Chapter 1496 Escape
“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.
Could it be that she didn’t consume the food we sent her? But that doesn’t make sense since the plate was always
empty when brought back. Besides, wouldn’t she die of hunger if she hadn’t eaten for such a long time?
“Keep this under wraps and investigate the matter discreetly,” Monisha ordered before hurrying back into the

palace because she had to report the matter to the queen mother.
The first thing she did when she arrived was to drop to her knees, causing the queen mother to feel surprised.
“Monisha, what are you doing?” Putting down her teacup, the queen mother looked at Monisha.
“Your Majesty, that woman has escaped.”
The queen mother gave her a baffled look. Woman? What woman?
“Who are you talking about?”
Cognizant that the queen mother was a busy person, Monisha wasn’t surprised that she had forgotten.
“The mad woman from Chanaea.”
Even though the matter had slipped the queen mother’s mind with time, she quickly recalled who it was.
“She’s escaped? In that case, go find her.” She plainly added, “Is there even the need to bother me over something
so trivial?”
She’s nothing but a nobody, and she can run all she wants. It doesn’t even matter if we find her or not.
Expecting to be punished over the news, Monisha was surprised by the queen mother’s nonchalant response.
Consequently, she staggered back up to her feet with a surreal feeling in her mind.
