"Good morning old lady. We are looking for Miss Lisa. She escaped from Young Master yesterday night"

Lisa froze on hearing the words from the person. They had already found her. So soon? It's barely a day since she escaped. How did they locate her so quickly?

Panic flooded Lisa as she got up immediately.

"Miss, they are here. They found you... You have to leave" Annabelle panicked too.
