About twenty minutes later—
"Mr. Bourne, I just contacted Mercy Hospital, and they told me that their surveillance system is under maintenance today, so there's no footage."
Hearing his subordinate's answer, Elijah frowned.
Was this a coincidence? Was there really no footage, or did someone purposely not want him to see it?
"Delete all news and pictures about this incident on the internet!" Elijah ordered.
"Alright, Mr. Bourne, I'll get right on it."
About an hour later, all information about Elijah's spending big bucks to find someone, as well as Makayla's photos, had been removed from the internet.
Violette was sleeping soundly, and if it weren't for her phone suddenly ringing, she definitely wouldn't have woken up.
Odette was frantically calling her, and her phone rang for over a minute before she picked it up.
"Hello..." As soon as she spoke, she yawned.
"Violette! Are you still sleeping? It's only seven in the evening, are you taking a nap?" Odette's sharp voice came through the phone.
Violette rubbed her groggy eyes and looked out the window.
"Odette, do you need something? If not, I'm going back to sleep. I'm so tired." Violette hugged her pillow, her voice sounding lazy.
"Didn't you sleep last night? What were you doing?! Weren't we supposed to go out for a big meal to celebrate your divorce? I've already booked the restaurant, and if you don't come, I'm gonna pack up all this food and bring it to your house! Send me your address!" Odette insisted.
"No... just send me the restaurant's address, and I'll go freshen up up and head over." Violette struggled to get out of bed.
"Weren't you just saying how tired you are? Let me pack up the food and bring it to you instead! I've stolen a good bottle of wine from my dad's cellar. I'll bring the wine over, and we can drink it next time we meet."
Violette immediately woke up.
If Odette's boyfriend wasn't Ramsey, she wouldn't be so afraid of Odette finding out about the kids.
