After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 87: Jasmine Is Kidnapped, Vivian Takes Action!

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Jasmine Is Kidnapped, Vivian Takes Action!

Vivian Sinclair abruptly stood up from her chair, "What’s going on?"

"Why would she go to an underground casino?"

"Didn’t I instruct that she’s not allowed to act on her own anymore?"

Patrick Powell: "I’m not sure exactly what happened to her either."

"She didn’t return to the teahouse yesterday afternoon, and I couldn’t reach her, so I called her."

"Her phone was unreachable, but after a while, she sent me a text saying she had some urgent matters to attend to and asked me not to worry."

"It’s all my fault for not paying attention to this matter; it wasn’t until this morning that I received a text from Dr. Archer saying he saw Jasmine being taken away at Cinderfall’s underground casino last night."

"He asked me if Jasmine had returned."

"By the time I realized something was wrong...I couldn’t contact her at all."

"People often go missing at the casino over there in Cinderfall, boss, I’m worried Jasmine recklessly went there because of her father and ended up being targeted."

Vivian Sinclair was like a cat on hot bricks, pacing around the room in distress.

"Wait for me to come over then we’ll talk."

She hung up the phone and quickly changed her clothes without a moment’s hesitation.

Then she went to find Butler Turner.

Truman was slightly surprised when he heard Vivian Sinclair was leaving again: "You just returned yesterday, and now you’re leaving again today?"

"Miss Sinclair, have you run into some trouble? Do you need our help?"

Truman was merely being courteous; in truth, he was somewhat displeased that Vivian Sinclair was leaving again.

Vivian Sinclair: "Thank you for your kindness."

"I am indeed dealing with some personal matters, and if needed, I won’t hesitate to ask for help."

Truman smiled, "Miss Sinclair is an esteemed guest of The Thorne Family; as long as it benefits Miss Sinclair’s recovery, Mr. Thorne will never refuse assistance."

Vivian Sinclair couldn’t help but give Butler Turner a second look when she heard this.

Was he reminding her?

Yes, she was indeed employed by The Thorne Family and genuinely wished to help Stella.

But Vivian Sinclair hadn’t sold herself to The Thorne siblings?

She was currently entangled in her own set of troubles and hadn’t entirely freed herself from the brambles.

If it weren’t for Julian pressuring her, why would Vivian Sinclair be exhausting herself by running back and forth?

She could easily wait until Austin Grant’s one-month divorce cooling-off period to earn this month’s money!

Julian Thorne knew her situation from the start!

There was no reason for Vivian Sinclair to have to tiptoe around when leaving, right?

"If I delay too many times, I might apply to postpone my working hours."

"Or if Mr. Thorne is dissatisfied, I can return my salary, or handle certain penalties if necessary."

"But no matter what, with Stella, I will do my best to cooperate."

After all, Julian Thorne helped her greatly with the matter regarding W, Vivian Sinclair remembered this favor.

Moreover, she truly liked Stella Thorne, feeling sympathy for her circumstances and illness, so even without compensation, she wouldn’t just quit.

After saying this, Vivian Sinclair left, paying no mind to the expression on Butler Turner’s face.

She unapologetically asked Matron Turner for a car since it’s difficult to get a cab on this mountain.

After Vivian Sinclair left, Truman went to find Julian Thorne and informed him of this.

"Miss Sinclair has left again."

Julian Thorne was about to head to the company; upon hearing this, he didn’t react much but instead instructed, "Arrange a car for her."

Truman opened his mouth in surprise.

Is Mr. Thorne’s tolerance for Miss Sinclair too high?

Even though she is W, yet having accepted Mr. Thorne’s remuneration and residing with The Thorne Family, she runs around outside all day.

This isn’t achieving optimal outcomes for Miss Stella’s treatment at all.

Indeed, Mr. Thorne’s tolerance for Miss Sinclair is higher than for anyone else.

Truman didn’t speak, but Julian, who was adjusting his tie, turned to look at him.

Seeing Truman’s demeanor, Julian warned in a low voice, "Truman, focus on your responsibilities."

"I don’t want to face betrayal from those around me again."

The implication was he had noticed Truman’s ulterior thoughts.

Truman realized his actions had been noticed.

He had overstepped.

He immediately lowered his head, "Yes, Mr. Thorne."

Crestfall Villa needed tranquility.

As for Miss Sinclair...perhaps Mr. Thorne has his own understanding; let it unfold step by step then.

When Vivian Sinclair rushed back to the teahouse, Patrick Powell had already received new information.

"Boss, I’ve had someone investigate, and Jasmine indeed appeared at this bar last night."

A bar called ’Umbra.’

Vivian Sinclair: "Can you find out more?"

"I can offer any amount of money."

If it weren’t for her design, Old Tanner wouldn’t have left The Grant Family with Lillian Rivers and vanished without a trace till now.

Although Old Tanner wasn’t exactly a good person.

Even Jasmine felt indifferent to him going to prison for Lillian Rivers, but human life and imprisonment are two different matters.

So if Old Tanner were truly in trouble, Vivian Sinclair would feel immensely guilty.

Aside from responsibility, there was a bond with Jasmine.

Because Jasmine had once returned to The Grant Family without hesitation to rescue her, Vivian Sinclair would never abandon her.

Patrick Powell shook his head, "Boss, I..."

He seemed to be struggling for words.

