Chapter 1350
She instantly whipped out her phone, scouring the internet for any info on Acidbane. But her search came up empty, no trace of it anywhere.
Then, it hit Cornelia that Brennen was arrested for making fake drugs, and the evidence Dylan gathered seemed to point the finger at him. Could the drugs Brennen made be Acidbane?
With that thought, she immediately dialed Abigail’s number, hoping to get to Dylan through her and ask some questions.
But all she got was the robotic voice from the other end, “The number you dialed is switched off. Please try again later.” It dawned on her that Abigail should be on a flight from the Capital to Riverton at this time.
She didn’t have Dylan’s contact. So, she dug up Granny Luisa’s number.
Without a second thought, she dialed it. But to her surprise, Granny Luisa’s line was busy. Clearly, she wasn’t really on a call, but Granny Luisa had blacklisted her.
Every possible lead to the truth was tightly sealed; she was left in the dark.
Finally, Cornelia thought of her neighbor, Goldie. She hastily reached for her phone intending to text Goldie only to find that she had deleted
Goldie’s contact.
So, Comelia went downstairs, dodging the prying eyes of her butler and others, slipped out through the side door, and trudged through thick snow towards Goldie’s place.
The snow was so deep that it left a noticeable imprint with every step she took. She dragged her heavy body along.
Despite the arduous journey, she was determined. Before she even reached the neighbor’s villa, the door swung open from the inside and Goldie dashed out, “Nelly, slow down, wouldn’t want you to take a tumble, would we?”
Cornelia sidestepped Goldie’s outstretched hand, stepped into the yard, and continued on.
As she walked, Cornelia said, “Goldie, could you ask the person behind you to step out?”
Goldie acted clueless, “Nelly, what on earth are you talking about, I can’t make head or tail of it.”
“If you won’t call him, I’ll go in and find him myself.” Cornelia knew it would come to this. Goldie was just a pawn, and she couldn’t call the shots.
Both Marcus and Granny Luisa preferred a quiet home, with very few servants around, only familiar ones.
