Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 239

At the mall entrance, Elysia steadied her emotions and turned to Zane, saying, "Please, let us know the moment you hear anything about Winona. And remember, depression isn't something to take lightly. Keep an eye on Sarah, and it's probably best not to let her wander off alone."

"Of course! The second I get any news about Winona, you'll be the first to know. As for Sarah, we're keeping a close watch. Her sneaking out today was an unexpected slip; we'll be more vigilant moving forward."

"Alright." Elysia chatted casually with Zane for a few more moments before bidding him goodbye and walking away.

The moment she was out of Zane's sight, her expression shifted, and she quickly called Callum, "Hey, could you possibly check on Zane's cousin Sarah for me? I have a hunch she might know something about Winona. Also, Zane mentioned he got in touch with Winona's agent."

Callum was taken aback. "He got in touch with Winona's agent?"

"Yes."

"How is that possible? I've been trying to reach her for days with no luck."

"I'm not sure of the details; that's just what Zane told me."

"Alright, I'll keep you posted."

"And... try to keep it on the down-low, okay? We don't want to startle anyone."

"Got it."