Vivian Sinclair immediately understood, Patrick wasn’t lacking connections, he simply didn’t want to delve into that realm.

He had his principles, and Vivian Sinclair wouldn’t force him.

All along, he has done well enough, and everyone has their principles and limits, she understood.

Vivian Sinclair: "Alright, I understand."

"This bar is your limit."

"Don’t worry about it, go and take care of your matters."

With a hint of regret, Patrick retreated, and Vivian Sinclair pulled out her phone.

She called Dr. Archer: "Jasmine is missing, can you find her?"

"Name your price once you find her."

Hearing money, Dr. Archer agreed without hesitation, and excitedly asked, "Five, five hundred thousand?"

"Although she’s just a little girl, given your relationship with her... it’s not too much, right?"

Vivian Sinclair: "Agreed."

Dr. Archer immediately vowed with confidence that he would take care of it.

Vivian squinted: "Dr. Archer, did you intentionally mess things up?"

"I asked you to find Old Tanner, and it’s been two days without a hint, how can your work efficiency be trusted?"

Dr. Archer explained nervously: "Young Madam, please don’t worry."

"I do have some leads here, but due to the many connections that need sorting out, it’s not easy."

"But I won’t disappoint you!"

"Wait for my good news."

Dr. Archer hurriedly hung up after speaking.

Vivian knew she couldn’t put all her hopes on just him, so she flipped through her phone contacts, quickly stopping at Elias Sinclair’s name.

If it was him, he would definitely be able to help find Jasmine.

Back in the days when Vivian was Elias’s little princess, she knew that Elias had connections both above and below ground, and those people would always give him some face.

After thinking for a moment, Vivian still slid the name up.

Calling Elias was just inviting humiliation.

She called Tina Archer again.

"Senior, I recall you had a blind date with a police officer last time, right?"

However, this time Dr. Archer gave an unexpected response to Vivian, and quickly replied.

"Young Madam, the same group took both Jasmine and Old Tanner."

"Now I’ve found the boss of Umbra, but he insists on meeting you in person to provide more clues."

"What do you think..."

Meet her?

Vivian touched her belly.

She dared not take risks easily, because she had to care for the two babies inside her belly.

But if anything happened to Jasmine, she wouldn’t forgive herself.

"Give me a time and place."

After hanging up, Vivian went to find Patrick Powell, asking him to arrange two skilled bodyguards to follow her.

Patrick, hearing that Vivian wanted to go to the meeting herself, showed a worried look: "Boss, what if it’s a trap..."

He glanced at Vivian’s belly.

Vivian: "Do I have any other choice?"

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Maybe, this time, I might achieve an unexpected result."

Since the same group took both Jasmine and Old Tanner, finding Jasmine might also lead to finding Old Tanner?

Finding Old Tanner could reveal the secret Lillian Rivers was hiding.

It would bring her closer to obtaining the biggest scandal of the Grant Family.

Vivian did some disguising.

She wore casual clothes, donned a baseball cap, and tied up her long hair high.

She also concealed her baby bump.

When she appeared on time at ’Umbra’, Dr. Archer had been waiting for her.

Seeing the two bodyguards following her, Dr. Archer nodded approvingly: "Bringing some hands is the right move, this place is full of mixed elements, and you’re pregnant, I can’t keep an eye on everything."

"With them here, I’m much more reassured."

Vivian: "Less nonsense, what’s the situation with Jasmine?"

"Did you find out anything?"

Dr. Archer pushed open the bar’s door while leading Vivian inside.

"Maybe my search for Old Tanner alarmed the other side, so they took Old Tanner to threaten Jasmine, trying to scare us from acting rashly."

"I heard that they sent one of Old Tanner’s fingers to Jasmine, warning her not to call the police or inform anyone else. Otherwise, next time it would be both of Old Tanner’s hands."

"I only found out today that it’s the same group, otherwise I wouldn’t have let them take Jasmine yesterday no matter what."

Vivian: "What’s the use of saying this now?"

"Jasmine grew up under your watch, and you just let them take her away?"

Dr. Archer sheepishly scratched his nose: "I didn’t want to alert the snake..."

Vivian snorted, wasn’t she aware of his grudges?

Inside the bar, there was a hidden door, which Dr. Archer entered under the server’s guidance, revealing a winding staircase inside.

After going down the stairs, an entirely different underground world appeared before them.

Various slot machines and gambling tables came into view.

Vivian had already put on a mask, otherwise, in this dense smoke, she wouldn’t be able to catch her breath.

"This way, Young Madam."

Dr. Archer led Vivian towards the innermost area, completely oblivious that in this venue, a pair of eyes at a gambling table had been fixed on her since she appeared.

"Isn’t that President Sinclair’s sister?"

Harvey Holloway instantly recognized Vivian, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He hadn’t seen her for some time.

Even with a mask and a hat, Harvey could still recognize her at a glance.

Elias Sinclair finally noticed Vivian’s back.

He clenched the chips in his hand tightly, his face already dark and frosty.

How bold! Daring to come to such a place!

However, what does her current appearance have to do with him?

Given her decisive departure from The Sinclair Family, it’s as though she was never their daughter.

Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Elias coldly said: "You must have mistaken."

Harvey glanced at him, "Really?"

"True, with the dark clouds over The Grant Family now, and her being pregnant, she shouldn’t be in a place like this."

Elias suddenly grabbed Harvey by the collar, a look of shock on his face: "What did you say?"
