Chapter 159

Sophia kept her gaze fixed on Jarvis, the man who'd just taken them captive.

He practically radiated arrogance-enough to set entire villages ablaze.

Yet here he stood, trying to appear as harmless as a kitten.

"Miss Lancaster, I'm going to cut the rope," he said softly, as though afraid to startle her.

With a swift motion, he drew a military knife and sliced through the restraint. He paused a moment, then turned his face aside before speaking again.

"Please find a pair of jeans in that wardrobe. I'll let you and your family go. This was all a mistake."

A mistake? Sophia didn't believe a word of it.

Tigers didn't just stop being predators overnight.

Still, she wasted no time hurrying to the wardrobe.

She dug out a pair of jeans she could find and slipped them on, all while watching Jarvis out of the corner of her eye.

Surprisingly, he didn't move a muscle.

He stepped to the doorway and called out, "Soldier! Take Miss Lancaster to her family and escort them home."

"Yes, sir,” the young officer replied, confusion flickering across his face. They had barely been here an hour-why set them free so soon?

"Please follow me, miss," he said.

She followed him hesitantly, her confusion mounting. Before she left, she turned one last time to Jarvis.

"Did you meet Alex?" she asked.

Jarvis thought of that man sitting so calmly at the table earlier.

He chose silence over any explanation. Sometimes, silence was the best answer.

Seeing he wouldn't speak, Sophia followed the soldier out.

Minutes later, the entire Lancaster family was driven away from the mansion.
