Chapter 435
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Thus, Francine took her phone out and dialed Stefanâs personal number. â Iâd like to ask Stef about the entire situation. I really donât believe that the girl would be so insolent!â
However, it turned out that she couldnât reach Stefan as well. Not even Elijah knew about his whereabouts.
âThatâs weird, why canât I reach him? That kidâs usually at work at this hour, and H Group is facing quite a lot of challenging matters that require his attention. Where has he run off to?â Francineâs face was painted with concern as she realized the severity of the situation.
After that, she contacted everyone she could, trying her best to find Stefan, only to find that they were looking for the man as well.
âWhy canât I contact that child? Did something happen to him?â Francine seemed uneasy.
Lately, H Group was gaining quite a lot of traction, as they were about to mass produce their new smartphone model, the ME2350. Once they successfully signed a contract with KCL Group, the entire technology industry would be entering a new era.
If the plan went smoothly, the industry would face a complete cleanse, with many of their rivals going out of business. In the next ten to twenty years, H Group would be on the absolute top, with an unreachable position in the field.
Yet, Stefan went missing just as he was supposed to sign this important contract with KCL Groupâ¦
âCould it be that their opponents are trying to take revenge, so that they could stop this project?!â
That assumption made Francine very frightened. She knew about the horrors and cruelty of the business world more than anyone, as that was exactly how she lost Tristan.
âNo, letâs call the police. Stef has to be safe⦠he has to!â Francine trembled as she punched in the numbers, her eyes reddening.
She only had two sons after all, and she viewed them more important than her own life. If she lost Stefan too, she simply had no reason to live on.
âMiss Francine, donât panic just yet. Stef is a strong man, so he shouldnât be in danger. If I had to guess⦠Could it be that he went looking for Miss Everheart? They argued a lot on the way to the cemetery after all. So maybe he was regretting his actions, and wanted to ask for her forgiveness. They might be together right now,â Briar said in a kind voice.
âThe cemetery?â Francine was suddenly reminded of something. âStef ran out as soon as I mentioned the cemetary last night. Did he really go looking forthat girl?â
âI heard Miss Everheart fell down a cliff around the cemetery and hurt herself. Maybe she knows about Stefanâs current condition.â
âWhat are we waiting forthen? Which hospital is she at right now? We have to find Stefan!â Francine rushed out without any hesitation, not even taking anything with her.
After taking a few steps, she returned and grabbed the bouquet of lilies that Edith had previously made.
âI was going to give this to her anyway. Letâs go!â
Briar followed her, grinning slyly as if her scheme had worked. Hmph, Iâd like to see how youâre going to get out of this one, Everheart!â
