Chapter 174

Janet buried her face into her palms and stayed like that for nearly one minute.

Then she looked up and wiped her tears away.

She had made up her mind.

She would not go after Daran.

Daran had his own thing to do. She wouldn’t be of any help to him.

Plus, she never agreed with Daran’s approach in the first place. If he decided to be the martyr and risk his own life for it, so be it.

Though she made the rational decision, she still could not ignore the splitting pain in her heart.

Despite all the harm that Daran had caused her, she truly wished that he could survive it this time.

Janet stood up and put on her jacket, slipped on her sneakers.

She wanted to leave her room immediately after, but then she heard the sound of Wendy knocking on every maid’s door, driving them to go upstairs and clean the

mess.

She didn’t want to be seen by anyone. So she stayed in her room quietly with the light out and waited for Wendy and the others to go away.

About 40 minutes later, the hallway finally became quiet again.

Janet opened the door a crack and swiftly dashed down the corridor.

Edwin told her to meet him in the woods near the South Gate.

She knew a shortcut, which went through the West Wing of this palace and led to the

palace’s back door. She could avoid being seen by the others.

Janet took the staircase and quickly came up to the ground floor.

Most guests and maids were still gathered in the ballroom on the other side of the palace.

The West Wing was completely empty when Janet entered it.

She picked up her pace, heading straight towards the back door.

Yet just then, the floor shook violently beneath her feet!

Janet was almost knocked to the ground.

She regained her balance and looked around in panic.

…What was that?

An earthquake?

Another wave hit right after the first one. The palace rattled, its floor trembling, the once–steady walls quivering as if shaken by an unseen force.

A loud, rumbling noise filled Janet’s ear as though the foundation of this palace was being torn apart!

An astonished gasp escaped Janet’s lips as the fragile artifacts chattered to the ground. The next second, the chandeliers swayed dangerously overhead, and then came crashing down to the floor!
