Shattered Rose He Held On Tight novel Chapter 171

171 Who’s the Mastermind?

Finished

Claudia couldn’t tell if someone had given an order. But the moment she stepped outside, every light in the manor went dark.

In the darkness, she tried to find a few servants to ask where to go.

Maybe the mastermind had thought of everything. After the Romeros rushed to the hospital, all the servants had been sent away.

She stood alone in the empty house, emotions all over the place.

Honestly, she didn’t know if Sterling was still at Romero Manor or if something bad had happened to him. This time, though, she chose to trust her instincts.

At worst, she’d just look foolish.

Claudia strained to remember where Sterling might be. Finally, she followed her memory toward the bamboo garden.

The wind and rain beat down on her. After her umbrella nearly flipped a few times, she gave up on it and ran through the downpour.

If she was right, Waylon and Fiona’s sudden reappearance was just a diversion from the start.

Exposing the older generation’s scandals had grabbed everyone’s attention, especially Donovan’s. The mastermind had neatly drawn them away.

When the inheritance was being divided, all the Romeros had their eyes on it.

But the mastermind had been after just one person.

Sterling.

Anyone who knew all the Romeros‘ secrets and could boss the servants around had to be family.

Almost everyone was here tonight. Only a few were overseas or in a nursing home.

So who could it be?

Rain hit her face like needles, but Claudia didn’t even think about stopping.

A voice inside pushed her to find him fast.

Luckily, when she neared the bamboo garden, she spotted a faint light.

Finished

Right before she reached the gate, someone stepped in front of her.

The guards at the entrance stared at Claudia, who was soaked from the downpour, with suspicion and surprise.

She quietly clenched her hands at her sides.

She straightened up and glared at them coldly. “I know you’re just following orders. But if Sterling gets out of this tonight and any of you touch me, he’ll cut your hands off.”

In the darkness, their faces showed fear and doubt.

They wanted to stop her, but none of them dared.

Claudia used that moment to dart past them.

One of them snapped out of it and hurried after her.

Luckily, aside from a couple of beefy guys, the rest were just ordinary servants.

Claudia shook off those she could and fought back against the ones she couldn’t lose.
