Chapter 175

“I am…”

Before Lionel could finish his sentence, Daphne suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbing the phone from him. Like a startled animal, she asked the person on the other end of the line, Julien, “Julie’s been kidnapped?”

Julien, usually quick to react, paused for a moment before responding, “Are you sure you’re not the one who’s been kidnapped?”

Daphne stayed silent.

She wasn’t the one who had been kidnapped, but her current situation was even worse than being kidnapped. Honestly, she wished she

had been.

“Who kidnapped Julie?” Daphne decided to ignore Julien’s question.

Julien’s voice came from the other end, “Think about anyone around you who might have a motive. Call me back when you figured it

out.”

And with that, she hung up.

Daphne felt like Julien was trying to help, so she got up from the bed, looking frantic.

With her feet on the soft carpet, she looked at Lionel with an apologetic expression, “Lord Lion, we are both adults now. We should think more maturely. I won’t make you take responsibility. We…”

“You slept with me. Of course you can’t ask me to take responsibility! This is how adults think.” Lionel, only wrapped in a towel, was leaning against the door frame, raising an eyebrow at Daphne.

Daphne’s face must have been awkward.

She nodded reluctantly, “Yes, you’re right…”

She knew it would end up like this. She knew she shouldn’t have followed Lionel home. When did her IQ drop to zero?

Lionel, looking at Daphne picking up her scattered clothes, narrowed his eyes, “Are you planning to leave now?”

What else could she say?

“Lord Lion, you heard it too. My good friend Julie is missing. I need to find her. Once I do, I’ll come back to apologize!” Daphne quickly
