Chapter 122
Sherry was extremely efficient.
Before the sun even set, she had compiled a list of all the properties the Rosses owned and sent them to Sylvia.
She attached another message along with it. “Hey, Sylvia. My guy accessed the surveillance cameras in these properties and did not see any sign of Aunt Tonya or anyone suspicious showing up. Do you think there’s a chance they moved Aunt Tonya out of the city?”
Sylvia frowned tensely.
Judging by what she knew of Emmanuel and Dona, she doubted they would take so much effort to relocate Aunt Tonya out of the city.
But if they did not relocate her out of the city, where could they have hidden her?
She felt her head throbbing. She sat down on the ground and scratched her head until her hair turned into a tangled mess, and still, she could not figure it out.
Her phone rang again.
The caller ID was “Grandma”.
Sylvia’s eyes brightened as she answered the phone immediately. Isabel’s saccharine voice greeted her, “Mommy, have you eaten yet?” Sylvia smiled sweetly and answered tenderly, “I’ve eaten. Have you and your brother eaten?” “We just ate, and we’re waiting for you on the balcony behind the big meanie’s room!” Isabel said with a tint of excitement.
Sylvia quickly told her, “I’ll go get the binoculars right now. Both of you, wait for me.”
She formed a claw with her hands and smoothened her hair. Then, she went to get the binoculars from the coffee table and walked to the yard.
Like the previous two nights, Sylvia saw Liam and Isabel standing on the balcony through the binoculars
Liam held the phone in between him and Isabel with one hand and grabbed the binoculars with the other.
Isabel, meanwhile, was holding the binoculars with both hands and looking at Sylvia.
With the binoculars, it was as if they were mere inches away.
Sylvia smiled warmly and spoke into the phone, “What did you two eat tonight?” Liam answered, “Steamed eggs with pumpkin, and some snacks.” Isabel pouted. “It doesn’t taste good. It’s nothing like what Mommy cooks.”
Liam echoed the same sentiment with a grunt.
Sylvia found it rather humorous.
The chefs in the Carter household were all professional and famous chefs, so how was it that their cooking was not up to standards?
It would seem as if the children rated her cooking a little too high. They were clearly very eager to see her again. A glint appeared in Sylvia’s eyes as she told them, “Mommy has been quite busy recently. After I settle my things, I will talk to your father and see if I can take you back here and cook something nice for you. Does that sound good?” Isabel answered tenderly, “Okay, but hurry up, Mommy. We miss you so much.” Sylvia smiled. “Yes, Mommy will take care of things quickly.” That was when Ben, the bodyguard, appeared behind them. Sylvia heard Ben’s anxious voice through the phone. “Young Master, Miss, your father has returned. Please get out of here quickly before he finds you two here.” He lifted Isabel and Liam from the chair as he said this.
