Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

---

Fifteen minutes later, the maid helped Emmeline out of the bathtub. Then, Emmeline was asked to lie down on a massage table.

The thin, petite masseuse began massaging Emmeline's body, starting from her neck all the way down to her feet. After the massage session was done, Emmeline took a quick wash. Then, the masseuse applied some lotion and essential oils to her skin and rubbed it all over her body.

The entire process took more than two hours to be completed.

Emmeline had almost dozed off by the end of the session. When she opened her eyes and saw the condition of her skin, she was shocked by how smooth and supple it had become.

My skin feels absolutely amazing right now! Wouldn't the ladies go crazy if they knew that there were such methods to achieve such soft, velvety skin?!

"We're using a secret method that was practiced by the Natryan royalties." The masseuse noticed the look of bewilderment in Emmeline's eyes.

"What's your name?" Emmeline's eyes shone with excitement and curiosity as she looked at the masseuse. "Do you work here?"

"You can call me Summer." Summer Rowen introduced herself, "I applied for a job here since they were offering their employees very high pay."

"Don't you feel scared working at a place like this? It's as if the palace lord is the demon himself! You'd never know what might happen next working for a man like him!" Emmeline said.

"I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't scared. Just look at what happened to Mr. Linden. Unfortunately, once a person gets accepted for a position here, the person won't get to leave this place of their own free will. They'd have to work here until they were deemed useless," Summer explained.

"Do you know the palace lord's name?" Emmeline asked, "Why does he wear a mask all the time?"

"I don't know his name. I don't even dare to look him in the eye. I'm just trying to do my job and make as much money as possible so that I can send money to my family back home."

Emmeline fell silent as Summer mentioned her family. She could feel tears coming to her eyes.

Sun, Moon, and Star must have been scared and worried when they found out that I was missing. They probably cried a lot.

Did Daisy and Sam inform Benjamin about my disappearance? I hope Benjamin won't tell Master Robert about this. Master would definitely ask Waylon to come and look for me.

That would be one of the worst-case scenarios ever! I wouldn't get to enjoy my freedom as much as I did before… I hope Benjamin will keep quiet about this.

What about Abel? Would he try to look for me if he were to learn about my disappearance?

Hah… I even find myself missing you a little, Abel.

Sigh… I should stop thinking about all that. I'm counting on Daisy and the others to look after my children. I should focus on finding a way to get out of here!

I can make the antidote to counteract the effects of the Vampire Dust. However, all of my herbs and ingredients are stored in the lab back at the cafe.

This lady, Summer, might be my only chance to get access to the ingredients I need.

"Summer." Emmeline began, "Since you need to prepare for the milk bath and the massage session, do you happen to have access to ingredients like herbs and spices?"

"Why are you asking about that, Miss?" Summer was giving Emmeline a manicure.
