Chapter 326 The Missing Child

Upon seeing her serious gaze, Melanie knew that Bella was mulling over Vania’s words.

So, she continued and said, “Vania always knew how to sway the public’s opinion and bend the truth to her suiting. I’ve already suffered numerous times thanks to her.”

“I just don’t understand what she meant.” Bella was still confused.

With a cold tone, Melanie looked warningly at Bella. “You don’t have to care about her words. If you do, then you have fallen into her trap.”

Bella frowned, as she was getting more clueless by the second.

Looking at Bella’s ignorance made Melanie a bit frustrated, so she rebuked, “Are you not trusting my words now?”

It was only then that Bella finally said, “That’s not it. Maybe, I’m just overthinking this.”

Even now, she still trusted Melanie deeply.

Yet, the thought of the failed plan today made her ask, “What do we do next?”

“Vania should be on alert lately, so we mustn’t make any moves. Otherwise, a slip from our side will spell our demise.”

Bella nodded before the thought of her own career hit her as she asked, “When will you reintroduce me back to the entertainment industry?”

Even though Melanie was mocking her inside, the words she spewed were otherwise. “You just need to listen to me. I will let you back into the industry as soon as possible. Actually, I had planned to let you see a director today.”

Her words made Bella nod obediently as Bella had fully trusted her at this point.

…

The next day at Galaxy Corporation.

Linda was reporting to Vania, stating, “This morning, a participant called Kiki had already awakened. After a full checkup, the doctor said that she was fine.”

Nodding, Vania pondered for a moment before asking, “Then, did she say anything?”

Linda replied honestly, “When she woke up, she only asked us what had happened. There were some contestants who went to visit her that told her what happened. She stopped asking questions after that.”

Vania nodded. “Quite sensible.”

Pointing to the computer, she continued, “You must be aware of what’s going on in the news. Do not allow any morsel of this incident to be leaked.”

“Don’t worry, Boss. I won’t let any rumors spread.”

After finishing her sentence, Linda went to Vania’s side and whispered to her ear, “Boss, we received an anonymous message today, stating that Little Miss is now in Hammond.”

The pen in Vania’s hand slammed onto the desk when she heard that.

In disbelief, she looked at her assistant. “Did you verify the source of the message?”

“The phone number had been canceled long ago. Besides that, someone already tampered with the telecommunication company, so we couldn’t trace who the user was. The most important thing is—we can’t judge the legitimacy of the content.”

If they weren’t able to trace the person, then this shouldn’t be Melanie’s doing. After all, she isn’t that capable.

Frowning, Vania replied, “No matter the authenticity of this matter, send some people to investigate this matter openly in the city. I want to see what this person’s aim is.”

Linda nodded before discussing the topic further, “Boss, do you think that this person really knows the location of Little Miss?”

Vania shook her head. Her mind was in a mess right now, and she could not figure out what the person’s intentions were.

Nevertheless, she still had a heavy heart, as she could feel that someone was operating a plan on a large scale behind her back. This is already not as simple as conducting human trafficking.

I think this might have something to do with Melanie.

What on earth did she do all those years back?

Suddenly, a thought struck Vania as she said to Linda, “I have something that I need you to investigate in secret.”
