Chapter 667 Call From Quinn

“The day before Julius confronted his father… I tied it around his wrist. He didn’t know it wasn’t just a hair tie. It was also a tracking beacon,” Quinn said, her words arriving in broken

waves.

Fabian’s ears rang as though someone had fired a gun beside him.

“Are… Are you truly Mrs. Whitethorn?” he breathed.

“Yes, I’m Quinn Bridger. I survived. I need to reach Julius,” she said, every fragment of words stitched together with sheer will.

After a weighted pause, Fabian answered, “Forgive me, but until we verify your identity, I cannot connect you to Mr. Whitethorn. Tell me where you are. I will come in person.”

Quinn blinked, confused. “Why? Why can’t I speak to Julius? Is something wrong with him?”

“Everything will be explained once I see you. Rest assured, Mr. Whitethorn is healthy and safe,” Fabian replied.

A breath Quinn hadn’t realized she was holding slipped out of her chest.

No matter what else, Julius was alive–that was enough to steady her heart for now.

“All right. My friend will text you the coordinates,” she said.

Moments later, Megan relayed the address over the line, crisp and precise.

“We have trouble here. Please… come quickly–and bring backup,” Quinn urged before the connection faded.

Fabian’s voice came through the speaker, low yet decisive. After a quick glance at the world map pinned to his office wall, he said, “I will assemble a team and get there within forty–eight hours. You have my word.”

He lowered the phone. The screen went dark, but his pulse refused to calm. A restless tide rolled beneath his calm exterior, refusing to settle.

Is it real or nothing but smoke and mirrors? If it is a trap, what do they gain? Do they think I will not fly across the ocean to tear the disguise apart? And why Kandria? She vanished at sea. How did the current carry her to that restless country?

Uncertainties crowded his mind until they felt like iron weights hanging from each rib.

Fabian drew a steadying breath and pressed the familiar number. When the call connected, he spoke without preamble. “Mrs. Whitethorn contacted me just now.”

On the other end, Gavin was still half buried in the sheets after a night–long surgery. His voice slurred with exhaustion. “What Mrs. Whitethorn?”

“Quinn,” Fabian answered, letting the single name hang like a warning bell.

The name sliced through Gavin’s drowsiness. He shot upright, all traces of sleep gone as if adrenaline had flipped a hidden switch.

“You are telling me Quinn called you? Fabian, are you absolutely certain it was her?”

“Not entirely. The voice was raspy, nothing like Quinn’s, and she claimed to be in Kandria.”

Gavin fell silent for a beat. “Besides that, how confident are you that it really is her?”

“About seventy percent. She knows the red cord around Mr. Whitethorn’s wrist is actually a hair tie, and more importantly, that the cord hides a tracker.”

“Are

you flying over to get her?”

“Yes. I am drafting the travel list this morning. I will go myself and verify whether she is truly Mrs. Whitethorn.”

“Then I am coming with you.” Gavin hesitated, rubbing a hand over his eyes. “And… keep this from Julius. If she is not real, and his hopes flare again, even hypnosis may not save him.”

“Understood. Until I am certain, Mr. Whitethorn will hear nothing from me.”

No one in the Whitethorn residence could predict how Julius would react if Quinn’s name resurfaced.

If a spark of hope was lit only to be snuffed out by a liar, the fallout might be worse than the despair that buried him five years ago.

Fabian still remembered the madness that had devoured Julius back then. The mansion had

That memory was a nightmare none of them wished to revisit. Yet tonight, for the first time, the possibility of waking from it drifted in the air.

A crisp female voice cut through his thoughts from behind. “Mr. Wooley, did I hear you say you intend to keep certain things secret?”
