Chapter 675: A Grim Situation
He was the president of XL. If something happened to him now, it must have been because of an internal issue within the company, right?
But what kind of issue could be serious enough to keep him from contacting her?
Aurora knew exactly how deeply Everett loved her. Her instincts screamed at her—something major had happened.
"You said he hasn’t contacted you at all? Not even before?"
"He used to call me every day," Aurora said, her voice tight with worry. "He’d even video chat with me every night. But since yesterday, I haven’t been able to reach him. His phone’s off, and he’s disappeared from all the messaging apps!"
Aurora furrowed her brows tightly. Her grandfather and Jesse, who were nearby, overheard the conversation, and their expressions darkened.
Worry was written all over Aurora’s delicate face. She knew Everett—he would never just cut off contact like this. Something had definitely happened. He couldn’t reach her!
"Alright. I’ll ask around and see if I can dig up anything."
"Thanks. I’m going to call Mr. Nelson too, maybe he can get through to Everett."
After hanging up, Aurora immediately called Eric.
Normally, she would’ve called Ella, but since Ella was pregnant now, she hardly kept her phone close.
