Ivanna Is Missing
I immediately felt flustered. It seemed like the more I feared, the more it came true. This was what I
was worried about the most, and now, it happened.
I clenched the phone and hurried to the beach to find As, urging him to book a flight back to
Foswood as soon as possible.
After hearing what happened, Asforted me and discussed it with my dad.
To ensure that Ava couldpletely forget the kidnapping, my parents would continue to stay on
Celestis Ind for some time. As arranged for someone to care for them. He and I flew back to
Foswood.
Before boarding the ne, I had Grayson check what had happened to Ivanna. Lauren had urged me
to return as soon as possible without exining the entire story. I had a feeling it wasn''t that simple.
On the ne, As reassured me repeatedly, saying he would have Dn investigate.
Wended in Foswood at 7 p.m. I quickly called Lauren.
She said she was waiting for us at the Vanderberg Pce.
As''s driver came to pick us up, and the car went straight to the tarmac, aiming to avoid external
disturbances as much as possible. Everything was done secretly, just like when we left.
In the car, As called Dn. Dn said they had already dispatched people to investigate and there
would be newster.
When we arrived at the Vanderberg Pce, Lauren had been waiting there for a long time.
She grabbed my hand as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. "Chlo, you''re finally
back!”
"What''s the matter?" I asked urgently. I had been restless the entire way here.
"Ivanna is definitely in trouble. I haven''t been able to reach her for two days." Lauren''s face was stern.
"What did Jared say?” I asked directly. "He should know the most about this!”
"He''s also looking into it now, but there’s still no news." Lauren shook her head helplessly, looking a bit
unsettled.
"How did you find out?" I asked while As furrowed his brows, not making anyments.
“It was 10 p.m. the night before yesterday. I called her, and we agreed to go shopping the next day.”
Lauren detailed the events, “I heard it was pretty noisy on her end, so I asked if she hadn''t gone home
yet. She said she was with some colleagues, so I didn''t ask further.

"But when I called her again the next day, her phone was off. I thought, since it was a day off, she
might have partied too hard and was sleeping in. So, I waited until noon and called her again, but even
by 3 p.m., her phone was still off.
“I felt uneasy. Ivanna is punctual, and she wouldn''t stand me up. That''s when I suspected that
something was wrong!"
Ivanna was indeed a very punctual person. Even if she couldn''t make it, she always had her phone on.
"Because it was a day off, 1 couldn''t contact her other friends. And you weren''t at home, soI called
Jared. He said nothing and just hung up. It''s been almost 48 hours, and I still haven''t heard anything.
Lauren''s lips were pale, and she added, “We can''t contact any of her other friends. But... now it''s
certain that something has happened!"
I picked up the phone, about to call Jared. As reached out and stopped my hand. “Don''t rush! Let me
handle it!”
"But Jared should at least give me an answer, right?" I looked at As sternly. "I told you, this was
bound to happen eventually!”
“Perhaps a third-party investigation would be more effective! Trust me, wait for Dn''s update,” As
said seriously. “Ask Jared. There are things he can''t say. Dn is investigating from Trinity''s side.”
I thought about it fora moment. As''s reasoning made sense. I exchanged nces with Lauren. She
looked at me with a slightly unsettled expression.
"But it''s been almost 48 hours!"
Suddenly, I remembered I had Ivanna''s keys with me. I quickly said to Lauren, “Let''s go back to
Amethyst
Apartments. I have Ivanna''s keys. Let''s go to her ce and check!”
