Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 176

I knew about Addrion's wife, a virtuous and resilient woman. She wouldn't falter just because Addrion This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

had gone silent for a while.

Their bond was strong, and they treated each other with deep respect. Addrion was incredibly caring,

and Tatyanna was remarkably attentive. Besides, Tatyanna's family lived out of town, so she counted a

lot on Addrion. I didn't believe that Tatyanna would change.

Just then, my phone rang. I quickly picked it up and saw Catherine's name on the screen.

I slid the screen to answer, and Catherine's voice came through, urgent and slightly gleeful. "Allie, you

won't believe what's happened."

Intrigued, I asked, "What's going on?"

"Marissa's kid is missing!" Catherine's voice carried a hint of malicious glee.

"What?" I exclaimed, turning to look at Ronan, who looked back at me in surprise. "When did it

happen?"

"Today! The news hit the internet around noon that Marissa's kid was missing. It's a total mess! Marissa

is freaking out and has called the cops. The whole town is searching for the kid." Catherine spoke so

fast, sounding like she was on a high. "The internet was buzzing about the Dawson family feud, and

now Marissa's kid has gone missing, so everyone's gossiping."

My mind was spinning. How could Marissa’s child just go missing? Who could do such a thing at this

time? What was their aim?

"Could the kid have wandered off while playing somewhere?" I mused aloud. "Marissa called me a

couple of hours ago and didn't mention anything about her child."

I thought back to Marissa's call. If she'd known her child was missing, she wouldn't have been so calm.

"It doesn't look like it," Catherine interrupted my thoughts. "Hold on. I'll send you a surveillance video."

I clicked on the link as soon as it came in.

The video showed Marissa's front door from a perspective I recognized. Logan had set up surveillance

cameras to keep an eye on her.

Suddenly, the door flew open, and Marissa came rushing out, phone in hand, frantically pressing the

elevator button.

There came her anxious voice. "You must explain to me. What the hell do you mean by my child is

missing? I entrusted you to take care of him. How could he just vanish?"

Next, Marissa stormed into the elevator. Her face looked distorted with fear and anger. When I saw

that, I realized someone must have hit her.

The elevator doors closed, and the camera shifted to a view of the building's entrance. It was clear as

Marissa rushed out of the elevator and dashed outside.

But the entrance was swarming with reporters. She was surrounded, yelling at them like a madwoman

to let her through. But they wouldn't budge, instead crowding around her even more.

Marissa fought her way through them like a wild animal, finally managing to hail a cab and get in. The

reporters scattered to follow the cab.

The video ended there, and Catherine called back. "See that? That's just one clip! The internet is

flooded with news about this. Apparently, Marissa has sent her kid to a summer camp, but he just

disappeared. No one saw him leave, and there was no note.It's all very strange, don't you think?"

"How could he just disappear?" I echoed her question.

"Exactly. The police are currently searching the building after the report, but chances of finding him

there are slim. It's more likely he was taken outside!" Catherine answered. Then, she asked, "When are

you coming back?"

"I'm not sure when I'll be returning!" I replied.

But Ronan gave me a meaningful look and said, "I think you'll need to head back to Goldenvale Town

soon."
