Chapter 250: She is missing.
Theodore had just finished the formalities at the police station when he received Hugo’s call, informing him about Bella’s accident. His mind went blank when he heard that Tristan was dead.
"What about Bella?" he asked, his voice shaking. "Tell me she survived the accident."
Hugo let out a deep sigh and replied, "She is missing."
Theodore fell silent for a moment; the revelation left him reeling from shock. "What do you mean by missing?"
"The police only found Tristan’s body in the car, but there was no sign of Madam Bella," Hugo explained. "Her phone was recovered from the wrecked car. The cops believe that someone may have taken her to the hospital. We’re looking for her. Perhaps she survived the accident. Maybe her treatment is going on somewhere."
"Find her," Theodore growled. "I want her safe."
Hugo paused before adding grimly, "Something is alarming. It appears that the accident was planned. The cops retrieved nails from the road, which punctured the tires and caused the car to lose control. Sadly, there is no surveillance camera in this area. So we can’t tell what might have happened."
Theodore’s eyes blazed with a mix of rage and anxiety. He was worried about Bella and at the same time, he was furious as he realized Claudia and Keith might have been behind the accident.
"I am sure it’s Claudia," he growled. "Find Bella before it’s too late."
"Mr. Reid, I don’t think Claudia is behind this," Hugo said cautiously.
