Chapter 857


    Chapter 857


    Larissa did not dare to think how she was going to tell Wendy’s parents in Caldor if anything had really


    happened to Wendy.


    After an hour had almost passed, Lewis‘ phone call came. It was ratherte. Larissa quickly answered


    and asked desperately. “Did you find her?”


    “Not yet” Lewis said.


    What little hope that had appeared died immediately. Larissa’s shoulders slumped and she seemed to


    have lost her soul. Her voice was also dull. “Oh-


    “I looked at the surveince footage in the mall. After Wendy left the restaurant a man followed her to


    the toilet. When she came out, the man was with her. They must know each other. I’ve taken a picture


    and I’ll send it to you now.” The moment Lewis said that, Larissa’s WhatsApp got a notification.


    Larissa tapped into Lewis‘ picture. He had snapped the picture from the surveince camera screens.


    There was a male and female couple in the picture. The woman was Wendy, as for the man


    Although there was only a blurry side profile. Larissa still recognized him. “It’s Edmund Rogers”


    “Edmund Rogers?” Lewis muttered the name repeatedly. “Sounds familiar I feel like I’ve heard that


    name somewhere before.” He took some time to remember, then asked Larissa. “What rtionship


    does he have with Mr. Cody Rogers of Soaring Corporation?”


    “He’s Cody’s younger brother and is also Kevan’s cousin. And he’s also that ex–boyfriend that Wendy


    just broke up with! The moment


    Larissa had confirmed this information, she got more anxious than ever. “Did the surveince cameras


    see where they went?”


    As it stood, Edmund was now a very dangerous person. If he really had some kind of end goal by


    getting close to Wendy, he could do crazy things to Wendy after she had firmly broken up with him.


    “Only that they had left the mall.” Lewis let out a helpless sigh.


    “Wait. I’ll call youter.” Larissa hung up the phone and called Kevan.


    She could not call Wendy, but maybe she could contact Edmund through Kevan. She did not care what


    Edmund wanted. As long as she could give it she would. As long as he was willing to let Wendy go


    safely.


    However, Kevan had either fallen asleep or was still busy. He did not answer the call after a very long


    time.


    Larissa anxiously walked round and round in her room. She wished she could just go from Aldovia to


    Kevan’s side in Caldor, grabbing him


    by the cor to make him answer the phone.


    After some time, Larissa finally chose to give up. She fell weakly onto the bed, holding her phone while


    she kept crying. Suddenly, her


    phone vibrated like crazy.


    Larissa jolted, sitting up quickly. However, what appeared on the screen was not Wendy’s name or


    Kevan’s. It was an unfamiliar number. Following her gut Larissa carefully answered the phone and said,


    “Hello?”


    There was silence on the other end of the phone before a strange yet familiar voice sounded out. “Long


    time no see, Larissa.”


    That voice had a sinister smile to it. Larissa’s arms broke out in goosebumps and cold sweat appeared


    on her back.

    “Edmund Rogers Larissa said this name with forced calm. “Juste at me with everything you have.


    Don’t hurt Wendy.”


    “Hurt Wendy?” Edmund Laughed. “I can’t wait in love her to death. How could I hurt her? Besides,


    she’s still pregnant with my baby. How ruthless could I possibly be to hurt them?”
