When Wendy arrived, Eliza immediately rushed forward, grabbing her hand with a worried expression. “I don’t know what happened. She just fainted all of a sudden. Could it be because Cramer said he liked slender figures, so Vivian overdid her dieting?”

“This child…”

Wendy frowned. How could Vivian harm herself just for a man?

“Hurry and take Miss Vivian upstairs.”

“I’ll go with her and keep an eye on things. If she wakes up, I can help.”

Eliza’s anxious face showed nothing but concern.

Wendy didn’t question it. Instead, she instructed the servants, “Call the doctor right away. Her body has always been weak. If this is low blood sugar, it could be dangerous.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The servants quickly dialed for the doctor.

“Mrs. Cullinan, I wasn’t finished speaking.”

Nolan’s voice pulled Wendy’s focus back.

She said, “Let’s move somewhere quiet to continue.”

“Fine.”

Nolan agreed.

As he left with Wendy, he cast Eliza a subtle look.

Eliza caught the signal. After escorting Vivian to her room and making sure others were occupied, she slipped back to the elevator.

She had already prepared. A thin film coated her palm, capable of lifting fingerprints. That was why she had insisted on holding Wendy’s hand earlier–to capture her print.

Now all she needed was time. The elevator cameras would eventually expose her, but Nolan had arranged for hackers to breach the estate’s systems.

That gave her just one minute of cover.

Using Wendy’s print, Eliza accessed the elevator. It worked. The doors opened on the second basement level.

The moment the doors parted, she spotted Wendy’s personal bodyguard. He noticed the

elevator too.

Heart racing, Eliza ducked behind the control panel, keeping herself out of sight, then quickly shut the doors. The guard lunged forward, but the elevator scaled first. Eliza pressed the button for the third floor.

Earlier, she had already spotted the stairwell. From there, she could slip down unnoticed.

With the systems blind for just a minute, she couldn’t waste a second.

The guard, realizing something was off, barked into his radio. “The elevator’s malfunctioning. Check if someone got inside.”

“Yes, Captain.”

In an instant, the entire estate went on high alert.

Wendy, still in the middle of her talk with Nolan about how Henry had found and destroyed her channels, shot up from her seat when the alarm sounded. Her gaze darted toward the elevator.

“Mrs. Cullinan, what’s happening?”

Nolan’s chest tightened at the thought of Eliza, but his face betrayed nothing.

She was clever. He trusted she had already planned her escape. What mattered now was buying her time. If Wendy realized their true purpose, everything would fall apart.

“Apologies, Mr. Hayes,” Wendy said coolly. “Something’s come up in the estate. I can’t continue hosting you and Ms. Rivers.”

Her

eyes narrowed. “Speaking of Ms. Rivers, is she still on the second floor? I’ll have the servants call her down. Vivian isn’t well. She’ll stay home tonight.”

“I’ll fetch her myself,” Nolan offered.

“No need. A servant can ask her in just a word.”

Suspicion prickled in Wendy’s heart. Normally, her estate was quiet and uneventful. Yet since Eliza and Nolan had arrived, trouble had followed one after another.
