Chapter 43 Yes, They Have News About Me 

“Hmm? They have news about me?” 

1 froze in place, confused. My body had been shredded into pieces and turned into a sculpture. What could they possibly have found out? 

Luke looked unusually happy. His eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked, “Where is Chloe?” 

“During the time Mrs. Bolton disappeared, over 30 women went missing at the same time across various regions. Smuggled abroad by sea, they have already left the country. It’s highly likely that Mrs. Bolton is among them.” 

Luke knitted his brows and asked, “So it’s still not confirmed?” 

“No, not yet. Recently these foreign fraudsters have been getting bolder, and their actions have been attracting the attention of higher–ups. They’ve temporarily stopped their operations, so the women who were taken can’t be exposed. Stanley has contacted the leaders abroad. They’ve made a request, Mr. Bolton, you’ll need to go personally to identify them.” 

Roy added. “By the way, Stanley also brought some good news. Mrs. Bolton might not have been harmed. This group of women traveled by sea, which takes much longer than land routes, and along the way, they encountered a tsunami. That delay meant they had just been brought to the Scam Center when Stanley made contact. It’s a stroke of luck in the midst of misfortune.” 

Luke’s frown eased as he let out a sigh of relief. 

“Alright. Send Stanley some money to keep things under control there. Whatever amount is needed, I’ll cover it. Just make sure Chloe isn’t harmed. I’ll head over to bring her back immediately.” 

“Understood. 

“But Mr. Bolton, the company has piled up a lot of work lately. You haven’t been focused enough to handle it. If you need to leave, you’ll have to take care of your business first.” 

“Tll head back to the office now.” 

Luke hung up the phone. His energy suddenly renewed, as if he’d been injected with adrenaline. The exhaustion that had once been on his face now carried a hint of color. 

He placed our photo on the bedside table. 

The soft sunlight bathed the vibrant bouquet of roses, and the picture frame rested in the shadow of the flowers. 

This wasn’t our wedding photo. It was from years ago, back when no one had intervened in our relationship. 

At that time, we smiled, carefree, with no worries in our hearts. 

But deep down, I knew his hopes would ultimately be shattered. 

This time, he wouldn’t be able to bring me back.

Chapter 43 Yes, They Have News About Me 

Luke returned to the company, tackling business with greater determination than before. 

Even when it was late into the night, he was still in meetings, working nonstop without a moment of rest. 

It wasn’t until two in the morning that Roy brought in a late–night snack. 

Luke was enjoying his favorite Cajun boil and some pastries. After taking a bite, he paused. 

“Is something wrong, Mr. Bolton? Did it get cold? I can beat it up again.” 

“No.” 

Luke stared at the brightly colored porridge for a long me. Finally, with pursed lips, he said, “Chloe knew I had stomach issues. She used to regularly prepare comforting meals for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed her cooking. 

I remembered how much he loved the seafood grits cooking from Salted Sailor’s, so I spent money to buy the recipe and learned it from the owner for half a month. I loved him so much back then. 

Not only that, but I also searched for an elderly holistic doctor who could treat his stomach issues, cook him medicine, and bring him meals every day. 

His stomach steadily improved under my care. 

But later, he casually said he was tired of it and immediately turned to eat the food Anna had brought, even though his stomach could barely handle it. From that point on, I stopped caring for him. 

Luke stared at the spot where I had stood that night and said to Roy, ‘She was standing right here, full of joy, offering me her cooking, but I rejected her. 

“Mr. Bolton, you’ll find Mrs. Bolton soon.” Roy noticed that Luke’s emotions were unstable, his gaze drifting. He was worried about his boss. 

Luke continued, “Actually, that night when my stomach pain flared up, I found the medicine Chloe had left in the drawer for me. She was always thinking of me. Meanwhile, I selfishly put her in awkward situations just to chase a little novelty.” 

“Mr. Bolton, it’s all in the past now. You and your wife have built so many years of a strong relationship. No matter what has happened, she will surely forgive you.
