Chapter 120: Chapter 117 Bad News
"But didn’t you say that woman’s father is from the Ministry of Health?"
Charles Pond hesitated upon hearing this.
"That was before. She and her father have just severed their father-daughter relationship." freёnovelkiss.com
Amelia Willow had heard this from Sister Sophie Parker.
"Alright, I’ll go make a call right away."
Charles Pond nodded.
This day, thanks to the advertising effect of Old Lady Pond, the clinic was busy all day long.
When the clinic closed, Abigail Long was stunned by the day’s revenue.
"So much money?"
Abigail Long saw that the accounts had an extra one hundred thousand yuan.
Emily Parker thought, what’s the big deal.
The amount she charges for acupuncture isn’t low, although it’s not like yesterday with Old Lady Pond, where a single patient brought in one hundred thousand yuan, but still, several thousands to ten thousand is typical.
At first, Abigail Long thought the elderly patients wouldn’t be able to accept these prices when she told them, but to her surprise, they didn’t care about the money at all.
"Starting tomorrow, I can only diagnose in the morning and treat in the afternoon, or else it’ll be too busy."
Emily Parker was still pregnant, and after a whole day, she felt somewhat tired; she certainly couldn’t overexert herself and risk the baby.
Both were getting ready to close up when Maria Carter ran in, her face deathly pale.
Panting, she said,
"Emily, something’s wrong.
Do you have a way to contact Faye Manor?"
Emily Parker saw her pale complexion and nodded.
The last time at the restaurant, Faye Manor was persistent and finally added Emily Parker on WeChat.
"Then please contact Faye Manor for me quickly.
Liliana may be in trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, several other girls also rushed in, all of them looking anxious.
Upon questioning them, Emily Parker learned that something had indeed happened.
Liliana Manor had not succeeded at the last model audition, and this afternoon she skipped class to attend a specially arranged one.
With the monthly exams approaching, Liliana didn’t want her friends to skip class with her, so she went alone.
To reassure Maria Carter and the others, she kept in touch with them along the way.
But half an hour ago, Liliana Manor suddenly went silent.
As soon as class ended, Maria Carter hurriedly called her, only to find that Liliana Manor’s phone was turned off.
"This Liliana Manor really is relentless until she hits a dead end."
Emily Parker shook her head, having known that with Liliana Manor’s temperament, trouble was inevitable at some point.
Emily Parker quickly got in touch with Faye Manor.
Upon hearing the news, Faye Manor nearly panicked and said he would immediately contact the police.
"What should we do?
Liliana won’t be in danger, will she?"
While waiting for news from the police, Maria Carter and her friends were filled with remorse.
It was their first time encountering such a situation.
Soon, Faye Manor called back.
The situation reported by the police wasn’t optimistic; Liliana Manor’s phone was switched off.
The police were tracking the vehicles Liliana Manor might have taken.
Such tracking would take some time.
"Let’s go check out City First Middle School."
Emily Parker took several people to the school’s surveillance room, where the security guard immediately pulled up the footage.
On the video, Liliana Manor got into a taxi.
Emily Parker saw the license plate number, took out her phone, and softly said, as Maria Carter and the others didn’t know what to do,
"Found it. The taxi last stopped at Orchid Garden Hotel."
Maria Carter was dumbfounded; how did Emily Parker know when even the police hadn’t found anything?
At that moment, in a suite at Orchid Garden Hotel, Liliana Manor’s face was filled with terror.
She was left in only her underwear, while several sleazy-looking men stood next to her taking photos with their cell phones.
Her hands and feet were tied, and there was tape over her mouth.
Tears were in her eyes, and she couldn’t believe that her boyfriend, who had been so attentive to her before, turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
