Chapter 633
Lucas Lefèvre's hurried departure left Finn Deross scratching his head in frustration.
"Lucas!" Finn chased after him to the doorway. "What's so secretive?"
Without turning back, Lucas waved dismissively before speeding off in his car.
Finn looked like an abandoned puppy as he turned pitifully toward Vivian Laurent.
"Master..." He batted his eyelashes, dragging out the word.
Vivian shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.
"Stop looking at me like that." She took two steps sideways.
Finn immediately followed. "Just give me a tiny hint!"
"No." Vivian's tone brooked no argument.
Finn's shoulders slumped in defeat. Another failed mission from his uncle.
The sudden ringtone startled them both.
"Hey, Uncle Dom." Finn answered weakly.
"Any updates?" Dominic Atlante's voice came through the receiver.
"Master bought a property overseas." Finn whispered. "Said she's spending New Year's there."
A brief silence hung between them.
"Give me the address." Dominic demanded abruptly.
Finn scratched his head and recited the memorized location.
After hanging up, Dominic tapped his desk thoughtfully.
Vivian purchasing foreign real estate? That didn't sound like her.
Two days later.
Nathan Clementson stood in the hospital corridor taking Vivian's call.
"Bianca Semona?" He glanced around. "Haven't seen her in days."
Vivian frowned. "No disturbances?"
"None." Nathan confirmed. "She disappeared after collecting her mother's remains."
This was highly unusual. Vivian ended the call with growing unease.
Her phone rang again immediately.
"Vivi!" Fiona Grandelle's cheerful voice chirped. "I'm in Canada!"
Vivian nearly dropped her phone. "You're here?"
"Mmhm!" Fiona giggled. "I told you I'd visit."
Vivian's face lit up. "Come straight to my place! I'll summon Emily too."
"Actually..." Fiona hesitated. "Could...could Dr. Fairsprene join us?"
Vivian smirked knowingly. "Consider it done."
She immediately texted Emily Garnache and Ryan Fairsprene.
Emily replied instantly: "On my way!"
Thirty minutes later, Vivian and Emily waited eagerly at the villa's entrance.
"I'm so nervous!" Emily rubbed her hands together. "Wonder how she looks now."
A black sedan pulled up gracefully.
The door opened, revealing a girl in a baseball cap and face mask.
"Fifi!" Emily rushed forward for a bear hug.
Fiona staggered back two steps, laughing as she returned the embrace.
"Let me see!" Emily reached eagerly for the mask.
