After Michelle Scott got off the plane, she waited at the exit for Talia to pick her up.
She stood in the cold wind for half an hour and still didn’t see Talia, so she took out her phone and called Talia.
Instead, she heard the cold chanical voice indicating that the number she dialed was invalid.
How did it suddenly beco invalid? An hour ago, they had just talked!
Michelle felt very strange.
Could it be that sothing happened to Talia?
The call didn’t go through, so she imdiately opened WeChat and tried to video call Talia Rhodes.
It rang until it hung up automatically, and nobody answered.
After calling five video calls in a row with no response, Michelle began to worry.
Just now, when she spoke to Lawyer Rhodes, he said he would be at the airport in twenty minutes, but now forty minutes have passed, and she hasn’t seen a shadow of anyone, she can’t get through on the phone, and no one answered the video call.
In Oakhaven, Michelle didn’t know anyone other than Talia Rhodes.
In her anxiety, Michelle suddenly rembered Talia ntioning the law firm’s na, and the address Talia had sent in a ssage was still there.
It was called Apex Law Firm.
Michelle imdiately looked up this law firm online, and soon the webpage displayed information about the firm, including the firm’s landline number.
She dialed the number, but no one answered after a long ti.
In a state of panic, Michelle forgot that it was after business hours, and there was no one at the law firm; calling this number was pointless.
Very anxious and with no other option, Michelle had to call the police.
The police imdiately contacted Talia’s family to confirm if she was indeed missing.
Shawn Rhodes and Lillian Young rushed to call Talia’s friends when they heard she was out of contact, to see if she was with any of them.
Yvonne Coleman was drinking when she got the call, "No, Talia is not with ."
Shawn Rhodes spoke urgently and quickly, "Can you reach her from your side? We can’t get through to Talia."
"Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll try to reach her first."
After hanging up, Yvonne imdiately tried to contact Talia.
As Shawn said, she couldn’t get through to Talia by phone, and no one answered the WeChat voice call either.
Yvonne felt sothing was wrong and imdiately told Adrian Jennings about it.
...
After the black car ramd into Talia’s car, only part of it was damaged externally, but it was still functional, and the car could still drive.
The man who got out was more skilled than the first man, and Talia was no match for him. After a brief struggle, Talia was defeated, her hands and feet were bound, and she was stuffed into the car.
"Why are you kidnapping ? Is it for money?" Talia asked.
The driver laughed out loud as if he had heard a funny joke, "Hahaha, for money? Our boss doesn’t care for your little money."
"Boss?" Talia sharply caught the key information.
Rembering the terrifying mont she almost got shot on the street, Talia turned pale, "Are you Vincent Fletcher’s people?"
The driver suddenly barked, "How dare you call our boss by na, do you have a death wish?"
From the back seat, Vincent Fletcher’s personal bodyguard and most trusted aide, Eric Donovan, spoke, "Do you know our boss?"
Talia’s eyes flickered with scorn, "How could I not know? He almost took my life."
"..."
Eric Donovan paused briefly, "Since you know, let be frank. Your man ssed with our people and caused us heavy losses, so we had to take action regarding his woman. It’s a reciprocal exchange."
"Who are you talking about?" A mocking smile appeared on Talia’s lips, "You can’t be referring to Adrian Jennings as my man, can you? Haha, don’t you know we broke up a long ti ago? If you’re looking to get back at his woman, you’ve got the wrong person. We’re no longer involved."
Eric Donovan coldly chuckled, "Apart from you, who else could be his woman?"
"Haven’t you seen the entertainnt news buzzing everywhere? He’s parading around with a movie star every day. Are you blind? What do you want with ?"
A mont later, Eric Donovan spoke in a chilling tone, "Don’t you know that Adrian Jennings broke up with you and called off the engagent to keep you out of this?"
Talia snorted, "You’re overestimating . He publicly announced his relationship with the actress, and you’re still fixated on ?"
Eric Donovan’s lips curved slightly as he couldn’t help but let out a laugh, "Miss Rhodes, are you really unaware, or are you pretending? The celebrity rumored to be with Adrian Jennings is actually his cousin."
Talia’s expression froze upon hearing this, her eyes widening in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"Heh," Eric Donovan sneered, "Miss Rhodes, I don’t know if I should praise your acting skills or comnd Adrian Jennings for shielding you so well."
Talia was filled with confusion, "What do you an by that?"
Eric Donovan was Vincent Fletcher’s personal bodyguard, and he usually rarely left Fletcher’s side to act.
But recently, Logan Sullivan was captured, and they suffered a significant blow.
Vincent Fletcher had people sent to assassinate Adrian Jennings a few tis but failed repeatedly. Therefore, initially, Vincent Fletcher and he were deceived.
They thought Adrian Jennings had truly changed his feelings.
After all, given his status as The Jennings Family’s Crown Prince, it was normal to play around with actresses.
The Jennings Family was also cautious, keeping their adopted daughter Selina Hughes in the dark as well.
Even Selina Hughes didn’t know the real reason why Adrian Jennings and Talia Rhodes broke up.
Recently, when Logan Sullivan was caught while doing sothing for Vincent Fletcher, Adrian Jennings’ people found a flaw, and Logan Sullivan was arrested by the police.
With help from The Jennings Family, the dozens of companies controlled by Logan Sullivan were also investigated by the police.
Although those companies seed to be under Logan Sullivan’s control on the surface, in reality, they were tools for Vincent Fletcher to earn dirty money.
Logan Sullivan was charged with multiple cris. He’s formally under arrest, and sentencing is only a matter of ti. It’s expected to be either the death penalty or life imprisonnt.
Vincent Fletcher suffered a huge loss and could no longer stay in Veridia.
They were readying to go back to Aridia.
But before returning to Aridia, Vincent Fletcher had to get back at them hard.
Vincent Fletcher had sent people to assassinate Adrian Jennings several tis, without success.
In his desperation, he thought of Talia Rhodes.
Vincent Fletcher is inherently suspicious, and recently, while he was going over things carefully, he felt there was sothing fishy about Adrian Jennings breaking up with Talia Rhodes.
