Predestined Marriage
Chapter 552 To Lure Her into Country M

Stanley's voice suddenly disappeared from the phone.

Summer looked nervous. She frowned and said seriously, "Stanley? Stanley, speak!"

But there was no response from the phone.

Summer put down her phone and looked at it. She found Stanley had hung up.

Summer looked at her watch. It was one o'clock in the morning.

It was one o'clock in the morning in Country M, and noon at home.

Summer pursed her lips and dialed Stanley's phone number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unreachable."

Summer dialed several times in a row, but she couldn't get through.

She put down her phone in frustration, and pressed her temples. Dropping her head, she fell into his own thought.

Stanley called her in the middle of the night. It was possible that he had just got his phone. The phone suddenly stopped just now. It was very likely that he had been discovered, so his phone was taken away. But Summer was certain that Stanley was safe now.

Although Summer didn't know why Connel brought Stanley to Country M by force, fortunately, he didn't do anything to Stanley.

But why was Stanley so anxious to drive her home?

Stanley said that Connel wouldn't stop her if she wanted to leave. Wasn't it self-contradictory?

At present, the only person Summer knew in Country M was Connel. It was her first time in Country M, and she had never offended anyone here before.

Even if someone wanted to harm her, she could only think of Connel. Therefore, Stanley told her to hurry back. The person who he wanted her to be on guard was not Connel, but someone else.

In that case, did Stanley save Summer back then because of this mysterious person? Did Stanley regret it now?

Summer felt his thought was probably correct.

If Summer was correct, Connel forcibly brought Stanley back to Country M in order to lure Summer here, right? Once Summer's previous hypothesis held, her deduction would be valid.

Stanley had an ulterior motive in saving her from the beginning, but she didn't know what it was. Stanley didn't tell Summer. Leonard suspected that Stanley might be the hypnotic expert who hypnotized him back then, causing his memories to be sealed.

Not long after, Stanley was forcibly taken away by Connel, and Summer followed him to Country M.

Stanley called her late at night to ask her to hurry home.

Until now, Stanley had never done anything to hurt her. She believed Stanley would not harm her. However, was she really going to return home empty-handed?

She had not found Stanley yet, and she did not know who was trying to harm her.

It was more than likely that Stanley knew who wanted to harm her. He was fine now. If Summer returned home, would something happen to him? Thinking of this, Summer hesitated.

She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned her head against the bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

However, she was quickly awakened. She dreamt that Stanley was smiling at her with blood all over his body. Summer couldn't fall asleep after that.

Since Summer couldn't sleep anymore, she got out of bed and put on her clothes, intending to explore the villa.

She was unfamiliar with the place. It was better to take the initiative to attack. Even if Stanley was not in the villa, she might be able to replace some clues.

After Summer got dressed, she walked to the door, opened a crack in the door, and quietly looked outside.

There was no one in the corridor. Only a few wall lights were on, dusky and yellow, looking a little lonely.

Summer stood by the door for a few minutes. After confirming that no one was there, she left with stealthy footsteps.

Summer first walked along the corridor and took a look at the stairs. There was also a small light on in the hall. The light was very dim and no one could be seen in the quiet hall. The villa had several floors. She wanted to go upstairs first.

The rooms on the upper floor were all closed. Every time she passed by a room, she would lean her ears against the door to listen for any movements.

Summer tried all the rooms, and there was no movement at all.

She crept downstairs. Just as she reached the staircase on the second floor, she could vaguely feel someone behind her.

There was someone behind her?

Summer turned around and saw a woman in white pajamas with long hair, which covered her face, standing in front of her. Summer cried out in shock and took a few steps back.

The woman in front of Summer adjusted her hair behind her ear and revealed her face. "Ms. Summer, what are you doing here now?"

"You are Jenny." Summer finally saw her face clearly. Summer closed her eyes slightly and heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm a little thirsty. I want to get some water."

Maybe it was because Jenny woke up in the middle of the night, her voice was eerie and distant, "Really? Then why did you come down from upstairs?"

After she finished, she looked upstairs and then turned her gaze back to Summer.

Summer had already regained her composure at the sight of Jenny. Her expression was extremely natural as she said, "In a daze, I woke up in the middle of the night. When I went up, I realized that I had made a mistake."

Jenny seemed to believe it. She said, "Well, I also got up to drink water. Ms. Summer, do you want to come down with me or should I serve it for you?"

"Anyway, I have got up. I'll go down with you." After Summer finished speaking, she took the lead to walk downstairs.

As she walked, she intentionally listened to Jenny's footsteps.

Then she discovered that Jenny almost walked without any sound.

During the day, Summer didn't pay much attention to it. But when she went downstairs just now, she was highly concentrated, and she didn't hear Jenny's footsteps. In this world, there were only two types of people who walked quietly.

One was a ghost, and the other was a martial arts expert.

Obviously, Jenny was very likely to be the latter.

During the day, Jenny looked innocent. Summer almost believed that Jenny was just an ordinary maid.

To be able to walk without making a sound meant that she must have received professional training. She definitely wasn't an ordinary person or an ordinary servant.

Suddenly, Jenny, who had been walking behind her, walked up to Summer and said, "Ms. Summer, follow me. It's too dark in the living room. Let me turn on the lights for you."

Her footsteps became a little louder, as if she deliberately wanted Summer to hear it.

Women's instincts were always accurate, and Summer believed in her own feelings.

When they arrived at the living room, Jenny walked to the sofa and said to Summer, "Ms. Summer, sit down first. I'll serve you water."

"Alright, thank you." Summer smiled and sat down on the sofa, watching Jenny go get water for her.

As soon as Jenny's figure disappeared, the smile on Summer's face faded away.

Dropping her head slightly, she looked somewhat solemn.
