Chapter 653: Deceiving Again!
Johan Niles was shocked: "Your house has this kind of mechanism?"Connor smiled without saying anything.
He actually shouldn’t have exposed this mechanism, shouldn’t have revealed the space beneath the wine cellar.
Because this space is connected to Harry Hunter’s villa, through here, one can access Harry’s basement from underground, a special passage known only to him and Harry, used in critical times.
And he has all the keys to Harry’s house.
Connor only now realizes that he might be a huge vulnerability for Harry!
He finally understands why Natalie Niles spared no expense, three hundred million, to break him and Cora Ginger apart, to stay by his side as his woman.
He once thought he was Harry’s strongest defense, Harry’s strongest protection.
Turns out he isn’t!
Turns out he is Harry’s biggest BUG, the best breakthrough point to breach Harry’s defenses!
He had to protect Natalie Niles while setting up defenses against her; this special passage entrance was concealed by him, disguised as a small basement, temporarily hiding Natalie here.
Johan Niles entered this small basement without thinking about any passages, because there was no trace of a passage visible; a normal person would only think this space was independently sealed.
His thoughts were all on his sister; seeing Natalie Niles, he embraced her with reddened eyes, then checked her wound and changed her bandages.
"Recovering well, sis, you really are in good shape."
Natalie Niles’s eyes were unfocused, revealing a faint smile: "I heard from Connor that Lucas Chambers moved into the house. Did he give you any trouble?"
"No."
Johan Niles didn’t want her to worry, "He’s a good person, just focused on finding you, I have no conflicts with him, why would he trouble me."
"That’s good."
"How are your eyes? Still can’t see anything?"
"Can’t see."
"Wait a few more days, if you still can’t see, sis, you really must have the surgery to quickly remove the blood clot from your brain."
Johan Niles, worried sick, instructed her to rest well and not move around before leaving the basement with Connor and returning to the living room.
Natalie Niles listened as they left, heard the floor close and the wine cellar door shut, then slowly sat up and stood from the small bed.
She felt along the wall for a while until the concealed passage door by Connor opened.
Clutching her aching chest, she supported herself against the wall and slowly walked in.
The passage was long and had several turns.
But Natalie Niles had a good sense of direction, knew clearly this passage led to Harry Hunter’s home!
In the darkness, she felt a door.
Opening this door would lead her into Harry’s world.
She stood before the door for a long time, but in the end, she didn’t open it.
She chuckled self-deprecatingly; this dark, damp underground passage truly matched her nature—dark, despicable, unable to see the light.
No wonder Harry Hunter didn’t like her; he probably saw through her nature long ago.
She turned around, slowly walking back, and when she reached the end of the passage, her footsteps suddenly halted.
"Connor."
"Your eyes can see, can’t they? You’re pretending to be blind! Natalie Niles!"
Connor’s voice carried the taste of a storm about to come.
His eyes were bloodshot, heart aching intensely.
This deceiver!
Natalie Niles wanted to reach out to touch his face to comfort him, but heard Connor’s angry and disgusted roar: "Don’t touch me!"
