The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 38: How Wrong She Was?

The door was pushed open from outside as Raymond rushed into the office, startling Ethan who had been engrossed in signing the numerous files before him. They were in Anderson Corporation after a long absence so there was too much work for them to cover.

"What is the problem?" Ethan asked, a deep frown on his face.

"I just got the report on Miss Anderson’s teammates, Sir!" Raymond gasped, exhausted from the run he had just ended. Since his Boss had asked him to investigate Miss Anderson’s teammates at his own convenient time as long as it was that same day, Raymond was not in a hurry to read the report. After clicking on it mistakenly and skimming through it, he knew he was dead.

"And what did it say?" Ethan inquired. Though he knew Raymond would not be this excited if there was nothing special in the report, he also did not expect that the report held information as shocking as what Raymond told him next.

"The Jordans!" Raymond started, "Their Boss has two daughters, Shirley Jordan and Erica Jordan and both of them were dispatched this time,"

Ethan’s high IQ was quick to connect the dots between Shikera’s teammates and The Jordans. Standing up from his seat while wearing his jacket at the same time, he asked, "One of them works with Shikera?"

"Yes Sir! It’s Erica Jordan and she drugged Miss Anderson that night she came home drunk," Raymond answered. He watched as his Boss let out a string of curses, his heart torn between joy and anxiety.

He was not sure whether to rejoice that his Boss was not blaming him, or whether to be anxious at the fact that they didn’t know the state Miss Anderson was in her workplace.

"Inform Ruth, we should get to Preston TV as soon as possible," Ethan instructed, cursing himself inwardly. How could he have missed this when it was clearly presented in front of him? The least he could have done the previous night was ask the name of the person bothering her, and then ask Raymond to get information on that person immediately but he procrastinated. He could only hope that nothing had been done to harm her by now.

As he walked towards the door, sharp knocks from the other side made him halt in his footsteps. Ruthlyn wouldn’t knock so it could only mean it was one of the secretaries outside.

Adjusting his facemask until he was sure his facial features could not be made out, he continued towards the door and opened it when he got there.

His assumption was right as it was really a secretary who was standing outside the door, her somewhat aged face not surprised at seeing it was Ethan DeLoach who opened the door.

"What’s the—"

She interrupted him harshly, probably not knowing it was Ethan DeLoach who opened the door himself.

"Could you inform President DeLoach that I received a call from Preston TV right now? It was Miss Anderson’s friend, Miss Leigh and she informed me that Miss Anderson has just been rushed to Lucian Rays hospital! She was not allowed to contact Miss Anderson’s doctor so..." Mrs Mason trailed off as the man she was talking too breezed past her face followed by another man wearing black, into the elevator.

"...she wanted you to contact a doctor familiar with Miss Anderson’s condition," she completed before walking away from the front of the door to her sit, pondering on if she should contact Chairman Anderson about this matter or not. She decided not to, for the meantime while concluding that she should get more news before contacting him.

★★★

Lucian Rays Group Of Hospitals.

Ethan was completely oblivious to the crowd in the ground floor of the hospital as he weaved himself through them, intent to get to the first floor as soon as he could. He had contacted his own doctor, Kyle as this was where the man worked but he had been unable to get Doctor Krystal Alexander, Shikera’s doctor.

On getting to the first floor which held the VVIP wards, the chairman and executives of the hospital came to welcome him while leading him to Shikera’s ward.

Doctor Kyle was in the room, a depressing expression on the face as he bent over Shikera. When he noticed Ethan walking into the room, he hurriedly approached him.

"You can’t come near her, Ethan. She was poisoned..."

"I don’t care about that. Just make sure she’s alright," he tried to peer over Kyle’s shoulder to see the face of the woman who was lying in bed but he only able to see her for a second before a loud noise came from the front of the ward.

Doctor Krystal walked in, her hair disheveled and her lab coat stained with blood.

"They delayed me by planting Shirley Jordan as a teacher in my daughter’s school," she informed them of the reason they had been unable to contact her, as she shed off the stained lab coat and turned to Kyle,

"Any spare Scrub* that I can use immediately?" She asked.

Kyle nodded and walked out of the ward, coming back a few minutes later with the clothing in his hand.

Krystal got to work immediately, while the others, including Ethan and Excluding Kyle, were asked to leave the room.

Ethan didn’t argue with them as he had something else to do. He turned to Raymond who had been silently following him and asked,

"Any info from Ruth?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Yes Sir, Erica Jordan has been taken away by the Special Forces Team Leaders. They can only allow us see her if we get there within twenty minutes."

"Where are they?"

"The penthouse, Heart Of The City Hotel."

Since the hotel was also located in the same city they were in presently, it did not take Ethan and Raymond more than five minutes to get there.

They easily spotted Ruthlyn who was waiting for them, before they proceeded to the penthouse.

"Ethan DeLoach," Ethan introduced himself to the uniformed soldiers loitering around in the lobby. One of them walked towards him and took him to the place where they held Erica Jordan, before leaving him and his assistants alone with the Mafia princess.

"Don’t ask me anything cause I won’t answer you!" Erica yelled, immediately she spotted them coming towards her. From Ruthlyn Stone who was at the front of the group, she could tell that one of the other two men was Ethan DeLoach.

"I thank my stars the military caught me before you did so I can say these things without any fear of you hurting me," she smirked evilly, the way she had always wanted to all the time she was putting on a fake smile for Shikera Anderson.

"Know what? We knew you would get the information about us immediately we got to the city and that’s why we didn’t target your family, and went for the Anderson’s instead."

She continued, the smile not waning on her face, "She was so vulnerable, with her father out of the country and having such a weak health. She was an easy target despite having a brother in the military!"

Ethan stood rigid, his hands balled into fists, his eyes narrow and filled with rage. He was tense, his muscles taut and his jaw clenched tight. There was an air of tension and danger about him, and it was clear that he was ready to explode at any moment.

From Erica’s words, he could tell that she didn’t know he was Shikera’s husband and that she also thought he couldn’t hurt her since she was in special custody. How wrong she was?
