Chapter 238 Secret Of The Todd Residence

That night, Natalie stayed at the Todd residence.

The maid that the butler arranged also came to take care of Natalie, but she was not used to being taken care of and was even more afraid that the maid was there to monitor her, so she sent the help away.

When she was alone, she wanted to contact Yandel and ask him to help find out about the Todd family or the Hoffman family. However, she noticed that even though the battery percentage of her phone was seventy, there was no signal at all.

Not only was she unable to communicate with the outside world, but the tracker that Xavian placed on her would be useless as well. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

For the whole night, she could not fall asleep.

Since the mansion was dead silent, the sound of the wind blowing and leaves rustling were more obvious, giving people a spooky feeling.

Moments later, Natalie decided to walk around the mansion. Hence, she put on a coat and got up from the bed.

Incense and acupuncture were just excuses to buy time so that she could think of a way to save Cecilia.

I must bring Cecilia out of here as soon as possible. In order to do that, I’ve to be familiar with the environment and the roster of the patrolling guards.

The mansion was humungous. Guards were patrolling around the courtyard and the main house, but since she was the miracle doctor invited by Liliana, neither the guards nor the servants dared to be rude to her.

It was a dark night.

The trees shook their branches, dancing in the night breeze.

Only a few rooms in the whole mansion were dimly lit. Yet, one of the rooms on the second floor was as bright as day, which was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing that, Natalie bent down and climbed over the shrubs. Then, she climbed to the window sill of the room on the first floor and stepped on the bulges on the brick wall, making her way up to the second floor bare-handed. Instead of entering the mansion, she only clung to the wall and listened carefully to the movements inside.

“Five hundred million? It’s nothing to me. What do you think of me? Now, I can afford to spend fifty billion, let alone five hundred million,” Milton exclaimed.

“Milton,” the woman called out sweetly. “You’re amazing!”

“Who do you think you’re calling? Call me Mr. Cheney!”

“Mr. Cheney…”

“Good!” Milton laughed haughtily. “Julian must have never imagined that the final winner would be me. That woman has already gone mad, and I’m now the helm of the Todd residence. Hurry up and take off your clothes. I’ll take good care of you tonight!”

“No…”

The following dialogs were too obscene, so Natalie did not bother to listen to any of them.

After she returned to her room, she still could not calm down.

The person who took over the Todd residence was not Liliana but the so-called butler.

He had long known that Liliana was paranoid and that her mental state was not stable. Thus, he deliberately led her to a more delusional direction and gained her trust to become the real helm of the Todd residence.

This is completely out of my imagination. No matter what, the only thing I’ve to do now is to ensure my escape plan is foolproof.

The next day, Natalie was awakened by the maid.

The latter had brought breakfast to her room.

While Natalie was eating breakfast, the maid silently accompanied her. The maid looked solemn, and there was no expression on her face.

If she had not talked to Natalie yesterday, the latter would have suspected that she was a mute.

It was a good thing that the maid was not talkative. Because of that, Natalie did not need to spend time dealing with her.

Not long after breakfast, Milton personally delivered the medicinal ingredients she wanted.

“Dr. Nichols, the medicinal ingredients that you want are extremely expensive. I’ve worked extra hard to find them for you.”

“Thank you. You’re really efficient,” responded Natalie. “However, I still need a lot of tools to make the incense. When the time comes, I’ll need your help to get ready the tools that I need.”

“Of course. No problem.”

Milton was good at acting. If Natalie had not heard his conversation the previous night, she would never have thought that he was a man full of schemes.

After Milton left, she began to check the medicinal ingredients.

As expected, dragonblood fruit was at the Todd residence.

Opening the exquisite wooden box, she caught sight of the bloody red dragonblood fruit.
