Chapter 965: Finally Knew It
He sat down in front of the computer desktop. He smoothly pulled Florence to sit on his lap and took her into his arms.
Since Florence only had Phoebe on her mind now, she couldn’t care less about Ernest's intimate actions. She stared impatiently at the computer as it started up.
It only took about ten seconds to start up, but at this moment, she felt it was too slow.
Ernest knew that Florence was in a hurry, so he did not delay anything. After turning on the computer, he immediately entered a series of complicated codes. Then, a black chat box appeared.
Florence had seen Ernest doing something similar in the past. At that time, the screen showed many people's video calls. She heard that those were Ernest's hidden forces.
She was not sure how powerful they exactly were. She only knew that they were almost omnipotent in terms of information.
They had the whole world in their pocket.
This time, Ernest should have activated them again.
Instead of a video screen, only a man's voice came from above the connection network this time.
“Sir, the Fraser’s mansion is now in a high-security state. Therefore, I can't access the video screen. I am sorry.”
Upon hearing these words, Florence was startled.
Could this man be a secret informer whom Ernest has planted in the Fraser's mansion?
She knew that Ernest’s informants were all over the world, but she did not expect him to plant one in the Fraser’s mansion. She wondered when he had planted it.
“I have planted it ever since the Fraser family found you.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Upon seeing the doubts of Florence, Ernest took the initiative to answer frankly.
“Although that is your home, the Fraser family is very large, and the forces are also intertwined. If I do not plant someone in it, I will worry about you.”
Perhaps Ernest was the only one who could explain ‘surveillance’ in such a righteous manner.
However, Florence did not feel a trace of irritation.
Ernest was always able to organize everything systematically. This matter was only one of them.
Due to that, he could still know about the situation of the Fraser family even when Florence was having difficulty connecting with Stanford and the others.
They could understand the big trouble now.
Florence nodded to him. “I know. Please ask about Phoebe’s situation.”
Ernest’s gaze on Florence suddenly became sultry.
“You only have eyes for Phoebe in your heart now, don’t you?”
Regarding Ernest planting informers, Florence did not even try to understand or complain about it. Without a word about it, she directly cared about Phoebe.
Ernest inexplicably felt a little jealous.
Florence looked at him with exasperation. She could not believe that he would be jealous of a woman.
Ernest was now getting more petty-minded than ever. Compared to Florence, he seemed more like a petty pregnant woman.
However, Florence would still pamper him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
“My heart and eyes are all about you.”
Such perfunctory words of love could still instantly make Ernest smile and be in a happy mood.
Only then did he turn to the computer and started to speak.
“Report on Phoebe Jenkins’ current situation in the Fraser’s mansion.”
It seemed like the person at the other end of the monitor had ignored Ernest and Florence’s dubious conversation just now. The person was not awkward at all.
He spoke politely.
“Phoebe Jenkins’ situation in the Fraser’s mansion is not good. She arrived just as the Turner family launched an attack. Alexander Fraser got injured in the assassination attempt. Besides, Helena Fraser took the opportunity to have her father arrange to spread rumours that Phoebe was the cause of the disaster, saying that she is a jinx.
“Due to Alexander’s critical injury, Victoria Wilson stays in the ward all day to watch over him. On the other hand, Stanford Fraser has taken over all the family’s affairs and is very busy. Therefore, it
also allowed people with a heart to spread rumours all over the family in about three days. Now, everyone in the Fraser family regards Phoebe as a jinx and is extraordinarily hostile towards her.”
“What?”
Florence almost jumped up in agitation, and her expression instantly darkened.
“How can they do this to Phoebe? The attack on the Fraser family has nothing to do with her at all.”
Florence was furious.
In hindsight, she finally understood why she felt strange looking at Phoebe when she was on the video call. However, Phoebe was smiling and covering up, so Florence could not be sure.
Without thinking, Florence knew what happened next.
Since Florence had asked Phoebe for help, Phoebe went to look for Stanford. However, the members of the Fraser family were quite unfriendly towards her now.
They made things difficult for Phoebe for a whole day.
During that time, when Phoebe talked to Florence, Phoebe even said with a smile that Stanford was too busy and asked Florence to wait.
In fact, this was not the case at all. Phoebe was being bullied the entire time.
Florence hated herself for not being able to react earlier and know sooner.
She asked anxiously, “Where is Phoebe now? How is she doing?”
At the other end of the screen, the man's voice sank, “Phoebe had gone missing two hours ago.”
Florence instantly stiffened, and she felt chilly all over.
Ernest’s face darkened, and he scolded.
“Clarify.”
He did not want to worry and fear Florence unnecessarily.
The man on the other end of the screen continued.
“In the afternoon, Phoebe went to the small building where Stanford lived. George Fraser tricked her into standing outside all afternoon. Later on, she rushed into the study. I don’t know exactly what happened inside, but she got tied up and brought out. Then, she got taken away by the loading truck from the side path.”
Tied up.
Got taken away by the loading truck.
Upon hearing these sensitive words, Florence's body tensed up even tighter. She felt a chill all over her body, and she was scared.
Now she knew why she could no longer contact Phoebe. It turned out that they dared to do something like this to Phoebe!
Not only was Phoebe Florence’s best friend, but she was also Stanford’s girlfriend. How dare they?
Florence’s eyes were almost red. “Where was she taken? Didn’t you guys look for it?”
“I am sorry, Miss Fraser. After all, we are only informants. Due to our secret identity, we could not take obvious actions, as people would be suspicious of us. Therefore, we dared not follow and
search publicly. We could only quietly mobilize people to investigate secretly. Our actions are also limited. Now, we have not found out the specific location where they had taken Phoebe to…”
If they had not found Phoebe, that meant she could be suffering from any kind of situation or injury. No one would know!
Florence was on the verge of losing her mind. She said agitatedly.
“At this point, let's not care about exposing your identity or not. Hurry to find Phoebe. We must find her and bring her back at all costs.”
“This…”
The person on the other end of the screen hesitated. He was in a dilemma. “Miss Fraser, you do not understand. We are only secret informants. Besides, the Fraser’s mansion was in a high-security state now. If we were to make any unusual movements, we would get caught immediately.”
In that case, before they could find Phoebe, all of them would be wiped out.
“What should we do, then? Are we just going to watch Phoebe in danger without knowing her situation?”
Florence was so anxious that she scratched her hair.
With the current situation, she was afraid that Stanford was so busy that he had no idea that Phoebe was in trouble.
