Hunting for His EX-Wife

The next morning, Elliot returned to the villa after taking a shower and came out of his room. His gaze fell on the door of the room where Rose lived, and he planned to walk downstairs.

As he passed by the room, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The door was not closed properly, and he could see the little girl inside standing in front of the window talking to someone. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear–

“Daddy, you’re leaving so soon? I don’t want you to go! If you all leave, I’ll be alone with Mommy at home… I don’t want you to go!”

Leah’s voice had a hint of reluctance that made Elliot unconsciously stop.

His eyes flickered slightly as he stood at the doorway listening without making a sound.

Leah was really reluctant. She received a call early in the morning that Lawrence and her uncle and brother were leaving.

“I don’t want you all to leave! Daddy, why won’t you take me with you?” She pouted unhappily but deep down she wanted more than anything to stay behind with her mom and dad who were still at home. Even though she had her uncle and brothers here abroad, it wasn’t quite like being home.

But she still had to say these words; at least express that she also wanted them all together.

Leah wanted to stay, but the thought of not being able to see them for a short while made her feel sad. Elliot was still listening, not fully comprehending the conversation.

On the other end of the phone, Leah said something, and then her voice resumed, “Daddy Lawrence, aren’t you supposed to talk about cooperation when you get back? Why are you just leaving like this? I don’t want any of this…”

Elliot’s face changed slightly: Lawrence was suddenly leaving?

Going abroad?

At this thought, Elliot’s heart began pounding nervously as he pushed open the door wider trying to see inside more clearly but couldn’t spot Rose anywhere.

Where did Rose run off?

Elliot frowned tightly; both hands unconsciously clenched into fists as that sense unease slowly grew within him until anger rose up within him- Rose really wasn’t here!

Could it be that she is now with Lawrence? Are they going away together?

Elliot gritted his teeth and pulled out his phone with a fierce look in his eyes. He was about to call Rose when his assistant’s phone rang first. The assistant sounded anxious and flustered as soon as he answered, “Mr. Harper, our business partner is about to leave, do you know? Is our company’s cooperation really not going forward?”

Elliot squeezed the phone tighter and tighter, veins popping out on the back of his hand. His face grew even more ferocious as he replied, “Lawrence is leaving? Good riddance!”

The assistant was confused and didn’t understand what Mr. Harper meant by that or why he was so angry.

If their partner really left, their company’s cooperation with RH would be over. So many people wanted to work with RH but this time they chose Mr. Harper’s company for negotiations. He thought it would go smoothly but now this situation…

The assistant thought about all of this and became even more anxious as he asked, “Mr. Harper, should I send someone to intercept him? There’s still a chance for us to cooperate if we talk it out…”

Elliot didn’t pay attention at all to what he said; instead, he clenched his jaw tightly in rage while speaking in a low growl, “How many plane tickets did he book?”

The assistant stood there stunned for a moment before finally responding,”Huh?”

He hadn’t reacted yet.

“I’m asking you how many plane tickets did he book?” Elliot spoke while walking downstairs heavily towards outside; footsteps were loud almost like roaring accompanied by manic anger.

Leah had heard him from when Elliot started talking on the phone; she hung up her call with Lawrence immediately, then ran outside only seeing Elliot storming down angrily from upstairs.

Why did Daddy get so angry? His voice scared her! What exactly happened?

The assistant quickly snapped back into reality and had someone check right away before answering nervously, “Three plane tickets, Mr. Harper! Mr. Ingram booked three plane tickets!”

Although he didn’t know why Elliot was so angry or why he had been asked about booking flights but just for his own safety reasons, he decided not to ask too many questions.

Elliot stopped abruptly mid-step, then walked faster than before after hearing that answer.

His handsome face darkened, resembling the weather before an impending storm – fierce winds, lightning, and thunder. The gloomy emotions gathering in his eyes were clearly exposed, brimming with anger. The veins on his forehead stood out prominently, showcasing his temper in every way.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Find out where Lawrence and Tom are right now!” Elliot suppressed his anger and ordered, the rage inside him almost boiling over. He coldly spoke a few words before getting into his sports car to wait for the results.

His assistant was at a loss as he picked up another phone to make inquiries. What had happened? Was it because Mr. Ingram was leaving and Mr. Harper’s cooperation had failed that he was so angry? But what did this have to do with Miss Russell’s brother?

Even though the assistant didn’t know what had happened, he dared not delay in carrying out Elliot’s orders, urgently asking someone to find out.

In just a few minutes, just as Elliot was about to explode in anger, his assistant found out: “Mr. Harper, we’ve found them! The surveillance footage from Tom’s neighborhood shows that he left early this morning with a suitcase and went to the airport.”

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Elliot’s face became even more fierce and gloomy. His entire face turned dark.

With a snap of his fingers, he threw his tightly held phone into the car interior where it tumbled around for some time before finally falling onto the ground with its screen blackened.

Elliot still felt unsatisfied; he angrily pounded on the steering wheel causing it honk loudly which cleared away some of his foggy thoughts but also ignited an even deeper layer of fury within him.

It really is like this! Rose actually wanted to leave with Lawrence! How dare she! Not only did she leave her daughter behind but also took Lawrence and her brother away too!

Elliot looked terrible right now; if Henry saw him like this, he would probably be frightened by how scary Elliot looked. He seemed to be brewing a storm, just waiting for the right moment to unleash it when he saw that woman again.

The assistant heard the crackling sounds on the other end of the phone followed by the call abruptly ending. He then recalled Elliot’s earlier questions and the message he was instructed to investigate. Within moments, his face changed as he hastily left the office, driving towards the airport with a sense of urgency.
