Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 842

"Got it! Bro, I have to go now!"

Edgar had no interest in the drama surrounding Galen and the Harrison family. As soon as he hung up, Sherilyn emerged from the back room, looking even more exhausted than before.

"Sherilyn!"

Edgar was grateful for the timing of the call. No amount of comforting words could surpass the news he was about to deliver.

"My brother just called. There's news about Galen!"

"Really?"

Sherilyn paused, disbelief etched on her face. "Where... where is he?"

"In Ivy Hollow!"

"Ivy Hollow?"

Sherilyn blinked, then realization hit her. "That's where my grandmother's place is!"

"Seems like this lead is reliable!"

"Yeah!" Sherilyn nodded vigorously. "How could I not have thought of it? Malvina must have taken Galen there..."

With that, she turned to head back to her room.

"Sherilyn, what are you doing?"

Confused, she looked back. "I'm going to change. We have to get to Ivy Hollow, right?"

"No need!"

Edgar grabbed her arm, shaking his head. "I'll go. You stay here with Jenna. I promise I'll bring Galen back safe and sound."

"But..."

"No buts." Edgar frowned, attempting to provoke her. "Don't you trust me?"

"Of course, I do!"

He had promised to help her last night, and now, by morning, there was already news. How could she not trust him?

"Then it's settled."

Edgar smiled reassuringly. "You stay here with Jenna. I'll head to Ivy Hollow and bring Galen back. Trust me?"

"...Okay."

After considering her options, Sherilyn nodded. "Alright, thank you."

"I'm off then."

The one who had taken the Harrisons' money, now betraying Malvina, nodded vigorously.

"Right here!"

But Nolan and his team had searched the place inside and out, finding no sign of Galen.

"Mr. Nine, he's not here!"

Gilbert's sharp gaze landed on the informant. "Are you playing games with me?"

"No, sir!" The man was visibly terrified, shaking his head frantically. "I swear, I left him here!"

In his panic, he spilled everything.

"Malvina paid me and gave me some drugs to slip into his food. He was out cold after eating, and we had him tied up... Where could he go?"

"Mr. Nine." A bodyguard reported, "We found broken pottery pieces inside..."

It was likely Galen had been fed sedatives, making him drowsy but not entirely unconscious.

Perhaps thinking of Jenna's surgery, Galen must have broken the bowl, used the shards to cut the ropes, and, despite his weakened state, made an escape.

Gilbert suppressed the rising fury within. "He couldn't have gone far. Spread out, search!"

"Yes, Mr. Nine!"
