Chapter 540 She's Here

If only she were the real Harriette. Otherwise, she didn't care for such brotherly love. She lay against Miles' back but kept thinking about Rose.

How could she still call Miles when she had strayed away for so long? Lizzie did guarantee Rose would encounter "accidents" no matter which path she took.

However, it wasn't Lizzie who planned the arrangement, but someone else. Did that person not do their job well?

Despite her initial panic, Harriette gradually calmed down and turned optimistic. Perhaps it was still early, and they hadn't attacked. Since every path was posted with attackers, she supposed the "accident" would occur as planned nevertheless. Perhaps, Rose wouldn't show up even after they waited a long time at the summit!

She received one call after another, telling her that their attempts were a failure. All of them pointed to the same reason, which was the fact that Rose was accompanied by a middle-aged man. That meant the risks had increased, thus lowering their success rate. "Damn it!" Bella gritted her teeth in anger. She had put in a lot of effort and made thorough arrangements, stationing attackers on all paths. How could this happen?

She was relentless. No matter what, she would not give up on this golden opportunity today!

A sanctuary was located atop Aurora Crest. It was usually bustling, but it was quiet today.

When Miles and Harriette arrived at the top, the first thing he did was look for Rose. However, she was nowhere in sight. He hurriedly called her, but the call never connected.

"Don't worry, Miles. Maybe she's out of signal. I'm sure she'll be here soon." Harriette comforted him on the surface but was thrilled on the inside. Out of reach, huh... She deduced that the "accidents" had taken place.

"No. I gotta find her." Miles was worried and even felt sorry for Rose. He had abandoned her alone and went to seek Harriette. If anything happened to Rose... He dared not expand that thought.
