Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 229

Roxanne had an unnatural expression on her face. "I–I don't know. Haven't I told you? I only saw her get into a luxurious car looking ecstatic. As to what happened after that, my guess is just as good as yours!"

Just as she finished speaking, I clasped my hands around her neck.

"You better tell me the truth!"

Her eyes widened fearfully. "I–I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, go ask Felicia!"

At this point, even if she didn't tell the truth, I couldn't do anything about it. It's not like I could beat her up.

24 hours had passed without any contact with Felicia. Something must have happened.

I could not continue waiting. I immediately contacted Victor and Quintus, inviting them over to Imperia Manor to discuss our next step.

There weren't many people I could use in Welsington. Thankfully, Victor was a powerful man with many connections. With him present, there wouldn't be much of an issue looking into Felicia's whereabouts.

When we met up, I told him about how Felicia was missing.

He replied seriously, "If that's the case, there's a high chance that Ms. Cylon was deluded and had gotten kidnapped."

Quintus nodded and added, "Mr. Hart is right. Although you concealed your identity relatively well, there are still a few people in Welsington who are aware of your true identity. They've got the reckless bravery to scheme against you, perhaps to swindle some money out of you. In that case, Felicia would be the most suitable candidate to do so."

I inhaled sharply.

Had Felicia been kidnapped?

"William, I've been discharged from the hospital. I wanted to inform you about it so you wouldn't visit me at the hospital."

I was a little surprised. Guilt plagued me.

The first time we met, I told her I'd visit her every few days. I kept to that promise for a while. However, after her successful surgery, my visits became far and few between.

Recently, Felicia and I had been preoccupied with her mom's visit. Then, I had to deal with Crystal. Too many things had happened. I couldn't take time out of my busy schedule to visit her. At least ten days had passed since I last went to see her.

Yet, she had gotten discharged.

"Jane, do you have a place to stay after leaving the hospital?"
