Chapter 852: Escaping Overnight

Book:Became A Queen After divorce Published:2024-6-3

Kelvin, dressed and ready, walked out with Cheyenne holding his hand. He looked at Benson with a sharp gaze, determined. His lips parted as he spoke in a cold tone, “If you can’t do it, then leave it to me!” He wouldn’t let anyone bully his family without bearing any consequences.
Benson frowned at Kelvin’s words and glanced at Cheyenne before noticing the two children who had just returned from buying ice cream outside. Cierra was still unaware of what had happened and smiled innocently like an angel.
To make sure she could always smile like that, Benson made up his mind. “No need for that. If it really is her, I’ll take care of it myself.”
Cheyenne knew she couldn’t stop him and worriedly said, “Benson, you don’t have to feel obligated to do this yourself. I can handle it.”
But Benson was resolute in his decision despite appearing gentle towards Cheyenne. “It’s not just for you,” he said firmly.
“It’s because I invited you all here to the hot springs resort as the hostess. She acted so recklessly on my territory that she insulted me too.”
Hearing this made Cheyenne realize there was no stopping him now; all she could do was nod in agreement.
As night fell over the Callahan Villa, it was lit up brightly with lights inside.
Camilla had been restless since returning from the hot springs resort earlier in the day; she’d been waiting anxiously for news about Cheyenne’s death.
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Camilla heard footsteps approaching outside and instinctively looked up towards the door where a man wearing black suit stood before her bowing respectfully and saying, “Miss Callahan.”
This man was one of those whom Camilla sent out earlier during the day to release snakes into the resort.
Camilla asked nervously. “How did things go? Did that woman die?”
The man shook his head apologetically before bowing again saying. “I’m sorry, Miss Callahan; I failed my mission today! Cheyenne was unharmed… unfortunately, Mr. Shaffer got bitten instead.”
“What? How could this happen?” Camilla exclaimed, looking visibly shaken by this news.
She paced back an forth nervously on wooden floors while rubbing her hands together anxiously
“This is bad! Mr. Shaffer is a royal painter who enjoys the Queen’s favoritism. If something happens to him due to my mistake, then surely my engagement will be ended.”
The man in black didn’t say anything, but what he wanted to add was that not only Mr. Shaffer, but also the Miller family were not to be messed with.
Camilla was extremely frustrated. Angry, she slapped the man in front of her.
“It’s all your fault! I told you which room Cheyenne’s family was in. Why did you get the wrong person?”
The man had a five-finger mark on his face, but he still stood up straight. “Miss, we didn’t expect them to change their location at the last minute.”
“Time is limited and we can’t investigate where they are located. That’s why we came up with this plan of killing them even if it means making a mistake.”
“You idiot!”
She gave him another slap in the face.
“I’m sorry, Miss,” said the man as he received another blow from Camilla. “Since this matter hasn’t been exposed yet and no one knows it’s you behind it all, please pack your bags quickly and leave for abroad to avoid trouble.”
Abroad…
Although Camilla was a member of the Callahan family, but she grew up in Metshire since childhood. She didn’t return back home until she turned 18 because of an arranged marriage.
Now her engagement was at risk and she had to leave alone without any support from anyone else? How could she agree?
“Is there no other way?” asked Camilla.
The man shook his head. “For now, this is your best chance to escape punishment, Miss; if you delay leaving or hesitate… things could get worse.”
“Do you know about Cheyenne’s visit four years ago when she made trouble with the Miller family?”
Four years ago when the Miller family held half of their country’s economic power; they planned an internal cabinet rebellion against their king which would have ended badly for everyone involved except for themselves.
However, everything fell apart due to a young girl who was in her early twenties yet.
Their plot failed overnight after being exposed by her actions which led directly into secret execution orders from the king himself.
Though that event happened four years ago, people still remembered it vividly.
To maintain the majesty of the royal family, the king executed the head of the Miller family but thus offended the Miller family, which put him in constant fear.
That was when the idea of a marriage alliance came to mind.
Now that Camilla has released a snake that has bitten the most favored son of the Miller family, if Benson truly intends to kill her, the royal family would never dare to offend the Miller family at this crucial moment just for her sake.
After much consideration, Camilla agreed to go abroad.
“Okay, I’ll pack my bags now. I don’t know how long we’ll have to hide, so I need to bring a lot of things.”
“You go find two maids to help me pack and then find a private plane. My whereabouts cannot be leaked.”
“Yes, I will do that.”
That night, Miss Callahan dressed in an elegant and carefree Posillipo dress with a woven straw hat and high heels prepared to board the plane.
The helicopter’s propeller stirred up strong winds that lifted her skirt like waves.
More than ten maids behind her carried luggage onto the plane as if they were emptying the entire villa.
The black-clad bodyguards had been waiting impatiently. They were supposed to escape for their lives but ended up waiting for three or four hours while she packed everything up. She even took two hours just doing hair and makeup alone!
He had planned on leaving at 2 am but now it was already bright outside.
“Be careful with my stuff,” Camilla warned them. “And don’t touch that box; it contains valuable artwork worth millions!”
“Yes, Miss,” they replied obediently as they hurriedly worked under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards who reminded Camilla. “Miss, if I’m not mistaken, tomorrow morning at the latest the Miller family may come looking for you.”
Camilla didn’t take his words seriously; she spent all night packing! How could he expect anything more from her?
“If anything goes wrong, it’s because you idiots messed things up!” she snapped at them angrily.
The man lowered his head in guilt while Camilla continued berating him until suddenly over a dozen black luxury cars broke through the Callahan family’s defenses and rushed towards them!
“Get her!”
