Chapter 267

In the car, Joycelyn stared out at the dazzling nightscape, lost in thought

The streetlights outside flickered in and out, casting soft, shifting light onto her delicate, palm–dized face. Hertaubat eyes reflected the glow, and her quiet demeanor radiated warmth and serenity.

The silence in the car was broken when Ellison’s phone rang. Even though it wasit on speaker, the sound was clear in the quiet space.

He said, “If they’re missing, just call them. They’re adults, How could they just disappear?

Hearing this, Joycelyn withdrew her gaze from the window and turned to look at him.

After he ended the call, she asked, “What happened? Who’s missing?”

Ellison said, “Grandma called. She said that after we left, Tanya and Bellina followed us in their car. Now, no one can reach them. She asked if I knew anything.”

Joycelyn frowned slightly, momentarily confused. “They couldn’t have just vanished, right?”

From what she knew, Tanya and Bellina were the type of arrogant, spoiled heiresses who always made a grand spectacle wherever they went.

The fact that they stuck together wasn’t surprising, nor was them following her and Ellison.

Ellison replied, “If they did, that’s their problem.”

Joycelyn said, “I have a feeling her father is the one worried. Otherwise, Grandma wouldn’t have bothered calling you.”

“He’s afraid I’ll fall out with the Schultz family?” Ellison slid his phone into the pocket of his suit jacket. Then, in one swift motion, he pulled Joycelyn onto his lap.
