My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 426

After bidding Collin farewell, Florence went back to her bedroom. Then she pulled out the new phone that Stanford gave her earlier.

Recalling the phone number, she called Ernest.

It had been such a long time, but she hadn’t replied to Ernest’s messages. She was sure that Ernest must be quite worried about her.

Hence, she decided to give him a call, asking him if he was doing fine.

“Beep.”

After a slight sound, her phone was hung up automatically.

Florence was confused. She thought that it was because of the signal interrupt, so she dialed the number again. However, after a short while, the call was disconnected automatically again.

She wondered what happened.

Why couldn’t her calls be connected?

In confusion, Florence tried to find the problem. In shock, she found that there was no signal on her phone here.

The mobile signal was always good in her room. She wondered why suddenly it was missing.

With a frown, Florence went out of her room with the phone in her hands. She lifted the phone and wandered around the backyard, but the signal was still missing.

Besides the signal, her WIFI was gone as well...

Florence had a bad hunch. She went out of the yard and wandered around, but there was still no signal.

She stopped a maid passing by and said anxiously, “Excuse me. May I take a look at your phone, please?”

“Little Miss, what do you want?”

The maid hesitated, looking at Florence on alert.

They had heard what happened in the living room earlier, so she knew that Madam had smashed Little Miss’s cell phone in public.

Florence was a bit speechless. Judging from the maid’s eyes, she felt that the maid was afraid she would snatch her phone.

“I just want to take a look if there’s a signal here.”

It wasn’t until now did the maid relax. She handed her phone to Florence.

Meanwhile, she said, “Little miss, all the signals here have been shielded. We don’t have any signal on our mobile devices.”

“What? Are the signals shielded? Why?”

Florence gaped.

She looked down at the maid’s phone. Sure enough, there was no signal either.

After a hesitation, the maid answered in a low voice, “It’s Madam’s order. All the mobile signals and networks in this yard are gone from now on. Little Miss, please don’t...”

The maid didn’t finish her words, but her implication was quite obvious.

She hinted at Florence to quit fighting against her mother. It would be useless.

Florence’s mouth corners twitched fiercely. She had never expected that Victoria would be so heartless - she hadn’t only smashed Florence’s phone but also shielded all the signals in her yard.

Florence wondered if her mother had thought that she was still trying her best to get in touch with Ernest.

Hence, Victoria adopted full measures and cut off the possibilities for Florence to get in touch with anyone from the outworld.

It was not different from imprisoning her in this case, was it? Florence thought that her mother had gone too far.

Feeling annoyed, she wanted to find Victoria and argue with her. However, the maid pulled her to stop.

She said in a hurry, “Little Miss, I shouldn’t speak in this way to you, but... you can do anything you want. It will definitely impact Tammy, though. She has been beaten for punishment, too pitiful.”

Florence stopped her pace all of a sudden, looking pale. The wave of anger in her chest vanished immediately.

That was true. She had promised Victoria that she would cut ties with Ernest so that Tammy was saved. If she went to argue with Victoria about the signal and network, she would be like ratting herself out that she had agreed outwardly but disagreed inwardly.

Without the network and she couldn’t go out, for a moment, Florence couldn’t get in touch with Ernest at all.

In the following several days, she couldn’t contact Ernest, and nor could she know what exactly was going on with him and if he was doing all right.
