Chapter 89
Dr. Archer nervously blocked Vivian Sinclair.
“Is it, is it Mr. Ethan p>
The burly man seated in the passenger seat glared at him fiercely: “If it’s not our boss, who else could it be p>
“Hurry up, if you don’t get in the car now, we won’t guarantee that the person you’re looking for will still be intact by the time you arrive p>
Vivian Sinclair hesitated no longer and got into the car.
Dr. Archer nervously rubbed his hands, seeing that she’d gotten in, the two bodyguards followed, and despite his tension and hesitation, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and climbed in after them.
There wasn’t any strange smell inside the car.
The person in front started the car smoothly and then drove silently ahead.
And Vivian Sinclair’s phone rang again at this moment.
It was Elias Sinclair again.
Vivian Sinclair didn’t expect Elias to be here tonight.
What shocked Vivian even more was that he would come looking for her.
But since they had fallen out, and she had put it behind her, Vivian no longer wanted to get entangled.
Moreover, tonight’s matters could not be interrupted.
However, Elias’s call kept coming through, and after hanging up three times, Vivian decisively blocked all of Elias’s contacts.
On the other end, Elias realized the phone couldn’t connect and guessed that Vivian had blocked him.
Then he found out that his WeChat, text messages, and all other contacts had been deleted by her.
He was so angry he almost crushed his phone.
Beside him, Harvey Holloway suggested, “Should I… give Miss Sinclair a call p>
The call quickly connected.
Harvey’s eyes brightened instantly: “Hello? Sis-in-law, it’s Harvey Holloway p>
“Did you come to Umbra today p>
“I’m here with your brother at a p>
’Beep, beep, beep p>
The awkward busy tone informed Harvey that he was blocked too.
Harvey felt quite regretful and looked at Elias with resentment: “President Sinclair, it seems Miss Sinclair really doesn’t welcome you as her brother p>
“I think I better inform Grant the Second about this matter p>
Harvey said as he moved aside to notify Austin Grant via text.
“Grant the Second, I just saw sis-in-law p>
Austin Grant immediately called back.
Elias pressed against his throbbing forehead, his heart filled with uncontrollable anger.
Good, very good, Vivian Sinclair!
Now she dares to play this trick on him?
He never expected that the once dependent, unsuccessful pampered girl had now developed this kind of temper!
Since she left the Sinclair Family in a huff last time, Elias had realized she had gained her own temper and independent thoughts.
Who would have thought it had only been a few days?
She had already become so reckless!
If he didn’t find her in Ardis today, he wouldn’t be Elias Sinclair!
Elias opened his phone and found a contact: “Hello? Nate Blackwood, help me find someone p>
Meanwhile, Julian Thorne had just returned to Crestfall Villa.
Louie drove the car away, Truman stepped forward to greet him and said, “Sir, Miss insists on waiting for you and Miss Sinclair to return before dining together tonight p>
Julian’s steps halted: “Vivian Sinclair hasn’t come back yet p>
He raised his wrist to check the time.
It was already nine o’clock.
Could it be that she wasn’t planning to return to Crestfall Villa tonight?
A young pregnant woman, busy running around all day, it was hard on her.
Julian was not inclined to pursue the matter.
Even though he had paid a hundred million, Vivian was still free in his view.
Truman: “Yes, it seems Miss Sinclair doesn’t intend to come back tonight p>
Right after he spoke, Leo Linden’s call came through.
“Master Julian, someone from the West Side just sent me a photo p>
“They mentioned hearing that the Crown Prince from the Sinclair Family was looking for his sister at the underground casino p>
This was usually an ordinary occurrence, but recently Julian had instructed to keep a close watch on the underground business on the West Side, so encountering the Sinclair Family was considered big news.
That’s why the matter was reported to Leo Linden.
Upon hearing Sinclair Family, sister?
Leo had a bad premonition, given that Miss Sinclair also belonged to the Sinclair Family.
Leo didn’t dare to delay, and immediately reported the situation to Julian Thorne.
Once the photo was sent over, Julian immediately recognized the Sinclair Family’s promising young Mr. Sinclair Jr., Elias Sinclair.
Julian’s steps had already stopped, “The Sinclair Family has two daughters. Are we sure which one it is p>
Leo: “We have to wait a bit longer to be sure p>
The information was soon delivered, “Master Julian, the real Sinclair heiress is currently in the Sinclair Family, and hasn’t gone out today p>
So, Elias was indeed looking for Vivian Sinclair?
What was Vivian doing at the West Side’s underground casino?
As Julian had just stepped into the foyer, upon hearing this he immediately turned sternly and quickly headed out again, instructing Truman: “Have Louie bring King Kamal over p>
Julian hung up the phone and dialed Vivian p>
However, Vivian’s phone was already turned off.
Julian’s face darkened abruptly, covered like a layer of frost, the cold intent in his eyes almost spilling over.
Reckless audacity!
Did she still remember she was pregnant?
Before getting into the car, Julian had already learned that Vivian left the Thorne Family today and went directly to the teahouse.
Soon, Julian received Patrick Powell’s call.
“Hello, who is this p>
Patrick’s voice sounded somewhat nervous, as if he was already waiting for someone’s call.
Julian: “It’s me, Julian Thorne p>
On the other side, Patrick was stunned into silence for a while.
Since meeting Julian, Patrick had recognized his identity.
Knowing he was an exceptional person, and the attitude towards the boss seemed unusual.
