Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 166 Complain Tearfully in His Villa

Chandler forced himself to be cheerful when facing Cherry. He said with a smile, “Erin accidentally dropped her phone into the pool, so her phone is broken and can’t be used for now. I’ll buy her a new one soon. Don’t worry.”

Only then did Cherry feel reassured and said, “So, that’s what happened. I feel at case now. Where are you guys now? Is Erin with you?”

Her words made Chandler frown a little, then he continued to lie, saying. “We’re back in the city. Erin’s sleeping in the bedroom. I’m having a video conference.”

Hearing that he was having a conference, Cherry immediately said, “Gosh, I’m sorry to interrupt your meeting! I’m fine. I’ll talk to you guys later. Chandler, thank you for taking such meticulous care of Erin. She was blessed to have met you.”

Chandler felt guilty when he heard that, but he could not let it show. He could only continue exchanging pleasantries with a stiff face.

Soon, the call ended. This was the first time Chandler’s palms got sweaty when talking to Erin’s mother.

He did not have the courage to tell Cherry the truth. Because even if Cherry learned about the situation at that moment, she would not be of any help to the search for Erin.

Erin had already gone missing, so Chandler could not let anything happen to Erin’s mother and brother anymore.

Cherry and Gavin were abroad, but a number of bodyguards in casual clothes had appeared by their sides.

Before Chandler put his phone back into his pocket, it rang.

Chandler saw that it was Osborn Hext calling, so he answered it without missing a beat.

“Hello, Mr. Frost. According to the new clues provided by the detective we’ve sent over, many tourists have provided photos of the scenery and people they had taken that day. We’ve found a middle–aged woman among these photos who looked very suspicious. When she walked into the restaurant, there was nobody in the wheelchair at all. But when the middle–aged woman pushed the wheelchair out after what happened to your bodyguards, there was an additional woman in it. We can see from the photos given to us by the tourists that she pushed the wheelchair to board a tourist submarine. We’re already looking at it following this lead, but if the suspect, Jack, disguised himself and used a fake passport to leave and enter the border, it’ll still be very hard for us to investigate”

Osborn sounded serious and very pessimistic. If Jack had planned a perfect escape route before then, then he would be hard to catch.
