Chapter 387

The night grew deeper, casting a shadow over the countryside. The sky was brooding, heavy clouds hiding the moon, and a brisk wind rustled through the trees, whispering secrets to the night.

Gideon's car sped through the darkness. Before he knew it, he was at the gates of the Myers Manor.

His car stopped at the entrance. The guard noticed the vehicle had been idling for a while and went over.

"Let me in," Gideon demanded, his voice cold.

"I'm afraid I can't do that," the guard said, frowning. "Mr. Myers instructed us to ensure Mrs. Myers's safety in his absence. I can't let you in."
