Chapter 498 Exact Revenge On Her

At Nova Residences, after hanging up the phone, Lenora set her phone aside. She flipped the food in the pan a

couple of times before covering it with the lid. Recalling Zachary's words from earlier, she walked to the door and

locked it from the inside.

As she passed by the living room window, she opened it and cast her gaze downward for a moment.

By this time, the sky had already darkened, casting a hazy, grey veil over the land.

On the street outside the apartment complex below, cars were constantly coming and going. The streetlights on

either side were casting a hazy glow.

In the distance, every household in Jacaster had their lights on, giving shape to the beautiful night scenery.

From Lenora's perspective, there was a van parked not far from the entrance of the residential area.

Thankfully, there are no traffic police around. Otherwise, that van will surely be ticketed.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she saw the van start to move. It followed a black sedan,

disappearing into the underground parking lot of the complex. Without giving it much thought, Lenora closed the

window and returned to the kitchen. She lifted the lid of the pan and gave it a couple of stirs.

Unbeknownst to her, a few minutes later, the black sedan left the residential area. Shortly after, the van also

exited the area, speeding off in a different direction. Lenora noticed that the ribs were nearly done and the sauce

had reduced perfectly. She peeled a few scallions, washed them thoroughly, and chopped them finely. Somehow,

she had a moment of unease. Her knife slipped and cut into her finger, causing blood to gush out.

Lenora suddenly thought of something. She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Sophia's number.

A cold, mechanical voice could be heard. "Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable..."

A pang of unease struck Lenora's heart. She immediately hung up and dialed Zephyr's number.

This time, the ringtone sounded for a few seconds before the call was answered.

Immediately, Lenora asked, "Zephyr, is Soph with you?"

"| just dropped her off at your underground parking lot. Hasn't she gone up yet?"

"No, something might have happened to Soph. I can't leave the house right now. You need to cback

immediately. I'm having the property management pull up the surveillance." Lenora didn't have tto

elaborate. "No matter what you encounter on the way, don't get involved. Just cstraight back."

"Okay."

A flicker of worry flashed in Zephyr's eyes, and he immediately swung the car around.

Previously, Lenora had hidden a photo of him and Alice from Sophia for the sake of Zachary, which had not

endeared her to Zephyr.

Later, when Zephyr found out that Lenora had broken their agreement and sent the pictures to Sophia, his

regard for her diminished even further.

However, this also indicated the importance Sophia held in Lenora's eyes.

She wouldn't have said these things to him without a reason.

Lenora dialed the property management staff's number.

The residents of this community were either wealthy or influential. The property management services were

thorough, and the staff was exceptionally courteous. "Ms. Wilkin, how may we assist you?"

"About ten minutes ago, | lost a bangle in the underground parking lot. It's worth fifty thousand. I just went back

to look for it but couldn't find it. | suspect someone might have picked it up. Could you please check the

surveillance for me? I'll be right there." "All right, what were you wearing today?"

Recalling Sophia's outfit when she left, Lenora described, "A light green chiffon blouse on top, paired with a white

mini skirt and white high heels."

"All right, | understand. I'm going to access the surveillance footage now. As soon as | have any results, I'll let

you know immediately." "Okay."

After ending the call, Lenora called the two bodyguards to cover.

She turned off the gas, slipped into her shoes, and nervously sat on the couch, too scared to venture outside.

At first, she thought that Isla's intention of holding onto Zachary was to exact revenge on her.

However, she had been staying at hall the time, so she assumed everything was fine.

It took her a few minutes to realize that Isla wouldn't just seek revenge on her, but would also target Sophia as

well.

Isla probably held Zachary back, fearing she might seek his help.

Afraid that when Zephyr returned, he would be "rear-ended" and held back just like the last tshe went to the

police station, Lenora made a point to remind him.

However, Lenora was unsure about the accuracy of her own speculations and didn't dare to step outside.

What if someone was trying to lure her out, just waiting for her to step outside?

Roughly seven or eight minutes later, the staff member called Lenora back, her voice trembling despite her best

efforts to control it. "H-Hello, Ms. Wilkin... Your bangle has indeed been taken by someone. We couldn't see their

face clearly. Do you need us to call the police for you?" Sophia was indeed in trouble.

She had been taken away by someone.

The staff member assumed Lenora was the one who had been taken away. They suspected she was in a

dangerous situation and communication would be difficult, so they continued to hint at her using the same

excuse as before.

"I'm fine. The one in the light green chiffon blouse is my friend, Sophia. You should call the police first."

Upon hearing this, the staff member finally found the courage to speak up. "All right, I'll call the police right

away."

Before the call ended, Lenora faintly heard the staff member speaking to the police. "I'm an employee of Nova

Residences.property management just saw on the underground parking lot

fo Surveillance that someone

forcibly dragged a female resident into a silver-grey van. They headed east on Goldlock Road. This is urgent... All

right, I've saved your

number... I've sent the footage..."

After the staff member had called the police, Lenora requested, "Could you please share a copy of the

surveillance footage with me, as well as the contact number of the police officer?" "Sure."

Upon receiving the surveillance footage, Lenora immediately forwarded it to Zephyr, then dialed his number.

"Have you arrived yet?"

"Almost."

Zephyr's voice echoed from the speakerphone.

"Soph was taken into a van. You should head east along Goldlock Road to follow them. I've sent the surveillance

footage to your phone the police are already accessing the roadside cameras.” Lenora then handed him the

police officer's phone number. "Contact him. This

might have something to do with

Isla."

"All right, | understand."

A moment of seriousness flashed in Zephyr's eyes as he hung up the phone. While driving, he pulled up the

surveillance footage sent by Lenora and quickly reviewed it.

Two individuals dragged Sophia into the van, while a third person served as the driver.

Zephyr dialed the phone number given by Lenora and explained the situation to the police officer on the other

end, hoping to obtain the results of their surveillance investigation. The police officer said, "It's too risky. Don't go

after them yourself. We've already dispatched units."

"Don't worry, | won't act recklessly. The person they took is my fiancée. | must save her."

"No way, you might just end up putting both yourself and the victim in danger."

Zephyr immediately hung up the phone, dialed another number, and said, "Christine, hack Isla's phone, retrieve

her last five contact numbers, and locate them. I'll give you five minutes." "Five minutes? Isn't that too short?" A

mournful voice echoed from the other end of the phone.

"Three minutes."

All right, five minutes. I'm on it!"

Five minutes later, Christine had the results. "Among Elia's recent five contacts, one is in Fairlake, which |

presisn't what you're interested in. The most recent one is at Jacaster City Hospital, followed by Pearl Road

Flour Mill in Jacaster, the city council compound, and Goldlock Road..."

Several locations were mentioned, and Zephyr noted a few unfamiliar terms like "Pearl Road" and "flour mill." He

immediately turned right at the upcoming intersection, heading toward Pearl Road.
