He was puzzled. Was she angry? Feeling a little frustrated, he called Cassidy to inquire about his wife.“I've been trying to reach you” Cassidy said when she picked up. Jane wasn't in the best mood this morning. She went out and isn't home yet. It's so late, is it safe for a girl like her to be out alone?”“Did she pick up when you called her?” Ethan instantly sounded anxious.“No.” Cassidy sounded worried but she was secretly overjoyed. Jane had gone to W County with no address to go to, she must be panicking. Cassidy wondered what would happen to her…Ethan hung up, his expression troubled. He called Bruce over and ordered him to find out where his wife was.After asking around Jane's school, Bruce found out that Jane and Ivy left together after school, then he got in contact with a puzzled Ivy.“She booked a flight to W County yesterday. She should have reached it a long time ago!”Bruce’s scalp tingled. Are you sure she went to W County?”“What do you mean?” Ivy felt that somethin
“It's been hard on you Jane. I will take you to rest after you've treated your wound.”“No thank you, Senior. I want to find my husband first.” Jane went to the front desk to ask if there was a patient named Ethan Harrington.When Brock Davenport heard her utter Ethan Harrington's name, he looked at her with heartache. So she had only come to look for that cripple Ethan Harrington. He nearly turned around and left but when he saw her face etched with worry, complete with her injured arm, his heart softened.“I will help you look for him, Jane.”“The two of them looked around and checked the hospital records but they found no trace of Ethan Harrington.Brock Davenport comforted her with the suggestion that her husband wasn't in this hospital. He would take her to treat her wound and then go to his place to rest for a while. Otherwise even if she found her husband she will be in no clear position to take care of him if she was unwell herself.Jane felt depressed but there was nothing els
Bruce followed Ethan into the mansion and met an obviously fidgety Cassidy in the living room who hopped off the couch immediately as they walked in.“Did you find her?” she asked Ethan as she stepped towards them but he brushed past her and went up the stairs to the room, his posture stiff and gait brisk.She turned to Bruce with a questioning gaze, “What happened in W county?”Bruce cleared his throat as he eyed the direction which his Young Master had exited.“It would seem, Dr Owen, that the Young Mistress has gone to Young Master Davenport in W County.”“Gone?” She echoed, “Pardon me but I don’t think I understand what you just said… Jane loves Ethan very much so that has to be some sort of misunderstanding.”Bruce sighed, “I wish it was but unfortunately it isn’t. Young Master Ethan found her at the Davenport mansion in W county, asleep in Young Master Davenport’s bed.”Cassidy gasped in disbelief, “I can’t believe this! After everything Ethan has done for her? Did Young Master D
Bruce pondered the situation as he exited his Young Master’s office, he wondered if they were doing the right thing. He was already having doubts because it was him who had reported to Ethan and he wouldn’t be able to bear the guilt if he had indeed missed something.But he had to obey the Young Master’s order for now or his head would be absent from the rest of his body before dawn.As he went down the stairs, Cassidy emerged from the closed off balcony beside Ethan’s study. She hid her victorious smirk and entered the study.“Ethan, how are you feeling?” She put on a look of worry as she attempted to walk behind his desk but he pinned her with his sharp gaze and she froze.“I would appreciate some quiet in my study, Cassidy. I have work to do.”“Of course, just let me know if you need anything,” she retraced her steps and sashayed to the door then turned to look at him again.“And I’m always here if you need to speak to someone.”Ethan watched as she shut the door behind her before l
Jane stared at Brock Davenport as she struggled to ask for help, she didn’t want anything that would make her feel like she owed him.“Jane? What’s the matter? Do you need something?” He asked as he stared back at her.“Senior, I’m really very sorry to ask but can I use your phone? I don’t know what is wrong with mine, it’s not working.”“My phone? You want to call your husband?”“Yes, my phone isn’t working at all and I’m even more worried. I don’t know how he is or if he’s better now.”Her words became more panicked as she spoke.“Oh, I’m sorry but that isn’t possible. You can’t use my phone.”“Eh? But… why? Did I do something wrong over the night?”He chuckled, “No, I don’t have phone access either. My grandfather made sure of that.”“What? No house phones either? That’s just mean, what if something happened to you in this foreign country?”“It’s alright, he thought about all of that so I’m fine.”“Still…” she sighed, rich people were just built differently. If only she knew that he
Bruce walked into the mansion with wide strides and met Cassidy in the living room. He nodded perfunctorily at her and continued up the flight of stairs to his Young Master’s study.He knocked and opened the door as Ethan responded.“Good evening, Young Master,” he greeted with his head bowed as he got ready for the questioning.“Where were you, Bruce? I was informed that you took your personal car as soon as you left.”Ethan raised his eyes from the files on his desk and pinned Bruce with a deep gaze.“I had no intention of activating the tracker because I knew you would tell me yourself… so?”“Yes, Young Master. I… went to the Young Mistress’s school.” Bruce was aware his Young Master was even more paranoid now that he believed the Young Mistress had left him for Young Master Davenport.Ethan’s eyes narrowed at the mention of Jane, it seemed she had taken the loyalty of even his right hand and he hated that he felt powerless against that because it was his fault. “School? What for?
Bruce left the mansion in his Escalade after packing a few clothes and essentials, he would come back once he had all the evidence he needed to prove his Young Mistress’s innocence.He drove to Baymont and got a parking spot before approaching the familiar receptionist.“Maestro Bruce.” She nodded in acknowledgment.“Ah Giulia, as lovely as ever. Tell Maurice I’m here, would you?”“Absolutely. You know your way to the…”“Bar? Sure love, I’ll be fine by myself, you go ahead,” he winked as he stalked off and she shook her head with a small smile as she instructed the special bell boy to wheel his luggage to his assigned room.He went to the private booth and a Swiss knife flew at his face as he drew the curtains which he caught between his index and middle finger.“As sharp as ever I see,” a man with a Russian accent said as he chuckled and puffed a Panetela Gigante as he rose to his feet.“Maurice,” Bruce called as he embraced the man and clapped him on the back, “I see your cigars have
Ivy sat on her princess bed and kept trying to call Jane over and over but the same automated voice repeated the same message over and over.“What is going on? Where are you, Jane? I should have discouraged you from leaving,” she lamented with guilt written all over her.She turned her attention to the door as it opened, her mum walked in and smiled at her but immediately noticed something was wrong.“Jane, dear? Is everything alright? You don’t look cheerful today, you didn’t even hear me knock.”“I’m sorry, mum. I’m just worried about Jane,” her head bent, staring at her phone so she didn’t notice the look on her mum’s face.“What happened to her? Did both of you argue or something?”“No, mum. She’s out of state.”“Ohhh, so you miss her then. Aww,” her mum pinched her cheeks.,“Yes but that’s not the issue,” Ivy caught her mum’s hand and held it in her palms in a comforting gesture, “she left alone and has been unreachable for a while now.”Her mum gasped loudly in horror, “So no one
