Chapter 201 She Is Missing!
T
At the same time, both David and Nash were struck by the same thought.
Why is Caroline pregnant? Could it be that, that night, another man entered the room, pretending to be the buyer, and took advantage of Caroline?
Before they could delve deeper into the thought, the sharp ring of a phone shattered the tense silence.
David pulled out his phone and pressed it to his ear. âHello.â
âMr. Ellison, thereâs a problem. Mrs. Ellison is missing!â
His brow furrowed. âMissing?â
âYes, weâve searched the entire Ellison residence, but Mrs. Ellison is nowhere to be foundâ¦â
âA bunch of useless fools!â David snapped. âThere are so many of you, and not one could keep an eye on her? What good are you? Find her! Check the security footage!â
Before leaving, he had explicitly told them not to let Caroline leave the residence, to keep a close eye on her
Yet, they still lost her!
âYes, Mr. Ellison, weâre already looking. We found a retractable ladder. From our initial assessment, Mrs. Ellison must have climbed down from the second floor, then⦠then ran offâ¦â
âThen send someone to chase her! Idiots!â
David was seething with anger.
At this critical moment, Caroline was only making things worse!
A pregnant woman climbing down from the second floor? Is she out of her mind? What if she slips or falls? She never gives me a moment of peace!
Davidâs expression darkened as he prepared to leave.
âIs Caroline missing?â Nash asked. âWhere could she have gone?â
âI donât know! But she wonât escape my grasp!â
No matter where she was, no matter how far, he would find her.
âDoes she know you came to find me? Mr. Ellison, did you two already argue about the child at home?â
It wasnât just an argument, it had been a fullâblown, disruptive fight for some time now.
David paused, glanced at Nash, and answered, âYes.â
Nashâs anxiety grew. âThen Caroline must have run away to find me. She thinks the child is mine, she wants to tell me, to stop you⦠But where is she now?â

Chapter 201 She Is Missing!
It was Nashâs phone.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Julia.
âHello, Julia,â he answered, trying to sound casual. âIâm at the office, howâ¦â
Finished.
Before he could finish, Juliaâs voice rushed into his ear. Iâm fine, Iâm okay. Nash, I love you. I need you so much. I canât live without you. My biggest dream is to wear a wedding dress for you and become your bride. No one loves you more than I do. Nash, only I think of you wholeheartedly, and Iâll do anything for you. Iâll remove every obstacle in your path. Only I should be by your side, no one else. Iâm doing this for your own good. Donât hate me, donât resent me⦠I know you canât bear to be cruel, but itâs okay, Iâll help you.â
Nash was confused. âJulia, what are you talking about?â
Thereâs a brief silence on the other end, followed by a muffled sound.
It sounded like someone was trying to speak, but their mouth was covered, unable to form words.
Nashâs heart skipped a beat, a terrible realization beginning to settle in.
Before he could process it, David strode over, snatched the phone from his hand, and put it on speaker.
