Another method?
In a flash, Cameron went limp, and she collapsed onto the ground helplessly.
After leaving the factory, I got into the car. Then I leaned back against the seat and closed my eyes. Instantly, weariness held me captive.
Out of the blue, a sense of warmth traveled up my palm. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Ashton. Holding my hand, he started the car and comforted me in a cool voice, “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
However, I merely pursed my lips and said nothing. Who could it be?
Upon returning to the villa, I was a tad drowsy, so Ashton escorted me back to the bedroom. Then, he left some instructions for the confinement nanny before leaving.
After he left, I lay on the bed, feeling extremely sleepy. Yet I just couldn’t fall asleep.
Thus, I took out my phone and gave Stacey a call. A few rings later, she picked up the phone.
“Ms. Stovall, are you… okay?” she asked tentatively.
Grunting in affirmation, I then asked, “Have you seen the news?”
“Yeah.” Pausing briefly, she then continued, “I’ve asked a friend to investigate this matter as I can’t find anything on my side. The hotel’s surveillance footage has been destroyed, so there’s no way to investigate further.”
Nodding, I inhaled before replying, “There’s no need to investigate this further. Rather, find someone to keep an eye on Kristina. If possible, find out whether she has been in contact with Rebecca and Sally lately.”
A touch puzzled, she hesitated for a moment before questioning, “Kristina? Why are you investigating her?”
“It’s just a hunch that hasn’t been verified, so check her out first. I’ll tell you the specifics later.”
On the other hand, Ashton and John were far swifter than her in investigating all else that was pertinent, for they’d investigated basically everything crucial.
After a long time had passed, she nodded. “Alright, got it!”
After hanging up the phone, I remained on the bed, but still, I couldn’t sleep with the myriad of worries assailing me.
I was finally dozing off groggily after having lain there for what seemed an eternity, only to hear a commotion downstairs.
Irritated by the racket, I got out of bed and left the bedroom.
“Have Scarlett Stovall come out at once!” Rebecca roared as though having lost her mind in the living room.
The confinement nanny and the housekeeper tried their best to hold her back, pulling her outside. Even the bodyguards in the villa came rushing over and carried her out.
