My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 256

Chapter 256 As Billie and Kailee were on the verge of leaving, the housekeeper intercepted them with the landline phone held out in both hands.

“Mrs.

Norris, there’s a call for Mr.

Murray.”

Billie hesitated before accepting the phone, her brow creasing in mild confusion.

“Albin? Why would he be calling here?”

The housekeeper merely shrugged, conveying her own uncertainty.

“He didn’t specify, just insisted on talking to you directly.”

“Talking to me?” Billie’s confusion deepened with each passing second.

Kailee, ever the playful niece, gently tugged at Billie’s arm.

“Auntie Billie, it sounds serious.

Maybe you should find out what Albin wants directly?”

Reluctantly, Billie took the phone and inquired cautiously, “Albin, what’s going on?”

Albin’s voice crackled with urgency on the other end.

“Billie, it’s Elizabeth.

She’s missing.

Apparently, she’s gotten tangled up in some rumors with a co-actor, and it’s blown up all over the trending news…”

Before Albin could elaborate further, Billie interrupted him, her voice tinged with anger.

“What? Engaged in a scandal with some actor, and now it’s all over the media? How utterly disgraceful—poor Elijah must be mortified!”

Albin, struggling to keep his composure, corrected her gently, “No, Billie, you’ve got it wrong.
