Chapter 59: The Heart Doesn’t Sleep Peacefully
The sudden return of Walter’s only daughter, who had been missing for ten years, caused a stir in public opinion in the country.
News reports continuously mentioned this issue and images from the press conference kept appearing on the television screen.
– Please tell me the truth. What happened recently? You weren’t with Lucasta after leaving that house, right? How could she so easily follow a stranger and leave you behind? Harvey took the remote from Samson’s hand, pressed the off button, and asked seriously.
Knowing clearly that this friend was very smart, Samson didn’t hide it anymore because he needed help from Harvey.
After pursing his lips and pondering for a long time, he told Harvey half the truth, that Lucasta had discovered his status as a vampire, as well as knowing that he was not her brother.
However, he only said that because she saw him drinking blood, she knew and ran away from him, but did not reveal how tragically he was harmed by her.
Fortunately, before coming here, he was able to recover and use his ability to heal the wounds on his body, leaving no trace, otherwise, Harvey would have questioned him until he told everything.
– It turns out the hunters never came to your house, right? Harvey narrowed his eyes and asked.
– Yes.
– But I heard Bonita say that the scene was as chaotic as if there had been a fight.
– I tried to hold Lucasta and she panicked so she knocked over everything to get in the way. Finally, I had to stand still and let her go.
– And finally, she met her rich uncle again and returned to her status as a noble lady. Is that a coincidence?
– Yes, a scary coincidence.
Samson looked at the glass window for a long time and then continued to tell Harvey that William was the person behind the failed assassination attempts that repeatedly happened to Lucasta.
There’s the poisoning, the car accident, and the accident falling from the third floor at Jenny’s birthday party.
However, he really couldn’t understand William’s intentions after seeing the press conference.
If William wanted to kill her, he should take the opportunity that she was alone and eliminate her. Why did he bring her back and announce it to the national media?
– Walter’s huge fortune is being assigned by the government to William to manage on behalf of the missing person. This may also be the reason that prompted him to eliminate Lucasta. Once the police confirm that she is dead, the entire estate will belong to him. Harvey gave a reason that he thought was perfect to explain an uncle always trying to kill his niece.
Harvey also heard about the accident that happened ten years ago to Director Walter and his wife.
However, he didn’t pay much attention, otherwise, he would have soon realized that Lucasta was the child who kept appearing in the police’s search bulletins.
– So what does he mean by bringing her back now?
– Who knows? Why do you ask me? Am I living in his house?
The space fell silent, with only the ticking sound of the clock hands remaining.
Although Samson did not know what William’s ultimate goal was, he knew that his little girl would definitely be in danger in the near future.
His job now is to find a way to approach her and tell her that the person who wants to kill her is that evil uncle and then he will convince her to follow him.
If necessary, he will kidnap her. Just to keep her safe, kidnapping is also a way.
– Harvey, I want to see Lucasta, I need to talk to her. Samson spoke up, breaking the silent atmosphere.
– I heard that this weekend, William will hold a party to celebrate Lucasta. I heard some rich guys talking to each other in the cake shop.
Harvey replied, then stood up, took the phone, and called Aurora, informing her that the annoying vampire was residing in his apartment.
These past few days, the situation was as tense as a string, so he didn’t dare go to Aurora’s house, he could only buy the cake and ask someone to deliver it to her to cheer her up at this time.
Just like that, for several days in a row, Samson just stayed in the luxury apartment, while Harvey was still busy at work, leaving early in the morning, and returning home after sunset.
Both guys also planned to break into that luxurious but private party.
The number of invitation cards sent to guests is limited. Only beautiful young men, women, and famous rich people in the city were invited, so no matter how hard Bonita tried, she couldn’t buy an invitation card.
The reason is that everyone wants to take this opportunity to become friends with Lucasta, who will inherit a huge fortune.
And then, the weekend arrived. When darkness gradually falls, it is time for two handsome guys to put on expensive, elegant suits.
Having lived in the world for two thousand years, this is the first time Harvey has attended a party like this.
– Very handsome, dude. Yet you scared your adopted sister almost to death. Harvey patted Samson on the shoulder, letting out a sarcastic comment.
Samson said nothing, focusing on adjusting his shirt collar.
He remembered the day Lucasta threw garlic water and shined the cross on him. At that time, even he was scared when he looked at himself in the puddle, let alone her.
The little girl he took care of even ran away from him when she knew the truth. Who would help him break the curse?
