Chapter 397: Kidnapping (1)

Stella smiled, seeing Rose so eager to ask about her. This girl is still the same as before.

"Rose, sorry if I didn’t tell you. But my parents suddenly moved, and I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to you." Stella felt sorry because her parents suddenly moved to another country, and at that moment, her life changed.

"It’s okay, Stella. What’s important now is you’re safe and healthy...."

"Thank you."

Rose couldn’t hide her joy at seeing Stella’s warm and friendly smile. It was like seeing the old version of Stella she knew, different from the cold demeanor she had seen earlier.

"Stella, you knew my phone number, right!?" Rose saw Stella nod. "But, why do you never call me even once after you move?"

When Stella suddenly disappears, Rose thinks someone has kidnaped her family and killed them. Because there’s no way Stella can move without contacting her by phone or letter, right?"

"I remember your phone number. However, we moved to a remote island with a poor signal at that time. So, I can’t call you..." Stella said while she pushed her thoughts away from glancing at her sports watch. Her time is only ten minutes, she can’t stay here long, or someone will take her life.

Rose softly smiled when she saw her best friend looking guilty, "Hahaha...don’t worry, Stella, I was just wondering where you have been all this time. Now I understand why you suddenly disappeared. All this time, I thought you were swallowed by the earth."

"Well, sorry, Rose. I’ll make sure to stick with you from now on." A faint smile appeared on Stella’s face.

Rose could only reply with a smile. And then Stella continued, "Rose, it looks like you have well-settled in this town. And... you look younger and prettier than the last time we met."

"Hahaha, Stella, stop joking around. You are much prettier than me." Said Rose back, with a laugh at her words of flattery. "Yeah, you’re right, though. I just moved to this city after graduating from college. Ah, you still remember Oliver, don’t you? He also moved to this town...."

"Oliver!? The Oliver in our class? I can’t believe he finally left East City."

"Hahaha. Yeah, surprising. I forced that guy to move out of the city instead of him living there alone. Now he’s helping me build my company. So, we’re working together now. Aah, Stella, if you have time, how about we have dinner with Oliver tomorrow?"

Stella was silent, unable to reply to Rose.

"Are you coming back here for goods or a holiday?" Rose asks.

"For vacation. I’m leaving tonight..." Stella stood up from her seat. She stared at Rose anxiously for a few moments before finally saying goodbye. "Sorry, Rose, I have to go now. I’ll call you later..."

She left so fast!?

Why is she in such a hurry?

When Rose emanated from the shock, Stella had already strolled away hurriedly.

She hasn’t given me her number. How can I contact her if I don’t have her number?

Suddenly a strange feeling rose in her heart—she felt that Stella was trying to avoid her like she wanted to cut ties with her.

Why does she do that!?

"Stella... What happened to you? Why did you turn out like this?" Rose muttered to herself, her eyes flashing with sadness.

Her heart hurts.

Somehow, she felt like she had lost her best friend for the second time.

"Sister..." Keira stood beside Rose while giving her coffee. "Let’s go back to the office. I have a meeting with my division right now." Keira glanced at her watch—she was five minutes late.

"Ah, I’m sorry, Kei, I made you late. You go first. I’ll be waiting for Oscar...." How could she abandon her fool bodyguard!? Someone would be angry if he found out she left without Oscar.

"Are you sure, Sis? I can accompany you for a while until Oscar returns..." Keira was worried about leaving Rose at the coffee shop alone.

"Keira Spencer, you think I’m a first grader!?" Rose shook her head in disbelief. She ignored her as she sat again.

"Hahaha... alright, bye sista..."

Rose, looking at Keira, walked towards the Wilson Tower. But moments later, she saw two burly men in black suits dragging Keira into a black van.

"What the fuck!! Someone kidnapped Keira!!??" Rose sprinted out of the cafe and chased the car, but her efforts were in vain.

At the same time, a taxi stopped near her.

Rose got in as soon as the passengers got off. "Sir, hurry, chase the black van in front!!"

"Sorry, miss, I can’t. My workday is over, and I must return this car to headquarters..." The curly-haired driver smiled kindly at Rose.

"It’s urgent, sir. My sister was kidnapped..." Rose pleaded with the driver, who seemed reluctant to take her.

Rose quickly took out all the money in her purse.

"Sir, this is all the money in my wallet. Please, please take that as your payment..." Rose handed over all the money. "If this money is not enough, I will give more after you help me..."

Her heart sank as the black van got further away. Fear began to take over her mind when she realized that if she couldn’t tail the van, she might never see her cousin again.

While waiting for this middle-aged man driver to answer, her mouth was busy praying—the van would get stuck in traffic.

"This..." The taxi driver was confused. If he picks up this passenger, he will be fined for late returning the car at the base. But hearing this girl’s reason—her sister was kidnapped—he felt guilty if he refused.

"Okay, I’ll follow them..." He stepped on the gas deeper and focused on catching the kidnapper.

"Sir... please hurry!!" Rose’s heart skipped a beat. She was so scared. Fear of losing the car and kidnappers will harm Keira.

After a while, their car was at a safe distance to follow the black van.

"Miss, I suggest you call someone for help because even though we can catch them, I’m afraid we can’t help your sister..."

Instantly Rose cursed herself—she forgot to contact Oscar.

Just when she wanted to make a call, her cellphone rang.
