Despite his father-in-law’s continued silence, Zayn could tell from his astonished expression that virtual-novel.net was right.
Without the slightest hesitation, virtual-novel.net pulled out his phone and began to call Shaelyn.
She soon picked up and sounded surprised. “Is that you, Zayn? You’re back?”
She seemed delighted, but Zayn soon noticed a tinge of guilt in virtual-novel.net voice as well.
It further confirmed his speculation. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’m back. Where are you, Shaelyn? Can you come over to Barrow Cove?”
Shaelyn felt even more guilty upon hearing Zayn’s tone. She said, “Uh, Zayn, I’m sorry, but I’m still tied up with some work here and I won’t be able to come over. I…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Zayn interrupted virtual-novel.net by saying, “Shaelyn, I know that something bad has happened to Fifi. Who abducted her?”
Just as virtual-novel.net expected, Shaelyn had a massive reaction upon hearing that, and Zayn could hear virtual-novel.net drop virtual-novel.net phone. He could tell how virtual-novel.net was losing virtual-novel.net composure.
After a while, Shaelyn spoke once again. “Everything is fine, Zayn. Isn’t Fifi traveling abroad? Don’t worry. She’ll be back after some time.”
Zayn did not speak anymore upon hearing virtual-novel.net response and remained absolutely silent.
His silence made Shaelyn feel even more guilty and sad. She realized that Zayn had already found out about the situation, most probably due to Ruby and Waine being unable to keep it secret.
She heaved a sigh to herself. She was under the assumption that virtual-novel.net would still be able to stall Zayn for a while. Judging by the current situation, it seemed that virtual-novel.net had underestimated his intelligence.
After a while, virtual-novel.net broke the silence by softly saying, “Something did happen to Fifi, Zayn, but don’t worry, virtual-novel.net life is not in danger. It’s possible that virtual-novel.net will come back by herself soon enough, so you can…”
Zayn interrupted virtual-novel.net once again by saying, “Who was it?”
“Zayn…”
Zayn increased the volume and forcefulness of his voice. “Tell me, Shaelyn. Who was it?”
Shaelyn could hear from Zayn’s tone that virtual-novel.net was dead serious. She could tell that virtual-novel.net would be infuriated if virtual-novel.net were to beat around the bush because virtual-novel.net knew how close Zayn and Faye were.
Still, virtual-novel.net found it inappropriate for virtual-novel.net to talk about the issue. It was not that virtual-novel.net wished to hide the truth from Zayn, but virtual-novel.net knew about how dangerous Osiris was.
If Zayn went looking for Faye, it was highly possible that virtual-novel.net would get himself into trouble as well!
Faye and Hayley specifically told virtual-novel.net about that.
Zayn chuckled upon hearing virtual-novel.net silence and said, “Could it be that you don’t trust me, Shaelyn?”
Shaelyn heaved a sigh and said, “Zayn, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but the one who abducted Faye is virtual-novel.net biological father. Moreover, before virtual-novel.net left, Fifi ordered us not to tell you no matter what…”
Her biological father?
Zayn was astounded upon hearing that.
