Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 332 Empty-handed

And so Amelia officially moved into the apartment that Kurt had purchased for her. She and Tiffany had offered to pay him back, knowing that the apartment, which was situated in one of the prime locations in the center of Beshya, must have cost the man millions at the very least. However, Kurt staunchly refused the offer whenever the topic came up. He repeatedly assured the two girls that the house was a gift and that money was not an issue.

It took some convincing, but Amelia and Tiffany eventually acquiesced and dropped the matter after realizing that Kurt had meant every word.

Meanwhile, Oscar was in the midst of tracking down his missing wife. Sitting behind the desk in his office, he steepled his fingers together as he waited for Hugo to report on the progress of the search. “Any news?”

The latter nodded. “I heard through the grapevine that Mrs. Hisson took a sudden trip to Beshya some time ago despite not having fully recovered from her illness, and she had kept the trip a secret from her husband. Apparently, it was to meet her son’s new girlfriend. I’ve gathered information on said girlfriend. The descriptions of her matched that of Tiffany. What’s more, following the trip, Mrs. Hisson has mentioned that she doesn’t like the prospect of having a novelist as her daughter-in-law. Hence, it’s highly likely that Derrick Hisson’s girlfriend and Tiffany Winters are one and the same. She’s currently staying in a villa owned by Derrick in Beshya.”

Oscar’s dark eyes drilled into the other man with laser-sharp focus. “Are your sources accurate?” There was an almost imperceptible tremor in his voice.

“Yes, sir.”

Unable to sit still for another second, Oscar leaped to his feet. “Book me the next flight to Beshya.”

Hugo was on it at once, fingers moving swiftly across the screen of his cell phone as he searched for the next available flight. Within minutes, the task was complete. “I’ve booked us tickets for a flight in two hours. Should we leave now?”

“Let’s go,” his boss said.

The duo took the elevator down to the lobby, where they bumped into none other than Isabella. Contempt flashed across Oscar’s eyes as he saw her coming toward them, but he managed to school his expression into one of cool apathy.

“Ignore her,” he told Hugo.

They walked past Isabella as if she was non-existent. Rather than taking the obvious hint, however, the latter was determined to make her presence known.
