Chapter 189

Everheart residence.

Renee was sitting beside a window on the second floor. She had been staring out of the window for a long time, but she had not seen Margaret at all.

She took out her phone and tried calling Margaret again, but her call still could not get through.

“That’s weird. It’s getting dark. Why isn’t Margaret back yet? Where is she?”

When she woke up this morning, Renee saw a note Margaret left on the dining table, saying that she was going to take care of some personal matters and would be back soon. She told Renee not to worry.

But an entire day had passed and Margaret still had not come home. She could not even be contacted. Something was wrong!

Renee was worried that Margaret might have ran into trouble. Considering her recent situation, there were many people who

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Renee could not sit still any longer. She grabbed a jacket and went out to look for Margaret.
