Chapter 107
“The cook told me when I dropped by the mansion to pick you up.”
“I’ve packed my stuff. We can head out after I go back and get my suitcase.”
“Okay.”
When Silvia returned to the mansion, the cook was preparing the ingredients for dinner. When she saw Silvia, the cook stopped what she was doing and walked up to her.
“Miss Pond, your friend came to see you earlier. I told him you were at the police station.”
Silvia nodded. “I know. Madam, I’ll be away for roughly a week. Please let Mr. Remus know when he comes back.”
The lady seemed confused. “Miss Pond, aren’t you married to him? Why don’t you tell him on your
OWTI?”
Silvia remained silent for a few seconds before she said, “He’s at work, so he’s really busy. I don’t want to disturb him. Besides, I’ll be on an eight–hour flight. I won’t be able to call him when he clocks off.”
“Okay.”
The cook still found it strange, but she did not question it. After all, Silvia was also her boss. She could get fired for prying into her boss’s personal matters.
When Neil came home at night, he realized that Silvia was not around.
He frowned and called her several times, but her phone was off. He put down his phone, and his
displeasure was apparent.
The cook served the food on the table before she carefully walked up to him and said, “Mr. Remus, Miss Pond asked me to inform you that she’ll be going on a trip. She’ll only be back after a week or
so.”
When Neil heard this, his expression instantly darkened. He gritted his teeth and asked, “When did she tell you that?”
Well played, Silvia Pond!
She wanted to go on a trip, but she chose not to tell him face to face. Instead, she asked the cook to pass the message to him. Who the heck was he to her?
The cook was shocked by his reaction, and she stammered, “She–She came back at 3 p.m. She told me about it when she took her suitcase. Miss Pond said that she might still be on the plane when you clock off, so she wouldn’t be able to call you… That’s why she instructed me to tell you…
Neil’s face turned red with rage. She was afraid of disturbing him? Why had she not been this considerate before?
He remained silent for a while before he sternly said, “Alright, I got it. You can go home.”
“Okay.”
After the lady left, he gave Curtis a call.
“Find out where Silvia has traveled to and whether she’s alone or with someone else!”
Soon, Curtis replied to Neil via text message.
[Mr. Remus, Miss Pond booked a flight to Lumont City. She went with someone called Winston Russell. He’s the heir of the Russell Family, which works in medicine in Ryoln City.]
Neil frowned in confusion. How did she know Winston?
Besides, Lumont City was a small city in the far southwest of the country. He did not think that she had been there before. Why was she going there all of a sudden?
In the past, Neil would equate her to a piece of blank paper. There was nothing much to her.
Now, it felt like there was a layer of gauze between him and Silvia. The more he wanted to rip off the gauze, the more he could not see through her.
Neil: [Get someone to guard the airport exit. I want to know their every move once they leave the airport!]
Curtis: [Okay, Mr. Remus.]
The plane landed in Lumont City at 1 am..
After Silvia and Winston got off the plane, they left in an off–road vehicle that had come to pick them
- up.
After Silvia turned on her phone, she did not find a single missed call or message on the screen.
She put her phone upside down in her bag and furrowed her brows.
What was she expecting?
She shook her head and suppressed the strange emotions. Then, she calmly looked out of the window. and watched the passing scenery.
She had not returned for three years.
Suddenly, the driver in front frowned and said, “Someone’s tailing us!”
