Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Chapter 452

Taylor felt as if they had been stuck in their small town for ages, completely oblivious to the wonders and technological advancements of the outside world.

"Clark, look at this necklace. The heart pendant has some weird symbols on it," Rosemary said, handing over the piece she’d discovered.

Clark studied it closely and gave his observation.

"It seems like it’s written in some special ink or maybe even etched. I wonder what message Carol was trying to get across."

Rosemary thought Carol was pretty clever, leaving so many clues behind.

Clark was secretly thrilled at that discovery. Initially, he thought finding Carol would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, but at that moment, there seemed to be some hope. If they could somehow decipher those symbols, they might be able to find her soon!

"Do these symbols resemble the ones we’ve seen on their cellphones?" Clark speculated. "Carol must have sensed danger a long time ago. She probably left these clues for us in case something happened to her."

"I think Carol might have known she was in danger and left these items behind. These could be bargaining chips against the organization," Rosemary suggested.

If they had leverage, they had a chance to negotiate.

At that moment, Taylor unwrapped the scarf and found a thick strand of yarn with something hidden inside it.

"What’s this?"

She cut it open to find a small silver key. It was about the size of a fingertip, and its function was unclear to them at that point.

"What on earth did Carol get herself involved in?" Taylor felt a growing sense of unease.

"Carol must have had something on that organization, which is why they’re so desperate to find her," Rosemary guessed.

"When those guys came to your house a few months ago, they didn’t harm you. That might have been because Carol had something they badly wanted. They clearly knew that if anything happened to you guys, Carol wouldn’t hesitate to bring them down with her."

Hearing that, Taylor felt a lump in her throat.

What else was Carol hiding from them? Was she safe?

Rosemary’s phone vibrated just at that moment. It was a call from Romeo.

"I’ll take this call," she said, moving toward the window.

"Rose," Romeo’s gentle voice came through the phone, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine," Rosemary smiled as she teased. "Didn’t your guy send you a picture?"

Romeo fell silent for a moment. He really didn’t expect his man to be so careless. He quickly changed the subject.

"I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead," Rosemary turned back and saw Taylor quietly wiping her tears while Clark and Logan tried to comfort her.

"Before I tell you, you have to promise me that I’ll be part of your next move," Romeo began to negotiate with her.

Rosemary immediately guessed that he must have found some important clue, so she agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay."

"I found out the last place Carol was seen — it was about a month ago in the Triangular Zone."

"Are you absolutely sure about that?"

"Yes." Romeo correctly guessed Rosemary’s next move and said, "Take me with you."

Rosemary didn’t expect Carol to be in the Triangular Zone, but it made quite a bit of sense. It was a lawless region — the most dangerous and yet the safest place.

"Then, have your people take Taylor, Logan, and Clark back home.

Find a safe place for them to stay. Tomorrow, meet us directly in the Triangular Zone," Rosemary instructed.

Perhaps surprised by Rosemary’s swift agreement, Romeo simply responded,

"Okay. See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Rosemary looked up and said,

"Chris, prepare the plane. We’ll be sending them home first."

"Yes," Chris quickly responded.

Taylor, with tearful eyes, asked in astonishment,

"We’re leaving so soon? But we haven’t found Carol yet."

"It’s not safe for you to stay here." Rosemary approached them, speaking softly.

"We will find Carol, trust us."

"Take us with you," Taylor pleaded, clutching Rosemary’s hand.

"We don’t want to go home. We promise we won’t be a burden. As long as we’re in the same city, we’ll stay out of your way."

"No," Rosemary was firm. "The place we’re heading to next is even more dangerous than here."

After all, the Triangular Zone was notoriously chaotic.

Even though she and Romeo had a stronghold there, caution was always wise.

"I can guarantee that we’ll have news about Carol within a week."

Rosemary’s words seemed to provide a soothing reassurance.

Within a week?

Clark found it hard to believe that they could locate Carol in such a short time.

Had that phone call Rose received earlier brought some clues?

"Carol will be found within a week?" Taylor’s tears started flowing again, unsure whether to feel relieved or excited.

"Which country is she in now? Which city?"

"Not far from us." Rosemary didn’t elaborate, fearing the seniors might act on their own.

"You’ll stay at a place we’ve arranged until we find her. There, you’ll be looked after and protected, and you won’t have to worry about food or accommodation."

"Do we have to leave?" Taylor still wanted to stay close to her daughter.

But Logan seemed to have made a decision.

"Let’s do as they say. We won’t be of any help here, and we’re just causing them trouble. They said we’ll hear about Carol, and I believe that. Rosemary, let’s exchange contact information."

Logan took out his phone and saved Rosemary and Clark’s numbers, and added them on WhatsApp.

Taylor did the same, but there was still something bothering her.

"We’re leaving so abruptly, and we haven’t even notified that old professor."

"Yes, he’s a poor man. I’ll call him first."

Logan made several attempts, but the call went unanswered.

"We should say goodbye in person and return the rest of this month’s rent to him."

Taylor’s words were promptly rejected by Rosemary.

"No, you can’t go anywhere right now. The plane will be here soon."

"But that old man is so pitiful," Taylor felt guilty about leaving so abruptly.

She told Rosemary that the old man was from Solterra and had moved to Iridia with his son after his son married a foreign woman. But he couldn’t communicate with his daughter-in-law because he didn’t speak any foreign language.

Later, due to a job change, his son and daughter-in-law moved to a far-off suburb, which made it inconvenient for the old man to even buy groceries.

So he stayed alone in the old house in Iridia, hired a tutor, and studied every day.

He only did this so he could communicate with his grandchildren when they visited him each month.
