Chapter 428 No One Answered

The appearance of Tom Parker's wife made the situation worse for Isabella.

Isabella took out her cell phone and she dialed Veronica Parker's phone number. She waited for Veronica Parker to answer the call with tears streaming down her face.

The only thing she cared about is Veronica Parker and the six little ones.

But there was no need to worry much about them. The children were living in Winter Villa under the care of Nick Cage. She was very certain that the six little ones were very safe there and they will grow up to be healthy people in the future.

As for Veronica Parker, she knew that woman would be happy.

The people she loved the most were in good condition and there was nothing more she cold asked for. But at that very moment, she missed them and she wanted to hear their voices.

Veronica Parker was listening to the director's instructions when she heard someone called her name. She looked back and saw Lucy Underwood coming over with her cell phone, "Miss Parker, I passed by your office and I saw that your phone keeps ringing but now the call ended. Maybe you want to check it?"

"Director, can I excuse myself for a minute?" Veronica Parker asked.

"Yes, go ahead and you can also have some rest."

Veronica Parker took the phone from Lucy Underwood and she saw that it was Isabella who called her. She had three missed calls from her. Why would she want to call her at that time?

She tried calling her back but Isabella didn't answer her phone.

Veronica Parker tried one more time but she still got no answer from Isabella.

Veronica Parker just assumed that Isabella might have gone to do something else that's why she could not answer the phone. Maybe Isabella would call back later when she saw that there was a missed call from her.

But after some time, Isabella didn't call her back.

Veronica Parker felt worried so she tried to call her again.

But Isabella was still not answering her phone.

Veronica Parker thought that it was strange for Isabella to not check her cell phone for such a long time.

She was even more confused as to why Isabella had made three consecutive phone calls which never happened in the past.

If it wasn't an emergency, you wouldn't have made so many phone calls, would you?

"Is Miss Parker ready to record?" The director came and asked.

Veronica Parker came to her senses and said, "Yes I'm ready"

She stood on the stage and saw that all of the cameras were already in place. The recording started after a few seconds.

Veronica Parker had long been familiar with doing her job but now she didn't know what the right words to say were and her mind was in a mess.

"I'm sorry but can we start all over again?" Veronica Parker asked apologetically.

"Yes," the director replied.

They started the recording again, on the outside she seemed to be alright. Besides, she had already perfected her craft but at that very moment, she could not help her mind being placed somewhere else. She felt that as seconds passed her thoughts were being clouded by something and all the cards on her hand fell.

Veronica Parker stared at the cards blankly.

The director had to stop filming.

"I'm sorry!" Veronica Parker apologized for the second time.

Lucy Underwood brought a glass of water to Veronica Parker and said, "Miss Parker, why are you so absent-minded today? Is everything all right? You've never had a problem with recording before. "

Veronica Parker looked at Lucy Underwood's worried face and her worried feelings intensified.

She didn't know why she felt that way. Was it because Isabella didn't answer her phone?

The director told Veronica Parker to have some rest first. Veronica Parker took the chance as she immediately called Isabella with her cell phone but she still didn't answer.

She decided to call Winter Villa instead and Bob answered the phone, "Hello, this is Winter Villa."

"This is Veronica. Is Isabella there?" Veronica Parker asked.

"Miss Isabella went out this afternoon and she hasn't come back yet."

"What time did she go out?"

"A little after one o'clock, she said she was going to shop with her friends."

"Did she mention anything else?"

"No, she didn't"

"I see. If she comes back, please ask her to give me a call."

"Is something wrong, Miss Parker?"

"No, I'm fine."

After Veronica Parker hung up the phone, she still felt distracted.

She never heard Isabella going out to shop with some friends before. Who were the friends she was talking about? Veronica Parker thought that it was very unusual for Isabella to have friends that she didn't know about.

Did Isabella call her after she shopped because wanted to go home but she soon realized that she forgot her keys?

But it didn't sound right to Veronica Parker. Isabella didn't like to bother other people and it would be impossible for her to call her just because she didn't have keys.

The director came towards Veronica Parker to say something but Veronica Parker turned to the director with an apologetic face, "I am so sorry director, but I have something important to do. I have to go somewhere first, I promise that I'll be back in an hour!"
