The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 299

Sophia, who was sitting in the living room of Ren’s penthouse, was shocked when she read a message from Karl on her cellphone.

Was this true?

No wonder she felt something was odd when she received a message from Karl yesterday asking her to rush to Moravia to meet him. She was tricked. It wasn’t Karl who sent her the message, but …

Who did it?

Was it Elios who already knew Sophia’s involvement in the kidnapping of his daughter?

Sophia’s chest immediately started pounding. However, the girl still tried to organize her expression so that she didn’t look scared or anxious. After all, she was a noble girl who had lived for hundreds of years.

She was trained to always show elegance and class, no matter how messy the situation she was in. The girl then pressed her forehead and winced in pain.

John who was standing in the corner of the room noticed the girl’s pained expression and immediately approached her.

“Are you all right, Miss?” he asked.

Sophia closed her eyes and shook her head. “Uhmm .. yeah, I’m fine.”

She waved her hand as if to show that she was not worried about her headache. But then, her expression of pain seemed more intense. This of course made John unable to remain silent.

Ren had told him to take Sophia from the airport to the penthouse and waited for Karl’s arrival. John was then instructed to let them go once Karl came.

Sophia and Karl had no idea about this. Karl thought Ren was serious about killing Sophia using John’s hands.

That was why Karl hurriedly told Sophia to run away, while he tried to find a safe place for them to meet.

Sophia, who was asked by Karl to escape, immediately thought of a plan to trick John and left the penthouse. That was why she pretended to be sick.

“Uhm … I want to go to the bathroom,” Sophia said. “Are there any pain relievers in the toilet?”

John nodded. “There are medicines in the guest bathroom. Please come with me, Miss.”

“Hm … thanks,” Sophia staggered after John.

Along the way to the restroom, her eyes darted at her surroundings. Earlier, she had seen a sizable ceramic flower vase on the console table attached to the wall on the left.

If she could hit John with the vase quickly, she could knock this man out and she could run away.

Sophia walked over to the console table and pretended to rest her hand there as if she was about to support her body which was reeling from a severe headache.

John immediately approached her when he realized that the girl had stopped walking toward the bathroom. Sophia looked completely in pain.

“Miss, do I need to call a doctor?” he said as he walked over to Sophia.

When John was almost there, Sophia dropped her bag on the floor.

“Ahh … I’m sorry. My head is so dizzy. Can you please get my bag?” asked the girl with teary eyes.

John nodded. He bent down and grabbed Sophia’s bag from the floor. It was when he was bending down that Sophia picked up the heavy flower vase from the table and slammed it into John’s nape.

“Ahh ….” John, who did not expect to be suddenly attacked by the graceful woman whom he thought was in pain, could not endure the impact from the vase on his nape and immediately fell to the floor with a thud. He soon passed out.

“Oh my God …” Sophia dropped the vase in her hand to the floor with a slightly trembling movement. She then rubbed her hands quickly since they were hurt from holding the weight of the vase.

After confirming that John indeed passed out, she then searched the man’s clothes and took a gun from under his jacket. Sophia put the gun into her bag then hurried out of the penthouse.

In her haste, Sophia got into the elevator and descended into the lobby. When she got there, she ordered a taxi.

“Where are you headed, Miss?” asked the receptionist in a friendly manner, holding the receiver with his right hand.

Sophia waved her hand impatiently. “To the airport.”

According to her, the airport was a safe place because it was crowded and she could disappear in a crowd. She could also escape immediately with the various available flights.

All she needed to do was wait for Karl. Ah … why did everything have turned into a mess like this? She thought nervously.

They were very close.

Sophia could already guess what Karl and Ren were planning when she read various news about the crown prince of Moravia on the internet who had announced his marriage with an ordinary girl.

She immediately scrutinized all the scattered photos from Ren and Vega’s holiday in Bali and she was able to identify the woman in the picture as Elios’ daughter.

No doubt. Even though her hair and eyes were in different colors, the girl’s face was very similar to that of her bastard cousin.

Sophia was a smart girl. She could relate the kidnapping incident to the prince’s secret marriage to a commoner and his press conference.

That meant, Karl’s nephew had successfully entered the Alchemist clan. They had got what they were aiming for. Once they entered the clan … Sophia could imagine that they would slowly destroy the clan from within.

But … Why now the situation suddenly turned sour? What had happened exactly? Did Elios find out about their plan?

Was he chasing them now?

Sophia squeezed her hands, which were beginning to sweat with anxiety. Nevertheless, her pretty face still looked calm on the surface.

As soon as the taxi ordered by the receptionist arrived, Sophia immediately thanked the man and got inside.

“To the airport, Sir,” said the girl after she got into the back seat. The taxi driver nodded respectfully and immediately drove his vehicle towards Almstad International airport.

After she calmed down in the taxi, Sophia opened her cellphone and sent a message to Karl’s number who had called her earlier.

All this time, Karl always contacted her via secret channels. He always contacted her through her staff’s cell phone at the cafe instead of directly to her phone. But today. Karl contacted her without any intermediary indicating that their situation was very serious.

Finally, Sophia was able to send a message back to Karl.

[I’m headed for the airport. Shall we meet there?]

[Yes.]

Sophia put away her cell phone and squeezed her bag with a pounding chest. The trip to the airport, which should have only lasted half an hour, now felt so long.

Meanwhile, Ren who just arrived at his mansion looked surprised when he saw Linda greeted him at the door with teary eyes.

“Ah … Sir, you are finally home,” said the woman, wiping her wet eyes.

“What’s wrong, Linda? Why are you crying?” asked Ren in surprise. “Is there any problem?”

Linda shook her head. “No, Sir. These are tears of joy …”

“Tears of joy?” Ren glared at Linda. “What do you mean?”

Linda smiled broadly as she wiped her tears again. “Madame … Madame has come.”

Ren needed some time to digest what his housekeeper was saying.

Madame has come?

Was she talking about…

Vega?
