Chapter 1999
Vivian was shocked. 'Ray got someone to look for me?'
She initially thought it was Luca who did not keep her promise and informed Ray that she was in Ostin Hotel.
"What's wrong?" Ray asked after seeing her shocked expression.
He did not tell her anything about it because Luke had requested not to tell her the truth. The truth was that it was Luke who informed Ray.
"Nothing. My things. Did you men help me bring them back?" Vivian asked.
"Yes. They brought back everything. They even helped you check out of your room. All of your things are over there." Ray lifted his chin toward the direction of the dressing table.
Vivian's purse was on the dressing table.
"I got it." Vivian got down from the bed, and when she got up, she felt her legs weaken. She frowned.
"You'll be fine after drinking lots of water," Ray said. That drug was initially meant to be used against enemies. If it was not because he was worried that Vivian might struggle and escape, he would not have asked them to use the drug.
Vivian pursed her lips and drank one large cup of water.
Ray was relieved when he noticed that she was not crying or causing havoc.
"It's getting late. You should get into bed.” Ray got up and looked at Vivian.
"Alright." Vivian nodded. She was still suffering from the effects of the drug. Not only did she feel a lack of strength but she also felt tired.
"If you don't sleep, you can go to the study beside to read the books that I bought. They're all the books that you like." After Ray said this, he left Vivian's bedroom.
Vivian looked around after the door was closed.
It had been a few years since she slept in this room, but the decorations in the room were still the same.
The furniture was brand new, but the paintings on the wall were still the same. It was clear that during her absence, Ray still got people to take care of her room.
'This has always been my home...'
Vivian felt a sense of sourness within her. She thought that this would be her childhood home. She never thought that she would one day return.
'Fortunately, nothing has changed.'
Ray did not get mad and changed her bedroom into a guest room just because she chose to be with Gordan. That bedroom was left here as if it was waiting for her return.
Perhaps Ray knew a long time ago that she would not stay outside for long.
'Fair enough. This useless determination, how long will it last? Three years? That's quite long.'
After Ray left Vivian's bedroom, he immediately returned to his study where Hansen was waiting for him.
"Sir, how's Ms. Vivian?" Hansen asked.
He was an orphan, and since young, he had stayed alongside Vivian and Ray's parents. He was also someone who had accompanied the siblings as they grew up. After getting to know that Vivian and
Gordan had divorced, he was mad.
He wanted to plot a scheme on Gordan but his idea was not approved by Ray.
"She's resting. Where's Gordan?" Ray asked.
"He's still in the villa. The maid in the villa said that he hasn't left the place the entire day. He's still living his life as usual, not bothered about Ms. Vivian's condition," Hansen answered angrily. 'Vivian has done so many things for Gordan. Now, she wants to divorce Gordan and even went missing. However, Gordan isn't bothered about it and didn't head out to look for Vivian or take any action at all. He's just hiding in the villa like a young master!'
"What the hell is he doing?" Ray frowned. Vivian had signed the divorce papers but Gordan kept hiding in the villa, not submitting the divorce agreement.
As long as Gordan sent in the divorce papers, his marriage with Vivian would be nullified.
Initially, Ray thought that Gordan would leave the villa on that day itself because Gordan hated Vivian. Divorce was his biggest wish, but at this moment, things did not seem to go the way he expected.
"Sir, why don't I go and look for Gordan?" Hansen clenched his fists. Even though Vivian was not goodlooking, he would not allow anyone to bully her!
Gordan had let Vivian down. It was only a matter of time before they sought revenge on him.
"No need. Just have the people in the villa keep an eye on him. Also, Vivian is still very sad now. Pass down my orders. Don't let any of the servants in the villa mention a word about Gordan or divorce," Ray ordered.
"Alright." Hansen had no choice but to agree after Ray stopped him. However, deep in his heart, he was not satisfied.
In Gordan's villa.
Gordan was lounging in a massage chair. He was thinking about heading over to Ostin Hotel the next day to look for Vivian to change the contents of the divorce papers.
He had prepared a huge amount of cash. 'If Vivian doesn't want the villa, then I'll give her the cash. I'll just take it as though I'm buying this villa from her.'
After all, the villa fulfilled his aesthetics. Even if he wanted to leave, he would feel unwilling to.
His phone rang, and Gordan answered it, "Is there an issue with the transaction?"
He asked.
The person on the other end of the call was the man who had helped him search for Vivian.
"No, Mr. Norton. I've already received your money. There's just one thing that I feel the need to inform you. Just take it as a reward for paying me on time," the man said.
"What is it?" Gordan squinted his eyes. 'Nothing good will happen if this man calls. Is it about Vivian? She must've realized that I got others to look for her, so she checked out and is hiding elsewhere now?'
"It's about your wife, Ms. Vivian. An hour ago, she was drugged and carried away from the hotel." When that man spoke, he said it with a calm tone as if the person carried away was just an item.
"Vivian has been kidnapped by others? Who's behind this?" Gordan was shocked and sat up.
"I'm not too sure, and I didn't follow up," the man said. He saw it because he felt it was a waste not to stay there for the night when the room had already been paid for. Hence, he decided to stay in the hotel for one night. He did not expect to see such a scene when he came out.
The reason he did not follow up on it was that his job was to look for people, not to save them.
Besides, the money given by Gordan was to look for Vivian. It did not cover the services that followed.
"Why didn't you follow up on the matter?" Gordan asked through gritted teeth. The massage chair was still turned on, and he switched it off irritably.
"Because this isn't a service that I offer. Besides, the person who took Vivian away looks like someone who we shouldn't offend. The money you gave is for me to look for Vivian, and I found her. It was just a coincidence that I saw that scene, so I gave you a call to inform you. Do you need me to search for her again?" the man asked.
Gordan understood that he wanted more money.
If he received more money, he would find Vivian. If he did not receive any money, the man would not continue with the work.
"Has your business been failing? Couldn't you have followed them and then ask me for money later on?' Gordan squinted his eyes coldly and revealed a ferocious aura.
"At that moment, the situation was a little desperate and I wasn't in a position to inform you. If you've decided to continue working together, I can immediately start my work and look for her."
"No thanks. The way your organization operates has let me down!" Gordan hung up the call. The thought of Vivian being kidnapped by someone he did not know made him so mad that he smashed his phone on the wall.
