The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 167 - 163

Chapter 167: Chapter 163

My mom had a kind of weird look on her face as she said, "Exactly, you’re gonna be single forever, but my daughter is way too awesome to be single forever. I won’t buy this!"

I just chuckled and didn’t comment, feeling a bit bitter inside because I might indeed end up being single forever.

Even though I come from a decent family, the fact that I couldn’t have kids kept all the suitable guys away from me.

"Hey, where’s my phone?" Suddenly, my mom patted her pockets and rummaged through her bag, realizing her phone was gone.

She slapped her forehead and said, "Darn it; I must’ve left it on the tarot card table. Let me go get it."

I stopped her and said, "I’ll do it. You’ve had a long walk, and you’re not in good shape"

I left my mom where she was and headed back to the psychic granny’s house alone to get the phone.

As soon as I got to the door, I heard the psychic granny’s voice, "Madam, don’t force it. You and him are not meant to be."

I walked in and saw Ariel standing there, gripping her tarot cards with her face full of defiance.

My mom’s phone was on the table. Thankfully, no one had taken it.

I walked over, picked up the phone, and said to the psychic granny, "Hi, this is my mom’s phone. I’ll take it."

The psychic granny nodded.

Suddenly, Ariel pointed at me and asked, "What about her?"

"Madam, that’s her private matter. We can’t disclose it." The psychic granny replied calmly.

Ariel seemed very resentful, probably because she found out that she and Damon were not meant to be, so she was in a bad mood

I was about to leave with the phone when Ariel and Karen were also about to go.

They didn’t seem to care whether it would be awkward to walk with me. The two of them just silently followed behind me.

Until Ariel got a phone call

"Really? Nicole, you’re amazing!" She seemed very happy. "Okay, when are you guys arriving? We can have dinner together on Nick."

Nicole and Nick?

I was surprised. If these two were together, Nicole really was amazing.

Meanwhile, Ariel had found another reason to get close to Damon.

After the call, Ariel’s mood seemed to improve. She said to Karen, "Karen, Nicole and Nick are finally together. They’re on a flight this afternoon, and they’ll be here tonight"

"All right, let’s go pick them up and have dinner together," Karen responded.

With that, they quickened their pace to leave.

I met up with my mom, and we chatted as we walked. James was waiting for us.

By now, it was going to be nightfall by the time we got back to the city. No wonder Ariel and the others were so rushed.

As soon as I got back to the city, I received a call from Luna.

"Eliana, I need your help!" Luna sounded panicked, "Do you remember Steve? Something’s happened to him!"

Of course, I remember him. He helped me write that article exposing Ariel, and he helped me look into those pictures of me and Joshua hugging.

He didn’t charge me a dime, claiming to respect Luna and treating this as a favor between friends.

Plus, he used to post a lot of information about Damon, so he was used to it.

However, I had no contact with Steve for the past two years.

"What happened?" I asked.

"He heard that Damon’s father had an illegitimate child and published a news article without any evidence. Although he retracted it in time, it still caused some rumors. After Damon found out, Steve disappeared!"

Luna was angry and helpless as she said, "He’s willing to do anything for fame, but this isn’t entertainment news. How could he just write it?"

I was startled. Was the news I saw yesterday written by Steve?

He was really reckless, provoking Damon again and again, this time even daring to publicize Damon’s family affairs.

"Steve is a good friend of mine, and his mother came to me to help find him. Eliana, Damon won’t answer our calls. Can you help contact him? If Steve is in his hands, can you tell him not to go too hard?" Luna asked.

My mom was listening to me on the phone, but she probably couldn’t hear what Luna was saying.

I answered succinctly. "Okay, don’t worry. I’ll give it a try."

Steve helped me out, and now Luna is asking for my help. I can’t refuse.

"What happened? My mom asked sharply.

"No big deal, Luna’s friend disappeared suddenly. She hopes I can help find him", I replied calmly, trying not to let my mom see anything was amiss.

My mom looked worried, "Do you need my help?"

I shook my head, "No, James, drop me off at the next intersection. Just take my mom home."

"Eliana, you.." My mom hesitated.

"Mom, it’s okay." I reassured her, and as soon as James stopped the car, I got out.

After James drove off, I found a bench on the side of the road to sit down, then dialed Damon’s number, I didn’t really want to contact him, but things always

seemed to force me to.

The phone rang for a while, but no one answered.

Just as I was about to hang up, Damon’s voice came from the other end, "What’s up?"

"Damon, where are you?" I asked right away.

"I’m at the office, what’s up?" He asked back.

I thought about my words and tried to keep my tone as soft as possible. "Um, do you know Steve? A reporter."

There was a brief silence on Damon’s end, then he chuckled and said, "Yeah, I know him. Are you looking for him?"

"I heard from Luna that he accidentally offended you, and now he’s missing. Is he with you?" I asked.

"He’s not with me." Damon’s tone was slightly cold.

Steve’s not with him? Then who’s he with? I was a bit puzzled. Damon wouldn’t lie to me; he’s the type to openly admit to anything he does.

I was a bit dazed, and Damon reminded me, "Steve’s been in the business for many years, and I’m not the only one he’s offended. Do you think I’m that bad? Just because of a piece of gossip news, I’d grab him and beat him up?"

Well, not really, or Steve would have been beaten to death by Damon a long time ago.

"Okay, got it." I hung up after that.

I told Luna what Damon had said.

Over at Luna’s, I could hear the faint sound of a woman crying.

She quietly told me that Steve’s mom had found her house and had even knelt down on her floor asking for her help.

Luna was distressed, "How can I find Steve quickly? It takes time to find someone. I’m just worried that something bad might happen to him before

find him."

I never thought being a journalist would be such a risky job. There seemed to be a high possibility of pissing people off.

"All right, I’ll help you look for him. We live in a society with laws, no one would dare to harm him easily. I’ll keep you updated about any news about him." That’s all I could do.

"Okay, I’ve asked Mitch to look for Damon. Damon should have a way to solve this." Luna replied.

I believed Damon would definitely have a way. As long as he was willing to help find Steve, he would be much faster than us.

The question was whether he was willing to help. After all, most of his past scandals were revealed by Steve.
