Chapter 327

Xylía felt a sudden panic at Holt’s words.

She’d been shut in for two days straight, stuck with the same bland food and zero sunlight–her chest felt so heavy she could hardly breathe.

Maybe this was just Richard’s way of trying to mess with her head first.

After Holt left, the bedroom fell silent again.

Xylia ignored the food he’d brought; instead, she propped herself up against the headboard, gazing at the chandelier above, her mind replaying every little moment she’d shared with Joshua.

Joshua, will you come for me?‘ she thought.

Holt found Richard in the garden at the back of the estate.

Richard laid a bouquet of fresh flowers at the foot of an unmarked grave, moving like he’d done it a thousand times before, with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

“Boss,” Holt said.

“How’s Xylia doing?” Richard asked.

“Just like you said, she hasn’t left her room in two days, and the windows are all sealed shut,” Holt replied.

“Has she been eating?” Richard asked.

“Yeah, she’s been eating the burgers and Coke we’ve been bringing her,” Holt said.

Richard whipped around to glare at Holt, his stare icy and full of accusation. “This is what you’ve been feeding her?”

Holt felt a cold chill run down his spine under Richard’s menacing glare.

“I… w–we’ve been eating the same stuff…” Holt stammered, voice trembling.

His words came out shaky, his nerves showing plain as day.

Without warning, Richard snatched up a stone from the ground and sent it flying straight at Holt’s forehead.

“She’s a delicate girl–no comparison to you tough guys! Get her some proper Alverland dishes. Pamper her with real good food and drinks!” Richard said, his tone ice–cold.

Richard’s voice was frosty.

Holt nodded quickly.

He hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t hold back his curiosity, and finally blurted out to Richard, “But boss,
