Chapter 913

Despite being 80 years old, Steven was rendered speechless by Zoey. Now, this was quite awkward. Despite the five families' claim to protect Zoey and her family, they requested her to stay in Innerzen Medical Center to lure the young lord out to rescue them. "Of course, we won't restrict your movement. But for now, it's better for you to stay at Innerzen Medical Center to keep others from harming you," Steven said. "Mr. Draig, are you one of those who will harm us?" Zoey asked. Unable to respond, Steven flashed a smile and said, "We mean no harm. Someone will meet you tonight, and you'll soon understand what's going on." Ranked third among the five families, the Draig family was also one of the participants in the Tropical Deathmatch. Zoey wasn't the only one who couldn't trust them—the other women found it hard to do so as well. Escaping was their top priority now as relying solely on the young lord's protection proved to be impractical. Perhaps Cyrus was only the young lord's pawn. Now that he was gone, the young lord wouldn't give much heed to Zoey and Mira. Realizing Steven's intention, Zoey stopped pressing and went upstairs. "Zoey, are they trying to keep us captive?" Margot asked. "Definitely. It's probably an order from the five families. They're using us as bait to lure out the young lord if he comes to save us," Zoey said coolly. "Even if the young lord comes and saves us, there's no way for him to resist the five elders. He's only in his 20s, but the elders are all at the Majestic Doctor Realm. None of them are below 120 years old," Cecilia added. "You all must leave, no matter whether the young lord comes or not," Jace said. "But with the Draigs in our way, we can't possibly leave," Nicole said. "It's fine," Jace replied. "We'll draw their attention away tonight so that you guys can leave through the windows. Innerzen Medical Center will become a battlefield sooner or later. You can't stay here." Zoey nodded. "Exactly. When the battle begins, no one can protect us." After some contemplation, Margot came up with an idea. "Nicole, let's go back now and liquidate as many assets as we can to an overseas account as our future allowance." "Yes, we should hurry up now." The moment Nicole, Margot, and Bella approached the door, Steven's son stopped them. "Ladies, as Cyrus' lovers, your safety can't be guaranteed if you leave Innerzen Medical Center." "Don't worry, we don't need your protection," Margot retorted. Agitated, Nicole blurted out, "Are you trying to keep us captive in broad daylight? Hank!" With a loud clang, Hank unsheathed his sword and boomed, "Let them leave! Otherwise, I'll kill anyone who stands in my way." Steven had no choice, but it didn't matter as long as Zoey and Mira stayed back. The others weren't supposed to be under their protection anyway. "Let them leave. Watch out for the Olsens, the Shaws, the Andersons, and the Sykeses." "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Draig." In the next instant, Nicole and Margot sped toward the headquarters in their sports cars. Even if Margot had to stay back and liquidate her assets, she'd ask Zoey to take her son away first. She couldn't help but lament why Cyrus always refused to settle down with his women and enjoy his life in luxury. Lost in her thoughts, Margot failed to realize a black motorcycle tailing her. It was Seraphine. She parked her motorcycle in front of the Foster Group building and waited for an opportunity to strike.
