Chapter 381: Are You Truly Ms. Carson?
Hayleyโs POV:
I asked seriously, โHave you seen Benjamin?โ
Christopher shook his head. โNo, I havenโt seen him today. My wolf hasnโt sensed him either. You should ask Lista. She might know.โ
He called Lista over.
When Lista saw my unfamiliar face, she looked confused and asked, โMr. Christopher, who is this lady?โ
I smiled at Lista and said, โLista, itโs me, Hayley.โ
Her eyes widened in surprise. She stepped back a few paces, looking at me in disbelief.
Excitedly, she asked, โAre you trulyโฆ Ms. Carson?โ
I nodded, but Lista still didnโt seem convinced. โMiss, are you kidding me? Ms. Carson isnโt the prettiest, but sheโs kind and sweet. Youโre so beautiful. Itโs hard to believe you could be her!โ
I sighed, realizing that as a true Omega, Lista couldnโt recognize me from my scent. I stepped closer and said earnestly, โLista, itโs really me!โ
But she still shook her head in disbelief. โI donโt believe it unless you tell me a secret that only Ms. Carson and I know.โ
I smiled, leaned in, and whispered something in her ear.
Lista froze, her eyes wide. โYouโre truly Ms. Carson?โ
โYes, Lista! Itโs me!โ
She gasped. โButโฆ this is unbelievable! Did you get plastic surgery?โ
I shook my head, smiling. โNo, I just used to dress simply, and my makeup was rough. This is the real me.โ
Lista seemed to think for a moment before nodding. โI see. Ms. Carson, did you need something?โ
I quickly asked, โWhereโs Benjamin? Has he come back home?โ
The mention of Benjamin made Listaโs expression shift instantly. โOh, Ms. Carson, I almost forgot to tell youโAlpha went abroad this afternoon.โ
โHe left in a hurry because Mr. and Mrs. Southwell had an accident overseas.โ
โWhat did you say? What happened to my parents?โ
Christopher, who had been listening, immediately walked over urgently.
Lista bowed respectfully and explained everything to him. โThey had an accident in Arcadia, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Alpha arranged for a private plane right away, so he should have arrived by now. Before he left, he asked me to apologize to Ms. Carson.โ
After hearing that, Christopher quickly turned and started to leave.
I snapped back to reality and rushed after him. โChristopher, where are you going?โ
โTo Arcadia, to find my parents,โ he replied urgently.
โTake me with you!โ I said without hesitation, and Christopher nodded.
โOkay!โ
โWait for meโI need to grab my passport,โ I said as I rushed upstairs.
But Lista quickly stopped me. โMs. Carson, Alpha told you to stay at home and wait for news.โ
โMr. Christopher, you shouldnโt go either. Alpha stated that he could manage Midnight Packโs affairs independently, with the assistance of his assistant, Tyrone. If thereโs any news, heโll contact you right away.โ
Christine also stepped in. โYes, we donโt know the full situation yet. Going there wonโt help. Itโs better to stay here and wait for updates.โ
Christopher still insisted, โNo, I have to go!โ
Hera was also eager for me to be by Benjaminโs side.
I took a moment to think carefully about whether I should go or wait.
