Chapter 815 No Escape
Sebastian looked at Kristoff, and his face fell. “Are you going to defend them? If you are unaware, my
father is—”
Before he could finish, the elderly man behind Kristoff suddenly waved his hand, and Sebastian was sent
flying backward. He fell to the first floor before crashing onto the ground. Blood spurted out of every
orifice of his body, and the ghost of his last growl remained on his face.
Sebastian’s lackeys were shocked by their boss’ death, and they scrambled to escape, lest they wound
up dead as well.
Kristoff looked around, and the martial artists who were watching the show earlier quickly retreated into
their rooms. Evidently, they were scared of the person before them.
“Hello, ladies. My name is Kristoff Shalvis.” Kristoff extended his hand, but all he gained in return was the

It was understandable since they were about to vent their anger and sorrow on Sebastian and his
lackeys only to have Kristoff suddenly showing up and taking that chance away from them.
After that, Jared came out of the room. He looked at Kristoff, then he held Josephine and Lizbeth’s
hands. “Come on, let’s go back to our room.”
“Hmph!” Renee snorted at Kristoff before she followed Jared back into the room.
Kristoff paused for a moment. After Jared took the ladies into the room and closed the door, he narrowed
his eyes.
“Mr. Kristoff,” the elderly man who was behind Kristoff came up and called out to his young master.
Kristoff waved him down. “None of my prey has ever escaped me before. It’s too late for now. We shall
speak of this come tomorrow.” With that, he turned and left.
Back in the room, Lizbeth flung Jared’s hand away, but her face was red with embarrassment. When
Jared suddenly held her and Josephine’s hand outside earlier, her heart almost leaped out from her
chest from how nervous she was feeling.
“Sorry. I was just doing it instinctively. I didn’t mean it,” Jared quickly explained himself, lest Lizbeth took
it the wrong way.
Lizbeth shook her head, but she stole a glance at Josephine, worried that she might get jealous.
However, Josephine seemed like she was spacing out, and she didn’t look like she felt anything about it.
“What’s wrong, Josephine?” Jared noticed Josephine’s dazed look as well, and he was worried.
“It’s nothing.” Josephine quickly shook her head.
“Oh yeah, Draco told you ladies something, didn’t he? What did he say?” Jared wondered what kind of
deal Draco made with the ladies.
“It’s nothing. Anyway, it’s getting late now, so you should get to sleep. We need to hit the hay now too.”
Josephine pushed Jared out of the room.

with a somber feeling. Nobody said anything to break the silence. The only sound in the room was their
breathing.
A while later, Josephine said, “Lizbeth, if I can’t make it out safely, please take care of Jared in my place.”
“You don’t have to be so pessimistic about it, Josephine. Draco said you guys don’t really have to
sacrifice yourselves. Maybe Jared can take the essence without your help.” Lizbeth tried to cheer
Josephine up.
Josephine smiled. She knew her friend was just trying to comfort her. “Lizbeth, if this is what fate has in
store for me, then I shall accept it. I never expected that I’d be blessed with a fiery constituent, but now
that I know, I am willing to give my life up for Jared.”
The smile remained etched on her face as she spoke, but it looked forlorn.
The ladies stopped talking, while Melanie thought to herself, Why are these ladies so ready to give
themselves up for Jared? Why do they like him so much?
