Chapter 420

Nicole laughed bitterly. “I feel guilty for Soph as well. Soph and Mr. Harris found out in time but if they hadn’t and they were separated just like that, it might be... for the rest of their lives.”

Sterling kept his head low and remained silent. He could not help but feel upset about this.

“Nobody is right or wrong in this scenario, the only person to be blamed is Sylvia Yates. We can’t just blame each other for what happened and ignore the real culprit here.”

“The maids at home now are quite reliable, they can look after the kids now. Where’s Soph? I want to go see her and talk about this so we can get this over with.” Nicole stood up.

It would be a lie if she said she was not sad that she had lost her arm.

However, she knew that this was Sylvia’s fault, and she did not blame Sophia in any way.

“Now’s not a good time,” Sterling said.Sophia’s bodyguard told me that she’s not feeling well so she went back to Bamboo Virtues Village to rest.”

“Her bodyguard told you that? Did Soph not tell you that herself?” Nicole replied.

“Yeah.” Then, Sterling briefly went over what happened just now.

The more Nicole listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. “Soph attended a funeral with you and decided to leave without telling you.

Then, you tried calling her but nobody was picking up, and when you tried going after her, the bodyguards stopped you?”

Sterling nodded.

“Even if Soph didn’t have her phone, she could have at least given you a call when she got back to Bamboo Virtues Village, no?” Nicole was getting anxious at this point. “I think something’s wrong. We should head over to Bamboo Virtues Village now, and if Soph isn’t there, it’s time to call the police.”

She rushed over to the clothing stand and grabbed her coat as she spoke. Then, she proceeded to put on her coat very awkwardly as she tried to do everything single-handedly.

She had only lost her arm a few days now so she was still not used to doing things with just one hand, and in addition to how anxious she was right now, she could not even put on her coat.

Sterling finally realized that there was something odd, but at the same time, he did not want to think about the worst. He quickly helped her put on her coat.

“Maybe... Maybe Soph was so ill that she took some medicine as soon as she got back and fell asleep. That’s why she hasn’t been able to call me, right? It was Master Harris’ funeral, she can’t possibly be abducted in plain sight with so many people around, right?”

Now that Nicole finally had her coat on, she quickly grabbed her scarf and purse before she even buttoned her coat, and began urging Sterling to hurry up.

“Stop talking so much now, it doesn’t matter whether Soph was actually feeling unwell, we have to go over now. Go start the car now and I’ll call Mr.

Harris to see if he’s at Bamboo Virtues Village.”

Sterling was beginning to panic as well. He did not even reply to her and rushed out to start the car.

Hopefully, Soph was safe and nothing happened to her!

Nicole hurried upstairs to give her maids orders before running out of the house and got into the car where she quickly gave Charles a call.

However, nobody picked up.

He was not answering his phone!

What in the world was happening? Why were the two of them not picking up their phones?

Nicole’s face paled even more at every call, and when nobody picked up at the sixth call, she sent him a message.

[Hello Mr. Harris, this is Nicole White, please give me a call when you see this.]

Mr. Harris had always been extremely cautious and reliable, and Soph had a team of bodyguards with her. Everything should be fine...

No, the bodyguards were the ones who stopped Sterling though. Was it possible that something was wrong with the bodyguards or were Mr. Harris and Soph trying to get themselves some alone time together, and so they did not have their phones with them?

Nicole’s mind was a mess. On one hand, she trusted Charles’ capabilities, but on the other, she felt that even a wise man was bound to make mistakes. Anything could still happen.

When Charles still did not pick up his phone, she suddenly realized that she should try calling Sophia. Who knows, they might be overreacting!

However...

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off, please try again later. Sorry, the...”

All the blood drained from Nicole’s face.

She could still convince herself that there was a possibility that Soph might have fallen asleep if nobody picked up, but when Sterling tried calling earlier, he could still reach her phone. However, the phone was now switched off, was it possible that Sophia’s phone battery had died?

She did not believe such a coincidence!

Sophia did not bring her phone out this morning and fell asleep right after she got home so she did not hear her phone ringing, and now her phone was out of battery? There were so many coincidences that something must be wrong!

“What’s wrong?” Sterling turned around and immediately noticed how pale she looked, and he instantly felt much more worried.

As soon as the question came out of his mouth, an ambulance whizzed by in the emergency lane next to them. The ear-piercing ambulance alarm merely irritated the couple who were already restless in the first place.

“I think something must have happened...” Nicole really did not want to say that she thought that something must have happened to Soph, and she quickly rephrased her sentence. “Go faster, you still have two seconds of the green light, just hurry up and you’ll make it through!”

She tightened her grip around her phone as she urged Sterling, but it was no use for them to panic. The car in front of them had a learner’s permit sticker stuck on the rear window and it was moving at an extremely slow pace. Seeing that the light was close to turning red, the driver simply stopped the car.

“!” Nicole frowned deeply and looked at the emergency lane beside them. “Don’t wait for the car in front, just use the emergency lane and cut in!”

Recently, there had been a lot of traffic cameras newly installed in the area so nobody dared to violate the traffic rules and use the emergency lanes.

However, Sterling turned the car into the emergency lane without hesitation and sped down the road.

Soon after, a police car appeared behind them. Still, he simply ignored it and merely asked Nicole to hold on tight before he stepped on the accelerator, continue driving full speed ahead.

The guards on duty at the guardhouse at the entrance of Bamboo Virtues Village saw a car speeding in their direction, followed by a few police cars.

Worried that the car was in trouble, they quickly placed a spike strip across the entrance.

The people residing in this neighborhood were wealthy people, the consequences would be immeasurable if gangsters or burglars were to enter.

The Ferrari ran over the spike strip and four of its tires immediately deflated. The tires rubbed against the road and made a harsh, ear-piercing screech while the car made a 180-degree turn before finally coming to a stop.

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 419 Refuse To Give Up And Die Like This A few of the guards surrounded the car, armed with electric batons, and the police cars behind stopped as well. Like the guards, they surrounded the car.

Sterling had no choice but to get out of the car.

As soon as he showed his face, the security team immediately recognized him as the current president of White Corporation and realized that this was all a misunderstanding, and they left to put everything away.

However, Sterling could not deny that he had violated the traffic laws and used the emergency lane. Aside from that, it was already a trending topic on Weibo too. Although the police officers were courteous and polite, they had no choice but to follow the rules and revoke his driving license, as well as serving him several fines.

Nicole did not want to waste any more time, and so she asked one of the security guards to bring her to the manor on a motorcycle so she could check whether Sophia was at home. Sterling, however, had no choice but to stay and deal with the police officers’ standard procedures.

The sky had already turned dark, but there was not a glimmer of light in the manor.

Nicole had a feeling that something was truly wrong, but she still held on to a last straw of hope as she rang the manor’s doorbell.
