His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1496

“When I was delivering food to her and noticed that there was no one in there, I opened the door to check. Before I knew it, she knocked me out. She was already gone by the time I came to,” the lady explained in an aggrieved manner. Worried that Celia wouldn't believe her, she even rubbed the location where she was struck.

“Fine, fine. I have no time to look at your head.” Celia rubbed the same spot and ordered anxiously, “Check the security feeds to see which direction she went and send men after her. But I have to warn you, if you can't find her, your days are numbered.” “Understood. I'll look for her at once.” Panicking at her aunt's words, the lady had someone check the feeds immediately.

“Once I get my hands on you, I'll teach you a lesson.” Just thinking about the escape infuriated the young lady.

By the time she left, Celia packed her things and headed out too.

She hurried to inform Monisha of the escape. In the event they couldn't find the escapee, the latter would need time to make preparations.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the palace entrance. The moment she saw Monisha, she approached quickly and pulled the latter aside.

“What is so important that you can't tell me over the phone and need to speak to me in person?” Monisha asked Celia the moment she saw her.

Even though Celia was Monisha’s sister-in-law, she still treated her with respect. After all, Monisha was a close aide of the queen mother. Therefore, she was the reason their family was enjoying a good life.

After scanning her surroundings, Celia whispered, “Monisha, that woman has gone missing.”

Monisha's expression changed drastically. “Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her? How did you lose her?”

Celia related the escape to Monisha.

As the sullen expression on Monisha's face grew more intense, she stared at Celia. “Didn't I ask you to spike her food? How did she manage to escape by knocking your niece out?”

Celia, too, was baffled by it, for she had spiked the food just as she was told.
