Chapter 82: She’s gone Chapter 82: She’s gone Arnold Johnson was only halfway in his car when she received a call from Little Sister.
“Victoria, where are you now?” Hannah Garcia’s voice was anxious and fast.
Upon hearing this voice, Victoria instinctively sat up straighter.
“Hannah, what happened?”
Harriet replied, “It’s Ava… she seems to be missing.”
“What do you an, seems to be?” Victoria found the phrasing headache inducing.
Hannah gritted her teeth on the other end before saying, “Ten days ago, Ava called and asked to find out about sothing. She said to call her back once I had the full story. But when I tried to call her last night, her phone was switched off. I tried many tis today, and it’s still switched off. Worried, I went to the school to find her, only to learn from her dormmates that she left the dorm two days ago and hasn’t returned since.”
“What did she want you to find out?” Victoria asked.
Harriet had to admit, “She wanted to inquire about Young Master Lee at the school.”
“Can’t you stop doing such things for your thoughtless sister?” Victoria’s voice raised a decibel as she said this.
But soon she cald down again, knowing that it was not the ti to discuss Ava piquing interest in the wealthy young master.

Victoria directly refused, “Obey and go ho and wait with Sister.”
“Victoria, I’m grown up now, I can help.”
Victoria paused for a mont before saying, “Okay, if I need your help while searching for Ava, I will call you, alright?”
Harriet, gripping her phone, glanced at the darkening sky. Her bright eyes dimd halfway, answering, “Okay.”
She knew that if sothing significant had happened to Ava, Victoria would definitely keep her and Sister out of it.
“Trust , Harriet! I will bring Ava ho. Then we four sisters can celebrate New Year together,” Victoria said softly.
Victoria hung up the phone and t Arnold’s gaze.
Then, she made two more calls, to friends she knew were close to Ava.
Both of them said over the phone that they had no idea where Ava might be.
“Leave it to . I will have soone look into her recent whereabouts,” Arnold told her before he pulled out his phone to make a call.
Victoria sat silently in the passenger seat, looking at his profile, and at the curve of his lips as he spoke…
