Faux Vows, True Desires

Cecilia shook her head regretfully. "I didn't get a good look, and all I know is that it was a taxi. Lucy got a phone call and rushed out. There was a taxi parked nearby and she didn't even bother to check if anyone was in it before she hopped in. The taxi drove off instantly, and I didn't see the license plate."

Seeing that Cecilia couldn't provide any useful information, Ike immediately got into his car and drove off, dialing Lucinda's number while on the move.

Her phone was off.

A surge of anxiety washed over Ike.

He switched to calling Stefan instead.

Stefan was well-connected and influential, making him a better choice for finding Lucinda.

Suddenly getting a call from Ike, Stefan felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that Ike might be bringing him trouble again.

At the same time, his other cell phone also rang. It was Zoey.

Zoey was the bodyguard that Nelson had secretly assigned to protect Lucinda.

Stefan's face instantly changed. As he picked up both calls, he said to Ike, "Ike, hold on a sec, I've got another call on the other line, I'll be right back..." "Stefan, Lucy's in danger!"

Before Stefan could finish, Ike interrupted him, saying, "Lucy got a call at her shop, saying I'd been in a car accident. She didn't even check, just ran out of the shop and got into a taxi that parked outside. Cecilia ran out after her, managed to exchange a few words with her, and then the car was gone."

"Lucy's phone is off now and Cecilia didn't get the taxi's license plate. I need you to find someone to track it down. If we can get the surveillance footage of the shop entrance, we should be able to figure out which car Lucy got into."

Upon hearing this, Stefan's face paled.

He was anxious, but he couldn't afford to panic.
