Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 1029 Accompany (1)

During the Spring Festival, Emily and Vincent had not left home until night, when they sneaked to City Y to have a reunion dinner with Rolando.

As they returned to the Britt's, they surprisedly found that Susan and the butler had cooked dumplings and glutinous rice balls and prepared red packets for them and the guards.

Emily and the others were playing poker games when Eliot and Sydnee came over. After the butler and Susan had won several rounds of games, they finally realized that Emily had been throwing the games, and they laughed till their eyes narrowed into slits.

At midnight, the butler and Susan said that they were too old to stay up. Rex thus drove Susan home, and the butler went back to his room to sleep.

Eliot and Sydnee took their places. Emily and Sydnee had played poker games together before, but for Eliot, it was the first time he had played the games with Emily. Eliot saw that Emily had lost many times to the butler and Susan in the previous games and thought that Emily was a bad poker player. However, after they had finished three rounds, it turned out that Eliot himself was the worst poker player. "When are we leaving?" Eliot asked Emily.

Emily picked up one of the tarts made by Susan and took a bite, "Tomorrow."

"Thought you would stay longer," Eliot took out a red packet and handed it to Emily, "Happy New Year."

"Thank you, Eliot," Emily said smilingly.

Eliot gave a red packet to Vincent as well. Just as Eliot was about to say something, Vincent said, "Thank you, Eliot."

Emily smiled at Vincent and said, "There's one more."

"Thank you, Sydnee." Vincent turned to Sydnee.

All of them laughed.

Everyone was having fun. The TV was on, and the guards were cracking melon seeds while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Rex was sitting on the carpet with Candy in his arms, watching a puppy cartoon with a tablet, since he heard that it helped improve puppies' ability to make friends.

After the Spring Festival, Emily returned to Happisland City and discussed with Lord Top about their plans of studying abroad. Lord Top listed a few colleges that Emily could refer to. Finally, they decided to go to the same country, but different colleges, because the majors they chose to study were different.

Before the date of going abroad was finalized, Emily received a call from Harold, who told her that Stephanie had been missing.

"Since when?" Emily was stunned, "What does 'missing' mean? Had she been kidnapped?"

"Just now." After a short pause, Harold went on, "It's not kidnapping. It seemed that she has left by herself. I found a card she left to me in the locker."

"Card?" Emily asked, "What card? What's on it?"

Harold said nothing in reply.

Emily stood up and put on a down jacket, "Where are you? I'm going over."

After hanging up the call, she checked the calendar.

The date of the day was February 14th, Valentine's Day.

Stephanie and Harold arrived at Happisland City this morning. After breakfast, Stephanie said that she wanted to have a look at the shop. When she came out, she told Harold that she had left something in the locker.

Harold opened the locker, and there was only a card in it.

The card reads, "I am leaving. Do not look for me."

"Were there any signs before she left?" Emily held the card and pondered, "Did you two quarrel? Or was there anything unusual?"

Harold said nothing. He seemed to be recalling.

After a long while, he said, "Since the fire in Relax Room, she had been in a bad mood."

"I see. That's probably the reason," Emily nodded.

Harold somehow felt that Emily's assumption was wrong, but could not replace a better explanation.

"I asked Trevor to help replace Stephanie," Emily said. Meanwhile, she texted Christy their current location and took Harold into a coffee shop nearby.

Emily took a seat as she entered the coffee shop, while Harold was still standing.

"Sit down. Take a rest." Emily pointed to the seat opposite her.

Harold sat down.

"Did Stephanie ask you any questions?" Emily asked hesitantly.

"What questions?" Harold looked up.

Emily thought about her dream and vaguely remembered that in the dream, Stephanie had asked Harold a question, which was "Do you like her or me?"

By "her", Stephanie might be referring to Emily or the other girl.

However, what was certain was that Stephanie cared very much about the existence of the other girl in the dream.

"For example, you've got other women around you, and ..." Emily stared at Harold, "... she became jealous or something?"

"I don't have any other women around," Harold shook his head.

Emily nodded thoughtfully.

About five minutes later, Emily received a location that Trevor sent to her.

"Found her?" Harold asked.

"Yes." Emily opened the map and pointed to the red exclamation mark on it, "She's there."

Harold took a look. Stephanie did not leave Happisland City. She was in a park about twenty minutes' walk from here. If they took a taxi, it would take less than seven minutes to reach her. When Emily was about to leave, the dream flashed back in her mind again, so she stopped and told Harold, "I'm not going with you. Just text me if you replace her."

Harold nodded and left.
