The old lady picked up her phone, her face full of worry, and called Luz.
"Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable. Please try again later."
"What's going on? Her phone is turned off." The old lady looked at her mobile phone worriedly. Since she came back, Luz had rarely turned off her phone.
"Who knows what she's doing, mother. Maybe she turned off her phone because it's not convenient for her to answer the phone."
Maddison seized the opportunity to badmouth Luz. She glanced provocatively at Henry. Her tone implied that Luz was out flirting with other men.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Maddison shut her mouth when the old lady glared at her, but secretly, she was pleased. She hoped that Luz was fooling around with another man. See how pleased the old lady would be with her if she really did!
"Henry, is Luz still at the company working overtime?"
In the past few days, she had seen the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. Maybe they had argued, and Luz was avoiding Henry on purpose.
"No."
Henry was a little annoyed. She had left the company in a hurry after work just now. He knew that she wasn't so hardworking.
The old lady became even more anxious when she heard that. She called Luz's phone several more times, but it still remained turned off, so she looked towards her great-grandson. "Logan, do you know the phone number of your mother's friends?"
"Let me try."
Logan was also feeling worried. He knew his own mother well. She would normally come home before seven o'clock.
He took his great-grandmother's phone from her and swallowed nervously as he glanced at Henry before typing in a number.
"Hey, Uncle Declan, are you with Mommy?"
As soon as he heard the name "Uncle Declan", Henry narrowed his eyes. Even this brat knew to call Declan first, which showed how close he and Luz were.
"Oh, it's okay. Let me try calling my godmother. They might be together."
The little fellow hung up the phone in disappointment and dialled his godmother's number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialled is unavailable. Please try again later."
"Hey, her phone is turned off too."
Logan frowned and stared at the phone. His godmother's phone was always reachable. She never turns off her phone.
Henry's narrowed eyes widened and he frowned as well. Mia James' phone was also turned off?
"Henry, do you think Luz is in danger? Otherwise, why did she turn off her phone for no reason?"
The old lady's heart was thumping wildly. She had a feeling that something bad had happened.
"Grandma, don't worry. She may come back herself after a while."
Although he was a little worried, he didn't want to show his concern for that woman.
A while later, Logan tried calling his mother and his godmother again, but their phones were still turned off.
Henry suddenly lost his patience, which rarely happened. He stood up and went upstairs while calling his subordinates.
"Boss?"
"Find out where Mia's car is now and who's with her. I want an answer in ten minutes."
