The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 456 - 467: The Chancellor Arrives (3)

Bryan Jackson whimpered in grievance, sobbing.

Mia Ginger listened to his voice, and finally came back to her senses, letting out a sigh of relief. She hid in Koa Jackson’s embrace, softly saying, "Brother Jackson."

"It’s okay now." Koa Jackson wrapped his arm around her shoulder, then took out his phone.

No signal.

Allen, beside him, also took a look at his phone and put it back.

The group waited in the yard for a few more minutes without returning to the restaurant. The old man was helped to sit on a chair.

After a little while—

Seeing there was no movement at all.

A few men returned to the hall and brought out some news.

Everyone was startled.

Shen Qiao, being a reporter, had the most friends and was the first to make a call.

Soon—

Other people’s phones started ringing one after another.

There were several major traffic accidents in the city, and Koa Jackson hadn’t even finished his meal; he had to go work overtime.

Mia Ginger looked at him and asked, "Shall I go with you?"

Koa Jackson thought for a moment, gently comforting, "It will be very busy; you might find it boring if you come. How about waiting at home? I’ll come over to pick you up tonight."

"I won’t disturb you." Mia Ginger pressed her lips, looking expectant.

Having gone through such a moment earlier, how could she bear to leave Koa Jackson now?

Koa Jackson looked at her, pondering, when Allen suddenly came over, putting an arm around Mia Ginger’s shoulder, saying, "Little Pepper, come with me. How about we go take photos in the street? What’s fun about going to the hospital."

Mia Ginger: "..."

Koa Jackson’s gaze fell on him, and after a brief thought, he agreed, "Why don’t you go with Allen to the street, and I’ll find you two after work?"

This girl looked at him with such longing that his heart completely softened.

Mia Ginger knew he was in a bind, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Koa Jackson was pressed for time, so they both skipped the meal, bade farewell to the old man, and the three of them went out together.

Behind them—

Lilian Jackson watched the three walk away briskly, biting her lip hard.

She finished her meal silently and went back to her room.

People’s calculations can’t match up to destiny’s plans.

She never expected that after making up her mind, Koa Jackson would leave unexpectedly.

Sitting on the bed with a frustrated face, Lilian Jackson took a deep breath.

Feeling restless, she threw herself onto the bed.

Staring at the ceiling.

Completely forgetting—

The spices she prepared had already slowly evaporated with the floral scent.

Downstairs—

Gideon Jackson noticed she disappeared after finishing her meal and felt some unspoken worry.

Many artists in the company were out of town for events, and after the earthquake, the place was naturally busy with endless tasks.

He took several calls in succession and really had no time to look for Lilian Jackson.

He was making calls as he walked out.

He made three calls in a row to no answer.

Naturally, he became more worried.

In random thoughts, he looked up, seeing several servants busy tidying up the hall, so he simply raised his hand and called over a bodyguard standing at the door.

"Mr. Jackson, what do you need?" The bodyguard quickly approached, calling out to him.

"Hmm." Gideon Jackson put away his phone and instructed, "Go to the back and find Lilian for me; tell her to make sure to call me back soon."

"Alright." The bodyguard responded and turned to go into the hall.
