"I'm sorry," Tobias cut her off coldly.
"I don't know you. The young master knows you. I… I have to go now."
Before she could say anything else, Tobias hung up.
When Aurora tried to call back, his phone had already been turned off.
Her heart sank even deeper.
Tobias was lying.
It was obvious in the way he spoke—unnatural and stiff.
Saying Everett was just "busy"?
That was just an excuse to deceive her.

"What happened? Did you get through?" Dominic asked, worried, seeing Aurora staring at her phone in a daze.
Aurora shook her head.
"No. His assistant Tobias won't tell me the truth. And now he's shut off his phone to avoid me. Something big must've happened—and they're trying to keep it quiet."
Aurora's expression darkened with worry.
"Let's go to the Hewlis Hotel. I heard it's owned by the Langston family."
"Okay… though it's pretty expensive…" Dominic mumbled under his breath.
Aurora didn't care.
