His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 262

Meanwhile, James was the first suspect Stephen had in mind upon receiving Naomi's call and learning that Tessa was missing.

James' whereabouts had been erratic ever since he returned to Orkford. The identity he used had been fabricated in advance, and the number he was using was registered under someone else's name.

Stephen couldn't get his hands on James' number, so he could only wait for James to reach out to him first.

However, he couldn't wait, not even for a second.

The thought of Tessa being in danger sent Stephen reeling, leaving him with black spots in his vision. His heart clenched with anxiety, and even breathing became difficult at the thought.

Stephen forced himself to keep his cool and took out his phone to make a call. "I want to see Cayden."

He had just ended the call when he received a call from an unknown number.

He had a hunch that it was James calling, so he immediately answered the phone.
