After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 269

Chapter 269 She must be found somehow!

What’s wrong with Natalie? Why wasn’t she answering her phone?

Tory looked puzzled.

Without giving up, he pressed the dial button again.

Maybe Natalie was busy, so she didn’t hear the phone ring.

But as before, the phone still rang for a long time, and no one answered.

Then came the robotic female voice, “The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for

the moment, please redial later.”

This time, Tory suddenly noticed the content of the robot female voice… Cannot be

connected for the moment

It’s probably not just a matter of her not hearing the phone ring.

Did something happen to Natalie?

As soon as the idea popped into Tory’s head, he immediately blew it off.

No way.

This was a formal medical exchange conference, where the screening of personnel was extremely strict.

The party was to be attended by all the great and noble families of New York, and no one was going to be tempted to do anything bad.

Tory stood where he was, his thick, sharp brow wrinkled slightly.

At the very least, even if someone got into this conference, why would they target Natalie?

Natalie usually kept a low profile. Although she was born in the Spears family, she never took herself as Miss Spears. Even many people in New York did not know her existence.

If she’s laying low like this, how could someone hurt Natalie?

It didn’t make any sense.

Many possibilities were floated in the man’s mind one by one, but the man was denied all

of them.

What could be the reason for that?

Tory pursed his lips. He pressed the dial button repeatedly, as if expecting Natalie to get

on the line.

He repeated it about a dozen times, but she was still disconnected.

Now Tory was really freaking out.

With his cell phone in his hand, he turned to look at Mr. Spears in the break room.

In order to please Mr. Spears, Russell sent him a recliner made of ancient wood for

thousands of years.

Adam was lying on the recliner, rocking it gently with his eyes closed. The curve of his

mouth showed his excitement.

Adam literally grinned. He was clearly excited to see his granddaughter later.

The old man’s happy face was reddened by the light of the fire nearby.

The scene suddenly struck Tory as a little harsh.

He had mixed feelings when he saw the old man so happy.

Since Natalie married into the Graham family, the old man had not smiled so happy for a

long time, and he was in a good mood. Who knew this could happen?

Tory had mixed feelings.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to say nothing and walked silently back to the

break room.

He prayed that Natalie would call him back when she saw the call.

Adam heard footsteps. He opened his eyes. “How’s it going? Can I go to the front now?”

Tory said hesitantly, “Well… Just wait a little longer.”

“Waiting for what? We should go. What’s there to wait for?” “The old man sounded

excited. He obviously couldn’t wait.

Tory tried to persuade him, “Just sit down for a while. You have waited three years. Can’t

you wait now?”

“Besides, though you are in good health, you ought to rest more, right?”

Adam was clearly not listening. “I haven’t seen my granddaughter in three years. That’s

why I’m so anxious.”

“I only have one granddaughter, and if I’m not in a hurry, who should be, Julian?”

When Tory heard Julian’s name, he looked bad.

“Why do you mention him?”

In the Spears family, there was no one who liked Julian.

What a bad time to mention him.

“I’m going to the front hall now.” After Adam had said this, he stopped talking to Tory.

He put down the fan he had been holding and stood up. He walked slowly toward the hall, looking rather stubborn from behind.

When Tory couldn’t stop him, he just found some other excuse.

“Father, there’s something out there that’s not ready…”

“The venue, and the tables and chairs are not ready. If you go now, you will only make

trouble for them.”

Adam stopped/

He turned his head and looked suspicious, “Is there anything they haven’t got ready?”

Tory hesitated for half a second and continued, “Right, I didn’t lie to you.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He walked over to Adam and pushed him back to his original position. Adam just went back to his recliner, stunned.

Tory seemed afraid of Adam getting back on his feet, so he went over to him and pinned

him down on the recliner.

This time, Adam didn’t get up.

Instead, he sat quietly in a recliner. The expression on his face steadied a little, and he

waited quietly for the people in the front hall to get everything ready.

Tory was relieved to see that he finally gave up.

Natalie was on his mind, and he had a bad feeling about her.

So as soon as he pushed his father back into his seat, he stepped aside and called

Natalie.

If she didn’t get on the phone this time, he was going to have the whole place scoured.

He would dig deep enough to find their dear Natalie.

Tory had just taken his

was startled when someone put a hand on his shoulder from

“Who? “Tory turned his head.

He turned and saw a smiling face. The flesh of Russell’s face was piled together in a

kind of comical way.

“It’s me.” “And there was a smile on his lips.

Tory cast a sideways glance at Russell and ignored him.

Obviously, what’s important right now was Natalie, and everything else was on the back

burner.

Russell didn’t seem to see Tory’s indifference. “What happened to the front hall? Why does Mr. Spears stay here?”

ރ

Before Tory could open his mouth, Adam took the lead.

“The people in the front hall haven’t finished preparing things. I’ll wait.”

“They haven’t finished preparing? Aren’t they already ready? They’re waiting for you!”

Russell said that in a very loud voice.

*Ready?” Adam looked puzzled.

“Yes, I watched them prepare it, and now they’re waiting for you!”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, which blew Adam up again after he had calmed

down.

Adam’s face went from red to white, and there was a little anger in his voice. “What’s

going on?!”

The kid lied to him again?

And Tory’s heart sank. He was angry, but he couldn’t show it.

He was dead depressed.

He managed to calm Adam down, and now all that work has gone down the drain!

“This…”

“Tell me all about it. What’s going on?” “Adam asked again.

Tory could not hide, he had to obediently tell the truth..

“Natalie…… I can’t reach her…”

“What?”

When Adam heard this, he got up from his recliner in shock.

“How come?!”

“Have you looked all around? Could something have happened to her?” The old man

spoke quickly.

“Haven’t had time to find her yet.” “Tory replied.

The old man was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. “What are you waiting for? If my granddaughter is lost, we won’t be able to find her!”

Tory hesitated to speak.

He glanced at Russell.

Get Bog

After all, this was the host’s territory, and there were various forces involved. If they did

search, it’s a complicated situation.

“Go find her!”

Adam didn’t care. He just wanted his granddaughter to be safe.

He said, “I need to find my granddaughter even if I turn this meeting upside down!”
