Roxanne had an unnatural expression on her face. "I-I don''t know. Haven''t I told you? I only saw her get into a luxurious car looking ecstatic. As to what happened after that, my guess is just as good as yours!"
Just as she finished speaking, I sped my hands around her neck.
"You better tell me the truth!"
Her eyes widened fearfully. "I-I''m not lying! I''m telling the truth. If you don''t believe me, go ask Felicia!"
At this point, even if she didn''t tell the truth, I couldn''t do anything about it. It''s not like I could beat her up.
24 hours had passed without any contact with Felicia. Something must have happened.
I could not continue waiting. I immediately contacted Victor and Quintus, inviting them over to Imperia Manor to discuss our next step.
There weren''t many people I could use in Welsington. Thankfully, Victor was a powerful man with many connections. With him present, there wouldn''t be much of an issue looking into Felicia''s whereabouts.
When we met up, I told him about how Felicia was missing.
He replied seriously, "If that''s the case, there''s a high chance that Ms. Cylon was deluded and had gotten kidnapped."
Quintus nodded and added, "Mr. Hart is right. Although you concealed your identity rtively well, there are still a few people in Welsington who are aware of your true identity. They''ve got the reckless bravery to scheme against you, perhaps to swindle some money out of you. In that case, Felicia would be the most suitable candidate to do so."
I inhaled sharply.
Had Felicia been kidnapped?
If they only wanted money, it would be an easy fix. However, if they were an enemy of mine who wanted to exact revenge against me, what could I do?
"Mr. White, don''t be too nervous. I''ll contact the airport to obtain the surveince footage to see whether we can get any clues from there."
I replied, "Alright. Mr. Hart, you must ensure Felicia''s safety no matter the cost!"
Victor nodded.
While he investigated, I could do nothing else other than wait patiently at home. Crystal called me multiple times, but I never picked up. I couldn''t deal with anyone else at the moment.
Yet, Jane called me, which came as a surprise. I picked up immediately.
"William, I''ve been discharged from the hospital. I wanted to inform you about it so you wouldn''t visit me at the hospital."
I was a little surprised. Guilt gued me.
The first time we met, I told her I''d visit her every few days. I kept to that promise for a while. However, after her sessful surgery, my visits became far and few between.
Recently, Felicia and I had been preupied with her mom''s visit. Then, I had to deal with Crystal. Too many things had happened. I couldn''t take time out of my busy schedule to visit her. At least ten days had passed since Ist went to see her.
Yet, she had gotten discharged.
"Jane, do you have a ce to stay after leaving the hospital?"
