Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 167

Megan froze for a second, then turned her head to see Timothy.

The guy who was supposed to be getting engaged, who looked so vibrant and lively in the engagement video, now appeared haggard and worn, with a hint of red in his eyes.

“Where’s Lucia?” Timothy’s voice was raspy, and the grip on Megan’s wrist was painfully tight.

Megan gathered herself.

She looked straight at Timothy and said softly. “When we talked on the phone yesterday, she was at her place in Borough City. Timothy, aren’t you getting engaged? Why are you looking for her?”

Timothy let go of her and imitably lit up a cigarette.

A pale grey smoke began to rise.

With his long fingers, he flicked the ash and spoke in a low voice, “I haven’t been able to reach her since last night! Megan, it’s not that I don’t want to let her go; I can’t let go of myself!”

Megan murmured in disbelief, “Timothy, you’re getting engaged! Do you want Lucia to be your mistress? If you keep bothering her, will your fiancée Corona let Lucia be? Lucia has nothing… she’s just an orphan, and with Corona’s family wealth and power, it would be easy for her to ham Lucia.”

Timothy’s voice was hoarse, “I won’t let Corona hurt her.”
