“Mr. Simpson, you’re really joking.”
Sierra smiled awkwardly. She had long known that Ivan didn’t like her, including Robert and his brothers, but she didn’t care much about it too.
However, Ivan joked about her face. Sierra still had cold feet no matter how hard she tried to stay calm.
Sierra was clear about the whole plastic surgery thing. This was a makeover and a change of new life. Sierra didn’t want others to know about it, especially Robert.
She thought she had hidden it well, but Ivan had seen through her at first glance. This made Sierra felt even scared that he would suspect her previous identity.
“Ms. Moon, I’m a doctor. Although I’m not a plastic surgeon, I understand the basic theory of facial skeletal contouring. You had plastic surgery for your face. I know everyone has the desire to look attractive. What are you so nervous about? I won’t tell my brother. This is our secret, okay?”
Ivan gave Sierra a sweet smile that gave her the creeps.
She didn’t believe a single word that Ivan had said. Since Ivan had discovered this matter, she must find a way to tell the truth about her plastic surgery after Robert was rescued. Otherwise, this might not be worth it if Robert suspected her.
Seeing the changing expression on Sierra’s face, Ivan laughed in his heart. Robert didn’t trust him at all now, and how could he say such a provocative thing. But, it was interesting to scare Sierra and make her reveal herself.
It seemed that she was very concerned about the fact that she had had plastic surgery. Ivan thought that this was a breakthrough. He had not noticed that Sierra had had plastic surgery before as there weren’t any traces of it on her face. It was just so natural. If not for the subtle change in her nose when she got distorted just now, Ivan wouldn’t have noticed it.
The two of them stopped discussing this matter. Sierra promised to postpone the wedding as she had no choice but to do so. Robert was absent at this moment, and they had to find a reason to delay the marriage. Naturally, Sierra couldn’t be the one to do this. So, Ivan took the initiative to go to the front and say something to the emcee. The emcee then apologized and told the crowd that the bride had suddenly fainted and temporarily canceled the wedding.
After that, Ivan led Robert’s men and took Sierra and Wesley home.
“Ivan, when will dad come back? Is he alright?”
Wesley asked Ivan. He was worried about his dad’s current condition.
He had caused trouble outside today, and dad was furious at the time. Although he didn’t say anything about him, Wesley had been very scared. But now, with his dad gone and his mum warning him not to run around and asking him to be good and wait for dad to come back, Wesley was troubled in his heart.
He didn’t have much contact with Ivan, but Wesley knew that this was his dad’s cousin, his uncle, and the one who could save his dad now.
“Your dad will be alright. Many people are looking for him now. He will definitely be able to come back safely. Wesley, stay by your mum’s side for the next few days and wait for our news. I’ll send more people to guard around the villa in case someone retakes advantage of the chaos to take you away. Ms. Moon, it will be best if you don’t go out for the next few days either. I’ll announce to the public that you have had a simple operation for appendicitis, and the wedding is canceled for the time being. As for the news about Robert, I’ll create some fake news that he had gone to Europe to deal with business matters.”
Ivan left after arranging all the things for Sierra and Wesley here.
No matter what Sierra’s intentions were, he had to protect the two of them right now.
After Ivan left, Sierra immediately locked herself inside her bedroom. She took her mobile phone and called Jayson.
“Robert is missing. Do you know who did this?”
“How can I possibly know who did it? He disappeared right on the wedding day. Was he deliberately against us? If you two have gotten the marriage certificate tomorrow, then all of the properties will be in your hands, and who cares he is dead or alive by that time. It’s such big trouble now.”
Jayson cursed hatefully on the phone, with Sierra having the same thought too.
It was only two days away, and she was so close to getting Robert’s property. But in the end, she had nothing. If Sierra knew who had kidnapped Robert today, she would have hated to kill him.
“No matter what, Robert must stay alive now. I will not be his wife if he dies now, and Wesley’s account hasn’t yet been moved over. His property will not be mine. Find a way to search for Robert. He can’t die now.”
Jayson said on the phone after Sierra finished her words.
“I know. I’ll have my secret men look for Robert. But, you know I have to hide my whereabouts too. Sarah and Travis were like dogs, always somehow tracking me. I have to be careful too. So, let’s not contact each other for now, and I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news.”
Jayson hung up the call after saying that.
Sierra had a sullen face. But, her face changed suddenly when she found Wesley standing in the doorway.
“When did you come in?”
Sierra’s voice was terrifying that Wesley’s body trembled a little.
“Mom, I just came in.”
Wesley spoke out in fear.
“Then did you hear what I was saying?”
