Chapter 31: FINALLY, MEETING THEM
Arthur couldn’t understand how his daughter disappeared like that and no one knew where she had gone to. His and Arlo’s men had been looking for her for days, but there was not even the slightest sign of her whereabouts. It didn’t make sense.
If she were alive, she would need to use money to sustain her living situation wherever she was, but her money remained untouched. It was possible if she earned it by the deal under the table; still, it didn’t make sense for Arthur why she wanted to stay away from them all.
He could understand if River wanted to take revenge on both Arlo and Aubrey, because he knew his daughter well enough to tell that she was holding a grudge really well; but for her to give up and disappear, it didn’t make sense at all.
Arthur made a call. "Find out where Arlo and Aubrey were during the week the last time we saw River. I want to know everything: where they went, who they met, who they talked to on the phone, everything."
The other person assented to the order, and Arthur disconnected the call.
Right now, all Arthur could do was wait for any news about River. He was so angry, but also worried at the same time. If she were alive, she would have taken her revenge on Arlo and Aubrey. If she were alive... those were the key words here.
"No." Arthur shook his head. "She is the best in her field."
There was no way something like that could happen to her. There was no threat, and there was not even a sign that the enemy came after her; everything was fine. Everything was perfect.
"Where are you, River?" Arthur gritted his teeth; anger and worry were not a good mix. He felt like he wanted to scold that girl and simply hugged her.
When was the last time he hugged her?
