Chapter 1766 Push The Blame
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The butler and other staff came back after searching the premises.
"Countess Kerr, no one was found upstairs."
"She isn't in the garden either."
"She isn't in the basement."
The butler glanced at Countess Kerr and said softly, "I have searched every room on the second floor, but Miss Huo is nowhere to be found."
"Are you sure you checked every single room?" Countess Kerr emphasized upon 'every single room'.
The butler caught Countess Kerr's hint and nodded. "Yes, we did."
Countess Kerr's mind went blank again.
If she could not be found, it could mean only one thing. Her husband had taken her.
She did not know who wanted the girl eventually. Her husband had simply told her that the girl would not come to a good end.
The girl might have already been taken off the premises, but she did not dare to utter a word. If she admitted to this, she would attract huge trouble.
"Search again. Search every corner of the premises!" Countess Kerr could only give the order again.
Five minutes had already passed. She wondered how her husband was doing now.
"Then, shall we check with His Highness?" The butler turned to leave but paused briefly before he added deliberately.
Prince Rocco had close ties with the count's family. If he was invited to speak on behalf of Countess Kerr, the Huo family, and the Weapons Bureau might just let things slide on his account.
Countess Kerr promptly caught the butler's drift and found her savior. "Of course. We need to find the girl badly. I'm sure His Highness won't take it to heart."
The butler quickly headed to the tea room on the eastern side of the residence.
They were given orders not to disturb Rocco, so no one went to the tea room when they searched for Huo Yao.
When the butler got to the corridor, he ran into Huo Yao as she walked out. He was stunned upon seeing her.
They had been searching high and low for ages, but she finally showed up on her own.
The butler snapped out of his daze. He did not know why Huo Yao would suddenly be present here, but he immediately felt relieved. "Miss Huo, where have you been? Your family is making such a commotion trying to find you!"
He spoke loudly, so Huo Yulin hastily raised his head and looked at the person in the corridor.
That was his little sister.
Huo Yulin hurriedly walked over. "Are you okay?"
"I'm good." Huo Yao shook her head. She glanced at the scary-looking bodyguards from the Huo family standing in the hall. "My bad, Brother Yulin. Sorry for making you worry."
Her third older brother sounded exactly the kind of guy to disregard ties with the count in order to look for her.
After confirming Huo Yao was not hurt, even though Huo Yulin was quick to get angry, his fury quickly dissipated as well. "I'm glad you're fine."
Countess Kerr quickly walked over. The moment she saw Huo Yao, the look of shock on her face disappeared as she questioned her sternly.
"Miss Huo, everyone has been searching for you. Where did you go? Do you have any idea the trouble your disappearing act has caused?"
Countess Kerr did not stop to think about where Huo Yao had appeared from earlier. She simply wanted to make it clear that they were the victims in this incident.
"You ruined my husband's birthday banquet, but I can understand. My husband is in grave danger, but his doctors were taken away so that we could find you. People think we deliberately detained you. If you don't explain yourself, you won't hear the end of this!"
Countess Kerr's eyes turned red and she was on the brink of crying.
