Chapter 261
The servants and bodyguards they brought to the island totaled less than ten people. After searching for hours, there was still no sign of Queena.
The private island was massive, with less than a tenth of it developed. The rest was dense, untouched wilderness.
It would be easy to get lost in that terrain and wander for days without finding a way out. While no large predators had been spotted, the island was teeming with snakes. If Queena were bitten by a venomous one, the situation could turn critical.
They had already called for a rescue team, but it wouldn’t arrive until morning at the earliest. If something had happened to Queena, by morning, it would be too late. “Bennett, you must have some wilderness gear here at the villa, right? Get a set for me. I’m going out to find Queena,” Oscar said, finally unable to sit still.
“There are a few sets. I’ll go with you.” Bennett’s expression was grim. If anything happened to Queena on the Thompson family’s private island, they would inevitably be held responsible.
“I’ll join you. Yvonne can stay here with Yolanda,” Thomas added.
The men made the decision without consulting Yvonne.
Yvonne was left to keep the delicate, high-maintenance Yolanda company, while everyone else, including Oscar, Bennett, and Thomas, went out to search for Queena.
After the group departed, the vast estate villa fell silent, leaving only Yvonne and Yolanda.
Yvonne turned and started up the stairs.
“Where are you going?” Yolanda called out, seeing her leave.
“To my room,” Yvonne replied. “You should probably go to yours too. As long as you don’t wander off, the villa is the safest place to be p>
The developed parts of the Thompson family’s island were blanketed with
surveillance equipment. The villa itself was a fortress, enclosed by a wall over ten feet high and fitted with a security system. As long as Yolanda wasn’t foolish enough to run off like Queena, she would be perfectly safe.
“But I’m scared to be alone. Besides, I’m hungry. I want a midnight snack.” Yolanda tilted her chin up, her perfectly made up face a mask of arrogance, her tone demanding as if it were her right. Thɪs chapter is updated by
“Then go get something to eat. You don’t need to tell me.” Yvonne couldn’t be bothered with her and continued up the stairs.
Fuming, Yolanda shot up from the sofa, about to lose her temper when a noise came from the villa’s entrance.
Both Yolanda and Yvonne instinctively looked toward the door, where one of the villa’s servants was limping inside.
Due to the short staff, all the villa’s servants had been sent out to look for Queena.
This particular servant was older, and with the low visibility at night she had fallen into a stream and` twisted her ankle, forcing herto amp back to the villa.
“I hope I’m not disturbing you, ladies. I got hurt and came back to tend to my wound,” the servant explained.
“You’re back just in time. Make me a late-night snack,” Yolanda commanded.
After all the commotion late into the night, she was genuinely hungry.
“But I need to go back out to search for Ms. Spencer. The young master ordered everyone in the villa to help,” the servant said cautiously.
Yolanda snapped, “I said I want a snack! Didn’t you hear me p>
Yolanda clutched her chest in anger, looking as if she might collapse at any moment. She couldn’t order Yvonne around, and now even a Servant was defying her
The servant was afraid to offend Yolanda but also feared Bennett’s wrath if she
didn’t join the search, leaving her caught in the middle.
Seeing the predicament, Yvonne walked back down the stairs.
