When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1391 Not Answering Her Calls

Stella never expected that George would actually choose a girl who was even less impressive than herself!

The crucial point was that Shen Ze had actually agreed!

She stared at Vivian, her eyes filled with jealousy.

The person on the bed began to stir awake at this moment.

Vivian opened her eyes, feeling an intense pain in her head. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, somewhat dazed.

"Where is this place?"

Seeing that she had awoken, Stella immediately left the room.

She needed to ensure she left herself a way out, and that meant not letting Vivian know Stella was the one who kidnapped her. Otherwise, if Vivian told Zachary, Zachary would certainly not let her go. "Tonight, she's all yours," Stella instructed several burly men. "Make sure you enjoy yourselves. Don't let my goodwill go to waste."

The men displayed lewd grins. "Understood. Thank you, Ms. Ross."

"In the future, don't address me as Ms. Ross; call me Ms. Jamieson instead," Stella said.

"Yes, Ms. Jamieson."

Only then did Stella leave that place, satisfied.

Meanwhile, Cecilia was keeping Elliot company as he underwent treatment at the hospital.

Cecilia was yet unaware of Vivian's disappearance, only that her calls to the latter went unanswered and she couldn't reach her.

She had no choice but to seek out Zachary, and it was only through him that she learned Vivian had expressed a need to be alone for a while.

After that, she didn't reach out to Vivian again, deciding to wait until the latter had sorted out her thoughts.

"Mommy, I want some water." Elliot spoke up.

"All right, I'll go fetch you some water now."

Cecilia rose to fetch her son a glass of water.

Elliot had now shaved off all his hair and was awaiting the upcoming surgery.

His entire body was in pain, but he was afraid that Cecilia would find out, so he silently endured it.

Cecilia poured him some water, of which he only sipped a little before urging her "Mommy, you should go rest as you need to attend Ms. Kennedy's wedding tomorrow. I'm fine now. Ms. Hills and Mdm Bailey are here with me."

"All right, once you've fallen asleep, I'll head home," Cecilia said, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at him.

In order to hasten Cecilia's departure, Elliot feigned sleep.

Assuming he had fallen asleep, Cecilia gave some instructions to Theresa, then consulted the doctor before she left.

By the time she returned home, it was already around seven or eight in the evening. Even so, her calls to Vivian still went unanswered.

However, she received a text message from Vivian: Ceci, whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Upon reading the message, Cecilia responded with an "okay."

On the other side, Stella was holding Vivian's phone, utterly elated.

Her plan was to buy herself some time so she could spring a surprise on Cecilia and Zachary the next day. She wanted them to regret their past actions!

From where she was at the Jamieson residence, she called the people she had hired, asking, "How are things going?"

"We're still working on it, just wait for the video," the person on the other side responded.

Only then did Stella feel at ease and put down her phone.

As time ticked away, the dawn of a new day arrived swiftly. Zachary tried to call Vivian, but still, no one answered.

He was getting a bit anxious.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"What's going on?" George inquired, tapping his cane against the ground.

"Everything's fine, Grandpa. Don't overthink it. I'll go to the Four Seasons Hotel to pick her up soon."

"Okay." nodded George.

After Zachary finished speaking, he walked out.

He dialed another number, which turned out to be Ernest.

Ernest had gone the entire night without sleep. As soon as he saw the incoming call from Zachary, he promptly answered.

"Mr. Sinclair, is there something you need?"

Zachary didn't beat around the bush

with him. He got straight to the point. "Did Vivian seek you out yesterday? Is she with you right now?"
