Chapter 664 Here Comes Veronica (27)
Edwin's words made Veronica, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, nervous again.
Yes, what Edwin said was very possible.
After all, Stella was drugged. Rex was a terrible person and a lecher. He must have given Stella some kind of aphrodisiac. If Stella was taken away by another man in that situation...
If it was Rex who took Stella away, Veronica and the others could go to him directly because they knew it was him. But if it wasn't Rex, they couldn't know who it was because there were so many people. Veronica had originally thought that she could find Stella very soon. But now, the place was so big, and there were so many people. Veronica didn't know where to find Stella.
Because there was no news about Stella, Veronica was hard hit, and her body trembled violently.
She said in her mind, 'Stella, Stella...'
Afraid that Veronica would fall, Raymond, who was standing beside Veronica, held her in time to prevent her from falling.
Raymond turned to look at Edwin, who was beside him. "Ask people to investigate the guests immediately. See if there is any trace of Ms. Bruno."
"But the guests..."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
The guests who came were all either rich or noble. It wasn't good to offend any of them. Moreover, even if a guest took Stella away, he would only sleep with her and wouldn't hurt her. It was possible that in the future, Stella might even become that guest's lover.
If Edwin went to investigate those guests now, he would offend those guests.
Edwin wanted to say something. But seeing that Raymond's expression suddenly became gloomy, he did not dare to say anything. Edwin nodded repeatedly. "Alright, I'll let people investigate the guests who came today."
After all, Edwin would rather offend anyone else than offend Raymond.
He immediately gave the order to look for Stella.
But at that moment, when Veronica kept calling Stella, Stella finally answered the phone.
"Ver... Veronica!"
Hearing the voice on the phone, Veronica was so excited. She immediately asked, "Stella, where are you? Tell me. Where are you now?"
"I ... I don't know. Are you here? I ... I have waited for you... for so long!"
"I'm here. Are you still in the villa?"
"Yes, I'm still here. They... they didn't find me and left."
...
Hearing that Stella was still in the villa and had not been found, Veronica was very happy.
"Okay. Wait for me. I'll go find you right away. Stay there and don't go anywhere. Tell me what you can see so that I'll know where you are."
However, after Veronica finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
Veronica called Stella again, but the phone wasn't answered.
When Veronica called Stella, Raymond told Edwin to look for Stella in the villa.
Because Stella didn't answer the phone, Veronica grabbed Raymond's arm anxiously. "Stella called and said she is still in the villa, but she couldn't tell her exact position." Raymond patted the back of Veronica's hand. "Don't worry. As long as she is still in the villa, we will be able to find her soon."
Veronica nodded.
At that moment, she was completely dependent on Raymond and felt that he was the only person she could trust.
Then, Edwin and the people of the Walker family started searching for Stella.
After searching for a full 20 minutes, the servants of the Walker family searched through the entire villa but still could not find Stella. Veronica was worried. Though her ankle was sprained, she kept looking for Stella in the villa.
As time passed, Veronica's heart was beating rapidly. She was worried.
Veronica thought, "Stella, where the hell are you? Let us find you."
As everyone was nervously searching, suddenly a scream came from the villa. "She is here! She is here!"
Hearing that, Veronica was overjoyed and quickly followed the voice.
The place where the voice came from was the washroom.
Veronica was close to the washroom. She turned a corner and arrived.
But another person was faster than Veronica.
Veronica saw that the first to enter was Edwin.
She walked in after Edwin.
There was a layer of cabinets for trash in the bottom of the sink. Stella was squeezed together with the trash. One had to move the trash away. Otherwise, the person hiding inside couldn't be found. Stella's body was covered with dirt, and she looked extremely miserable.
However, what was more shocking was Stella's appearance.
It was probably because the drug in her body started to work. Her clothes were practically ripped by Stella herself.
She was lying there, almost unconscious, but she was constantly humming.
Stella was found by a maid. The maid stood aside and did not know what to do.
Edwin walked over. He decisively took off his coat and covered Stella's body with it before he carried her up.
Being held, Stella, who was almost unconscious just now, suddenly woke up and struggled violently in Edwin's arms.
"Don't touch me. Let me go. Let me go!"
Stella thought that she was caught by the person who drugged her. She lost control. While struggling, Stella accidentally slapped Edwin in the face.
Because Stella struggled, Edwin almost threw Stella to the ground by accident.
Veronica limped over to Edwin and held Stella's hand.
"Stella, it's me. I'm Veronica. I'm here."
Stella heard Veronica's voice and tilted her head in a daze to look at Veronica. "Veronica, you're here. You finally came."
"Yes, it's me!" Seeing Stella's miserable state, Veronica cried. Tears rolled down her face. "You are safe now. I will take you to leave right now." "Okay," Stella replied softly.
Stella stopped struggling, and Edwin successfully brought Stella out of the bathroom.
After a while, Stella was brought to a guest room. Edwin placed Stella on the bed and covered her with the quilt. The doctor came at that moment. Raymond came with the doctor.
Before coming, the doctor already knew what had happened. After entering the room, he checked Stella's condition and confirmed the symptoms. Then, the doctor injected Stella with medicine. After the injection, the doctor said, "One minute after the injection, this young lady's body will slowly return to normal. The effect of the drug in her body will disappear in half an hour."
