My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: The Frightened Laura Kiels
The same day, in the afternoon.

In one of the large villas, Laura Kiels was pacing in her bedroom.

Her face looked pale, frightened by the text message she had just received from an unknown phone number.

Laura had received an odd text message, but when she tried to confirm its contents with her manager, Robert, she discovered that his cell phone was still out of service — It had been three days since she had been able to contact Robert.

This was unusual because Robert never turned off his cell phone, so she started to become suspicious.

The short text message she received a few minutes ago convinced her even more that its contents were actual.

“What to do? What will I do if Robert really betrays me?”

She muttered softly as she continued pacing back and forth in the room. Occasionally, she tried to divert her worries, biting the tip of her thumb.

After a few minutes passed by, suddenly, a deep and charming voice came from the door.

“What happened, Laura?”

A deep and charming voice came from the door, making Laura stop in her tracks and turn to see at the door.

Laura’s lips formed a half-smile as she saw Marco, her fiancé, leaning on the door frame, looking at her. He looked charming in his black turtleneck, which covered his beautiful tattoo on his entire front neck. As she whispered his name, “Ma-Marco… Ba-Be…”

Her heart raced as she gazed at Marco’s familiar dark hair and intimidating gaze.

He always claimed her as his own, but she never felt secure in his arms.

Marco was so mysterious, and Laura struggled to understand his true intentions.

Despite her fear of his dangerous vibe, she pretended to be obedient and in love with him, concealing her true feelings in her heart.

“Babe, are you done with your work?” Laura asked, maintaining her Monalisa smile and ignoring his question.

She tried to appear calm even though her mind was preoccupied with debating whether to ask him for help finding her missing manager.

Before Laura could open her mouth to speak again, she saw Marco walk towards the seating area. He pulled his sleeves up, revealing his muscular arms, and gracefully sat on the sofa while she stared at him.

She stood in her place for a few seconds, looking at him with a fearful expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Laura? Is there anything that worries you?” Marco asked, gesturing for her to join him in the seating area. “Come, come, tell me…”

Laura did not answer immediately but approached the seating area and sat opposite him.

After thinking quickly, she finally decided to ask Marco for help. Again. She couldn’t ignore the message she received, and suspicion now filled her mind.

She looked him in the eyes before saying, “Babe, please help me…” Her voice trembled slightly.

Marco slightly raised his eyebrow, confused by her frightening expression.

“What is it, Laura?”

“Someone sent me a message. That person informed me that my manager had turned his back on me. And he also warned me to get ready to end up in jail.”

Laura told him everything about what she did to pay several buzzers and journalists to create negative news and publications about Stellar Entertainment.

She took another deep sigh before continuing, “Marco, Babe… this time, I really need your help…”

He didn’t rush to answer her, but his eyes narrowed, staring at her teary eyes.

Silently, he sighed deeply; remember, this was the second time he had seen her cry and plead for help, and he couldn’t refuse her beg. Not when this sexy and lusty girl could satisfy his need in bed.

After a few moments, Marco said, “Why are you afraid? As long as I’m here, no one can touch you. Well, unless you offended a certain person more powerful than me.”

Laura immediately shook her head, confirming she didn’t offend the particular family.

“Marco, don’t worry, not them. I will not try to offend them. My enemy now is Arabella Donovan and her company, Quantum Capital, the same as before.”

“Ah, she is…” A smile emerged from the corner of Marco’s lips. “That’s an easy target. So what do you want me to do?”

“I’m not asking you to teach Arabella Donovan, not now. But, please trace where Robert is. He has been missing in action for a few days, and his cellphone cannot be contacted. I’m afraid my enemy might have captured him and forced him to—”

Laura couldn’t continue her words. She was too frightened to imagine if that really happened; Bella forced Robert to give evidence.

What bothered her now was that if Bella found evidence that she was involved in creating lousy press about her company, she would be in trouble and unable to return to this industry in the future.

“Okay! I’ll call my people…” Marco calmly responded to her while dialing a number.

…

Before long…

Marco’s phone rang again.

He immediately answered the call. It didn’t take long; his face suddenly turned dark when he heard the bad news from his people on the other side.

A few moments later, Marco ended the call and turned his gaze to Laura, who looked anxious in her seat.

“My people found your manager. He is at the border, heading to another country. Looks like he’s in a hurry to leave this country.”

“WHAT!? Why? I mean… Why is he running away from me? Something suspicious happened to him, right!?”

“I think what you’re afraid of is real. He betrayed you… my people said someone forced him to leave this country.” Marco took a deep breath, thinking about this unimportant matter. He wanted to ignore it, but since Laura asked, he couldn’t refuse.

Upon hearing that Robert had betrayed her, Laura clenched her hand into a tight fist.

“Babe, can I meet him? I need to ask him something important,” she said.

Marco stood up from the chair, “Sure. Let’s go…”

Laura immediately grabbed her bag and put on her jacket. She followed Marco, who walked ahead while making a call.
