Later that evening, the sun shone through the clouds and filled the sky with an enchanting red hue, creating a spellbinding sight. At the same time, a Lamborghini was seen entering Emerald Harbor shortly before it pulled up in front of a modern-looking mansion. Then, Stanley grabbed his cake with him and exited the car with a smile, entering the living room while radiating a gentle aura.
“Greetings, Mr. Fox.” The butler courteously bowed to Stanley.
With the cake in his hand, Stanley went directly upstairs and disappeared to the corner as the butler watched and let out a sigh. “Melinda!” He found no signs of Melinda in the bedroom and the study. “Melinda?” He continued to search for her on the second floor but to no avail. This is strange. Where is she? He was still holding the cake as he descended the stairs. “Where is Melinda? Isn’t she home?”
The butler didn’t answer Stanley’s question as he took the cake from Stanley’s hand and gave him a letter. “What’s this?” Stanley took the letter and glimpsed the butler. When he noticed his butler’s silence, he instantly had a bad feeling that prompted him to unwrap the envelope.
The butler spoke with a deep voice. “Mrs. Fox is gone. She wrote you this letter.”
I was initially planning to leave without saying goodbye, but I didn’t think that would be polite, which was why I wrote you this letter. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be with you for the rest of your life. Thus, I’m going to have to entrust you with Samuel and Pamela. Take good care of them. I wish you happiness and fortune, Melinda wrote in her letter.novelxo.com fast update
Despite the brief message, it was enough to make Stanley feel like his heart just stopped beating. “When did this happen?!” His eyes widened as he crumpled the paper and questioned coldly, “Where did she go?!”
“She left not long after you went out.” The butler apologetically added, “Mrs. Fox wouldn’t let me call you. She said you’d know everything when you got back.”
As an unfathomable expression flashed across Stanley’s face, he quickly ran out of the living room, stunning his butler. Then, he entered his Lamborghini and made his way to Repulse Bay. With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached for his phone with the other and dialed Max’s number. “Melinda left a note and disappeared. Find out where she is! Now!” After hanging up the call, Stanley was seen with his eyes filled with rage, his heart overwhelmed by a stab of pain. She is gone! No way! No way she is gone! I’m not going to have it that way!
Although the driving usually took 20 minutes, it only took Stanley five to get to his destination. Upon arrival, he pulled an emergency brake right in front of the mansion at Repulse Bay, stopping so abruptly that smoke started to emerge from his tires. At the same time, the deafening screeching sound echoed through the neighborhood.
Soon, Jennifer was greeted by the sight of her son dashing at her from his car in an aggressive manner. “Why did you make her leave?!” Stanley ran up to his mother, his words harsh and direct. “Where did she go?!” He acted like he was talking to his enemy.
Seeing Stanley’s response, Stephanie, who was holding a tray, stopped breathing and stood in place like a statue. Meanwhile, Jennifer continued to sit on the couch and calmly answered, “I don’t know. I didn’t make her leave. Instead, it was her own decision to do that.”
“So, you knew she was going to leave?!” Stanley clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with hatred and grudge. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As the intense atmosphere began to fill the living room, Stephanie somehow didn’t even dare to take a deep breath, only standing there like a statue. On the other hand, Jennifer only sat down indifferently. “I
couldn’t stop her from leaving, could I? If even you have no idea where she went, what makes you think I’d
know?”
Angry with his mother’s attitude, Stanley was seen with a cold look that flashed across his eyes, but even so, he did his best to control his emotions. “I’m going to ask you one last time. Where did she go?!” He emphasized every single word he said, as if he was about to murder the person he was talking to.
“I’m going to say this one last time.” Jennifer looked up. “I don’t know.”
As the mother and son exchanged gazes, Stanley’s agitated emotions were slowly starting to show on his face. Meanwhile, Stephanie’s forehead was covered with cold sweat when she saw his clenched fists.
Soon, Stanley landed a punch on the table, making a loud bang that shocked Jennifer and sent chills down her spine. At the same time, Stephanie was also so startled that she accidentally dropped the tray from her hands, making a loud shattering sound as the hot tea spilled all over the floor.
“If I can’t find her, you will no longer be my mother!” Stanley made his point madly before he stomped
off.
