Chapter 410

Elena looked down, trying to sound normal. “Wesley, I’m calling you because I need to ask you about something.”

A call to Wesley already caused Anna to be in a state of panic. Elena wanted to cut the chase and get to the main point. “Do you have an aunt from the De Laski tribe living in Ritchfield and is proficient in voodoo craft?”

“Yes.” Wesley nodded. He instinctively frowned and asked in a worried tone, “Why are you asking about this? Are you ill?”

Elena explained, “It’s not me. It’s my boss. She’s looking for someone who knows voodoo craft from the De Laski tribe. Wesley, can you introduce her to me? It’s not something illegal or evil. My boss needs help from the De Laski tribe to save her grandfather.”

Wesley immediately agreed, “Okay. Where are you now? I’ll go look for you.” Elena was stunned for a moment. She quickly turned down his offer. “It’s all right. There’s no need for you to come over. You can just give me your aunt’s phone number. I’ll call her myself.”

Wesley frowned. “Elena, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

“I…” Elena wanted to explain, but Wesley refused to accept no for an answer. “My aunt’s character is rather strange. You can’t look for her yourself. She won’t help you if I don’t come along. Didn’t you need her help to save someone? This is a matter of life and death. We can’t afford to take any risks.”

Elena sighed. “Okay then. I’ll have to trouble you. But what about Anna? Can she manage by herself?”

Wesley did not want to give Anna any chance to refuse his offer. “There are servants at home. Don’t worry about her. Where are you now? Give me the address.”

Hearing this, Elena turned to look at Olivia.

Olivia nodded.

Elena then gave Wesley the address of the Smith family’s villa.

After hanging up the phone, Elena sighed deeply, sounding as if she had just fought a hard battle.

She then caught sight of Olivia looking at her through the rearview mirror. Elena stuck out her tongue sheepishly. “Miss Taylor, I must have embarrassed myself in front of you. My relationship with Wesley is a little complicated.” If not for Isaac, Elena would probably not have contacted Wesley for the rest of her life. Since they had nothing to do during the drive, Elena started to tell Olivia about. Wesley.
