A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

Chapter 1130 She Is Mine

Joseph took care of Bastien meticulously. In the evening, Bastien showed signs of waking up. With much effort, he opened his eyes and saw Joseph sitting by his bedside with a concerned look on his face. Bastien glanced at the layers of bandage on his arm and asked nervously, “Joseph, my arm…”

“Mr. Nine, we managed to get you to the hospital in time. Your arm is fine. You will make a complete recovery after a period of rest.” Joseph paused and continued hesitantly, “I thought you had the jade key? How did you injure your arm so seriously?”

Bastien was leaning back against a cushion when a cold glint flashed across his gentle eyes as he replied, “That jade key is fake.” “Fake?” A deep crease appeared between Joseph’s brows.

“Even though the key fitted into the lock, it couldn’t be used to open the secret room. As I used force, it activated the traps instead. This happened because I was too careless…” Bastien continued coldly, “Not only was Zophie deceived, but I have also been deceived. This jade key is an exact replica of the real thing. The only person in Loang who is capable of replicating the jade key so well is Varre Appleby. However, he disappeared more than a decade ago…”

It was as if the man had suddenly fallen off the face of the Earth. The royal family had made attempts to find him but to no avail. No one had expected that Varre was still alive and had even created an exact replica of the jade key.
