Chapter 468: Sisterly Love

"Rosie? You have news?"

Drake Rosette nodded as he walked closer to Seb who was waiting in the VIP waiting area. "Yes, Sir. Miss Emma has sustained multiple wounds and fractures throughout her body. The medical team is currently attending to her with utmost urgency. The most critical concern at present is the swelling within her skull, which poses a significant risk to her brain function. Until the swelling subsides, the doctors can’t provide a clearer prognosis."

"And by when do they think the swelling will subside?"

"Anywhere between two to four days." Rosie answered as he looked at Seb’s back carefully before continuing," I’ve also investigated the accident, like you said. The Police has already arrested the man who was driving the truck. He has confessed he was drunk."

Seb’s lips raised in a cynical smile. "They always are. So, what is the polive doing?"

"According to his confession, he repeatedly hit the car because he thought that he was playing a game. His mission was to ram the car into the tree."

That caused Seb to look at Rosie, his eyebrow shooting up in surprise," That is a creative excuse if I ever heard one."

Rosie nodded,"Yeah. It is so uncommon that it might be plausible."

"So, the police are going to not investigate further?"

"Probably, sir." Rosie grimaced and then continued without further prompting," We’ve already checked the man’s recednt whereabouts. He has not received any money and neither have his close relations to link that this might be anything more. But there is one things..."

Walking forward, he handed his phone to Seb, showing the screen," Here, I caught this from the private surveillance camera of a homeowner there."

Seb stared at the video for a long moment, before pausing," So, it seems Emma planned her own accident but then this truck came out of nowhere and made it a bitter reality for her."

"Yes, Sir. That would also explain the presence of the media waiting here for you. So, this accident could really be a coincident."

Seb thought for a moment, as he stared at the media circus outside before finally speaking," No. Emma doing this unlikely. She did not plan to have such a huge accident. She probably planned to come to the office all shaken up to get sympathy or would have tried to get me there, pretending to be weak. Getting to the hospital and all the journalists would have exposed her lie."

"Then the journalists present out there? Is it a coincidence?"

"No. It seems whoever was spying on me has escalated their tactics. They’ve lost their spies, so they’ve resorted to the press to keep tabs on me," Seb concluded, his expression grave as he considered the implications of everything.

Vivienne Dempsey. Had she really returned? If she had and any of this was her doing, then...

"Rosie, I want you to find out everything you can about a woman named Vivienne Dempsey. Start with her current whereabouts, recent activities, associates—anything that might give us a lead. I need to know if she’s connected to this in any way. Her last known place of living was Country J."

Rosie frowned. Who was this Vivienne Dempsey? Even the name was pretentious.

"Vivienne Dempsey? May I ask who is she, Sir? Is this one of your old flames?"

Seb shook his head, his gaze blank as he delved into memories buried deep within his mind. "Vivienne Dempsey... she was a classmate of ours back in high school," he explained, his tone tinged with unease.

Rosie’s expression remained skeptical. "And you think she’s connected to all of this? Why would a highschool nemesis return after so long?"

Seb nodded, his jaw set in determination. "If it was anyone else, then no. But when It’s Vivienne, I’d say anything is possible. Vivienne had a knack for getting involved in things she shouldn’t. If anyone knows how to orchestrate something like this without leaving a trace, it’s her."

"You will have to be really careful about the investigation. She is well protected."

"Alright, sir. I’ll do the needful." As Rosie would have stepped away, Seb called out once again," Also, start making arrangements for Olivia to return to the island."

"Mirs Brown? Why sir? I thought things were improving between the two of you? Why would you want to isolate her again?"

"Because if Vivienne is back then Olivia is in grave danger."

"Mrs Frost? Sir, is this Miss Dempsey really a stalker like the previous incident? Is she one of your old flames?"

Seb cast a glance at Rosie and shook his head," You really think I have some weird Exes?"

Rosie nodded," I don’t think so, Sir. Its all my previous experience."

Seb smiled a bit, before sighing," Vivienne Dempsey is not my ex. But she is someone who has enough obsession to turn into a stalker. Or a hunter. She is Olivia’s half sister."

Rosie coughed as he finally grasped the situation. Vivienne Dempsey was Olivia Brown’s half sister?

"So, she hates Mrs Frost? Is that why you think that she might be in danger." Drake thought to himself. Wasn’t that the most common thing? One sister was jealous of the other for some cooked up reason like parent’s partiality or something like that and then start blaming the sibling concerned.

But Seb shook his head," As it happens it is the opposite. She doesn’t hate Olivia. She loves Olivia and considers her little sister though they are only two months apart."

That gave Drake a moment and he frowned in confusion. "She loves her? And they are half sisters with only two months apart so Vivienne Dempsey’s father cheated on her mother?"

Seb shook his head. "No. It is much more complicated on that. But there is one thing clear to me. If Vivienne has returned then it is because of Olivia. And that is a bad thing."

Rosie wanted to ask why it was a bad thing, but knowing Seb, he’d already explained the needful. Any more questions would only lead to further problems.
