The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 466 Cassie's Disappearance

Jessy never thought she'd get a call from Marcus again in her lifetime. For a moment, she was so overwhelmed that she could hardly form a sentence.

"Jessy, let me ask you something. Has Cassie contacted you or told you to do anything?" Marcus' deep, magnetic voice was laced with ice. "I don't have time for your nonsense. You'd better answer me right now."

The excitement that had surged in Jessy's chest instantly turned ice cold. Her thrill barely lasted three seconds before reality came crashing down.

"I..." She felt a mix of sadness and fear at the coldness in his voice. "Cassie hasn't contacted me. Ever since I messed things up in Balford and got punished by her, she never spoke to me again."

Jessy had never liked Cassie, but she had relied on her to get close to the Holden family and even marry Marcus. As such, she had no choice but to obey Cassie at every turn, trying to please her.

After failing the mission in Balford, where she was supposed to help treat Charles, she lost the opportunity to be in Cassie's inner circle.

Just as she was about to say more, the call ended. She felt dejected as she listened to the empty beeping tone.

It was obvious that Marcus' relationship with Cassie was just as bad as ever.

Jessy started thinking. If Marcus was looking for Cassie, maybe she could gain some favor with him by providing useful information.

With that in mind, she immediately picked up her phone and started reaching out to her contacts.

But after asking around, she came up empty. No one had any idea where Cassie had gone. The only thing people knew was that she had left Dithoria City a couple of days ago.

There were no flight records under her name, and her car hadn't left the city either. Yet somehow, she had vanished without a trace.

"This is so weird," Jessy muttered to herself. "A person doesn't just disappear into thin air!"

"I need to dig deeper." Determined, she picked up her phone again and continued making calls.
