Chapter 733: Tina Mistreats My Brother

In the entire villa, at this moment, only a few square meters around their feet were illuminated. Everywhere else was plunged into pitch darkness, the two maintaining defensive positions for a full half-hour, with silence still reigning all around them. Apart from their breathing, no other sound could be heard. The short-tempered bodyguard number one frowned, "Damn, what's going on? Is it just a normal power outage?"

They weren't worried about Eric escaping through a window. The moment Eric had returned, the Lyon family's security had him encircled tightly from inside out, leaving no room for escape. Stephanie usually traveled with bodyguards, and escaping under these circumstances would be impossible even for ten Erics.

Bodyguard number two slowly relaxed his stance but remained tense, "I don't know."

He paused, then took out a walkie-talkie, "This is Team Three, there's an electrical issue in the villa, send someone to check the fuse box. I can't believe that in such a luxurious place we would run into this kind of issue by chance."

In the darkness, Stephanie was hiding around the corner of a corridor, secretly watching the only lit area of the villa, her teeth biting her lip, eyes eager. She had managed to sabotage the villa's lighting controls, and yet, why weren't they checking it? If they stayed there, how could she ever rescue Eric?

Stephanie's palms grazed the wallpaper as she nervously fiddled with it, making a crackling sound.

"What was that sound?"

The second bodyguard, exceptionally sensitive to noise, especially given the surrounding quiet, heard the slight disturbance clearly. As he spoke, the chandelier overhead flickered twice and then brightened again. Eric looked up at the glaring light, his cracked lips curving into a mocking smile, "Idiots."

Outside, unbeknownst to Stephanie, the sudden illumination made her hiding spot obvious, and the bodyguard downstairs spotted her presence without even looking up. Bodyguard number one locked eyes with her directly, "Miss Lyon, what are you doing here?"

His scrutinizing gaze made her forehead break out in a cold sweat as she fumbled with her fingers, "I... I was scared! I didn't know what happened, it just suddenly went dark, and I didn't dare stay by myself, so I came out to check." Stephanie blinked rapidly, her face a picture of innocence.

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, not entirely believing her story. But Nathan's orders were only to keep a close watch on Eric, and with no harm done today, they were reluctant to complicate matters further.

back now, Miss Lyon, you should return to your room," said bodyguard number one, without a sideways glance. He didn't even offer to walk her back, his arm outstretched, his gaze oppressive. Stephanie cast one glance at him and quickly lowered her head, cursing those unromantic fools to herself - even now, they were still focused on
