"Mr. Bowles!"
Isla grabbed his hand, which Willy turned around and pushed away gently, surprisingly didn't blow a fuse.
"Don't waste your time on me. Even without Yesmine, I still won't choose you! I don't want to make things too ugly with your family, but I'm not afraid of it either. Do you get me?"
Isla felt utterly defeated, her nose scrunched up into a ball. "Why? What does she have that I don't? I'm even younger and prettier than her!"
"No reason! Isla, if looks are all it takes, there are plenty younger and prettier than you! It'll all make sense when you're older! Keep my words in mind. I won't be so nice next time!"
With that said, Willy headed out!
He drove straight to Yesmine's mansion only to be dropped a bomb. "What did you say?"
She had gone traveling?! The last piece of news he got about her was that she returned home. It had only been a couple of hours, for heaven's sake!
"Miss Luther said she needs a break and wants to go on a road trip, see the world. Then she left!"
Yeah, right! She was obviously hiding from him!
He pulled his phone out and passed the butler, charging into the mansion.
"Mr. Bowles, you can't do this..."
Despite his words, Hart didn't try and stop Willy. Running upstairs, Willy saw that there were signs of people staying when he got to her room. It was empty right then, the luggage was out, but they weren't taken away.
The call connected then, and he received a reply in no time.
"Sorry, Mr. Bowels. We've been keeping our eyes on her. She had indeed driven out. We thought she had gone out for dinner, so we waited at the mall entrance... In the end, we lost her. It was the same car, but the license plate had changed! We're still looking; she probably hasn't gone far!"
"You bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Livid, he ended the call. She had long made plans for this! Despite his fury, it had also occurred to him this would happen.
Turning around, he dashed out as he searched for Lexx's number but called Elijah instead in the end. Elijah had just received Lauren's email then, still open, every word bolded.
"Why are you looking for Tevye?"
He had just gotten Willy's call, and she had already come warning? What in the world were these two trying?
"Questions later! Where is she, Elijah? I want to see her immediately, this instance! You can get to her, can't you?" Elijah frowned slightly, his gaze still on the monitor.
"Another word, and that's it between us. I won't save you from your mom ever again..."
Knocking his head, he mumbled.
