught, I can't have all my painful efforts go to waste ”

Izzy darted a haughty glance her way ”Don't worry ” she began ” I've got brains and balls unlike you ”

Done,she sprint down the stairs while Anabelle released an unbelievable scoff.

Walking into Niklaus mansion was easy but leaving was like escaping a prison yard with no backup plan.

There were security cameras here and there and patrols at different time intervals, security was insanely tight.

Thankfully because of the gala tonight , the number of security placed at the house reduced drastically. But that didn't mean, the house was penetrable.

As much as Izzy was smart and confident, sweat still broke across her forehead as she hides behind a wall each time a guard passes her by without noticing her .

She knew the interior and exterior of the mansion like the back of the hand, knew the number of cameras available, their positions, and therefore manipulated their blindspots to her benefit.

Thankfully her clothes were dark which camouflaged with the darkness of the night once she made it outside.
