The Divorcee Amazed the World

When Willis called,

Tanya, Susande’s grandmother, and Haden’s husband hadn’t slept yet. They lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, she heard the buzzing vibration of her phone, and she jolted.

Haden’s phone was charging on the TV cabinet in the living room.

She quickly put on some clothes and got out of bed.

Walking to the TV cabinet, she picked up the phone and checked it.

The screen displayed: Willis.

She reacted as if she had grabbed a hot potato, with a bang, she threw the phone on the floor.

The phone landed on the wooden floor but didn’t break.

It kept buzzing.

Tanya hurriedly bent down, picked up the phone from the floor, thinking of hanging up, feeling uneasy about it.

Turning it off seemed like acting guilty.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she reluctantly answered.

Willis’s indifferent voice came through the phone, “Old man, what happened to Helena today?”

Tanya paused for a moment, quickly organizing her words.

She spoke very gently, “Oh, it’s Willis. The old man went to bed a long time ago. Why did you call so late? Do you need something?”

In a commanding tone, Willis said, “Let Haden answer the phone.”

Tanya hesitated for a moment. “It’s late at night, he’s quite old, is it appropriate to wake him up?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Let him answer the phone,” Willis repeated, the tone firm, not allowing any refusal.

“Okay then.” Seeing that he wasn’t easy to dismiss, Tanya reluctantly walked into the bedroom.

She approached the bed.

Haden was sleeping soundly.

Snores echoed rhythmically.

“Old man, wake up,” Tanya shook his arm forcefully.

Haden slowly opened his sleepy eyes, looking at her with a bit of irritation, “What are you doing in the middle of the night? Can’t you let people sleep?”

Tanya handed him the phone, “Willis called. Answer it.”

Haden furrowed his brows, took the phone, held it to his ear, and grunted, “Willis, what’s the matter?”

“Helena is showing signs of a miscarriage, and she’s in the hospital now,” Willis’s voice was icy, like thin ice on a winter lake.

Cold and sharp, painfully cutting through the eardrums.

Haden’s heart skipped a beat.

His mind buzzed.

He quickly sat up, “What did you say? What happened to Helena?”

He could hardly believe what he heard.

“Helena is showing signs of a miscarriage, and she’s in the hospital for a threatened abortion. When I brought her to you this morning, she was fine. She had regular check-ups at the hospital, and everything was normal. Old Master Haden, I entrusted Helena to you with confidence, and you let her end up like this?”

Willis stared at the door of the operating room, his expression stern, a hint of a reddish glow in his eyes.

The hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

It was a mix of anger and worry.

Haden was dumbfounded.

The veins on his forehead throbbed.

He murmured, “When I left in the afternoon, she was fine. How could she have…”

Willis didn’t have the patience to listen to his rambling. He cut in, “I’m sending someone to your store now. Find someone to open the door.”

Haden hurriedly said, “I’ll go, I’ll go now.”

Willis ended the call and dialed his assistant.

Instructing him to go with others to check the surveillance.

The situation couldn’t be that simple.

Helena couldn’t have shown signs of a miscarriage for no reason.

Receiving the order, the assistant didn’t dare to delay, immediately calling for others, and they went together.

Heaven Longevity Pavilion was inside the antique market.

It was late at night, and the market’s main gate had long been closed.

When Haden arrived with his men and approached the market, he found someone from the market had opened the gate.

A group of people arrived.

Haden instructed his men to go with Willis’s subordinates to check the surveillance.

However, when they reached the second-floor control room, they discovered that all the surveillance in the store was malfunctioning. The machines had problems, and the surveillance couldn’t be accessed.

It was perfectly fine during the day, and the issues started after everyone had left in the afternoon.

This coincidence seemed a bit too much.

As if it were calculated to destroy evidence.

The assistant began to suspect that something was amiss.
