Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 305

The butler, a man in his fifties wearing an apron, shook his head and said, "I have no idea. I'm not a live-in butler. I just come by for a couple of hours every afternoon to tidy up and manage some of the household affairs."

"When I arrived today, I found the door wide open, and there was no one inside. I tried calling both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, but they wouldn't pick up. They probably had a fight and stormed out."

"I didn't dare call their parents, so I thought I'd better ring you first."

"You did the right thing. Let's keep this from their families for now," Finnian replied.

The butler nodded, and Finnian continued, "Stay here and keep an eye on things. We'll go out and look for them."

"Understood."

Amara and Finnian headed downstairs. Amara suggested they split up to search for Elysia and Dorian, thinking it would be quicker.

But Finnian stopped her. "It's dark out. It's not safe for you to be wandering around alone. Stick with me."

"Not safe? We're not living in the Middle Ages," Amara retorted immediately.
