Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 347

"Go dig up some dirt on this number. Let’s see if we can track down who it belongs to." Ethan said.

Lucas nodded and then added, "There's something else you should know. Leila's old SIM card must be in use by someone else. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to reach her."

Ethan shot Lucas a glance, a smirk on his face, "I'm not an idiot, you know. No need to repeat the obvious."

With a helpless shrug, Lucas exited the office.

Standing by the window, Ethan silently observed the distant buildings. He had trusted Silvia too much and overlooked many things, leading to a chain of problems. He had spent the entire last night thinking. She couldn’t have possibly had access to his phone. Lucas was the only one who most likely could, but Ethan trusted him completely, otherwise he wouldn’t have delegated such important tasks to him.

Then he recalled what Joy had revealed. She wasn’t a spy. The one who switched the designs was someone else, who was still lurking in the Meyer Group. The question was, were these two the same person? How was Silvia connected to this person?

He didn’t dare to think further. Once he delved too deep, he would begin doubting everything he previously believed, and a more terrifying truth might be waiting for him.

Knowing that Ethan would pick her up after work, Ines left early and went to the Galeana family's house.

Just as she predicted, Ethan showed up. Upon seeing him, Silas chuckled, "Ethan, Izzy already left."

Ethan forced a smile. The girl was really pissed off, not even letting him pick her up from work. He had no choice but to head home alone.

However, upon returning home, he received even more distressing news. Ines didn’t come home. He was left wondering whether she went to see Phoebe or went to the Galeana family's house.

In the meantime, Ines was amusing Jasmine with a game. The little girl was growing prettier every day. At that moment, she was hungrily sucking on her bottle, looking as if she was using all her might.

Seeing her adorable face, Ines couldn't help but laugh.

"Izzy, did you have a fight with Ethan?" Emma asked curiously.

"I just wanted to see Jasmine after work. Don't overthink things." Ines said.

Emma didn’t buy it. She looked at Ines, grinning, "You're lying. You and Ethan are usually inseparable. I've never seen you leave work alone."

"Shut it, will ya?" Ines said.

Emma laughed, "Did he do something to piss you off?"

Ines didn’t reply. Emma’s eyes widened, "Is it even worse than I thought? Did he cheat on you?"

Ines smacked Emma's head, "Stop blabbering! He's not that type of person."
