Chapter 1734 Help Me Up
"All right, let''s head back," Ste finally instructed the driver to leave once more.
On their way out, the assistant was somewhat puzzled. "Ste, was that Ms. Evans outside just now?"
Ste looked at her. "You must act as if you''ve seen nothing about this matter, and you can''t tell anyone."
The assistant became even more confused.
We just saw Cassandra outside a restaurant. Why do I have to pretend I didn''t see anything and can''t tell anyone about it?
Ste didn''t offer any exnation. Although she was aware that Cecilia was bound to face some kind of ordeal, she had no intention of sharing this with anyone.
Deep down, she still wished for Cecilia''s demise.
She resented Cecilia. Cecilia could have it all, while despite her own relentless efforts, she ended up with nothing.
She couldn''t ept that Cecilia''s fate was better than her own.
Only after Cecilia passed away could she finally find peace, marking the true end to everything.
Ste closed her eyes and dozed off into a light sleep.
At Jamieson Group, Scorpius passed by Cecilia''s office several times, but it was always empty. Even Cecilia''s assistant and secretary, who usually followed her around, were nowhere to be seen.
He asked a secretary, "Where''s Ms. Cecilia?"
The secretary hurriedly answered, "Ms. Cecilia received a call from Mr. Wacian. He mentioned wanting to discuss a potential coboration over a meal at a nearby restaurant, so she''s left already."
Mr. Wacian?
After some thought, Scorpius remembered how Wacian used to hold Cassandra
in high regard. Their rtionship had been particrly close.
What could have caused him to transfer his loyalty to Cecilia?
Scorpius felt an inexplicable unease. "Give me Mr. Wacian''s phone number."
"Sure."
The secretary did as told.
Scorpius made a call, but there was no answer on the other end.
Feeling that something was amiss, he asked the secretary again, "Which restaurant is Ms. Cecilia at?"
Noticing his anxious expression, the secretary promptly informed him of the restaurant''s location.
Without uttering another word, Scorpius immediately drove off.
However, he was ultimately toote. By the time he kicked open the door to the private room, there was no one inside.
He turned back to the restaurant
er and said, "If anything.
happens to our CEO, you can.l
your restaurant goodbye!"
Scorpius picked up his phone and contacted his subordinates through various channels, organizing them into groups to search for Cecilia.
At the hospital, Queenie had a nightmare. Once again, she dreamed of the scene from Cecilia''s
vel?
childhood when she was sent away by others.
She jolted awake, consumed by fear. Quickly, she grabbed her phone and dialed Cecilia''s number.
Usually, Cecilia would answer the call promptly, but that day, for some reason, there was no response from her end.
Queenie couldn''t help but feel anxious. She asked Caliste, "Why isn''t Ceci answering her phone? Did something happen?”
Caliste didn''t think too much about it. "She could be in a meeting. Don''t overthink
it."
But how could Queenie not overthink it?
"Maybe you should go to the office and take a look. I''ve been feeling uneasy all day."
"I''ll give Mr. Jiminez a call then. He''s at the office every day," Caliste replied before stepping out to make the call.
A few minutester, Caliste returned, looking worried. "Boss, something''s happened to Ms. Cecilia."
Struggling, Queenie managed to sit up from the bed.
"What happened to her?" Her heart tightened with concern.
Caliste ryed everything that Scorpius had said to Queenie.
Upon hearing it, Queenie was ovee with anxiety. "Quick, help me get down. I need to find Ceci."
"But your health-"
"I''m fine. Help me up!" Queenie was on the verge of tears.
She had nearly lost her daughter several times before. She absolutely couldn''t
afford to lose her again.
