Chapter 199: Accusation
Tony’s heart skipped a beat as his phone finally rang, the screen displaying Olivia’s name. With trembling fingers, he answered the call, relief flooding through him like a tidal wave.
"Hello?" Tony said, his voice tinged with urgency and concern.
On the other end of the line, Olivia’s voice came through, cool and nonchalant. "Hey, Tony," she greeted casually, as if unaware of the panic that had gripped him moments before.
Tony’s brow furrowed in frustration as he struggled to contain his emotions. "Olivia, where have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you for a while now" he exclaimed, his words rushed and breathless.
There was a pause on the other end of the line, followed by a dismissive chuckle from Olivia. "Relax, Tony," she said, her tone dripping with indifference. "I was just tied up with some business. Nothing for you to worry about."
But Tony’s worry refused to be quenched so easily. "But what about Abby?" he pressed, his voice pleading for reassurance.
Again, Olivia’s response was infuriatingly casual. "Abby’s fine," she replied, her tone bordering on boredom. "She’s with me. We’re just taking care of a few things."
Remo’s hand shot out, snatching the phone from Tony’s grasp before he could react. With a steely glare, he brought the device to his ear, his patience wearing thin with each passing moment.
"Abby," Remo’s voice was firm, commanding, as he addressed Olivia on the other end of the line. "Let me speak to her. Now."
