After seizing the phone, Lady Wilson attempted to call Hannah, but she was met with the same notification once again.


    In a state of bewilderment, she eximed, “What’s wrong? Why has she turned her phone off?”


    “Mom, it’s actually quitemon for phones to shut down when the battery dies. Plus, she’s out and about, so charging her phone might not be easy,” Christopher exined gently.


    Frustrated, Lady Wilson tossed the phone back to him and snapped, “Then keep trying until you get through!”


    With a sigh, Christopher sank onto the couch, repeatedly dialing and hanging up.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This went on for half an hour, yet he still couldn’t reach her.


    As he prepared to call her yet again, a sense of unease washed over him. Something didn’t feel right about their ns…


    Logically, the mahjong scam that Hannah and Linda had orchestrated was supposed to take ce indoors, not outside. Charging a phone shouldn’t have been a significant issue.


    Moreover, he had reminded her time and again to keep in touch, so he could rush to her aid if needed.


    It was simply impossible for her to turn off her phone without any warning.


    What could possibly be happening?


    As his thoughts spiraled, he sat up straight, furrowing his brow and murmuring, “Something’s not right…”


    Lady Wilson shot him a sidelong nce and demanded, “Cut the act. What on earth is going on?”


    Feeling as though he had stumbled into a tangled mess, Christopher became increasingly uneasy and irritable. He looked at his mother and said, “Mom, please, just stay out of this for now. I can’t reach Hannah, so I’ll try calling someone else to see if they’re with her.”


    Next, he searched for Linda’s number and dialed.


    To his dismay, the same automated message yed: her phone was switched off too.


    He then tried calling Hudson and Gianna, only to receive the same frustrating oue…


    This was bizarre! What on earth was happening?!


    Christopher felt utterly confused and agitated!


    He ran a hand through his hair in distress, the ominous feeling in his gut intensifying.


    Lady Wilson observed her son with growing concern. Gradually, she began to sense that he was genuinely troubled, and it dawned on her that something must have gone awry!


    She straightened up and urgently inquired, “Chris, what’s going on? You need to tell me!”


    Christopher shook his head in confusion and muttered, “I don’t know what’s happening…”


    “Then why do you look so anxious? Why hasn’t Hannah reached out? What are you not telling me?”


    After a brief hesitation, Christopher took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and replied, “Mom, I need to be honest with you. Hannah actually set a trap for ine today. She hired a con artist to y mahjong with ine to swindle her out of money and Charlie’s vi. Once the bank repossesses our house, you can finally move into the Thompson First vi you’ve always dreamed of!”<fne480> Th?s chapter is updated by </fne480>


    Lady Wilson’s eyes widened in excitement as she eximed, “So, did Hannah manage to get the vi? When can I move in?”
