Chapter 128
Mrs. Archer said she was going to the restroom, but Dominic Archer waited and waited at the door, yet after twenty minutes, no one came out.
He immediately asked someone else to go into the women’s restroom to help him look, only to find that there was no one inside!
A living person disappeared right in front of Dominic Archer, leaving him completely flustered.
After reporting to the police, The Grants also received the news.
Thus, Theodore Grant dispatched Austin Grant to handle the matter.
Mrs. Archer is a long-standing member of The Grant Family and a confidante of Old Madam Grant, so The Grant Family is taking this matter very seriously.
Vivian Sinclair also didn’t leave but waited outside the surveillance room for a while.
Dominic Archer came out angrily clenching his fists and said, “Now, from the surveillance, someone stuffed my mom into a suitcase and took her away! Damn it, what are they up to? Who are these people p>
“My mom is not young anymore, she cannot endure such torments. Could it be like Old Madam, even if found, she p>
Vivian Sinclair shook her head, “Let’s hear what the police have to say p>
Austin Grant followed the police out.
Though young, he engaged with the police politely and thoroughly: “Please, officers, no matter the cost or work involved, The Grant Family is willing to cooperate p>
Police: “Right now, we suspect this might also be Dylan Drexler’s doing p>
“Does The Grant Family have something this person really wants to obtain p>
Austin Grant shook his head, somewhat bewildered: “I’m not too clear about family matters. However, Mrs. Archer was my grandmother’s confidante during her lifetime, and she knows many of my grandmother’s affairs p>
“This time, my grandmother was kidnapped; it seems the kidnappers didn’t get what they wanted, so perhaps they’ve now turned their attention to Mrs. Archer p>
After recording, the police nodded: “If that’s the case, we ask that The Grant Family ensures proper security measures. We police will also send personnel to patrol around your area; perhaps following the trail we can catch this person, and at that time, we truly need The Grant Family’s cooperation p>
Once the police left, Austin Grant looked at Vivian Sinclair and nodded slightly: “Sister-in-law p>
“Accept my condolences p>
Vivian Sinclair: “I have already divorced your brother, you can call me Miss Sinclair p>
Austin Grant looked somewhat surprised, “I truly didn’t know about this matter. My apologies, Miss Sinclair p>
Vivian Sinclair left with Dominic Archer; Austin Grant watched until she completely disappeared from sight, then a touch of regret appeared in his eyes.
He returned upstairs to report Mrs. Archer’s situation to Theodore Grant and casually mentioned Vivian Sinclair.
“Dad, it seems big brother and sister-in-law… are already divorced, did you know p>
Theodore Grant paused while rubbing his temple.
“Already divorced p>
“How is that possible p>
“Grandmother just mentioned briefly this morning, saying if Vivian Sinclair wanted her freedom, I should let her go… but didn’t say they were already divorced p>
“Unacceptable! She carries The Grant Family’s lineage, this matter absolutely cannot be left for them to mess around with p>
Due to severe injuries and overwhelming grief, Austin Grant had already returned to the ward.
Theodore Grant personally went to the ward to find him, only to see Zoe Monroe leaning into Austin Grant’s embrace, crying sorrowfully.
“I don’t agree, Austin p>
“I don’t agree with breaking up p>
“You clearly said you would love me forever, how can you just say you don’t want me anymore p>
“The one who loves me is you, and now the one who doesn’t love me is you too p>
“Austin… I’m begging you, don’t be so heartless p>
“Why suddenly separate from me, I beg you not to be so cruel, okay p>
Theodore Grant didn’t immediately push open the room door but stood at the doorway listening.
Austin Grant endured the pain from Zoe Monroe pressing on his wound, gently patting her.
“Alright, Zoe p>
“Let’s just consider that I’ve wronged you p>
“Now, with grandmother just passed and The Grant Family surrounded by chaos with so many issues p>
“Dad is ill because of my anger, and I’ve also ended up in this state p>
“I truly don’t have the energy to think about love affairs; I must stabilize my marriage, even if it’s for The Grant Family, I have no choice but to do this p>
“As for you, you’ll forever remain as the most special existence in my heart, okay p>
Austin Grant gently tucked the stray hair behind Zoe Monroe’s ear.
Yet his attitude was already firm; no matter how Zoe Monroe cried pitifully or pleaded with him, he didn’t waver from his steadfast decision.
He was eager to quickly sever the emotions that should have ended long ago.
Wanting to convey his stance to Vivian Sinclair.
Seeing him like this, Theodore Grant outside the door quietly nodded.
As long as Austin Grant could soberly sever ties with this ill-fated romance, then there is hope.
Only Austin Grant curled his lip, a flash of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
After Theodore Grant left, Zoe Monroe cried softly and asked, “What if… I told you I’m pregnant p>
Vivian Sinclair went to see Teacher Tris.
