Lily scrolled through her phone, her finger nearly poking into the screen. And Zara didn’t dare say a word.
Lily kept scrolling in silence for a while, then suddenly stood up. “No, I have to go and clear this up with Liam.”
Just as she spoke, the doorbell rang. Zara walked over, peered through the peephole, and froze. “Lily, it looks like Mr. Grant.”
Lily gritted her teeth. “Perfect timing. Open the door.”
The moment Zara opened it, more than a dozen black-clad bodyguards rushed in behind Liam and instantly pinned Zara down.
“Liam, I have something to tell you.” Lily tried to speak, but was cut off with a muffled sound.
She was held down too, and unlike Zara, someone clamped a hand over her mouth and nose.
A sharp, choking smell flooded her nose and mouth. At first, Lily struggled with all her strength, but soon she went still and collapsed, limp on the floor.
Zara turned as white as paper with fear. Liam’s expression went cold and he glanced at her without warmth. “I’m here to find someone. You’d better be quiet.”
Several of the black-clad men swept through the apartment and searched every room.
When they came back out they reported, “Mr. Grant, Mrs. Grant is not here.”
Liam’s brow tightened. “She has no relatives or friends in Sairo. Other than Lily’s place, where else could she have gone?”
Then he turned and looked down at Zara, who was still pinned. “You tell me.”
Zara, who had never faced a situation like this, shook her head frantically. “I don’t know.”
Liam walked slowly into the room and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, fiddling with a lighter in his hand. “My wife came with Lily. If she left, she would have told Lily. And you are Lily’s assistant.”
His gaze went even colder. “If my wife suffers even the slightest harm while she’s out, I won’t be able to go after Lily. I will go after you instead.”
Zara broke down in tears. “Mr. Grant, I really don’t know.”
“Good.” Liam stood and gave the guards a look. “Then call the police. Pop star Lily kidnapped my wife, My wife’s whereabouts are unknown and I suspect they’ve abducted her. Take them to the station and have them held for a few days.”
Zara begged, “No, Mr. Grant, you can’t do that. Lily is a public figure. She can’t be taken into custody.”

“Take them away,” Liam ordered.
“No, please, I’ll tell you,” Zara cried out.

Liam stared at her a long time, then signaled the guards to loosen their grip.
Soon, Zara reached under the coffee table, pulled out an old phone, and dialed.
Someone on the other end answered quickly, “Lily?”
Zara said, “Freya, it’s me, Zara.”
