Chapter 228


    Chapter 228 Heard It


    Hailey was the first one who noticed Yuliana missing.


    When Yuliana came out of school, she called Hailey, told her she was on the way, and asked Hailey to


    cook spaghetti.


    Hailey had already cooked the spaghetti. When she noticed that Yuliana had note back yet, she


    called Yuliana again to ask where she was.


    Nheless, the first call was hung up after a while.


    When Hailey called again, Yuliana’s phone was already turned off.


    Hailey got worried and nned to go to school. She suddenly stopped when she was about to go out


    with her phone and shoes on. The more Hailey thought about it, the more she felt something was


    wrong.


    It had been 20 minutes since Yuliana called her. Yuliana was supposed to have reached home as the


    journey. only took ten minutes. Yuliana had a power bank, so it was impossible for her phone to be


    dead.


    If Yuliana did note back because she had something to do, she would tell Hailey instead of turning


    off her phone.


    Hailey panicked at the thought of this.


    Yuliana had been pregnant for more than seven months. Hailey did not dare to think about if something


    bad had happened to Yuliana.


    Hailey thought for a while and immediately called Christopher, but no one answered the phone even


    though she had called several times. Hailey was in a panic. Finally, she remembered she had saved


    Joyce’s phone number and called Joyce.


    At that time, Joyce was checking Alex’s homework, and her phone was on Alex’s desk.


    When she heard her phone vibrate, Joyce nced at the caller ID. It was an unknown number.


    She gave some instructions to Alex, picked up her phone, and walked outside before she answered the


    call. Before Joyce could speak, Hailey, on the other side of the phone, said anxiously, “Mrs. Sce, I’m


    Hailey. Something bad seemed to happen to Yuliana.”


    Joyce was stunned momentarily and hurriedly asked, “What do you mean by saying that something


    bad had happened to her?”


    Hailey took a deep breath to calm herself down, told Joyce what happened, and added, “Yuliana is very


    punctual. If she’sing homete, she will definitely send a message.”


    Joyce was silent for a while and said calmly, “Hailey, go to Yuliana’s school first. Call me if anything


    happens.”


    Hailey said, “Okay, I’ll go now,”


    Hailey hung up the phone and hurried out.


    On the other side, Joyce called Yuliana. As expected, Yuliana’s phone was already turned off.


    Joyce did not waste her time waiting for Hailey’s message. She called Kendrick first, then La, and


    asked them to find out where Yuliana was immediately. Then, Joyce waited for Hailey’s message


    anxiously.


    Around ten minutester, Hailey called Joyce back. She followed Yuliana’s way to the school but still


    could not find Yuliana.


    Basically, it was certain that something bad happened to Yuliana.


    In Romdale,


    At night, Christopher had dinner with some people from important departments involved in some follow-


    up matters of the previous project.


    “Mr. Sce, you’re so young and promising! I’ll toast you to this wine!* said Charlie Dawson, the


    department chief.


    Christopher held the ss and clinked it with Charlie. He held his ss slightly lower than Charlie’s


    ss. Christopher smiled and said, “Mr. Dawson, you must be kidding. I should toast you. I’ll drink this


    ss. Cheers.”


    With that, Christopher drank it all up.


    Another chief of the department, Julian Wright, came over and patted Christopher on the shoulder. “Mr.


    Sce, you’re a good drinker. If you drink with Mr. Dawson, you have to drink with me, right?”


    Christopher picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it into his ss. Heughed and said,


    “Mr. Wright, I’ll toast you to this ss. I look forward to working with you in the future.”


    They clicked the sses and drank the wine again.


    Just then, the door of the private room was opened. A man in a ck suit came in. He walked straight


    to Christopher and said in a low voice, “Mr. Sce.”


    Christopher was talking to Charlie Dawson when he heard someone calling him. He tilted his head and


    found that the man was his driver.


    “What’s wrong?” he asked.


    The driver said, “Ms. Sce has something urgent to tell you. She called you, but you didn’t answer, so


    she called me.”


    Christopher was stunned and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    The driver replied, “Ms. Sce didn’t say anything. She just asked you to call her back immediately.”


    “All right. You can go now.”


    The driver nodded and left the private room.


    Christopher told Charlie Dawson he had a phone call to make and took out his phone from the coat


    pocket on the back of the chair. There were more than 20 missed calls, including those from La,


    Joyce, and Hailey.


    Within 20 minutes, Hailey called Christopher a dozen times.


    It was not surprising for La and Joyce to call him, but it was unusual for Hailey to call him so many


    times at this time.


    Christopher almost figured out what urgent thing La was talking about.


    It was too noisy in the private room. He just felt a buzzing sound in his ear, and he could not hear what


    the others were talking about. Christopher did not even greet anyone before he picked up his phone


    and went straight out of the private room. Then, he immediately called La.


    When Christopher dialed, La’s phone was busy.


    He did not hang up but waited anxiously for La to answer the phone.


    Every second was extraordinarily long.


    Finally, La answered the phone. Before Christopher could ask, she went straight to the point and


    said, “Christopher, Yuliana is missing. I’ve asked someone to buy a flight ticket for you. The flight is


    10:30 p.m., and you can go to the airport now. We can talk about other thingster when youe


    back.”


    Even though Christopher was mentally prepared, he was still in a daze when he heard Yuliana was


    missing. Christopher rubbed his face and quickly came back to his senses. His voice was tight. “How


    long has she been missing?”


    La said, “At 8:30 p.m., she called Hailey for about half an hour at most. Ten minutes ago, Kendrick


    contacted someone to confirm Yuliana’s whereabouts. I think we’ll hear from her soon.”


    After a pause, Laforted Christopher, “Don’t worry too much. Yuliana will be fine.”


    It was not difficult for the Sce family to find someone in Juxshire with their ability.


    The most important thing now was to not waste time. Yuliana would be in more danger with every


    second that passed.


    Christopher was silent for a moment before he said, “I’ll be right back. Tell me if there’s any news about


    Ana.” La replied. “I’ve got a phone call. I think it’s about Yuliana. I’ll hang up first.”


    Then, she hung up the phone.


    Christopher returned to the private room and told Cameron about what had happened. He greeted the


    chiefs, picked up the coat on the chair, and rushed to the airport.


    It was the police who called La.


    ording to the signal from Yuliana’s phone, it can be determined that she was going south, but the


    signal. disappeared because her phone was turned offter. However, ording to her phone’s signal,


    the sky eye, and the surveince camera, they could still determine where Yuliana was heading, but it


    would take some time to figure out her whereabouts.


    When she heard this, La was relieved. At least it proved that Yuliana was safe for now.


    “La, any news about Yuliana?” Annabelle asked.


    La was in deep thought when the call finished. She did not even notice Annabelle showed up behind


    her.


    When she heard Annabelle’s voice, La came back to her senses. She turned to look at Annabelle


    behind. her. She asked, “Did you hear it?”N?velDrama.Org content rights.
