Chapter 1741 Loss Of Signal
Engaged?
Wilbur and Janice.
Those few words jolted Maya out of her slumber, and she woke up in shock and horror.
“W-What did you say?”
“I said breakfast is ready.”
“No, not that. Did you say that Wilbur is getting engaged to that pretentious b*tch? So soon?”
“That’s right. I just saw it on the Internet, and it is one of the trending topics. In three days’, time, Wilbur will get engaged.”
Three days?
And it’s a trending topic too?
Maya stretched out to retrieve her phone. True enough, the news of Wilbur’s engagement was one of the top trending topics.
I thought Janice’s baby wasn’t Wilbur’s.
Why is he getting engaged to her?
Maya’s mind was full of unanswered questions. This won’t do. I have to find out what is really going on.
At the thought of that, she got off the bed.
Looking at that panicky sister of hers, Nina knew she was up to something. It looked like there would be a drama at Wilbur and Janice’s engagement.
Maya was going to make her move!
After breakfast, Joy told both of them before leaving for school, “There’s no need to pick me up after school. I want to go to Seet Residence and play with Zayden.”
Both Nina and Maya exchanged glances. It seemed that Joy must be missing Zayden.
It was probably a good idea for her to go to Seet Residence. After all, their parents were not around, and they were too busy with their lives to keep Joy company.
“All right then. I will call Grandma and inform her. After school, the chauffeur will pick you up and send you to Seet Residence. Is that okay?” asked Maya.
Joy nodded. “Yes!”
At the mention of Seet Residence, Nina suddenly thought of Davin.
“Is Uncle Davin still busy making money in Steven’s hideout?”
“I guess so. Given his personality, he will surely want to make as much money as possible after struggling for the right to use the hideout.”
“That’s so true. It’s a pity Juan has gone to Daemonic Mount. Otherwise, he could bring some of his friends to lend Uncle Davin some support.”
“You’re right. I wonder if Juan, Daddy, and Mommy have arrived at Daemonic Mount. What is the situation over there right now?”
“Why don’t you give Mommy a call?”
“Good idea!”
Nina made the call. After a few rings, Nicole picked up.
“Mommy, have all of you arrived at Daemonic Mount?”
“Soon. It is already in sight. I guess we should arrive in another thirty minutes on foot. Nina, when we reach Daemonic Mount, the signal may be unstable. If I don’t answer your call, please don’t worry. There are so many of us here. Nothing will happen.”
“I understand, Mommy. I’m sure all of you will return safely.”
“Don’t worry. I-”
Just then, the line was cut off.
Nina frowned. Maya, who was standing beside her, found it puzzling as well. “Why did Mommy just hang up like that? I haven’t even spoken to her yet!”
She picked up her phone and called Nicole again. However, the call failed to go through.
Nina thought about it and said, “Maya, I think it’s because Mommy and the rest of them must have entered the vicinity of Daemonic Mount. That explains the lack of signal. Otherwise, she won’t hang up her phone just like that.”
Maya dialed for Evan and found his phone off too. Next, she called Draven but also to no avail.
“Nina, I think you are right. They must have arrived at Daemonic Mount.”
“Yes. Hopefully, all of them return unscathed.”
Meanwhile, Nicole looked at her phone that had lost its signal and sighed. She did not expect it so soon since they had yet to reach the foot of Daemonic Mount. There were still things she wanted to say to her daughters.
“Since there is no signal, why don’t you keep your phone?”
She looked up at Evan. “Okay.”
Sizing up Daemonic Mount, he reminded everyone, “Be careful. The two patients in the hospital have fallen ill after being poisoned in this area.”
The others were on their guard instantly.
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
“Mr. Seet, we will stay alert and proceed with caution.”
