Chapter 2777 After scolding Dan, Tine left the storeroom. As she was at the end of the hallway, she tried calling Denise again.
Like before, she thought no one would pick up the phone. However, the call strangely got through this time.
Finally, there was a place for Tina to vent her anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Denise, why didn't you pick up my calls? The maid in the mansion had told me that everything went as planned. Why—" “This is Steven.” Alow, deep male voice rang out before Tina could continue. “Denise is asleep. I'll be keeping her phone from now on. Mrs. Howard, | already know everything that happened today.” He paused for a while before continuing to talk remotely, “Denise is my sister, not a tool for you to use to fight for your games. She'll no longer contact you or be related to you from now on. | also hope that you'll never contact her anymore. She's a pure-hearted girl that'll trust everything you say, so I'll never let her contact you people anymore.” After that, Steven hung up the phone.
As Tina listened to the busy dial tone from her phone, she squinted her eyes. ‘So Steven had stuck his nose in this matter. That explains it." No wonder Denise did not contact her even after the plan succeeded.
Tina paused and thought for a while. After that, she made another call. This time, the person she called was Kate.
Truth be told, she had another plan today. To avoid attention, she looked for Kate to help her.
“Hello.” The call got through.
“Did you succeed, Ms. Miller?” asked Tina hastily. “Is Riley—" “No.” Kate's voice was cold. “When we got to the hospital, the child was gone.” Tina was disappointed to hear that, her eyebrows furrowed at the news. However, she was relentless. “Are you pulling my leg now, Ms. Miller? Isn't the doctor of the kid a member of your medical organization? With that doctor around, how could that child go missing? She's just a few months old, and she can't run off on her own.”
The child was her last resort to fight with Thomas. Originally, she thought Denise had succeeded, so she did not need to lay her hand on the child.
The current predicament, however, made her turn to her last resort.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer surprise was imminent when she was informed the child was gone.
“Well, of course the child can't walk on her own, but someone else can carry her,” Kate answered without caring much about it. “Aunt Tina, I'll find out who took the child away as soon as I'm free, but you know I'm currently very busy. | still don't know how to settle Steven yet, so please stop bugging me about this.” Atter that, Kate hung up the phone apathetically.
Tina furrowed her brow vehemently as she listened to the busy dial tone on the phone.
Before her plan took place today, Kate had always been very supportive to the point that she was the one who arranged for the doctor from her family's medical organization to treat Riley so they could monitor the infant all the time.
Tina would have never thought about using Riley to threaten Thomas and Yannie had Kate not brought it up. However...
Tina closed her eyes. It seemed that even Kate knew that the person the old geezer cared about the most was Thomas.
She needed to prioritize killing the old geezer into her agenda. It could not be delayed any longer.
After Kate hung up the phone, she cocked up her head and looked at Steven who was sitting in the chair in front of her. “Happy?”
