The Ex and Her Riches

Isaac hesitated, then sent someone to deliver Whitney’s belongings to her room before he explained the whole story to her.

When Charles jumped into the sea, all Isaac heard was the sound. He had no idea when Charles had jumped, let alone where Charles had been shot.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Newton. I was under anesthesia at that time. As for Mr. Newton… I’m not. sure about his condition.” Isaac lowered his head in frustration.

If he had been able to save Charles in time, everything would’ve been fine.

Whitney sat dazedly in the chair, completely at a loss.

She had thought that coming there would allow her to see the person she had been longing. for. Yet, reality dealt her a harsh blow. Not only did she not meet him, but his fate remained unknown to that day.

“Isaac, I want to go find him,” she said.

Seeing the red veins in Whitney’s eyes, Isaac knew she hadn’t been resting well the days.

“Mrs. Newton, now that Mr. Newton has gone missing, please stay here and rest. If you were to collapse again, I truly wouldn’t have the energy to cope.”

“All right.”

To avoid causing trouble for Isaac, Whitney had no choice but to sit down.

Whitney sat by the window, remaining there for a full three hours.

Her phone suddenly vibrated. She quickly unlocked the screen, only to find out that the message was just an entertainment news update.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, she tossed her phone aside. Suddenly, it occurred to her that she could reach out to her friends there.

Even a dragon would find it hard to control a snake in its old haunt. Whitney had a friend working there whom she hadn’t contacted in a long time. Although she was not sure if they still remembered her, it was worth giving it a try

After all, having someone familiar with Muprary assisting in the investigation would simplify things considerably.

Whitney quickly grabbed the phone she had tossed aside, found the person’s name, and dialed their number.
