Chapter 509: Discovered

Seb’s heart raced as he saw Evana’s number and quickly answered the call," Evie?"

"Seb, I am at the clinic now. They are extracting the file. It seems it was done by some VIP so they need to go through the directors to get the ’before’ pic."

"SO, you’re sure that she had not just modelled for the clinie?"

"No! Dora remembered lightly. And of course they wound’t dare to show a fake picture to my mother and it was their most difficuly job, apparently becuase they had to repeatedly do the procedure due to the patien’s demand."

Seb cursed, while Evana paused, staring at the nurse who stood further away, extracting the information. As she heard him, she could not help but ask," Seb, I have a feeling you seem to know who this is..."

"I am guessing, Evana. And if I am guessing rightly then things are going to be a bigger mess that we can anticipate. So, I am praying that I am wrong and all this is just a nightmare."

"Is Olivia in danger, Seb?"

"I don’t know for sure, Evie. I mean sure, the threats and all were always there but this is a whole new scenario and I am assuming the worst..."

"Seb, I’ve sent you the picture. Let me know," Evana’s voice crackled through the phone.

Seb nodded, even though Evana couldn’t see him. "Got it. Thanks, Evana. I’ll check it right away."

Hurriedly, he opened the email and downloaded the attached picture. As the image slowly loaded on his screen, his breath caught in his throat. There, staring back at him, was a face he hadn’t seen in years. A face he thought he’d never see again. He’d prayed he’d never see again! As he cursed, Evie felt a sense of foreboding. She didn’t need to question him. She already knew the answer. "I’ll get there at the soonest."

But Seb had not heard this as he stared at the picture in shock. Just then, Rosie knocked on his door," Mr Frost, Detective Davis is here."

The detective entered the office brickly, and began without preamble," Mr Frost, we’ve already checked out Miss Emma’s background. It is clean. I am sure you’re mistaken..."

As Seb heard the words, he was jolted back to his senses. Turning around his laptop, he snapped at the detective," What kind of a detective are you? You say you’ve already checkout her background? Its clean? Don’t you think it is too clean, Detective? Can a normal person have such a white washed background? Specially someone who has been in the modelling industry for a couple of years? Here, this is her record of plastic surgery! Tell me did you find this?"

Detective Davis frowned in shock as she read the file. Miss Emma seemed to have had a lot of surgeries within a short period of time. Scowling, she looked at Seb," Mr Frost? Getting a surgery is not a criminal offence. Especially, considering the field she is in..."

Without a word, Seb clicked a key and the picture that he had just opened popped up," This is her before the surgery."

DEetective Davis cast it a glance and was about to comment about the girl when her eyes widened and her gaze snapped back to the person in the picture. "This is..."

"Emery Hernz." Seb finished it for her! Dam* it! Why hadn’t he connected the dots sooner?

"But wasn’t she sent away by her parents? Out of the country?"

Seb sighed," Yes. It seems she was sent to Estania. Under the pretext of studying. But she was getting surgery there."

Understanding the urgency, Davis quickly called her partner and mumbled, " Contact the Hernz. Question them about the whereabouts of their daughter. Tell them that we will have them arrested if they do not cooperate!"

Quickly, Detective Davis stood up," Mr Frost, we’ll find out everything we can about her past. And I’ll go to her house for questioning as soon as I have some evidence. You please warn Mrs Frost until then. And I’ll arrange for additional security while I’m at the precinct. Where is Mrs Frost right now?"

"On her way home! She must have reached by now. I’ll check."

However, Seb had a feeling of foreboding.. Hurriedly, he called Olivia but she did not answer her phone. Panic began to bubble up inside him as he tried again and again, each attempt met with silence.

Then it hit him like a ton of bricks-she was in his car. Desperation clawed at him as he fumbled for his phone, opening the GPS app.

But what he saw made his blood run cold. The little icon representing the car was moving, but not in the direction of home. Instead, it was heading towards the city limits.

Swearing under his breath, he spoke in a voice strained with worry. "She’s not answering her phone, and the car is headed away from home. Something’s not right, Davis."

Without hesitation, Detective Davis sprang into action, her eyes flashing with determination. She pulled out her own phone and dialed a number, speaking in rapid-fire urgency. "Get a team ready. We need to intercept a vehicle heading towards the city limits. Don’t engage and use unmarked cars. There is a pregnant lady in the car."

Seb looked at Rosie and as their eyes met, the man spoke alertly," I’ve already informed the others. And they’re on their way."

Seb nodded and turned to the detective," Lets go, detective."

As Detective Davis walked out, however, Seb paused and whispered something urgently to Rosie who widened his eyes and nodded, immediately starting to make a call.

After this, Seb ran out of the building with a determined stride, his heart pounding in his chest with fear for Olivia’s safety.

As he stepped out of the building, he spotted Demetri’s car racing towards him. Without waiting for him to stop, he jumped into the car, which then drove off immediately.

"Step on it, Demon!"

Demetri cast a worried look at his brother even as his eyes hardened. It was time to tackle some people...
