Trial Of Love Chapter 387 - Saved His Little Sister

"Big Sis you're back?" Jo hurried to the door when he heard it open and welcomed Megan who had the look as if she'd seen a ghost. "Big Sis, what's wrong?"

"We need to move…" Megan spoke with such urgency.

"Why? What's wrong, tell me?" Jo asked worriedly seeing how pale Megan looked.

"Master Shou's ladies are here…"

"What?" Jo was so shocked that he almost lost his balance. "You mean, the Black Lotus is here?"

"Yes, I was sure I saw Akita earlier… I'll never forget that fake smile on her face." Megan bites her lips in annoyance.

"So, what should we do? I mean, Lord Knightley is a man that can't be trifled with in the first place. Do you think Master Shou is working for Lord Knightley?"

"I'm not sure; better get some information on that at once. If he is, then we better get her out of her at once before everything gets bloody." Megan suggested as she carried herself upstairs to check on Elizabeth.

Jo was left on his own with such a heavy burden. He wished to listen to Megan but seeing the situation was out of control. He was left in a dilemma if whether he should report to the higher-ups or continue to stay silent and listen to Megan's order.

"Damn it! What should I do? Stef is dead and now the Black Lotus is in our turf. This is bad, really bad…"

Jo continues to ponder on the situation until he recalled what Megan asked him to do. He hurried to the office as he went ahead and check on the information Megan asked him to check.

Meanwhile, Megan was just standing by Elizabeth's door and was wondering if whether to inform the girl of the truth seeing the situation has turned 180.

She knocked on the door and waited for Elizabeth to respond.

"Who is it?" Elizabeth who was on the other side of the door asked.

"It's me," Megan spoke in such a warm and comfortable yet fake tone.

"Oh…"

The door was opened from the inside and Elizabeth greeted Megan who had this fake smile on her face which was pretty obvious causing Elizabeth to wonder what's going on.

"Did you have a good rest?" Megan inquired.

"I did, thank you for all your help." She responded cautiously, wondering what's going to happen next.

"Why don't we have tea?"

"Uh..." Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment and thought to herself a good excuse to leave as per her agreement with Jo earlier. "Thank you, but I need to go. I'll be late soon and I need to head to where I need to go."

"Must you really leave already? I mean, why don't you tell me where you are going and maybe I can help you?" Megan asked directly to the point, hoping this will help resolve their problem.

"It's fine, I can take care of myself."

The girl's answer felt like as if the mountain was crumbling down on her. She was almost at the top yet here she was again back to nothing. She thought she was able to gain some of the girl's trust yet it seems her wall was just too high for her to even reach. In the end, she had no choice but to go along with it once again.

"Then, why don't I prepare some stuff for you to take. I mean, who knows when you'll be able to eat again. One's journey can be unpredictable and you might never know what's to come."

Elizabeth was bewildered as to what Megan meant to that. She already expects that her father would be chasing after her but to have someone else tailing her back is something she is unaware of.

"Thank you."

That's all she could say as she went back inside her room and close the door to prepare to leave.

Megan sigh heavily seeing there was indeed no hope in helping the girl. She ponders hard on what to do. How was she supposed to help the girl when the girl herself does not want her help at all? Telling her who she was wouldn't help at all seeing the girl has no memory of her.

She ended up dragging herself downstairs, on her way to her office, she notices Jo heading her way.

"What's wrong?" Megan inquired noticing how blankly looking Jo was.

"We're dead."

"What?"

"Megan, Master Shou does work for Lord Knightley. What's worse… I just received reporters that a few mercenaries' are on their way here as well since reports of the Young Princess in the black market spread. Someone is offering a huge amount of money for her."

"What?! Who?!"

"I don't know, I've tried to check on this but not even the higher-ups have any information about the mystery person. The higher-ups stated that we should not get involved. Since the higher-ups said; Master Shou belongs to an old clan in Japan which has a good connection with ours. If ever they are to attack us, it just means we have done something against him and the higher-ups would not even take action."

"What? So you're telling me we're to die here for helping her?"

"I don't know… Maybe Master Shou received information about our relationship with the girl in the past. I mean, they might be here to retrieve her back. We better give her back to them…"

"No! We aren't doing that! She wishes to regain her memory and I'll help her."

"Big Sis! Are you crazy? Even the higher-ups does not wish to get involved. We're only trash in front of Master Shou's eyes. We can't go against him… I mean, you yourself said Akita is with him."

"Still… We need to help her find the Professor."

Jo was about to go mentally crazy seeing Megan was not listening to any words he was saying. "Have you really lost your mind? The Professor? God knows where he is now… I mean, he could be dead or so."

Megan was in deep thought and was unable to hear any of the words Jo spoke of, she then a thought flashed into her mind. "No, you'll help her."

"Wait, what?!" Jo was baffled to what Megan just suggested.

"I'll handle Akita and the girl. Take Elizabeth with you… Find Scott."

"Scott? The b*stard? Big Sis, you want me to take her to Scott? He is worse than the Professor."

"No, last time I heard, Scott was in the west. Go take her there… Go look for K at the capital. Ask him to prepare some identification for Elizabeth. Once you have those prepared, go and take her to the west. Make sure you find Scott…"

"Big Sis, have you gone mad. Scott is our clan's mortal enemy. I mean, his every clan mortal enemy for he listens to no one just like the girl. Both of them are like…" Jo couldn't finish his words when he realizes that he'll be traveling with the girl who has a killer instinct of a predator. "Big Sis, think about this carefully. You want me to take her to Scott. You do know who she is right? I mean, just being the Young Princess is already a death sentence for me. But now, you want me to take the Little Lady of the past to meet Scott when the two of them don't get along in the past as well."

"That's why I'm asking you to take her to Scott. She has no memory of the past. Once you'll meet Scott, Scott will know where to find the Professor. Then, you'll be free…"

"Free? How sure are you that I'll be still alive when I get to meet Scott?"

"Don't worry, Scott won't do anything to you."

Jo sighs desperately, "How sure are you about that?"

"Because you have her."

"So?"

"Do you know why Scott and her do not get along?"

"Why?"

"From what I heard, the Professor saved the Little Lady and became her guardian. Scott, who was under the care of the Professor as well during that time…"

"And so?"

"Do you really think Scott will hurt you when you saved his little sister?"

"What? Sister? Isn't she the Knightley's daughter."

"She is, but Scott has always considered her as a sister. Scott was one of the reasons as to why she was able to do all those cruel things. Who would go against Scott? Going against him means having your whole clan dead by morning."

"So, you're saying he'll spare me as long as I'll take care of her. But wait, where are you going?" Jo suddenly realized the Megan has not mentioned anything about herself at all.

"As I said, I'll handle Akita and her girls." Megan forces a courageous smile on her face despite she knows what's about to come.

"Big Sis, must you really do this?"

"She needs to know the truth. Also, I hope she'll make me a fruit tart too."

Jo said nothing and saw how upsetting this plan is. Will either one of them be able to live in the end.
