When her text went unanswered for a long time, Claire Sutton was fuming. She never expected the Empress Dowager, who had never shown any concern for her before, to act so quickly this time. She had said she would get a doctor at noon, and by the afternoon, they were here!
At this point, escaping was her only option!
'But how do I escape?'
She looked around the enclosed bathroom. Other than a small, high window, there were no other exits. Her only choice was to sneak out through the main door.
A nurse was waiting at the door, but Claire Sutton had already prepared her excuse.
The moment she walked out of the bathroom, she put on a panicked expression and grabbed the nurse's hand. "I just got a call from my mom. She said my dad has fallen ill, and I have to go see him right now. Please tell the Empress Dowager and Queen Vance for me later."
After saying that, she immediately headed for the exit. The nurse called after her, but couldn't stop her.
