Chapter 375 High And Dry

Catherine was the only reason Ignatius set foot in Yaleview.

Based on Edward's intel, he had learned that Jonathan and the rest had already departed for Eastsummer. Of course, that included Mabel and Beatrix.

Ignatius was not in any hurry to get even with those two women.

Moreover, the information he had gotten from Edward only indicated that Jonathan had a couple more confidantes, namely Amber and Jennifer.

In addition, Jonathan cared a lot about Yasmin and Jessica. It was not exaggerating to say that every one of those ladies could very well serve as Jonathan's Achilles heel.

Ignatius could not help but be elated at that, though. Firstly, he reckoned that it would be a wonderful experience for him to hold all the beauties captive.

Secondly, considering that the safety of those beauties was Jonathan's weak spot, he was thrilled just thinking about capturing them.

That being said, Ignatius had decided to go after Catherine first, for she was Jonathan's wife, after all. Jonathan's life would turn into a living hell should Catherine cheat on him.

Ignatius exited the airport and hailed a taxi to get to the Harrington mansion.

Despite the darkness of the night, his eyes were shining with absolute resolution.

Meanwhile, Yareth was resting in the parlor at the Harrington mansion.

Out of the blue, he opened his eyes.

A sense of foreboding rose within his heart.

“Old Mr. Harrington, what's wrong?” asked Bruce, noticing a change in Yareth's demeanor as he waited on the old man.

The latter uttered in a deep voice, “This is bad...”

“What makes you say that, Old Mr. Harrington?” Bruce was taken aback to hear that.

“Once a person has lived half a decade, they'll come to terms with the fact that their fate is beyond their reach. At my age, no amount of cultivation is going to make a difference. Still, I've hardly come across anyone who's as sensitive to things as me. I have a feeling that a mighty enemy is approaching us as we speak,” revealed Yareth.

Colors drained out of Bruce's face. “Not even you could hold our enemy off?”

Yareth shook his head. “I wouldn't stand a chance against that person.”

“What should we do, then? Why don't we leave this place at once?”

“It's pointless. We won't be able to escape.”

Bruce was deathly pale. “But we can't just sit on our hands!”

Then came Yareth's command. “Quick. Go get Catherine and Alicia.”

“Yes, Old Mr. Harrington!” Bruce hurriedly went and did as he was told.

At that time, Catherine and Alicia were in the bedroom. Alicia was drawing while Catherine was quietly watching the cartoon, Peter Rabbit.

Right at that moment, Bruce's voice rang out from outside.

“Ms. Harrington. Alicia.”

“Mr. Parker!” Alicia answered the door with a spring in her step upon hearing Bruce's voice.

Instead of stepping inside, Bruce merely stood outside the door. He caressed Alicia's head before telling Catherine, “Ms. Harrington, Old Mr. Harrington needs to see you and Alicia urgently.”

Catherine froze momentarily and agreed, “Okay!”

She might have an indifferent character, but she was astute. For her calm grandfather to see something urgent, she figured it had to be an emergency.

Quick as a wink, Catherine put on her jacket and took Alicia by the hand as they made their way to the side hall.

The duo soon stood face to face with Yareth in the side hall.

“Grandpa!” greeted Catherine.

Alicia paid her respect as well. “Great-grandpa Yareth!”

“Good girl!” Yareth regarded Alicia with a gleeful grin. A fleeting moment later, he directed his line of sight to Catherine. “I have a bad feeling, Catherine. This premonition seems to be coming after you. The enemy's very strong. I'm afraid that even I will be no match for this coming person.”

That astonished Catherine. She unwittingly asked in bewilderment, “I'm now one of Divine Realm, so who'd have the gall to touch me?”