But, after several days, there was still no sign of him waking up.
Summer Dunn happened to be at the hospital too, so she took a walk in the garden with Vivian Sinclair.
“The doctor said if Dad doesn’t wake up soon… there’s a possibility he could become a vegetative state p>
“But I believe Dad won’t just fall like that, don’t you think p>
Summer Dunn couldn’t hold back and collapsed in Vivian’s arms, crying.
Vivian Sinclair comforted her for a while before Summer gradually regained her composure, “Sorry, I’ve been too tense these days p>
“Fighting a divorce case while managing work. Dad’s situation makes me really cautious, so I’ve been a bit exhausted p>
“My outburst just now… didn’t scare you, did it p>
Vivian Sinclair shook her head, “Summer, if I can be your confidant and help you feel a little better, it’s my honor p>
“Moreover, I should also share the burden of Teacher’s situation p>
“From now on, leave the matter of Teacher to me. I’ll arrange someone to come every day. You can visit when you’re free, and if not, someone will update you on his status, how about that p>
“Oh, you mentioned you’re fighting a divorce case; I remember your husband is from Stellara p>
Summer Dunn’s husband is just like Austin Grant; both obsessed with their first love to an insane degree.
Summer accidentally discovered she was a stand-in, and in anger, took the child and filed for divorce, now with her father lying in the hospital, she’s really struggling.
As they were talking, Vivian Sinclair received a call from Dominic Archer.
Vivian Sinclair stood up and walked aside, “Is it possible there’s already news about your mother so soon p>
Dominic Archer: “No, Miss Sinclair, it’s about that matter, it should have fooled them p>
Vivian Sinclair raised an eyebrow, “So quickly p>
She had recently assigned Dominic Archer a task.
Which was to seize the opportunity to tinker with Zoe Monroe’s situation, causing her body to show some abnormalities.
Has there been a reaction so quickly?
Dominic Archer: “I got someone inside her favorite cafe, each time she orders, they’ll add some substance p>
“Now her period should be delayed, and the blood test results are sufficient to mislead the doctor’s judgment p>
Vivian Sinclair: “Ten days earlier than I planned and expected. If during this period she goes for a gestational sac check and finds there’s nothing in her belly, this matter won’t be concealed for long p>
Dominic Archer reassured her, “You can rest assured p>
“Zoe Monroe’s attending doctor happens to be my classmate, and I’ve spoken to her already. She told Zoe Monroe it’s still early at four weeks, and it’s necessary to wait until seven or eight weeks for tests on the gestational sac and heart pulse p>
At this time, this will be enough to drive Zoe Monroe mad!
Oh Zoe Monroe, you want me, Vivian Sinclair, to be a surrogate mother for you and carry a child on your behalf; why not experience the joy of an impending motherhood yourself?
Make sure not to disappoint her, seize the opportunity to completely pull Austin Grant’s heart over, so he will readily get a divorce certificate with her.
Before hanging up the phone, Vivian Sinclair asked Dominic Archer, “You’re helping me so diligently; I will settle your accounts. But if you ever gamble again, no matter what you do, I will turn ruthless and unfeeling, hope you remember that p>
Dominic Archer hurriedly pledged loyalty, “You can trust me, since I chose to follow you, I’ll always listen to you p>
“Moreover, I’m just a family doctor at The Grant family, it’s more valuable following you, you’ve been really good to me p>
“Just… could I beg you, use your connections to save my mother p>
“Last time it was you who saved Old Madam Grant, wasn’t it p>
Vivian Sinclair dared not claim credit, “I didn’t bring back Old Madam Grant p>
“Everything was a coincidence, I was just trying to save my life p>
However, when Vivian Sinclair remembered that key, maybe only Mrs. Archer knew what it was.
Vivian Sinclair wanted to get to the bottom of this, so she did not refuse Dominic Archer’s plea, “I will see to it p>
After hanging up the phone, Summer Dunn happened to receive an urgent call and had to leave.
Vivian Sinclair could only bid her a hasty farewell, but they agreed on the next meeting time.
Vivian Sinclair returned to Crestfall Villa carrying a box.
Though that night, she received a call from Jasmine saying that something happened at The Grant family.
The villa where Old Madam Grant lived was burglarized.
The entire wall in the bedroom was blown up, the safe violently damaged but could not be opened.
Eventually, the fully equipped thieves destroyed most of The Grant family’s garden and, upon fleeing The Grant family, were chased by the alerted police and The Grant family’s bodyguards.
Two people were shot dead on the spot.
However, Dylan Drexler still escaped.
The next day, a woman’s corpse was found in the river on the outskirts of Ardis.
