Chapter 444 Please Help Him

"The third floor!"

The hallway to the third floor of the gallery was locked. Miles had asked the staff about it but was told that was where Cyrus stored his important items. As such, it was not open to the public year-round. They had also assured him nobody was on the third floor. Without a second thought, Jonathan dashed toward that floor.

All the hallways on the third floor were equipped with high-tech digital locks. Since this gallery belonged to Cyrus, Jonathan glanced at Leonard, who was following behind, and tacitly communicated what he needed. Immediately, Leonard fished out his phone and dialed a number.

Downstairs, everybody remained stunned in place. When a phone rang, the crowd simultaneously looked toward Cyrus, who wore a gloomy expression.

When he looked at his phone, he furrowed his brows. The ringtone continued echoing throughout the gallery, creating an eerie atmosphere. After some time, he finally answered the call.

On the other side of the call, a cold voice sounded. "Give me the password!" Jonathan was referring to the password to access the third floor.

Despite being in the same building, the father and son would only communicate through phone calls. Without receiving an answer, Jonathan piped up again.

"If you wish to stay in Regalia, give me the password now!" He had millions of ways to banish his father from the city.

Cyrus narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he smiled. "All for a woman?"

He couldn't believe his son would threaten him over a woman. Was it Rose? He vaguely heard her name earlier and thought it sounded familiar, but...

"She's not up there!" Why would this woman he was looking for be on the floor locked all year round?

Jonathan locked eyes with Miles and came to a tacit agreement. No matter what, they needed to find out themselves!
