Chapter 1357
That night, she guarded the cat and talked to herself for a long time. After venting, Victoria's mood was really much better. Finally, she petted the cat and fed it some food before she went to bed.
Before she lay down, she did not forget to keep all her gifts to herself from the day in a small box with an automatic lock. Then she took out the signed credit cards one by one, sorted them out, and drew a pig's head next to Trevor's signature.
In the following two days, during her free time, she would take the cat out to stroll around and buy various items. Moreover, she found another use for the cat; to help her get rid of the abandoned fish soup. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Life was not bad, but it was not good either. However, every night, the surrounding atmosphere was quiet, and she would get a little sad.
If she didn't give up, she would have to continue her life! How could she break through the current deadlock? If she let go so easily, she would really lose completely.
That night, Victoria tossed and turned and for the first time, she clicked on someone's name countless times on her mobile phone.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and finally, the contract was signed officially. When they
returned home, Trevor also wanted to return home. On the way, he couldn't wait to go to the bathroom to call Victoria.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable..."
"She turned off her phone?"
"What's going on? Is it dead?"
The last time he knew that she returned early to Casterwich City, he wanted to contact her. However, at that time, Candice Cultural Corp's boss let her go. He was afraid that the chaos would be temporarily eased if he did not make it clear. He did not expect that she would be busy for a few days. Now he guessed that she was about to blow up.
He could understand her feelings more or less. Trevor leaned against the door and sighed. He took out a small box from his pocket. Inside was a small and exquisite necklace with a simple white gold chain. Only a little pearl was hung on it. The necklace was not expensive, and it was very simple. However, he felt that it was very suitable for her!
As he caressed the pearl on top of it, Trevor's lips curled up slightly. "You heartless little thing, alas, I'm also being humble...'
"I still remember you!"
After staying in the bathroom for a while and calling once again, Trevor turned around and went out, feeling empty in his heart.
Back to his seat, he closed his eyes slightly. From the look on his face and the mobile phone he was holding, Selena had vaguely guessed something, and her little hands under the black robe could not help but slightly clench...
When Trevor came in, it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon. He simply washed up and rested for a while. Then he called Victoria again. Still, the phone was still turned off.
"Weird, what's going on?"
Looking at the time and seeing that it was about time to get off work, Trevor ran to her studio at once. When he arrived at her office, he knew that Victoria did not come to work at all.
"She didn't come?"
Shocked, Trevor's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "When did she stop coming to work?"
Would she be so angry that she ran away from home?
"She didn't come today! Yesterday, she came. Miss Atlas said that something happened today, so she
really didn't come today. I don't know what's the matter, but she turned off her phone. I wanted to tell her that I have not gone through the settlement several times."
Trevor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you!"
Turning around, he quickly went out of the door. He must have thought too much!
On the way back, he went to a supermarket to buy some ingredients. He thought that he had been in a
cold war for so long and he was also wrong. He should take a step back!
When he got home, Trevor marinated the steak first, and then placed a bunch of tulips into the vase on the table. He was satisfied with the arrangement and took a deep breath.
"We've been in a cold war for so long. It's time to have a good talk!"
After a while, Trevor looked at his phone again and dialed her number again. "Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable..."
"What are you busy with? Why do you need to turn off your phone?"
He kept waiting in the dining room, and the color of the steak had changed. It was still quiet outside. Trevor suddenly couldn't sit still.
It was eight o'clock. Why was there no sign of her?
He couldn't get through to her mobile phone, and she was not at the store. Trevor was so anxious that he called everyone one by one.
When he called Caroline, he was scolded by her,
"You don't even know where your own wife is. Who are you asking? You only now remember to apologize.
If I were your sister-in-law, I would also be so angry that I'd run away from home!"
"Caroline, that's enough. There are some things that you don't understand! Do you know where she is? It's not the right time to talk about this!"
Trevor was in a hurry, and he was a little angry.
"What don't I understand? You've gone too far. I told you I don't know where she is! I really don't know. We're busy all the time. Why would I disturb her? Besides, Mom won't let me disturb you guys! Didn't you ask Alicia?"
