My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 381: Surrounded by His Scent

Caleb’s gaze shifted away from the red wine in his hand, lifting coolly to meet Luna Lancaster’s eyes. Though his gaze was calm and unassuming, it made Luna’s heart tremble with fear, as if she were being threatened with a dagger at her throat.

But he was clearly just a fool before, and now even a frail person; how could he possibly do anything to her?

Luna thought, lifting her chin to return his gaze.

"Did I ever say I would save her?" Caleb sneered, casually swirling the crimson liquid in his glass.

"You said that if she helped you with your tasks, you would definitely save her. She’s been locked up by Jared right now, and you’re acting as if it doesn’t concern you at all. My sister must have been blinded to cooperate with you..." Luna’s emotions were a bit agitated.

The Lancaster Family didn’t know what happened; all their business partners stopped collaborating with them, leaving the family in ruins. Now, with Sheryl Lancaster caught, Luna was the only one left.

Caleb suddenly lifted his head, "I agreed to help her seduce Jared, not to harm someone she shouldn’t. Now that something’s happened, she has to bear the consequences. Even if Jared doesn’t lock her up, she can’t escape from me either."

"What do you mean?" Luna’s emotions were slightly out of control, her long nails digging into her palms. "Don’t forget, it was you who worked with my sister. If she clues Jared in about you, the Adler Family will be doomed as well!"

"Then let him come," Caleb said quietly, turning away, his tall figure standing against the light.

That is, if he’s able to return unscathed.

He wondered what it would feel like to be betrayed by his own brother.

"You... you just wait," Luna left unwillingly. She could do nothing for now, except to hide as far away as possible.

Or find a powerful man, someone more formidable than Jared, to rescue Sheryl Lancaster.

Two days passed.

She had always been able to get in touch with Harold Chapman, but the information she received was that Jared had not been found yet.

Melody Thorne stared blankly at the wardrobe filled with Jared’s clothes, all the air in the bedroom was soaked with his scent.

Jared was unreachable. She was momentarily confused and sad, the sadness akin to that of a past life.

In this life, they often bantered, but Jared never hurt her, so she did not wish him any harm.

Even leaving... even leaving, she would reconsider if he could return safely.

Footsteps sounded from downstairs, as if many people had entered the Quinn Group’s lobby.

Jared returned?

Melody Thorne stepped out of the bedroom. Her clear eyes slightly narrowed as they landed on the man standing downstairs, her hand instinctively tightening on the fabric of her dress.

At that moment, Titus Quinn happened to lift his head, his gaze falling on her. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Melody Thorne’s first reaction was that Titus had returned. If he was here, then what about Jared?

Suddenly, she felt a chill around her.

"Sister-in-law," Titus spoke first, his eyes filled with sorrow. "I’m sorry, we were attacked in Crestfall. My brother is missing, his whereabouts currently unknown."

In that instant, Melody Thorne’s mind felt as if a bomb had exploded, her face going several shades paler.

She wanted to help Jared escape Titus, but things did not happen as they did in the past life; ultimately, Jared was still missing.

What scared her most now was not that Jared was severely injured, like in the past life, but that he was...
