Chapter 514: Chapter 493: Do You Dare to Make a Deal With ?
“How do I get there, and how did you know?”
As soon as she heard about the blood diamond, Julie thoughtlessly chose to believe it. For the Harrisons, the diamond was extrely important. On his deathbed, her father had said that if the diamond could not be recovered, he would be unable to rest in peace!
Therefore, after her father had passed away, every ti Julie faced Oliver at night, the image of her father on his deathbed would appear in her mind.
“Because I keep a close eye on Oliver’s every move. What kind of person am I? Where do I fit in? Julie, you’ve been fighting with
for so many years. Are you telling
that you still don’t know about my dark connections?”
At her words, Julie hesitated for a mont before acknowledging that this woman indeed had connections similar to Oliver’s, and that it wasn’t strange at all for her to know so much.
“If you ca to find
today, you must be willing to take
to see Oliver, right?”
“Yes, since I ca to find you, there must, of course, be a transaction!”
Amanda’s gaze swept across Julie’s cheek before stating her purpose, “Are you willing to make a deal with ?”
Dare she?
Hah!
This woman…
Asking such a question now, isn’t she too late?
“It’s just a lost life at worst, nothing to be afraid of!” Julie had been fighting with her for so many years with no result. Perhaps making a deal with her would resolve all the grudges between them, “We three have been entangled for too long. It’s ti to make a clean break and go our separate ways!”
“That’s exactly what I have in mind!”
Amanda paused, then directly proposed her condition, “We’ll cooperate. You get the blood diamond, and I get Oliver. You will divorce him!”
Divorce?
Was the woman scared by Julie’s words during the last phone call, that she would never divorce Oliver in this lifeti?
Wasn’t divorce what Julie had been trying so hard to achieve but failed so far?
“Fine, I’ll divorce him. However, if you can’t help
get the blood diamond, then I won’t make the deal. As long as I don’t agree to the divorce, this marriage can’t be dissolved!”
“Alright, there’s a direct flight to South Africa at seven in the morning tomorrow. If you’ve decided, just head straight to the airport. I’ll be waiting for you there. If you haven’t decided, you don’t need to reply to . When the ti cos, I’ll leave on my own. By then, both Oliver and the blood diamond will be mine!”
With that, Amanda turned around and left without looking back, her departure stirring up a gust of wind that caused Julie to shiver involuntarily.
After Amanda had left, Julie fell into deep thought.
When Ivy Aretha and Sienna asked who had co to visit her, Julie simply said that it was a friend who ca to see her, without giving further explanation.
However, during dinner, she sought out Ivy to ask her to help look after Roy while she was away. Unexpectedly, the following day, Ivy was abruptly awakened by Sienna.
“Sienna, what’s happening? Did sothing happen?”
“It’s a huge deal!” Sienna panted and said anxiously to Ivy, “Julie is missing…”
“What do you an by ‘missing’?”
Hearing this, Ivy’s face tensed, and an inexplicable image of the woman asking her to look after the child last night appeared in her mind. A sense of foreboding surged in her heart, “Don’t tell
that Julie just ran away from ho!”
“Wait, there’s more to this! The two children at ho are also missing!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Ivy jumped out of bed, “What do you an the children are missing? Bianca is missing?”
This thought barely crossed her mind, and she was already terrified.
“Yes, both Bianca and Roy are missing. Today is Saturday, so neither of them has to go to school. The servants said that they got up early in the morning and were playing on the swings in the courtyard before disappearing. I checked the surveillance, and I saw that they left less than ten minutes after Julie!”
At these words, Ivy’s face turned deathly pale. She got out of bed and dashed downstairs without even changing her clothes, and was nearly terrified into a fall if not for Sienna catching her.
“Hurry up and send soone to search for them!”
As she rushed to get dressed, she took out her phone to call Bianca, only to realize that Bianca didn’t have a phone of her own. She hadn’t given Bianca a phone because she was too young, fearing that it would only be a distraction.
“Ivy, don’t panic. I’ve already sent the bodyguards to look for them!”
Seeing how anxious Ivy was, Sienna was scared, especially since Ivy was pregnant. If anything happened, it would be a disaster.
“Ivy, do you have Roy’s phone number? I see him playing on his phone sotis!”
“Only Julie and Oliver have Roy’s number, and no one else has leaked it. I haven’t paid much attention and didn’t back up his phone number!”
As Ivy spoke, she considered calling Michael Gordon but stopped, rembering that they were all in danger in Africa. The thought still in her mind, Ivy hung up.
First, she sent all the bodyguards down in secret to search for the children.
Next, she called Mario Jensen to ask for his help. At his word, he sent people to seal off all exits from Andras City.
When Mario Jensen and Lina Miller arrived, Ivy was already panicking. Seeing the images from the security caras, she focused on the woman who had visited Julie the day before.
They reversed the footage from the reception room and played it on the big screen in the living room.
“Ivy, are you sure this person is a problem?”
“Yes, definitely. Yesterday, Julie t her, and they talked for a while. When we had dinner, she asked
to help take care of the child for her. At the ti, I didn’t think much of it, but when they disappeared today, I finally realized the connection. It seems that Julie sneaked out, and the children either followed her out of curiosity, or Roy followed because he’s attached to his mother, and Bianca followed Roy!”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to all checkpoints. Julie won’t be able to leave Andras City. Now I’ll send out this woman’s photo and make sure she can’t leave either!”
As Mario spoke, he sent the picture to his n. Suddenly, he thought of sothing, “Could Julie be secretly trying to find Oliver?”
Ivy’s heart skipped a beat, and then the mory of drawing straws yesterday ca back to her. Her expression froze, “It’s possible, but where would she go? We might have to call Michael.”
“Wife, do you miss ? Want to call
early in the morning?”
As Ivy was about to speak, a familiar and languid voice ca from the door. At that mont, it sounded like heavenly music to her ears!
