Chapter 903 Lawrence Chases to AquaVista Continent
The hotel she was staying at wasn't far from NexaCore Group.
The hotel, AquaVista Continent, had a medieval architectural style and wasn't very tall. Her neck was sore, and her expression was gloomy.
It had been a week since she had snuck into Fantasyville.
But she hadn't made any progress.
All she knew was that the woman was named Briar, and her age and appearance confirmed that she was Winnie's biological mother. However, Ishara couldn't get close to her.
NexaCore Group had extremely strict security. Non-employees couldn't even get past the gates outside the plaza. Ishara staked out every day, only to see a prestigious black Lincoln pick up and drop off Briar.
Briar seemed to follow a strict routine. Ishara had tried to follow her to find out where she lived.
The result drove her even crazier.
Briar was too wealthy. She lived in an estate with surveillance cameras several miles away from the park and Ishara couldn't even set foot on her property.
Briar didn't seem to be married. She had no children here, and her solitary figure and cold, unapproachable profile made Ishara both wary and fearful.
This was far from what Rock had said, that it would be as simple as pretending to be a relative!
Frustrated, she didn't know how to make Briar believe her.
Moreover, she was unfamiliar with the place and was heavily pregnant. Ishara regretted taking on this task.
But now, the Blanchet Family in Trento City was under Winnie's control, and she had no place to stay back home.
This Briar, who seemed to have amnesia about her past, was her last chance to turn things around!
She gritted her teeth and angrily punched her moving belly, "Move, why are you moving? If it weren't for the fact that you're useful, I'd kill you right now."
The maid who had come with her was startled. She looked at Ishara's cold profile with pity for the innocent child in her belly, who was Winnie's flesh and blood.
"Go get me a glass of ice water!" Ishara snapped, unable to stand the maid's sympathetic expression.
The maid took a few steps when the phone on the ornate cabinet rang.
"Ms. Anderson, it's Mr. Harrington calling."
'Rock?'
Ishara's face darkened. She had a lot of grievances to air.
"Hello, Mr. Harrington..." she began, her voice ingratiating.
Rock's voice was tense, "You've been in Fantasyville for a week. How's it going? Haven't you seen Briar?"
"I've seen her," Ishara said coldly. "But she's the chairman of NexaCore Group, with high status and tight security. She lives in an estate so vast that there's no one for ten miles. How am I supposed to approach her?"
"Why are you so useless?" Rock didn't want to hear her complaints, his eyes burning with anger. "Ishara, where's your cleverness? I sent you to her side, and you can't figure something out?"
"Rock, I'm trying! But Briar is alone, no husband, no kids, just a male assistant who looks like a bodyguard. Do you think she'll believe I'm her daughter just because I show up?"
"I don't want to die! If I don't succeed the first time, I'm dead. You're far away, it's easy for you to talk. If I die here, you'll just lose a pawn!"
Seeing her extreme instability, Rock had to suppress his anger, softening his tone. "Ishara, you're my treasure, my last hope. I wouldn't force you to die. But you need to hurry. I heard Lawrence has already arrived in AquaVista Continent. He's looking for you!"
Ishara's face changed.
Rock took a deep breath, his tone dark. "How did Lawrence get the news so quickly? He'll find out which fake passport you used. You need to meet Briar and win her over before he finds you. Otherwise, if Lawrence discovers Briar's existence, the consequences will be unimaginable. What do you think will happen to us?"
Ishara's mind was stretched to the limit, her heart pounding.
Lawrence was moving so fast...
Damn it.
She was out of time!
She had to find a way to meet Briar and gain her trust quickly. "Alright! Rock, I'm thinking... yes, her male assistant. I've been observing him for a few days."
"Got an idea?" Rock asked darkly.
Ishara's gaze fell on her moving belly, a ruthless glint in her eyes. "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. I'll use this baby. If he dies, don't feel sorry. We don't need this card against Lawrence anymore."
"What are you planning?" Rock hesitated.
Ishara steeled herself. "I'll make sure Briar sees me and remembers me. Then we can proceed."
"Do it!" Rock ordered.
Hanging up, he stared at his cigarette, the smoke swirling around him. He coldly instructed his men, "Release some false leads to mislead Lawrence."
Lawrence was likely looking for his child and might suspect Ishara. He mustn't find out that Winnie's mother was alive and wealthy.
AquaVista Continent was vast. Let him search.
As dawn broke at Celestria Airport, Lawrence's assistant returned with a stack of passenger records.
Lawrence, who had been sitting all night, looked up with bloodshot eyes. "Which Veridiania passengers used fake passports?"
"Mr. Rodriguez, we identified ten women from Veridiania, aged 20-30, who might be Ishara."
Lawrence frowned, flipping through the fake passports. The connecting flights varied.
Some went to Dreamland, others to Fantasyville.
"Ishara is pregnant. Which of these passports received special attention?"
The assistant searched quickly. "Yes! The one to Fantasyville was registered as pregnant and upgraded to first class."
Lawrence stood up immediately. "We're going to Fantasyville."
But as he took a few steps, his right eyelid twitched, a bad omen.
His chest felt tight, and he was worried about his unborn child.
Staying in Ishara's belly, the longer it took, the more dangerous it became.
Lawrence's brows furrowed deeply. "Fantasyville... we'll turn it upside down to find Ishara."
In Trento City, Olivia was about to leave for work when she received a call from her mother, Yasmin, in Lymington. She was surprised and answered immediately, "Mom..."
