"I'll ask you one last time. A girl came with me tonight. Where is she?" Huo Yulin spoke unhurriedly, sounding intimidating.
Anyone could tell that his patience was wearing thin.
Countess Kerr tightened her fists and acted as though she finally remembered who he was talking about. "Oh, her? Didn't I send her upstairs to get changed into fresh clothes? I will send someone to bring her down."
Countess Kerr raised her hand and gestured at the butler.
The butler quickly went upstairs. In less than two minutes, he came back downstairs looking shocked. "Countess Kerr, oh no. That maid… died."
Countess Kerr promptly looked worried. "Huh? What about the girl then?"
"I couldn't find her. All the rooms on the second floor are empty and she's gone."
"How could this happen?" muttered Countess Kerr.
She stopped trying to hide the fact that Morey was hurt. She simply said quickly, "The count got ambushed and injured. The girl might be the culprit."
Everyone went into a commotion on hearing this.
No wonder the count's residence went on high alert. They did not expect this to happen.
Huo Yulin looked at Countess Kerr coldly. He did not want to waste his time watching her act. "Enough. You have three minutes. If you don't hand over my little sister. I don't mind razing the entire estate to the ground."
Huo Yulin retrieved a gun with a silencer and raised it to mid-air to fire a shot. In an instant, the chandelier in the main hall crashed to the ground.
After falling to the ground, it gave off a loud crash. No one was standing under the chandelier. However, some broken pieces of glass unavoidably got onto the guests.
"Ahhh!"
Screams could be heard coming from everywhere.
Countess Kerr automatically raised her hands to cover her head with her face looking scared. She had completely lost her cool. "How can you be so unreasonable? The count is still in grave danger. I know your sister is missing but is it our fault?"
Countess Kerr paused briefly.
She felt Huo Yulin was publicly slapping the count's face. She suppressed the fear in her heart and shouted sternly. "This is the count's residence. You're from the Huo family, but this is the count's territory. You have no right to order us around. Don't you have any respect for the count? Men! Catch these people and send them to the cops!"
Countess Kerr's words were no use at all. None of the guards at the residence stepped forward. Xie already had everyone under control.
Countess Kerr tried shouting a few more times before she finally gave up.
"Two minutes." Huo Yulin turned the gun with a cold murderous look on his face.
Countess Kerr took a step back. She parted her lips wanting to speak but got interrupted.
"Countess Kerr, you got one thing right. The count should probably survive the gunshot, but no one knows for sure now."
Zhuo Yun came out holding a doctor in each hand and threw them in front of Countess Kerr.
Fluster finally emerged in Countess Kerr's eyes when she saw the doctors.
They had made arrangements for these doctors to wait in the residence. Now that her husband was shot, he needed surgery to remove the bullet. Without surgery, the consequences were unimaginable.
Countess Kerr disregarded her image entirely and her eyes turned red. She automatically wanted to pull the doctors up. "Hurry up! Go save the count!"
