Chapter 307: Expos Our Affair
Vivian carefully examined the photo again. Just as Mason had described, there was indeed a piece of red paper on the soil on the left side of the photo, with Valarnaian characters written on it."
The houses in the distance behind Ava were also in the style of Valarnaian architecture.
She said with certainty, "Yes, this looks like it's in Valarna. Was Ava originally from Valarna?"
"I don't know!" Mason shook his head. "We are both fugitives, and she didn't want to talk about her past, so I didn't ask too much. I beg you. Help me find her, please. I can do anything for you, even give my own life to you!"
Vivian could tell that Mason had deep feelings for Ava. Even a single photo, he preserved it carefully in a sealed bag hidden in his clothes.
To be honest, she also quite liked Ava and was willing to help Mason.
But before she could say anything, Sally sent a message.
"Vivian, agree to him and discuss the conditions with him. Didn't you tell me before that this person named Ava was always with Christopher in a car that day? Later, she didn't go up to the rooftop and disappeared after you left. Christopher's body has never been found. I believe there must be a connection between the two. Maybe Christopher didn't die at all! Could it be that she took him away!"
Vivian frowned as she read the message from Sally.
At that time, Christopher falling on the car roof was witnessed by her own eyes. How could he possibly survive such a fall from such a high place?
She believed that Sally was too paranoid. Sally just didn't want to accept the fact that Christopher had already sacrificed.
However, it was also possible that Ava took away Christopher's body!
Thinking of this, Vivian immediately helped Mason up and said, "Have a seat and talk. I promise to help you find Ava in Valarna, but I also have something to ask you."
"Okay, feel free to ask any questions."
Vivian nodded and said, "You should know that your subordinates are helping me find my friend's body, right?"
"I know, but it seems like there hasn't been any progress. Didn't they report it to you?"
"They did," Vivian frowned, "but as you said, there has been no progress."
"It's indeed difficult to find. Many people go missing in that place every year, let alone a corpse."
"Then let me ask you again," Vivian said. "Tell me in detail about your situation with Ava on that day, where you were before I arrived, what arrangements you made, and tell me everything."
"Okay, that day..."
Vivian finished listening, her expression serious. "So, you mean to say that Ava has never been to the rooftop at all. According to your deployment, she should have been on the ground to support me. But when I went there, I didn't see her. And since that day, she has completely disappeared."
"Yes."
"Alright." Vivian nodded. "I understand. I'll help you find her. Coincidentally, I have something I want you to do as well. Since you found me, then Quinton can find me too. I have enough people around me to protect me, but they are all a bit gauche. You have a wilder way of doing things, so I want you to temporarily be my bodyguard and secretly protect me."
"Okay, as long as you promise to help me find Ava! I can even kill Quinton for you!"
Vivian waved her hand. "This is not Miriwyth. This is a country with laws, and no one can just casually break them. And don't get involved in holding hostages anymore. Do you have any identification here? How have you been surviving these days?"
Mason lowered his head. "I have a passport, but I have no money now. I've been sleeping in the park recently."
"Okay. I'll give you some money and a phone later. Clean yourself up. Find a place to settle down first. I'll arrange for someone to contact you about finding Ava. I'll let you know about my future plans."
After Vivian finished speaking, she immediately made a phone call to give instructions for the matter.
Soon, Emily came up with a file bag, containing cash and a phone.
Vivian handed the things to Mason and personally walked him to her exclusive elevator.
When Vivian returned to the office, Sally was already waiting for her at the door.
"Vivian, when did you start looking for Ava? I always feel like Christopher may not be dead yet. It's very possible that Ava took him back for treatment."
Vivian frowned. She felt that Sally was being delusional. She was more inclined to believe that Ava disposed of Christopher's body rather than saving him.
After the incident, Vivian had people check all the hospitals near Sundusky, but they did not find any place that received a patient who fell from a building.
If Ava took Christopher back to Valarna, it would be even more impossible.
It would be quite difficult for Ava to come here alone, let alone bring Christopher.
"Sally, your thoughts are too optimistic. Ava is a sniper. Perhaps she was lying in an ambush somewhere at that time to cover for me. She might have seen things that we didn't notice. The only thing we can do now is to find her. But the chances of Christopher surviving are really slim."
"But," Sally said hopefully, "maybe miracles really exist in this world?"
Vivian didn't want to discourage Sally, so she nodded and said, "Maybe. In any case, I will arrange for someone to find Ava as soon as possible."
"Yes. The more people, the better. Did you take a photo of what he showed you? Send it to me, and I'll ask Sheldon to help us look for her together."
Vivian sent the photo to Sally and they both went to find Sheldon.
...
The Sampson family was a prominent shipbuilding family.
Under the leadership of Sheldon's father and Sheldon himself, they had developed a huge system of manufacturing various transportation vehicles on land, sea, and air, and had expanded their transportation services worldwide.
This was one of the reasons why Sheldon had resources and connections in every country.
The second reason was his outgoing personality. He loved making friends and it was easy for him to get along with everyone.
But his best friend was still Vivian, as they had known each other since their school days.
He was very happy to see Vivian this time.
Especially when he saw that she had brought Sally back with her.
"I've missed you so much, my queen. It's been so long since we last met. Come here for a hug!" Sheldon eagerly embraced Vivian as soon as he approached her.
Vivian pushed him away after just a second, saying, "I am a married woman now. I can't be so casual anymore."
Sheldon scoffed, "You seem to have forgotten that you used to be quite casual. Come on. Sit here. You wouldn't have come looking for me if there wasn't any trouble."
As they discussed matters, Sheldon became serious instantly.
They first talked about finding Ava, then the conversation shifted to Quinton.
However, when Vivian revealed her plan to lure Quinton out, Sheldon started joking again.
"That's easy. I can find a bunch of reporters and expose our affair behind your husband's back. It will surely go viral on the internet in no time."
