Facing Jeremy and Madeline’s doubts, Daniel frowned. He seemed to look troubled.
“When I was going to pick up Ava from work yesterday evening, I ran into an old woman who had trouble walking. She was separated from virtual-novel.net family. I figured that since it was still early, I would send virtual-novel.net home, but who knew virtual-novel.net home was so far away?”
“When I wanted to tell Ava, I realized that I had lost my phone. There were no cars where the old woman lived, so I had to wait until this morning.”
Daniel frowned again. “I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Gina was surprised after hearing what Daniel said. “Dan, did you… Weren’t you with that Ava last night?”
“No…”
Gina had an embarrassed look on virtual-novel.net face. She felt slightly embarrassed when virtual-novel.net recalled what virtual-novel.net said about Ava not long ago. She even thought that Ava was deliberately making something unnecessarily complicated, but it turned out that Ava really had no idea where Daniel had gone.
“This is bad.” Madeline’s heartstrings tightened, and virtual-novel.net whole body became tense. She stepped aside and dialed Ava’s phone number, but still, no one answered.
Daniel felt curious when virtual-novel.net saw that. “What’s wrong? What do you mean by bad?”
“Someone sent messages to Ava while pretending to be you, and my wife also received an extortion message. All signs indicated that you, Daniel, might have been kidnapped. Ava suspected that the mastermind behind your kidnapping was Naya’s mother. She probably went to find Naya’s mother because virtual-novel.net was worried about you, but now, we can’t reach Ava.” Jeremy told Daniel the whole story.
After hearing this, Daniel’s expression turned solemn. He habitually wanted to take out his phone to call Ava, but when virtual-novel.net touched his empty pocket, virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net had lost his phone. However, it did not seem that his phone was lost accidentally. Otherwise, how could someone send messages while pretending to be him?
“I’m going to the Mendez family’s manor now to see if Ava is there,” Daniel said and strode toward the door.
Gina grabbed him. “Dan, are you crazy? What will the Mendez family think if you just go there and demand Ava from them? Also, what do they mean when they said you were kidnapped and went missing? What nonsense is this? How could Naya’s mother do something like that? Besides, aren’t you fine and well?”
“What’s more, their precious daughter has already gone to prison. You’re more or less related to this. If you go to them now, aren’t you just asking for trouble? Listen to me and don’t go.”
Gina repeatedly discouraged him. Of course, virtual-novel.net did not care whether something bad had happened to Ava. However, Daniel’s attitude was firm. “I have to make this trip.”
“Sigh, Dan!” Before Gina could stop virtual-novel.net again, Daniel broke free of virtual-novel.net grip and went out the door.
Madeline and Jeremy followed suit.
“What’s this all about? There’s endless drama every day. Aren’t you just trying to let that woman marry into our family? How annoying!” Gina complained in dissatisfaction and plopped down on the sofa.
She thought about it, and finally, virtual-novel.net picked up virtual-novel.net phone to call Esther. However, even though the call went through, no one answered. Gina did not want to call again, so virtual-novel.net stopped caring about this. In virtual-novel.net opinion, nothing was going on. It was all a scheme that Ava deliberately created in order to marry Daniel.
It was now noon. In the dilapidated building that was waiting to be demolished…
