Chapter 1586 Disappearance
After ending the call, Vinson returned to his room with a sullen look. When Arielle, who had just come out of the shower, noticed how gloomy he was, she asked anxiously, ‘‘What’s wrong?’‘
‘‘Sannie, I have to return to Chanaea at once,’‘ Vinson remarked as he began to pack.
The fact that he had to return to Chanaea was a testament to how grave the situation was. Otherwise, he would never go back without her. Hurrying up to his side to help him pack, she asked, ‘‘What happened?’‘
‘‘Mom has disappeared,’‘ Vinson answered solemnly.
‘‘What?’‘ Arielle had assumed something major had occurred at Nightshire Group and didn’t expect Susanne to have vanished. She instantly offered, ‘‘I’ll go with you.’‘
Just as she spoke, she began to pack her belongings.
However, Vinson stopped her.
‘‘You shouldn’t. This is a crucial time for Dad, after all. How is he going to manage without you?’‘ Vinson advised as he gazed into her eyes with both his hands placed on her shoulders.
Arielle’s expression darkened immediately.
Is he stopping me? There’s no way I’m staying here.
Previously, Susanne had objected to Vinson’s relationship with her. But after the former approved of her, she treated Arielle very well. As a result, Arielle couldn’t sit idly by and insist on going back with Vinson.
‘‘Vinson, I’m your wife. So your mom is my mom too. Now that she’s disappeared, do you think I can stay here in peace?’‘ With her eyebrows furrowed, Arielle gave Vinson a disapproving look.
Since the power struggle was a complex matter, going back to their country wasn’t going to make much of a difference. After all, she could still return to Turlen once Susanne was found. Besides, Harvey would be around to monitor the situation, keeping her informed of everything that was going on.
When Vinson saw how adamant Arielle was, he finally gave in.
‘‘In that case, let’s give Harvey a call and tell him to hold the fort. If anything happens, he must let us know right away.’‘
Vinson shared Arielle’s opinion of what to do. After nodding in agreement, Arielle continued packing their stuff while Vinson walked to the window to give Harvey a call.’‘
Meanwhile, Harvey’s gaze fell upon Sonia as he instructed, ‘‘You have to be more careful.’‘
He had just completed the formalities for her to be discharged and was taking her back to his apartment.
Worried that her mother would force her to get an abortion, Sonia wanted to stay in Harvey’s apartment together with Arielle. Her decision was music to Harvey’s ears and he readily agreed to it.
Sonia’s heart warmed when she saw how concerned Harvey was. After giving him an affectionate look, she grunted playfully. ‘‘I know.’‘
After spending a lot of time together over the last few days, her bond with Harvey had deepened significantly, causing her to grow increasingly cheerful in front of him.
Beaming at the cheeky look on her face, Harvey held her hands gently and pulled her into his embrace. A vibrant smile subsequently emerged on her face as she leaned blissfully in his arms.
All of a sudden, Harvey’s phone rang. He answered at once when he saw the caller ID.
‘‘Vin!’‘
‘‘Harvey, Sannie and I have to return to Chanaea urgently. So please monitor the situation in our absence,’‘ Vinson instructed.
