A Film Queen

Chapter 359

George looked at him, his face all cool and detached.

That stare of his could chill everyone to the bone.

Danny hesitated briefly before responding, “Okay, I know who you mean now.”

George, unable to easily let things go, pulled out his phone again only to find it still showing no updates.

“Hey Danny, can you take your phone outside and see if you get any service?”

George asked, his tone still frosty.

Danny stepped outside with his phone, saw the 5G connection, and frowned.

They were in a top-tier VIP ward that costs a fortune for a single night’s stay. No way there shouldn’t be any signal here.

Plus, they had just been using a laptop for a meeting with no problem. So, there’s no way for the phones not to work.

“Cough, Mr. Tate, we’ve got full bars here, so the signal’s not the issue. Maybe Ms. Milly just left the hospital and is swamped with stuff at home, so she hasn’t had a moment to call you.” Danny was trying to keep it simple.

George’s usually calm face instantly knit together with concern.

Danny shivered more. “Should I contact Ms. Milly for you?”

Before George could even get a word out, Scarface burst in, saying, “Boss, we’ve got trouble. The Ghost Sect claims they’ve kidnapped your girlfriend, and they’re daring you to come after her. I followed the breadcrumbs they dropped and even snooped around the Burnetts’ place, and it checks out – Ms. Milly’s the one they’ve taken.”

George and Danny’s faces dropped in unison at that bombshell.
