By the time Zorion woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. He was probably too tired and had fallen asleep as soon as he lay down on the couch.
When he opened his eyes, Zorion turned on his cell phone and saw that Rossie had indeed sent him a text message. However, it was a picture of her and Logan. There was a huge field behind her. It couldn't be identified, but he could roughly tell that it was in Waverly Village.
Zorion sat up and called Rossie. However, she did not answer and texted him instead.
"I did not see anyone, but I heard a woman's voice. She's in a house." With that, she did not say anything else. Zorion immediately stood up and brought his men over to search for field pasture in the picture.
As soon as Zorion arrived at Waverly Village, he realized that there were a lot of wooden houses and that they all seemed identical. It would take time for him to find the correct house. In the end, he had no choice but to call Rossie for help.
He made another call, but no one answered.
He even texted her but was met with no reply.
Zorion stood at the intersection. His men exchanged glances. No one dared to say anything.
"Let's try to find it ourselves, but be careful not to alarm those around," Zorion ordered. At eleven at night, he received Rossie's reply.
"I fell asleep. I did hear a girl talking. I went to the place to try to find the girl earlier, but I heard that she had been taken away by someone named Jacky. I can't describe his features for you. I'll try to find a picture of him."
"Can we switch to a video call?" Zorion made his way back to the car and turned on the car headlights. However, Rossie refused to turn on her camera.
"I was sleeping. I'm still in bed."
"Turn on your camera."
Zorion had already switched to a video call, but Rossie refused to turn on her camera.
"I really am in bed."
"With whom?"
Rossie was rendered speechless. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Turn on the camera, and the truth will be revealed." Zorion gripped his phone and was somewhat impatient. He unbuttoned the top two buttons on his shirt.
The driver could barely look at Zorion.
The young master was seething, the chauffeur thought. Was he going to kill someone?
Rossie found it rather laughable. "You've gone too far. I'm in bed! How can I let you see me in bed?"
"Why not? Are you afraid? My men searched through the area, and they couldn't find the house you mentioned. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Are you doubting me?"
"What do you think?"
In the midst of the silence, Rossie finally turned on the camera. However, Zorion could not see anything as it was too dark from her side. He could only observe that the screen was wobbling.
Zorion was still dissatisfied and he ordered, "Turn on the lights. I want to have a look."
"You..."
After a moment of silence, Rossie got out of bed, turned the lights on, and found a place to sit. When Zorion finally saw her face, he immediately calmed down. Then, he instructed, "Let's head home."
The driver immediately started the car. Rossie, who was on the other end, stared at Zorion, who was enveloped in darkness. She did not ask for anything. She was so sleepy. "I'm going back to bed."
"No, you can sleep right where you are."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm not."
