Chapter 167: Where Did Ella Lacey Go?

After resting and eating at the camp, the group split up to do various activities in the vicinity.

Ella Lacey stayed in the tent, feeling stifled.

Arthur, for unknown reasons, had become cold after driving away intruders like Ruby Carter and Charlotte Gale.

He wouldn't let her touch him.

He wouldn't talk to her either.

Even a glance from him carried a cold cruelty, as if to say, "Just try getting close to me".

He turned his back to her, engrossed in something on his navigational device.

"How dull."

Ella Lacey, feeling neglected, decided to get out of the tent and ran into the forest alone.

She encountered a group of girls who curiously asked, "Ella Lacey, why hasn't Mr. Arthur come with you?"

"…" Ella Lacey was feeling down – they were bringing up the exact thing she didn't want to hear.

Seeing Ella Lacey saying nothing, they started whispering among themselves:

"What connections does she have? Why is Mr. Arthur being so nice to her?"

"Is he? She's alone now!"