So Patrick Powell’s tone immediately became a bit more respectful, “Hello, President Thorne p>
“Are you looking for the boss p>
Julian Thorne got straight to the point, “Why is Vivian Sinclair at the underground casino in the western part of the city? Tell me p>
Patrick Powell didn’t want Vivian Sinclair to be in trouble, and in fact, he had been worried all day at the teahouse.
Now that someone was willing to help Vivian Sinclair, he had no hesitation in revealing the matter, “It’s Jasmine. That young girl from last time, she’s gone missing in the west of the city p>
“The boss cares a lot about this girl, so she’ll definitely bring her back p>
“Dr. Archer pulled some strings for her, and I think that’s why they’re at that underground casino p>
Julian Thorne hung up the phone, and immediately called Leo Linden, “No matter the cost, you must find Vivian Sinclair p>
South Ardis, Phoenixia Club.
Vivian Sinclair handed over her phone.
Her body was scanned for any other electronic devices.
Only then was she allowed into the opulent and extraordinarily luxurious club before her.
She had heard of this place before, known for its variety of entertaining distractions.
But Elias Sinclair had warned her that this place was mixed with all sorts, it was fun, but also very dangerous.
Furthermore, the club’s business dealings weren’t very clean, so Elias Sinclair would not allow Vivian Sinclair to come here with others for fun.
Vivian Sinclair had no interest in such places, even when coaxed by former friends, she had never been here.
The owner behind this club is a Mr. Drexler, who has some background in Ardis, so the authorities haven’t moved against him.
Unexpectedly, she still came here one day.
And it was this place that Jasmine had been taken from.
Upon entering the club, the lavish decor made even Dr. Archer keep looking around in amazement, clicking his tongue in wonder.
Vivian Sinclair, however, grew more anxious with each step.
Because she heard many screams coming from the rooms.
There were men’s, and there were women’s screams.
Of course, some rooms had sounds of laughter and merriment, but Vivian Sinclair occasionally caught sight of unpleasant scenes in rooms not fully closed.
Women trampled on the ground.
Men beaten black and blue p>
Then Vivian Sinclair and her companions were taken to an incredibly luxurious entertainment room.
One of Ethan’s men negotiated a bit, “Our boss called, this lady is here to take someone p>
Vivian Sinclair sat quietly on the sofa, looking over there.
“Of course, our Mr. Drexler will give Mr. Ethan some face p>
“But there’s a bit of trouble p>
After a while of muttering, Ethan’s subordinate came back to report, “Miss Sinclair, they can release the person, but they said they can only release the little girl p>
“The other person you’re asking for, they can’t release p>
So Jasmine can be exchanged for her, but not Old Tanner?
Upon hearing this, Vivian Sinclair remained calm, “Can I make a call to your boss p>
The brawny man hesitated for a moment, thinking, what could a little girl do at this point?
So he helped her make the call.
Vivian Sinclair took the phone, “Mr. Ethan? May I ask, can my painting also be given to you with only half completed p>
“I don’t know if it’s because these people won’t show you respect, or if your men are incompetent p>
“It seems we can’t resolve this matter pleasantly today p>
The brawny man’s face changed dramatically, and he snatched the phone away.
“You p>
“You’re a vile woman, how dare you make trouble for me right to my face, are you looking for death p>
Infuriated, the brawny man raised his hand intending to teach Vivian Sinclair a lesson, but the two big men she brought today weren’t just sitting ducks.
Seeing the situation turn, they swiftly stepped in, blocking the brawny man and pushing him back forcefully.
“What do you think you’re doing p>
The brawny man’s accomplices immediately converged upon them.
“What do you think you’re doing p>
The atmosphere was tense as both sides prepared for a confrontation, and the group who had just caused trouble watched the scene with glee.
Until Vivian Sinclair stood up herself and broke the deadlock, “Wasn’t I stating the truth p>
“They disregard Mr. Ethan’s face, and you’re gloating here, thinking they respect you and Mr. Ethan p>
“If they never agreed in the first place, why bring me here p>
“Since we came here, but then they say no, isn’t it just playing tricks or realizing only now it’s impossible p>
“You brainless fool with only well-developed limbs p>
“It’s absurd Mr. Ethan entrusted such an important task to you, yet you botched it and have the nerve to be enraged p>
“I think you should stop working for Mr. Ethan, go home, and farm, raise pigs, and maybe nourish your brain p>
Vivian Sinclair said all this without any fluctuation in her tone, as if she was merely recounting a common affair.
Her slew of insults left the brawny man heaving with ’huff huff’ breaths, almost choking with rage.
“You p>
His face muscles twitched uncontrollably.
Until his partner gave him a tug.
“Stop you-ing, the phone’s still connected p>
The brawny man suddenly trembling, then cradled the phone in both hands, on the verge of tears, “Boss p>
Ethan said something unknown, and the brawny man hung up the phone, weeping.
Then he dared not look Vivian Sinclair in the eye, wiped his tears, and turned back with a fierce look on his face, walking away proudly.
“Dare you play tricks on me p>
“Our boss clearly said he would let go of your Drexler family’s setup during the last land grab in the east, as long as you release the people, it would all be erased, and yet you dare go back on your word p>
The brawny man stormed out in anger, while the two lanky men who came with them glanced repeatedly at Vivian Sinclair in surprise.
Both men were secretly shocked.
Just who is this Miss Sinclair, that she commands such respect?
Can make the boss put aside such a big grudge with the Drexler family just to help her get two people?
The situation turned suddenly.
Mr. Drexler even made a call over.
Shortly after, Jasmine was brought in first.
She was pushed into the room, stumbling onto the floor in disarray.
Vivian Sinclair glared coldly at the other party, then called out, “Jasmine p>
