He spoke politely.
“Phoebe Jenkins’ situation in the Fraser’s mansion is not good. She arrived just as the Turner family launched an attack. Alexander Fraser got injured in the assassination attempt. Besides, Helena Fraser took the opportunity to have her father arrange to spread rumours that Phoebe was the cause of the disaster, saying that she is a jinx.
“Due to Alexander’s critical injury, Victoria Wilson stays in the ward all day to watch over him. On the other hand, Stanford Fraser has taken over all the family’s affairs and is very busy. Therefore, it also allowed people with a heart to spread rumours all over the family in about three days. Now, everyone in the Fraser family regards Phoebe as a jinx and is extraordinarily hostile towards her.”
“What?”
Florence almost jumped up in agitation, and her expression instantly darkened.
“How can they do this to Phoebe? The attack on the Fraser family has nothing to do with her at all.”
Florence was furious.
In hindsight, she finally understood why she felt strange looking at Phoebe when she was on the video call. However, Phoebe was smiling and covering up, so Florence could not be sure.
Without thinking, Florence knew what happened next.
Since Florence had asked Phoebe for help, Phoebe went to look for Stanford. However, the members of the Fraser family were quite unfriendly towards her now.
They made things difficult for Phoebe for a whole day.
During that time, when Phoebe talked to Florence, Phoebe even said with a smile that Stanford was too busy and asked Florence to wait.
In fact, this was not the case at all. Phoebe was being bullied the entire time.
Florence hated herself for not being able to react earlier and know sooner.
She asked anxiously, “Where is Phoebe now? How is she doing?”
At the other end of the screen, the man's voice sank, “Phoebe had gone missing two hours ago.”
Florence instantly stiffened, and she felt chilly all over.
Ernest’s face darkened, and he scolded.
“Clarify.”
He did not want to worry and fear Florence unnecessarily.
The man on the other end of the screen continued.
“In the afternoon, Phoebe went to the small building where Stanford lived. George Fraser tricked her into standing outside all afternoon. Later on, she rushed into the study. I don’t know exactly what happened inside, but she got tied up and brought out. Then, she got taken away by the loading truck from the side path.”
Tied up.
Got taken away by the loading truck.
Upon hearing these sensitive words, Florence's body tensed up even tighter. She felt a chill all over her body, and she was scared.
Now she knew why she could no longer contact Phoebe. It turned out that they dared to do something like this to Phoebe!
Not only was Phoebe Florence’s best friend, but she was also Stanford’s girlfriend. How dare they?
Florence’s eyes were almost red. “Where was she taken? Didn’t you guys look for it?”
“I am sorry, Miss Fraser. After all, we are only informants. Due to our secret identity, we could not take obvious actions, as people would be suspicious of us. Therefore, we dared not follow and search publicly. We could only quietly mobilize people to investigate secretly. Our actions are also limited. Now, we have not found out the specific location where they had taken Phoebe to…”
If they had not found Phoebe, that meant she could be suffering from any kind of situation or injury. No one would know!
Florence was on the verge of losing her mind. She said agitatedly.
“At this point, let's not care about exposing your identity or not. Hurry to find Phoebe. We must find her and bring her back at all costs.”
“This…”
