“Why did she suddenly want to drink wine?” Rodney asked puzzledly.
The housekeeper thought about it for a moment. ” She was already quite unhappy as she was staying home every day. She was playing on her phone this evening. Then, she went back to her room. After that, I accidentally saw her crying…”
Phone?
Rodney frowned. Could Sarah have seen the trending news that he and Mireya were about to get married?
He had a feeling of helplessness in his heart. He rubbed his brows and said, “You can go out first. “
After the housekeeper left, Rodney walked to the bedside.
Sarah looked at him with reddened eyes. Her gaze seemed unfocused. “Give me some wine. Let me be drunk. Living is just too tiring.”
” Sarah, don’ t be like this.” Rodney did not know how to console her.
“Rodney, is that you?” Sarah cocked her head to the side. “Am I dreaming? Haha. How can you possibly be here? You should be accompanying your wife and child.”
Tears flowed as she spoke, “Actually, I’m really envious. I’m jealous of Mireya and Cate. Which part of me isn’t good enough compared to them? I just want to have simple happiness too. When I was young, my mom passed away. My dad married my stepmother soon after that. I know that she liked Charity more, so… I tried hard to be obedient and lived cautiously. I clearly knew that my brother wasn’t reliable. I clearly understood that… He did many unforgivable things. But I had no choice. I only have my brother. I don’t have anybody else…
“Uhhh… I just want a man who loves me. I want a family. Why is it so hard…
“I’m like a mouse that can only hide in the corner forever. I feel disgusted with myself.”
Sarah slapped herself hard. Rodney’s throat felt bitter.
“Sarah, don’t be like this. ” He quickly pulled her hand. “Listen to me. I’ll protect you.”
” I’m so, so tired. Sometimes, I feel like it’s better to die rather than continue living.” Sarah flung herself into Rodney’s embrace and started wailing.
Facing Sarah, who was crying, Rodney could not push her away at all.
That was Rodney’s first time seeing Sarah this way. Maybe this was Sarah’s true self.
Late into the night.
When Mireya heard the sound of the door opening downstairs, she glanced at her phone. It was already 2:00 a.m.
Rodney had stayed in that condominium until 2:00 a.m.
Ha.
Mireya closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
20 minutes later, Rodney lay down beside her lightly.
Mireya noticed that Rodney was having trouble falling asleep. He kept tossing and turning.
Although he did it lightly, she still noticed it because she could not sleep too.
She thought about many things in her head.
The night had never felt so long before.
In the morning, she acted as if she was waking up from her sleep.
Rodney got up too. His eyes were red. “Wifey, I’m sorry. I had some urgent matters yesterday. Was the movie… nice?”
“Have you taken care of the problem?” Mireya asked calmly, “What happened to the company?”
“Oh, a fire broke out at a small company that I invested in previously.” Rodney had already thought of an excuse.
“Really? Where is it?”
” In the north of the city.” Rodney was afraid that she would keep asking. He quickly yawned. “I’m going to sleep a little more.”
He did not know how complicated and full of disappointment Mireya’s gaze was when he turned to his side.
She thought she was already numb. However, she still found it ridiculous every time Rodney lied.
He could even lie about fires now?
Mireya had the urge to drag him off the bed and expose his lies to make him feel humiliated and embarrassed. Then, she would shed all pretenses and divorce him.
However, she could not do that. They still had a child together.
Mireya could not alarm him. What if he let Sarah escape beforehand?
As Mireya changed her clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror. She recalled how reckless she used to be in the past. She did everything solely based on her passion.
That was because her parents and her brother had pampered her ever since she was young.
After leaving her family and entering society, she had experienced harsh lessons one after another.
She did not understand what she was lacking.
Maybe someone like her should not have put too much importance on relationships.
While Rodney was still sleeping at home, Mireya drove the car and went out.
On the way, she gave Cate a call. “Go to a place with me. I’ll pick you up in half an hour.”
When the car arrived at the Lyons family’s manor, Cate quickly got in. She was stunned when she saw Mireya’s bloodshot eyes. “Did you not get any sleep last night? You want me to go somewhere with you. Could it be Rodney— “
“He stayed at this location until 2:00 a.m. last night. I’ve already searched it up. It’s a condominium.” Mireya tossed her phone to Cate. “He told me that a fire occurred at one of the companies he invested in. He immediately left me alone in the cinema and went over. I’m not too sure whether Sarah is hiding there or not, but we can go over to have a look.”
“Okay. Let’s go and have a look. If it’s not Sarah, at least we wouldn’t have caused unnecessary alarm.” Cate glanced at Mireya worriedly as she spoke, ” Look at the state you’re in. Let me drive. You can take a rest.”
“I won’t be able to fall asleep even if I rest. I’ll think about nonsensical things instead.” Mireya started the car.
Upon hearing that, Cate could not say anything else. It required about an hour to get to that place.
Within that hour, Cate had already contacted Elle of Liona. Elle investigated the matter quickly.” The condominium was built by Glory Properties three years ago. There are three shareholders in Glory Properties, Frankie Hayes, Zac Lawrence, and Rory Wooten.”
“Rory Wooten?” Mireya frowned. “I think I’ve heard of that name before. Oh, some time back… Rodney said he was going to a meal to celebrate his friend’s birthday. That friend’s name is Rory Wooten.”
After she spoke, her heart felt even colder. “Could Rodney be using his friend’s house as a cover to hide a woman?”
Cate did not reply to Mireya. She asked Elle, “
When you were searching for Sarah before, have you checked this area?”
Elle hesitated for a moment and said, “That’s an expensive neighborhood. Many of the owners are Canberra’s noblemen who are using the houses as a n investment. When we were conducting our investigation, the management of the neighborhood said the residents were complaining. Afterward, Snowden’s members came and said they were familiar with that area. Therefore, we handed that area to Snowden’s men. They said there were no signs of Sarah there.”
She added after pausing for a moment, “Moreover, we didn’t think Sarah would be staying there back then. After all, a social security card is required for registration. Therefore, we prioritized older houses more.”
Cate understood.
She had asked Shaun about it before. She had her suspicions when she heard that Rodney had become the person in charge of Snowden.
She did not expect that her suspicions were about to become real.
“Elle, bring some people over and wait secretly near the condominium. Don’t tell Shaun about this for now, and don’t let Snowden’s people find out too. Also, investigate which units belong to Rory Wooten.”
After Cate hung up the call, Mireya’s face had gotten paler. “Is Sarah really inside?”
“There’s a 5o percent chance.” Cate nodded. ” Your tracker only detected that Rodney was in this condominium last night. It couldn’t detect the exact unit number. We’ll have to investigate it.”
Mireya nodded. She was still confused and at a loss.
She could not understand why Rodney was hiding Sarah. Did he love her that much?
When Cate and Mireya arrived below the condominium, Elle had found out the units under Rory’s name. However, the entire l9th and 20th floors were his.
