How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 181: Run Away
Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Run Away
Harry was furious and panicked when he heard his wife suddenly disappear. He got up from the chair and hit the table so hard that the whole room echoed. His eyes started to redden and his chest felt tight. He tried to think positively that his wife would not be kidnapped by his father to be killed.
"Actually, when did you see my wife for the last time?" Harry asked continuing his conversation with Sarah over the telephone.
"I’m sorry, Harry. I should have been guarding your wife all day. She told me to go somewhere to buy cupcakes. When I came back, she was gone."
Harry patted his forehead while ruffling his hair. "Then, what about the CCTV cameras? What about the hotel manager’s witness?"
"To be honest, Claudia’s attitude today was very strange. She ordered everyone close to her to do unusual things. Suddenly she asked several hotel staff to buy new furniture. Even though she’s not the type of woman who likes to get bored of anything."
"But, if you look at the CCTV footage throughout the day?"
"She came out of the hotel carrying the bag she usually carries. However, her movements were not suspicious. Earlier she had reported to me that she had to go on a short work trip to one of the hotel’s affiliated companies. When I confirmed this, Claudia had not actually visited there. Apart from that, Claudia’s agenda today was empty."
Harry’s gaze sharpened as if he wanted to kill someone. His heart felt tight because he was increasingly worried that his wife’s life would be threatened while he was going through the divorce process. Was his wife really kidnapped or did she run away from him?
After talking with Sarah, Harry contacted all the lieutenants on duty in various parts of the Godnation kingdom to look for his wife’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, Thomas was ordered to contact the fleet, train station and airport. He was worried that his wife would be secretly smuggled out of the country.
Initially Harry wanted to reconcile with his wife today, but suddenly a disaster struck him that he didn’t want. When his wife was still around, he acted as if he didn’t love her. When his wife was not around, he felt like his life had no meaning to him.
"Harry, I think I know where your wife is!" shouted Thomas running over to Harry.
Harry’s eyes widened. "Where is my wife?"
"Looks like she’s on a train."
"What?"
"The chief train station manager saw it on CCTV footage."
"Do you know where she went?"
Suddenly an idea crossed Harry’s mind. Recently, Claudia has seemed anxious because her late parents wanted to build a hotel in the San Marina area. The area has beautiful coastal views, cool air, and the city is known to be the most peaceful with a low crime rate. However, one drawback is that most of the residents there do not agree with the construction of hotels.
Harry snapped his fingers repeatedly as he paced. He showed a confident smile while looking at the wall clock.
"Harry, the station manager said–"
"Claudia went to San Marina right."
Thomas rolled his eyes. "How did you know?"
"Because my wife recently wanted to go there."
"Then, should we chase her now?"
Harry shook his head. "No, I want to let her go."
"What? Isn’t this dangerous?"
"San Marina is the place with the highest level of security in the Godnation kingdom. If that place was not safe, my wife would have been killed suddenly."
"So, you’re going to let her go alone?"
"Besides, she and I will soon be divorced. She should live independently." Even though Harry said it confidently, his heart was still restless which made his face look sluggish again. "Thomas, you can ask Sarah for help to find out what Claudia is doing. If necessary, trace her account. Whether she really cashed out large amounts of cash or not."

On the other hand, Claudia carries a travel bag at a train station. Her gaze was blank as she watched several trains passing by. She deliberately wore a wide black hat with dark clothes so as not to attract attention. When she saw a train that looked more luxurious than the others and wanted to stop, she lifted her travel bag and entered the train.
The entire train was occupied only by her. Because she is a Duchess, she cannot mingle with ordinary people when riding public transportation. After all, in this world she was born as a rich woman and she withdrew large amounts of cash, she didn’t worry about anything. The most important thing is that she wants to be free from her husband for now.
It can be said that this train is a royal executive train, which is a car that can be taken by the royal family or the noble family. This car is also guarded by several soldiers so that she does not have to worry about being attacked suddenly while she is sleeping.
Now Claudia wants to clear her mind while traveling to San Marina. She lay down on a single bed while opening her cellphone. Her cellphone was filled with calls from Harry, Sarah, and Thomas. Especially the one who tried to contact her the most was Harry. Actually, she was confused, on the one hand he wanted to ask for a divorce suddenly, but on the other hand he was really worried about her. Seeing photos of them together full of beautiful memories made her eyes fill with tears.
"I miss you, Harry. Even though we haven’t been apart for 24 hours, I miss you."
For a moment, she turned around, staring at a plate containing various cupcakes. "I’m sorry I lied to you, Sarah. But for now I want to be alone. I have to get used to living alone so that when I get divorced, I can live independently."
After traveling for hours by train, she finally arrived at a city which is famous for having beautiful views of the blue sea. As she got off the train, Claudia squinted her eyes and took a deep breath to enjoy the fresher air from the city of Edenburgh.
"San Marina, I am coming."
