Fortunately, the man did pick up the call, and his tone sounded fine.
Wendy then inhaled deeply before saying, “Mr. Janaway, I can't contact my mother. You're in Horington, right? Could you help me look for her?”
“Do you mean Mrs. Greene...”
Although Eskild Janaway no longer worked for the Greenes and had a small business of his own, he still paid attention to the Greene family's matters.
Furthermore, the news of Cecilia being a drug addict and working at a karaoke bar was all over the internet. Even if he did not pay attention to the Greenes anymore, he would still learn about it.
Eskild then hesitantly asked, “Ms. Greene, where are you right now? Why don’t you know what happened to Mrs. Greene?”
The bad feeling in Wendy's heart intensified as she hastily asked, “What happened to my mother?”
“Your mother, she...”
Unable to say the words out loud,
Eskild steeled himself and said, “You'll know when you check it online!”
That made Wendy's heart sink. What happened? What could it be that even Mr. Janaway can't bring himself to say it?
As she had been on a tight budget recently, she had not used the internet for a while. The data overseas was too expensive, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make any calls again, so she had not kept herself up to date with the latest news.
However, upon hearing Eskild's words, she could no longer be bothered by the costs. Swiftly, she turned on her data roaming and keyed in the news website in Chanaea.
It was then she saw that her mother's name was trending online.
After clicking in, she saw a post with hundreds of thousands of comments.
The Wife Of The Chairman Of Greene Corporation Under Police Investigation For Drug Abuse And Prostitution.
Wendy turned as white as a sheet, and she nearly passed out.
Although she knew that her family dealt in drug businesses, she did not know that her mother had gotten involved with it.
But what's with prostitution?
After clicking on the post and scrolling down, Wendy found out that her mother had become a bar girl.
