The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1295

Dawn was approaching, and the room fell into silence.

In the dim light, Luna approached the bedside with a steady stride, looking down at the person lying on the bed from a position of superiority.

Without warning, she forcefully threw off the blanket, grabbed the unconscious Phoebe, and dragged her onto the floor.

Phoebe jolted awake, but before she could react, her body crashed onto the hard floor, scraping her chin. Blood flowed from her gums, staining her mouth red.

In pain, she covered her mouth and collapsed to the ground, crying out in agony.

At that moment, a sharp dagger was pressed against her neck from behind, chillingly cold against her skin.

“If you dare to make even the slightest noise, your life will end here and now,” Luna’s chilling voice echoed, causing Phoebe to shudder in fear.

Utterly confused, Phoebe wore a bewildered expression, faced with this sudden turn of events.

Yet, the sharp sensation on her nape served as a stark reminder that this was all too real. It was truly happening.

Her heart pounded fiercely, initially out of fear, then giving way to anger, compelling her to struggle.

“What kind of lowlife are you, daring to lay a hand on me in the Cox residence! Release me at once, or I’ll call for help and ensure you meet a gruesome end!”

Luna remained utterly expressionless upon hearing this, not even blinking an eye. She pushed the dagger down slightly.

In an instant, the blade of the dagger was stained red with blood.

The sudden surge of pain made Phoebe turn pale with shock. Fear gripped her entire body, leaving her too terrified to move an inch.

She hadn’t expected the other party to actually take action. Her only hope now rested on the people inside the house.

Just as she was about to scream out loud, Luna’s voice echoed again, chillingly terrifying.

“It seems you don’t believe my words,” she said. “Let me tell you, in the entire Cox residence, you’re the only one who’s awake right now Everyone else has been put under my spell. You can scream all you want, but only you and I will hear it. If you’re so eager to die, I can grant your wish right now.”

As she spoke, she exerted a bit more force with her hand.

Finally, Phoebe realized that everything she said was true. Terrified to her core, she quickly pleaded, “Don’t! Don’t kill me!”!

Even now, she wasn’t sure what had actually happened.

Gritting her teeth, she dared not act arrogant anymore, and could only swallow her anger and ask, “Who… who are you? Why are you doing this? Let’s talk it out. I can give you whatever you want, as long as you let me go.”

Seeing that she finally calmed down, Luna released her grip and moved to stand in front of her.

>Phoebe was lying on the ground. First, she caught sight of Luna’s boots. Then, her gaze trailed upwards along her

black skinny jeans, until finally, she saw Luna’s face.

In an instant, she was dumbstruck, not knowing whether she was scared or simply taken aback.

“How… How is it you?!”

Luna looked at her indifferently. “Who else did you think it was?”

Phoebe was at a loss, and by the time she reacted, she was so scared that she propped herself up, moving back in a flustered manner. She ended up with her back against the bedside table, too frightened to even stand up.

She knew all too well about Luna’s reputation. In fact, she had heard of how formidable and ruthless Luna was.

“What, what are you here for? I belong to the Cox family, and we have nothing to do with Lordsworth Estate. The Cox family is the second most powerful force in Bartitsu Guild. You… you wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me!”

She didn’t know why Luna came, so she tried to use the Cox family’s name to scare Luna off.

Luna seemed completely unfazed. “What about the Cox family, and what about Bartitsu Guild? If I dared to come here today, it means I don’t take you seriously. Aren’t you making a fool out of yourself

by saying these things to me now?”

Upon hearing this, Phoebe was both shocked and furious. “You… You’re incredibly arrogant!”

“Arrogant?” Luna seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke, a rare expression appearing on her face. It was full of mockery.

“Do you even have the right to tell me that? Phoebe, do you know why I’m here today?”

Luna toyed with the dagger in her hand. “It seems you haven’t quite grasped the situation. Do you really think your actions can’t be traced back to you? Or do you believe that being a member of the Cox family gives you the right to act as you please? Huh… Even if you are the Cox family’s precious daughter, it depends on whether others acknowledge this status. Do you really think your identity is so noble? You should take a good look at yourself. You’re not even worthy of carrying Ms. Garcia’s bag.”

Upon hearing these words, Phoebe finally came to her senses.

“You… You were sent by Neera?”

Luna’s cold and unyielding gaze was fixed on her. “Do you really think she has the time to bicker with you? She’s completely unaware of this matter.”

Phoebe realized something, and her pupils constricted suddenly.

Could it be that the people I sent were really detained by Lordsworth Estate?

Have they confessed to everything now?

So, did Lordsworth Estate send this woman to deal with me?

For a moment, her mind was in utter chaos, completely at a loss.

She couldn’t understand why the people of Lordsworth Estate would go to such lengths to protect Neera!

No matter what, the Gordon family is still a force under the banner of Bartitsu Guild. It is one thing to help her once or twice, but to secretly protect that despicable person even when she’s out having fun is just too much.

What merits does that woman have to receive such preferential treatment?

Also, I’ve been so discreet, and Nicholas is a careful person too, he wouldn’t easily give himself away. How did Lordsworth Estate find out?

Even though it is a matter concerning Bartitsu Guild, the entire Lordsworth Estate is aware of it.

Is she truly that influential?

The more she pondered, the more anxious she grew.

Her gut feeling warned her that regardless of the other party’s words, she must not confess.

Considering the present circumstances, the ruler of Lordsworth Estate is an erratic lunatic. It is uncertain what he may do next.

Maybe, could actually meet my demise by this woman’s hands!