Caroline was worried, and Trevor was even more upset. "I've asked. I haven't seen her for two days! I'm hanging up. I'll go ask around some more!"
After searching around, there was no news. Trevor was also puzzled. How did a living person disappear? When he went out, he happened to run into Aunt McGowan. He asked casually, "Aunt McGowan, when did Victoria leave today? Did she say where she was going?"
"What?"
Shaking her head, the maid was also stunned and said,
"She didn't come back yesterday. She said that she was going to work overtime and sleep in the studio. She told us not to wait for her and not to worry... She said that she will come back tonight!" "She didn't come back last night?"
In an instant, Trevor's face turned gloomy and he went out with his mobile phone.
Soon, someone switched on the surveillance and looked at it. Trevor was also dizzy. "She slept in the studio yesterday and left on her own in the morning? There wasn't anything unusual?"
Where was she?
When Trevor tracked her clues and found the police station, he saw a woman nestled in a corner of a holding room. She looked a little embarrassed and was holding a cat tightly in her arms.
As he took a step forward, Trevor's heart tightened. "Vicky?"
She had been inside for more than ten hours. No wonder her cell phone was dead. Why didn't she say anything? Why was she locked here pitifully and refused to let her family pick her up?
Seeing him, Victoria stood up with the cat in her arms and said nothing.
At this time, the person in charge hurried over while buttoning his shirt as he walked, as if he had just climbed up from somewhere.
"Master Trevor..."
Walking forward, the man first looked at Victoria, then turned his eyes to Trevor and explained,
"Master Trevor, we didn't want to detain her, but she was not willing to make peace with us. She refused
to pay or hand over the cat. She didn't tell us who she was or show her ID. We were so busy that we didn't even have time to investigate. That's it!"
"Cat?"
In a daze, Trevor's eyebrows furrowed. He thought, "The more he talks, the more dazed I become. Why did she get arrested over a cat?"
"It's like this! A lady reported that she
stole her precious cat and refused to return it. The cat is precious and worth thousands of dollars! You know, it's a severe crackdown period now. Stealing and fighting. The price of the case is too high for us to deal with carefully. But the lady also said that she bought the cat from a pet shop. Both of them have a certificate and they both refuse to give up. That pet shop is closed today. We couldn't contact the boss. We don't know who is right. Besides, both of them are not willing to give up the cat. As the accused, she refused to negotiate and reached a stalemate, so there is a stalemate until now! It's just a cat. We really don't want to detain her. We won't recommend making a case. We hope they can come to an agreement!"
"Both said that the cat belonged to them and they're both right about it. We can't prove it at the moment. We want to wait for the owner of the pet store to come back and deal with it, but the owner won't get in touch with us. She doesn't want to hand the cat to us for the time being, so..."
While explaining, the person in charge was anxious and sweating, afraid that Trevor couldn't understand.
"Isn't it just a cat?"
Did she stay at the police station because of a cat? Trevor pondered over Victoria. "She could afford anything she wanted no matter the price. Was this necessary?"
From his tone, Victoria could hear his meaning; Everything could be settled with money!
Pursing her red lips, she glared at him. "I bought it, and now it's my cat! I have the final say how to deal with it!"
No one could force her to return it, and no one could force her to sell it! She wanted this one, and she would not sell it! Four thousand dollars was four thousand dollars! She liked four thousand dollars, and she liked this cat!
As their eyes met, Trevor immediately understood the stubbornness and warning in her eyes! Seeing that she hugged the cat tightly like a naughty child, Trevor suddenly had a realization. Was she doing this on purpose? No matter how much she usually liked things, she would not haggle over them. What was going on this time?
After some reflection, he also roughly guessed that she was in a bad mood!
Moreover, she should be reasonable.
So she would rather stay here silently than bow down or look for him. She must be angry with him She would rather be wronged here than to speak to him. If he did not
come here that day, she would
probably stay here and wait!
And her expression already said everything. He was not allowed to use money to solve the problem, and
she would not give away the cat!
She made it clear that she was deliberately giving him a hard time. She might not care whether he would help her or not, but she was so stubborn that he was not allowed to touch her!
He understood what she meant!
