Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331

“No! What’s up? What happened to her?”

Balfour didn’t answer. He thought for a while and asked again, “Ms. Blanchet, can you get in touch with your brother’s friend, Sophia?”

Veronica found their visit rather odd and sensed that something serious was going on. She pondered.

“Sophia did call me before looking for my brother, but I didn’t save her number. I’ll have to check if I still have it in my call history.”

Balfour nodded. “If you could, please check.”

“I found it; this is the number. What do you need Sophia for?”

Balfour didn’t have time to explain to Veronica. “Ms. Blanchet, Ellinor left on her own this afternoon; we can’t find her. I suspect Sophia took her. Could you help me call and ask if she knows where Ellinor is?”

What? Ellinor went missing?

Upon hearing this, Veronica was very anxious and immediately called Sophia.

The phone rang for a while before being answered.

“Hello? Veronica.” Sophia’s voice sounded choked up, as if she had just stopped crying.

Veronica asked, “Sophia, where are you?”

“I’m at a hotel; what’s up, Veronica? Any new developments about your brother? Theo’s not dead, is he?”

Veronica also hoped that her brother was okay, but…

“No, I’m calling to ask if you’ve seen Ellinor today. She’s missing!”

Sophia feigned surprise. “What? Ellinor is missing? I haven’t seen her. What happened? How could Ellinor go missing?”

“Balfour said that you might have taken Ellinor, so he asked me to call you. Are you sure you haven’t seen Ellinor? Ellinor is pregnant now; the child is the only thing we have left of my brother. She can’t have any problems. If you’ve seen Ellinor, you must tell me the truth!”

Sophia replied innocently, “Veronica, I’m telling the truth! I really haven’t seen Ellinor today.

Yes, I went to the Howard family’s home this afternoon to visit her, but the Howard family didn’t let me in, and Balfour even had me kicked out.

Then I saw the Howards take Ellinor to the hospital. I was worried about the baby, so I also went to the hospital, but Balfour stopped me again. I didn’t see Ellinor.

How could they suspect me of taking Ellinor away now? I don’t even know which ward Ellinor is in. If Balfour doesn’t trust me, he can check the hospital’s surveillance to see if I took Ellinor away. But the most important thing now is to find Ellinor as soon as possible!”

the After confirming that Sophia did not know where Ellinor was, Veronica was no longer in a mood to continue talking to Sophia. After hanging up phone, she questioned Balfour, “What’s going on? How did Ellinor end up at your place? And why did she go to the hospital? Has she given birth yet?”

Balfour shook his head and replied, “No, she just got a little distressed when she heard about your brother. She and the baby are fine, but she slipped away.”

Veronica became anxious. Her brother was already in trouble. If something happened to Ellinor, her grandparents would be devastated.

“What should we do now? Let’s call the police! We must find Ellinor; she can’t run into any trouble.”

Balfour remained calm. “Ms. Blanchet, could you give me Sophia’s number? I still have some questions for her.”
