Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

The next morning, Nevaeh went straight to Carroll Group after getting ready. She heard the news that Sion’s little girl had gone missing and he was searching for her everywhere. This was a stroke of luck for her.

The troublemaker who stood between her and Sion had finally left, and she could take this opportunity to comfort him. So on this day, she dressed up carefully and walked into the building.

When Sion saw her walk into the office, he instinctively frowned.

“Why are you here?” asked he.

“I…” Nevaeh felt wronged when she saw his cold attitude. She pursed her lips and said, “I heard that Morgan is missing. I just wanted to ask how your search is going?”

“Not found yet. But I’ll handle it. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Nevaeh was secretly happy when she heard this but looked worried on the surface as she tried to console him, “Don’t worry too much; everything will be alright with that little girl.”

Sion raised his eyebrows slightly in response but didn’t say anything else.

“Did she get lost alone?” Nevaeh put on a worried look since he didn’t respond earlier, “She’s such a small child wandering around out there. Who knows how much hardship she has faced…”

As Nevaeh spoke these words, she failed to notice that the man’s expression became increasingly annoyed.

“If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me because I also like that child very much.” Nevaeh continued to say.

Sion took a deep breath before coldly rejecting her offer, “If there isn’t anything else you need help with, then please leave here.”

After last night, he became even more distant towards Nevaeh now than ever before. Even basic communication seemed unnecessary except for their shared history as classmates.

Nevaeh bit down on her lip while looking unwillingly at him: “Sion… I just want to show my concern for you.”

“Sion, I’m caring about you.” Nevaeh pouted.

“And last night you just left me behind…” Her voice choked up as tears welled up in her eyes, “Don’t you think I’ll be hurt by you?”

Sion paused briefly while holding onto some documents before raising an eyebrow in her direction.

“You should know why.” Sion blurted. He was completely indifferent towards seeing through all of Neveah’s pitiful attempts now, only giving one glance at best before returning down again.

“I still have work left.” Said he.

Having someone like herself around would only affect his productivity negatively. Upon hearing this, Nevaeh’s heart sank and she felt as if the connection between them was slowly crumbling. She could sense his cold attitude to her, which was conspicuous enough.

Suddenly, she had an idea and quickly tried to salvage the situation by saying, “When I was abroad before, I knew a talented computer expert. Maybe my friend can help. Do you want me to contact him?”

Upon hearing this, Sion stopped what he was doing and looked up at her.

“A computer expert?”

His eyes darkened as he thought about the day Morgan disappeared. The surveillance cameras in their neighbourhood happened to malfunction during that period. If Nevaeh knew a computer expert, there might be a chance of fixing it. Seemingly moved by this news, Sion’s expression softened from its previous coldness to his usual demeanour.

“That would be great if you could help me out.”

Seeing his relaxed expression made Nevaeh happy. It seemed like that little girl couldn’t be found after all; otherwise, Sion wouldn’t have accepted her help. She smiled contentedly before turning around to leave.

In the elevator, just as the doors closed shut behind her back, she looked towards Sion’s office with a dark gaze.

She never knew any computer experts; nor had she expected to help him look for that girl. She hated the girl so much. She only said those words just now so that Sion would be gentle to her.

For Nevaeh, it made no sense that she had loved him wholeheartedly for so many years but he couldn’t see it at all.

Nevaeh walked out of Carroll Group and turned around for one last look at the towering skyscraper before getting into her car, where an idea suddenly popped into her mind causing her to dial a number.

It was Aurora’s turn next.

She sneered coldly while speaking over the phone line, “Hey, Karen.”

Karen had just come out of work, holding an empty coffee cup in hand and feeling good when she heard Nevaeh’s call.

“Nevaeh! What brings you calling me?”

Albie drank coffee made by Karen earlier so now Karen felt pretty good about herself. Nevaeh chuckled lightly before replying, “I was thinking since we haven’t seen each other since returning home from abroad, why don’t we grab lunch together today? I’m almost near your company anyways.”

“Okay!” Karen agreed without much thought, “Wait for me a moment, I’ll be done soon.”

“Good.” Nevaeh hung up the phone and her smile instantly disappeared.

The area around Albie’s company was already a commercial district with plenty of restaurants. The two of them casually arranged to meet at one and arrived at the entrance almost simultaneously.

Nevaeh and Karen chatted and joked as they sat down, ordered their food, and talked about work-related matters while catching up on each other’s recent lives.

“I’m so annoyed! Albie had the nerve to propose to that woman openly. He didn’t even consider me!” Karen became angry as she spoke, “I already recognized his father as his future daughter-in-law!”

Nevaeh poured her a glass of water and handed it over.

“Don’t worry about it. She’s just a clown jumping around. You’re the real future, Mrs Doyle.”

Karen took a sip of water with wide eyes and angrily said, “That’s right! What does that woman have? Does she even deserve him?”

She knew Aurora looked difficult to deal with but she was just a designer after all. She had someone investigate her background. Both parents of Aurora were deceased and there weren’t even any living relatives left in her family.

“That bitch doesn’t even weigh herself properly!” Karen thought to herself.

“That’s right! She deserves nothing. But…” Nevaeh looked hesitant.

“What is it?” Karen couldn’t help but ask after waiting for only one moment, “Are you hiding something from me?”

“It’s nothing…” Nevaeh took another sip of water before saying hesitantly, “I told you not to think too much about it.”

“I just saw Aurora holding flowers happily two days ago. It might not necessarily be sent by Mr Doyle though.” Said Nevaeh.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What?! Albie hasn’t given up yet?! He sent flowers to her?”

Karen confirmed what Nevaeh suspected without a second thought, which made her huff, “No way! I have to go find out what happened between them.”

Nevaeh flickered an evil glint in her eyes before quickly changing back into concern, “Karen don’t act impulsively! If you go find Aurora now and make things public knowledge, Mr Doyle will be unhappy when he finds out.”

“What should I do then?!”
