Her eyes grew misty.
A mix of exhaustion and relief washed over Isabella’s aching body. But there was no time to dwell on emotions. Her mind quickly assessed their situation. Even with their skills, taking on so many palace guards would be nearly impossible. How could they possibly escape?
Savannah, now back on her feet, glared icily at Andrew. “When did you regain your memory?”
Andrew was still gripping the whip as he said, his tone cool, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Still acting? Why did you run off right before the engagement ceremony began?” Savannah’s anger flared.
“I blacked out on the road,” Andrew responded, his voice unbothered.
“You expect me to believe that?”
Savannah scoffed, disbelief etched on her face. Before she could continue, one of her attendants hurried in, thrusting an iPad into her hands.
“It’s true—he did faint suddenly on the road, and a servant took him to a room for treatment.”
Savannah reviewed the surveillance footage, and much to her surprise, it was exactly as Andrew had said. After leaving his room that morning, he had veered off course, eventually collapsing without warning before being carried away by a servant.
Still suspicious, Savannah narrowed her eyes. “Why were you walking in that direction to begin with?”
That road didn’t even lead to the venue for the engagement ceremony.
Andrew said, “I honestly don’t know. I was dizzy.”
As he spoke, his expression remained calm, making it difficult for Savannah to gauge the authenticity of his words.
Her eyes darkened slightly. “Why did you go out alone?” She had meticulously arranged for a few trusted individuals to keep a close watch on Andrew, monitoring his every move. Yet, Andrew had managed to slip away from their surveillance and go out on his own.
Savannah couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Andrew shook his head and said solemnly, “I don’t know either.”
Savannah turned to the servant, who hastily explained, “I spoke with the people assigned to watch Mr. Klein, and they said he suddenly attacked them, knocking them all unconscious. They also said Mr. Klein looked very strange.”
Andrew chimed in, “I’ve been having headaches lately.” As he spoke, he clutched his head, and his expression twisted with discomfort.
His pain seemed genuine, and looking at him made Savannah feel uncomfortable. Suddenly, she remembered the hypnotist’s warning. Indeed, he could alter Andrew’s memories, but it would inflict significant harm, particularly to his brain.
What Andrew was experiencing now seemed entirely plausible because of the hypnotist’s manipulation. Savannah stared at Andrew for a few seconds, quickly assessing the situation.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Come on. You need to rest.”
Savannah helped Andrew sit on the chair nearby.
Andrew still looked extremely uncomfortable, and beads of sweat were already covering his forehead, trickling down his handsome face. Savannah’s heart sank at the sight of this. She was even more convinced that his headache was a result of the hypnosis.
“By the way, what did you mean by regaining memory just now?” Andrew asked, looking confused. “Did I lose some memories?”
“No. Don’t think too much about it. Just get some rest,” Savannah said gently.
Her main goal was to ensure Andrew attended the engagement ceremony. So, it was good that he hadn’t regained his memory.
However, it seemed Andrew didn’t want to rest. He looked at Isabella and asked, “Who is she? Why did you hit her? You’re not that cruel.”
Savannah stammered, “She… She did something wrong.” Then, she turned to her subordinates and said without hesitation, “Take her away.”
Savannah’s men followed her orders.
Waylon had been searching for Isabella everywhere. Finally, he spotted her approaching. He quickly strode over to her, only to be filled with anger and horror when he saw the wounds and bruises all over her body.
“Isabella, what happened? Who did this to you?” Waylon immediately grabbed her hand, his eyes brimming with concern. A sense of protectiveness rushed through him. Since her return to the family, every family member had been exceptionally caring and concerned about her. If they found out she was hurt, they would beat him to death.
“It’s nothing. Just minor injuries,” Isabella shook her head, forcing a smile. However, her face was deathly pale.
“Minor injuries? Have you seen yourself? You’re covered with wounds and bruises,” Waylon said, his eyes reddening.
He asked through clenched teeth, “Who did this? Was it Patty or someone else?”
“Waylon, calm down first. I’m fine, really. I’m hurt, but it’s worth it,” Isabella said calmly. “I obtained some crucial information.”
She leaned closer and whispered in Waylon’s ear, “Andrew has regained his memory.”
“What? He regained his memory?” Waylon was stunned. But the anger simmering inside him intensified. “He regained his memory, but just stood by and watched you get hurt? That’s not Andrew at all. If the former Andrew knew you were hurt, he would definitely…”
“Ahh!”
Before Waylon could finish his words, a piercing scream suddenly echoed through the building, interrupting him. The guests in the grand hall rushed in the direction of the voice.
“What was that? Did something happen to the princess?”
“Oh my God! What happened?”
“Let’s go see!”
Instantly, a crowd of people swarmed, eager to find out what was happening. Isabella and Waylon exchanged glances and silently followed the crowd upstairs, towards the source of the noise. Everyone gathered around the door of Savannah’s dressing room.
“Is it true? Mr. Klein hit Savannah?”
“Oh, my! This is insane! Has the world gone mad?”
“What’s going on?” Waylon asked someone in the crowd.
“Oh, it’s unbelievable! Mr. Klein hit Savannah. And I heard him threaten the guards that if they came in, he’d kill her. They’re still inside the dressing room. We don’t know the exact situation,” the man replied, his shock and nervous anticipation evident on his face. After all, this was the first time a princess had been held hostage in the palace. Such an unprecedented event had shocked everyone.
Moreover, the two involved were soon-to-be-engaged. This incident was almost too much to comprehend.
The commotion had reached Yolanda Wilson, Savannah’s mother, who rushed over to see what was happening. As soon as she arrived, the crowd instinctively parted to make way for her.
Yolanda stood at the door, banging on it angrily, “Open the door!”
“No, don’t!” Savannah screamed from inside.
Her miserable cry squeezed Yolanda’s heart with a tight grip. “Savannah, what’s going on in there? Andrew, I’m warning you—if you dare hurt Savannah, I’ll kill you.” There was no response from inside.
Yolanda turned to the crowd, her chest tightening with anxiety. “I’m sorry, everyone. Please return to your places,” she said, her voice steady despite the tension.
Given the gravity of the royal scandal, no one dared stay and continue watching. The crowd silently dispersed.
Once the guests had finally left, Yolanda turned to Babette, barely able to hold back her rising fury. “Babette, what on earth were you thinking? This is a massive incident, and yet you just let everyone linger? Why didn’t you send them away immediately?”
If Babette had done her job properly, they wouldn’t have ended up as the center of everyone’s ridicule, humiliated in front of so many eyes. The reputation of the royal family was everything—it was something that simply couldn’t be tarnished.
Babette, on the other hand, remained completely calm.
“Maybe I should be asking you about Savannah and Andrew instead. Didn’t you claim they were truly in love?”
Yolanda’s face briefly betrayed a hint of guilt, but she quickly pushed it aside. “Of course they are. Savannah’s a kind-hearted, gentle girl,” she responded.
Her gaze shifted toward the door, her eyes filled with worry. “Andrew, come out here this instant. Just tell me what you’re after!”
She knocked firmly on the door, and it slowly creaked open. However, Yolanda froze in shock as Andrew seized Savannah and leapt straight out of the window with her.
“Ah!” Yolanda cried, rushing forward in horror.
This was her only daughter—her precious Savannah.
