Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 324 Busted Again

Lela blinked and looked at the calm Mildred, feeling nervous. She blinked her eyes again and said, "Mildred, why are you back? Weren't you out for business?" The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.

Lela knew she was in trouble. She had gone out and caused a mess, and now Sylvester had found out.

Mildred looked at Lela, who was trying to come up with an explanation, feeling a bit helpless. He brought over an umbrella to cover Lela. "Lela, why are you running around again? And avoiding security cameras? It took us so long to find you." Lela pouted and said, "I didn't know you guys were back."

Mildred led Lela into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and turned to look at her. "We've only beenaway for three days, and you've disappeared again. Do you even realize that you are..."

Before he could finish, Mildred realized he had misspoken and quickly shut his mouth.

Lela's expression darkened upon hearing this.

He was right.

She was Mutant.

There were many people trying to capture her.

After all, her body was extremely valuable.

Mildred felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Lela. I didn't mean it. I wasn't thinking."

Lela looked out of the car window at the pedestrians walking under umbrellas in the night, feeling a deep sense of envy.

She was Lady Phoenix, Emily, a disciple of the Divine Doctor Association, but so what?

No matter how powerful she was, as long as she was Mutant, she was put at a disadvantage.

She couldn't fight against the whole world.

If there really came such a day, she couldn't bear to sacrifice her friends and use their lives to fight against the world.

One day, she would destroy the Immortal Man, who was burdened with a multitude of sins.

Lela huffed out a breath, composed herself, and said nothing more.

When they arrived at the gate of Dragon Manor, the night guard quickly opened the heavy iron gate. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lela through the car window. Thank goodness Lela was back. The boss's wrath could be appeased.

At the villa entrance, Mildred got out of the car and held an umbrella for Lela. Half of his body was already wet from the rain.

Mildred earnestly said, "Lela, Sylvester is probably feeling upset right now, so be careful.

"Sylvester came back and found that you weren't home. He didn't even rest before sending us to look for you.

"You don't know how worried Sylvester is. He is afraid that the enemies might have killed you!

"Right now, many people in Pliar country are looking for you.

"Please hurry up and go inside."

Lela said nothing but felt deeply moved inside.

She pushed past Mildred and went in.

As soon as she entered, she saw the servants kneeling before the sofa. Lela clenched her hands, thinking that Sylvester must be very furious this time.

The servants, seeing Lela return safely, were no longer concerned but didn't dare to speak. Their expressions were much more relaxed than before.

Lela turned to see Sylvester sitting on the sofa. His handsome profile was tense, and his sexy lips were tightly pressed together, making Lela's heart quiver involuntarily. Sylvester looked so fierce.

Seeing that Lela didn't come over, Sylvester glanced at her, his eyes under long lashes filled with authority. His voice was low as he said, "Come here."