– Wear on. Samson gave the silver mask and black wig to Harvey.
Honestly, Harvey really hates putting someone else’s hair on his head but there is no other way.
This very special hair will make him and his companion exposed before Lucasta’s eyes. At least, Samson had to have time to approach her and talk.
If she ran away or screamed as soon as they appeared, both of their efforts would be lost in the sea.
– My handsomeness has decreased by fifty percent. Harvey clicked his tongue as he looked at himself in the mirror.
– If you wear a mask, no one will see you.
After Samson put on the gold-plated mask, they quickly went to the basement to get a car and then drove straight to the King Hotel in the city center.
The lavish party will be held here and the cost is an amount that can overwhelm people.
The parking lot located in the basement looks like a huge collection of supercars.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Harvey drove into the right corner and gently nudged Samson’s elbow. Following his fellow man’s eyes, Samson quickly recognized two men who had just stepped out of a car worth millions of dollars.
– Let’s go hunting. Samson smiled slightly and quickly unfastened his seat belt.
Both vampires got out of the car together and approached the two men.
They originally planned that if they couldn’t steal or rob the two invitation cards, they would use their superpowers to get inside the strictly guarded banquet hall.
However, that is the worst way. To reduce the risk to a minimum, two invitation cards are extremely necessary.
– Hey guys.
Samson called out, and when the two rich men turned around, two handkerchiefs soaked in anesthetic landed on their faces.
In just a blink of an eye, they completely lost consciousness, falling into the arms of two handsome vampires.
In a split second, the two unlucky men were brought back into the car by two vampires.
The two invitation cards also left the old owner and flew into the hands of the new owner.
– Take a nap. The girl’s brother did not want the two of you to become his brother-in-law. Harvey closed the car door and winked at Samson.
– Let’s go.
Both guys quickly moved out of the parking lot and used the elevator to get to the top floor of the building, where the lavish party was about to take place.
Samson’s feelings right now are quite mixed, he is both a little happy, a little nervous, and also worried.
Before, if he just raised his hand to wave and call, Lucasta would run like a little squirrel to wrap around his arm, but now, he has to use this unique way to approach her.
– Please come in. – The doorman happily spoke up after receiving two invitation cards from two guests.
The moment Samson set foot in the banquet hall, he quickly looked everywhere.
Among so many girls wearing prom dresses and expensive masks, he quickly recognized his little girl standing in the corner, next to a vase of flowers almost as tall as her
The mask covered the upper half of her face, revealing only her sad blue eyes.
– Let’s split up so we can reach her easily.
Harvey received a glass of wine from a waitress, whispered into Samson’s ear, and then joined the crowd.
His perfect physique and expensive clothes quickly attracted the eyes of wealthy ladies.
While Samson almost never took his eyes off Lucasta, the blonde girl kept looking down at the tips of her high heels.
She is still not used to parties like this. She didn’t want to come here and be the main character, but because her uncle said this party was to raise money for charity to help poor patients, she nodded and agreed.
Her heart is always so kind.
– Come on, Lucasta, don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’ll accompany you. – William walked over and smiled kindly at Lucasta.
She understood, took his arm, and walked up to the stage with him.
Harvey smirked when he heard William announce the purpose of the party.
How could a cruel person who wanted to kill his niece more than once have a kind heart to think of poor people who are not related by blood?
When William’s speech ended, the bustling music sounded.
After going inside and changing into a new dress and mask, Lucasta returned to the banquet hall.
She felt very lost, took the glass of wine, and headed to a deserted corner.
The passionate sweetness from the expensive brandy made her a little excited. Previously, Samson only let her drink light fruit wine.
– Can I invite you for a glass of wine?
The man’s warm voice rang out softly, but when it reached Lucasta’s ears, it was no different from a sound from hell.
She trembled and took a step back. The glass of wine in her hand almost fell to the floor, but fortunately, Samson quickly caught it.
If she remembered correctly, the last time they met, the wounds she caused him had not yet healed, and his face was still very scary.
But today, she knew he had completely recovered because his skin was smooth, white, and flawless.
– You… why… why are you here? Her voice became weaker.
– I’m here to protect you. Lucasta, please calm down and listen to me, I’ll speak quickly.
Seeing that the blonde girl seemed to want to refuse Samson’s offer, Harvey had to take action. He took a sip of wine and then quickly moved to the main power source of the floor and in the blink of an eye, the entire top floor was dark.
