Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call

Chapter 256 Where Is Anastasia?

Chapter 256 Where Is Anastasia?

News of this incident reached the Graves family soon, hitting them like a bolt from the blue sky. Baxter fainted several times, looking extremely pale.

Derek mobilized considerable people to investigate the situation.

Amanda, surprisingly calm for once, accompanied Derek to the hospital where Christian was. The floor where Christian was located had multiple layers of security.

He had yet to regain consciousness, and people from the Patterson family took turns to visit him. After all, his situation was tied to the interests of the Patterson Group.

When Lamia first laid eyes on Derek, she assumed he was there for a casual visit and didn't raise any objections.

However, her demeanor shifted when she caught sight of Amanda. After a brief moment of surprise, she greeted them with a polite and warm smile.

"Mrs. Amanda Graves and Mr. Derek Graves are here together? Thank you so much for coming, but unfortunately, Christian hasn't awakened yet," she said.

Christian was staying in a suite. Generally, visitors didn't disturb him when they came to check on his condition. Amanda's expression was grim, making it hard for her to smile. She glanced at Emma sitting there, and her eyes flashed. "We're deeply saddened by what's happened, but where is Anastasia?” Amanda asked.

Emma involuntarily shuddered at the mention of Anastasia's name as if it were a reflexive reaction.

Having spent a long time maneuvering in the business world, Derek had learned to insinuate.

He smiled casually and lightened the atmosphere.

"Mrs. Lamia Patterson, my mom is concerned about Anastasia's whereabouts. She attended Mr. Patterson's invitation, but why hasn't she returned?" Derek inquired.

The mention of Anastasia brought Lamia a feeling of bad luck.

She thought Anastasia might be dead and was practically ready to celebrate. Why would they still be wasting resources searching for her at sea?

Lamia promptly urged James to withdraw the rescue team.

She rolled her eyes and retorted, "Who knows? They say she accidentally fell into the sea. It was bad luck! We dispatched teams to search the sea for several days, and the search cost was like pouring money into a pit. We never imagined she would die right here under our noses. Moreover, that cruise ship was a recent acquisition. How are we going to use it now?"

Her concerns seemed solely centered around material possessions.

Amanda's complexion grew increasingly grim, and she exclaimed, "You dismiss a human life so casually? You have quite the audacity!"

"Mrs. Amanda Graves, what do you mean by that? We didn't want this to happen, either!" Lamia responded defensively.

She had always harbored some resistance toward Amanda, perhaps because once she looked down upon Amanda, but now she was far behind her.

From Amanda's perspective, Lamia had never treated her with full respect. Although Amanda was here to visit Christian, Lamia wasn't satisfied with her attitude. Amanda paid her no further attention to Lamia and walked toward Emma.

She gazed at Emma and said gently, "Ms. Emma Patterson, Anastasia once donated you beebage mdr Boyou reiariber? Jaxon is missing, too. What has happened to them? You were on that cruise ship then, so you must know what transpired, right?" Please read the original content at .Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Amanda's questions pierced Emma deeply. Her eyes welled up instantly, and she began to tremble uncontrollably, burying her face in her arms.

She bit her lower lip tightly, unable to utter a word.

She refused to relive those unforgettable moments, and nightmares would haunt her for the rest of her life. Amanda grew increasingly anxious.
