Chapter 1288
Byran frowned. “What’s going on? Ellinor’s missing?”
*Can’t say for sure yet. I’m gonna look around nearby. If she comes back, call me right away”
With that, Bartlett hurriedly turned around and stepped back into the elevator
Byran was lost.
Just out of the shower, Ida, clad in a robe, came out of the bathroom. “Who was that?”
Byran filled her in.
After hearing this, Ida’s brows furrowed. She went back to her room and dialed her boss’s number on her phone.
However, the phone was turned off.
Something didn’t feel right, so she quickly changed into some clothes from her closet
Byran noticed Ida’s anxious demeanor, so he asked, “Ida, are you going out to look for Ellinor too?”
As she was changing, Ida replied, “Yeah, you should go home.”
Byran shook his head, frowning. “No, I’m going with you.”
Ida didn’t want to drag this troublesome guy along, but she didn’t have time to fuss about it now. After changing, she called Chase while grabbing her car keys and quickly rushing out the door.
Byran put on his coat and followed her out.
The three of them drove around the streets for a long time, but there was no sign of Ellinor. Her phone was off and unreachable.
Ida, Chase, and Bartlett were all on edge, they were about to call the police.
But since she had been missing for less than 48 hours, it was useless to report this to the police.
Ida parked the car at a wide intersection. “We’re near your house, you can get off and go home.”
Byran checked the time, it was indeed late.
If he didn’t go home now, his brother would soon send someone to fetch him.
Thinking about this, he didn’t insist on being stubborn anymore. “Alright! Ida, if you find Ellinor, you have to let me know.”
“Sure.”
Ida nodded.
Byran got out of the car, waved at Ida, and walked home alone.
As soon as he entered the house, Carlos rushed up and said, “Byran, why are you coming home so late again? If Balfour sees this, he’s going to be angry!”
Byran felt a bit guilty. “Where’s my brother? I only went out after finishing my homework, so he shouldn’t be too mad, right?”
Carlos pointed to the half-cup of coffee on the living room table. “Mr. Howard was sitting there waiting for you just now. He didn’t look happy, I thought you were in for it today.”
After looking at the living room, Byran swallowed nervously. “Where is my brother now?”
Carlos exhaled and said, “He’s upstairs chatting with a guest. Luckily, he went out for a bit and brought a guest back, which diverted his attention, or else you’d be in serious trouble.”
After hearing this, Byran also sighed in relief. “We have a guest? Who is it?”
Who would come to see his brother? Who was this guest that was allowed to go upstairs and chat with Balfour?
Carlos shook his head. “I didn’t see; I only heard from the maids that Mr. Howard brought a girl upstairs.”
A girl?
His brother actually invited a girl home? That was rare.
