Crises in Love novel Chapter 522

Camilla cast a doubtful gaze my way, and I could tell she was puzzled. We'd agreed that the kids would help guide the police, but I hadn't said as much.

I couldn't explain at the moment, particularly since I wasn't sure if the two little rascals were fibbing.

Monique nodded, "Alright, we'll be back soon!"

After saying that, she glanced at the lavish spread on the dining table, seemingly lost in thought. But the next second, she sighed, grabbed Probert by the arm, and said to me, "We're off then, Mom. Don't worry, we'll be right back!"

As they left the dining room, I turned to Hannah, "Hannah, shadow them. See what they're really up to."

Hannah arched an eyebrow at me, as though sizing up my intentions. I added, "And don't let them spot you!"

"Got it!" Hannah replied and promptly headed out.

Mom finally turned to me and asked, "Weren't they supposed to stick with the cops to look for Fidelia? Why'd you let them go?"

"I've got a hunch those two are holding back the full story. They might know where Fidelia is!" I confided in my mom.

"What? Do you really think they know where Fidelia is?" Camilla perked up, pressing me for answers, "How do you know?"

"It's just a guess," I quickly clarified.

"No wonder those two didn't seem concerned about Fidelia's whereabouts!" Camilla mumbled to herself.

I glanced at Camilla who had been paying attention to the kids' demeanor.

"Let's wait and see what Hannah reports when she gets back," I reassured everyone, hoping my suspicions were incorrect.

Truth be told, I wasn't confident and just had an instinct the kids were less than forthcoming. They couldn't possibly be indifferent to Fidelia's disappearance. Even Camilla had noticed their lack of inquiry about Fidelia.

It was out of character, especially for Monique. If something big went down, she'd be the first to spare no effort to get to the bottom of it. It didn't make sense for her to act that nonchalantly and claim to have tidied up some books with Probert.
