Chapter 282 – Ch. 282 Kris’s Suspicion

Kristopher relentlessly called Roxy’s phone in vain, and his heart started to feel worried. In the end, he contacted his twin sister and told her about his dilemma.

“What do you mean Miss Zouch is gone?”

“She isn’t gone. I just said I couldn’t reach her, and I’m still stuck on this damn the same trail. It’s been hours, and I’m still not moving.”

“She should be home by now, right? You said she could go home on her own.”

“And she also said she’d tell me when she got home.”

“It’s not like you’re her lover.”

“Seriously?”

Aubrey laughed out loud at the worried tone mixed with anger from her brother. “Uuuu… Someone is in a bad mood.”

“I’m gonna strangle you to death.”

“Is that something you should say to your dear sister?”

“My sister won’t mock me and help me out of the dead.”

“Oh, please. Mr. Black won’t kill you even if Miss Kaylee isn’t home. Maybe she stopped by a clothing store and went shopping with her friends.”

“…” Kris was in a lousy mood to respond to his sister’s conclusion.

“Fine. I will go to Mr. Black to make sure she’s there. It just so happened that Lydia and I were shopping near her house.”

Kris ended the call without giving any response to his sister. He truly wished Kaylee Zouch had arrived at his master’s house. He only felt calm when he received news from his sister.

For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy. He felt there was something strange about this traffic jam and congested. He heard there was an accident far ahead, but no further action from the police made him curious.

He got out of the car and walked forward as the other motorists did. But they did not encounter any accidents other than a line of cars waiting in line like giant snakes.

Some of the people who got off decided to go back to their respective cars because they didn’t want to go too far, but Kris decided to keep going.

He remembered that a few blocks away, there was a traffic light making him wonder where the accident was.

He kept walking to find out, and the further he went, the more unsettled he felt. And as he feared. He didn’t encounter any accidents along this road until he ended up at a turn where there was a traffic light.

Kris looked at the traffic light, which had stopped at a red light without changing for ten minutes, and he felt that something was wrong.

He immediately contacted his men to trace the position of his master’s wife only to get a report that the girl’s phone could not be traced.

He quickly dispatched the team to go to a road that Roxy might be traveling on, but as he feared, his team members couldn’t break through the heavy traffic with their transportations. They could only walk or take a helicopter, but it was too late.

They wouldn’t be able to get to Kaylee’s position on foot and attract unwanted attention if they took a helicopter. Plus, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to track down Roxy’s car even if they tried to find her from above.

Neither could he take a taxi, because almost all the taxis had been stuck in this traffic jam. Kris had also tried taking the subway, but strangely, all train activities were suddenly stopped.

That’s why Kris could only go back to his car and call his sister. He hoped his master’s wife had arrived at Declan’s house safely.

He was eager to report to Declan, but he was afraid that the man would act rashly and use the Eagle Eye again. Or worst, he’s going to get engineering technicians to speed up the God eyes project and launch hundreds of millions of dollars worth of rocket.

When Declan activated the Eagle Eye for the first time to search for Miss Kaylee when Osbert kidnaped her, the military backed by Alvianc started to sniff out Declan’s expertise.

And recently, they found a spy in the God Eyes project and got rid of them. He didn’t know who these spies worked for, but they were sure there was a high chance that this top-secret project had been leaked to a third party.

Declan was indeed a thoughtful and careful person in making a decision. He always thinks two to three steps ahead before acting. But somehow, whenever something concerned Miss Zouch’s safety, the man became reckless and irrational.

Kris admired Declan because he had nothing to fear. Declan was known as a dauntless, domineering and unwavering man. But apparently, he was wrong. Kaylee Zouch… no. Roxanne Zouch was Declan’s kryptonite.

“Hhhhh…” Kris took a deep breath as he struggled with whether he should report to Declan or not.

No. Kris would wait for news of his sister first. Who knew Roxy was too tired and decided to take a nap as soon as she got home that she forgot to tell him.

Kris didn’t want to give unnecessary worry to his master. He would wait a little bit longer.

In the meantime, Aubrey accompanied Lydia to pay for her bought things at the cashier.

“Are these things enough? You don’t want to buy more?”

“No. I can’t bring all of this. And besides, we can always buy things once we’ve arrived.”

“That’s true.”

Lydia decided to buy a suitcase and some warm clothes for her grandmother before they left for Europe in a few days.

“Lydia, can we stop by somewhere after this? I want to make sure your friend is home.”

“My friend? Which one?” Lydia had many clients but only a few friends. The only friend she could talk to without being cautious was Kaylee Zouch.

“Of course, Ro… I mean, Kaylee Zouch. She just took Mister Black to the airport, and now my master wants to make sure his wife is home safely.”

Lydia smiled at that. “Mr. Black literally doted on her. Miss Kaylee is lucky.”

“Or it’s the other way around,” Aubrey murmured in a whisper-like voice.

Aubrey knew how Declan lived his life before he met his fiance. And she was sure that Declan felt he was lucky to have met Roxy.

By the time they arrived at Declan’s penthouse, there was no sign of Roxy’s existence.
