Chapter 1338 An Arrogant Female Voice Came from the Phone
Joe slammed his hand down on the table, making the whole restaurant go silent.
Natalie opened her mouth to say something but hesitated, unsure of what to say.
Rachel's disappearance had cast a shadow over the entire family. No words could ease the pain.
Andrea, seemingly oblivious to the tension, offered a weak consolation, "Rachel will be fine. Don't blame Jamie. He didn't mean for this to happen."
"Not a true Howard by blood, so naturally she doesn't understand and isn't close to the family," Joe scoffed, standing up and casting a cold glance at them before storming out.
Andrea's face turned pale. She looked like she was about to cry from the reprimand. Helplessly, she turned to Jamie.
But Jamie was lost in thoughts of Rachel and had no time for Andrea. His phone buzzed, and he glanced at it before quickly standing up.
Andrea hurriedly stood up as well, "Jamie, Jamie, where are you going?"
Seeing Jamie leave, Andrea stomped her foot in frustration but quickly composed herself, adopting a soft, innocent expression, "Donte, did I say something wrong?"
At this moment, the Howard family elders were not at the table. Andrea looked at Donte with a gentle gaze.
Donte smiled faintly, his voice calm, "Ms. Lawson, don't worry too much. Uncle is just concerned about Rachel, so he spoke harshly."
Andrea nodded, "Donte, I'm really worried about Rachel too. I'm sure she'll be okay."
Just then, Jeffery came down the stairs, "Mr. Donte Howard, Mr. Adrian Howard, Mr. Ruben Howard want you in the study."
After the two men went upstairs, the restaurant was left with just Andrea and Natalie. Andrea dropped her pretense, her eyes gleaming with a smug smile as she looked at Natalie.
"Rachel went to Suncrest City with you to avoid Jamie, and now she's missing. Natalie, you bear a lot of responsibility. Who knows, maybe Rachel has been sold off as someone's wife or had her organs harvested. I heard about a case where the missing person had their kidneys and corneas removed. Maybe that's Rachel's fate!"
Natalie clenched her fists, glaring at Andrea, "Aren't you afraid they'll hear you?" With Adrian and Donte gone, Andrea had become brazen.
Andrea had gotten carried away and now felt a pang of fear. She quickly scanned the large restaurant, seeing only herself, Natalie, and the busy servants.
One servant, caught by Andrea's gaze, quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn't heard or seen anything.
Andrea looked at Natalie with a smug expression.
Natalie elegantly wiped her lips with a napkin, then picked up her phone and tapped the screen.
A loud, arrogant female voice played from the phone.
"Who knows, maybe Rachel has been sold off as someone's wife or had her organs harvested. I heard about a case where the missing person had their kidneys and corneas removed. Maybe that's Rachel's fate!"
