The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 573

Percival immediately got in touch with Thomas. "We need to head to Sea City. Leopold's in trouble."

Thomas was in the midst of a routine drill at Vanguard Agency. Hearing Percival's words, his expression froze. "Husky checked in from a different location just this morning, and he replied to the roll call in the chat group ten minutes ago. There's no way something's happened."

To streamline operations, Vanguard Agency conducted random roll calls in their chat group, ensuring everyone checked in unless they were deep undercover like Vance.

Percival's brows furrowed.

Ten minutes ago was when Vivienne had made her first call.

If Leopold was replying to the roll call, he could not have missed Vivienne's call!

What on earth was going on?

Vivienne also sensed that something was amiss. It was unlike Leopold to drop off the radar.

Then, out of the blue, Charlotte Redwood, who had not been in touch for a while, called Vivienne.

"Things have hit the fan, Vivienne. Something happened to Griffin," Charlotte said, her voice laced with urgency.

"What's happened?" Vivienne asked, her face a mask of composure.

Leopold had been assigned to infiltrate the Martinez family. If Griffin was in trouble, too, it had to be connected.

Charlotte swallowed hard before replying, "Griffin's been locked up by her family. They won't let her communicate with anyone. If it was not for an old cell phone she found to contact me with, I'd have no clue she was in trouble."

Griffin was locked up?

Vivienne's brow creased. "Why would the Martinez family lock up Griffin? What's gone down?"
