Chapter 8
At the same time, on the other side.
On stage, the music and performance complement each other, but Howard always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The inexplicable panic made him feel a bit uneasy, always feeling like something was about to slip out of his control.
After the musical ended, he felt bored and couldn’t even remember what was said. There was a voice in his head urging him to hurry back. Howard stood up almost instinctively when it ended, startling Veronica beside him. She quickly followed him as he
walked out.
“Howard, Howard! What’s going on? Don’t you like watching this?”
When he heard her voice behind him, Howard’s footsteps paused. He turned around, glanced at her, and finally shook his head “No, it’s just that I suddenly remembered something. I’ll have someone send you back later.”
After saying that, he completely ignored Veronica’s calls and walked away without hesitation.
Veronica didn’t know what she did to upset him, causing him to leave suddenly. She thought about his words just now, and
casually shrugged.
Even if you were really angry, it’s no big deal. After all, the marriage has already been arranged, with cooperation in place, there won’t be any other problems.
Howard didn’t know what was going on with himself until he stood still at the entrance of the villa again, he still hadn’t
reacted.
The villa’s front door was pushed open, he walked in, and instinctively called out that familiar name, “Grete.”
But as time passed by, no one responded.
He suddenly realized, Gretchen hadn’t responded to his calls for a long time.
When did it start?
It seemed like from that day she was in tears holding the photo of him meeting Veronica, she asked him what was going on, and he impatiently threw the photo in the trash, carelessly saying, “I told you it was a business meeting, why keep bringing up
this nonsense?”
Howard forgot how Gretchen reacted at that time, but he remembered that she became more and more silent and distant from
him afterwards.
She has indeed been through a lot recently.
It’s okay, he will make it up to her.
Thinking like this, Howard walked in by himself, but at just one glance, he noticed something was off.
It seems like something is missing.
He furrowed his brow, looked around, and in the unusual silence, his pupils suddenly trembled.
Howard’s eyes were filled with disbelief, his breathing became heavier, everything was searched through one by one, and after
a thorough count, he finally had to admit one thing – “I’ve been robbed.”
Gretchen’s stuff all disappeared.

She left?
But… how could that be possible?
They were together for three years, relying on each other for three years. Their feelings were so deep, how could she suddenly
leave without a word?
Howard didn’t believe it.
The phone rang at that moment, Howard’s mind was in chaos, all he could think about was Gretchen, he didn’t even bother to answer, just let it ring over and over again.
Until I lost track of how long it had been, a sudden knocking on the door was heard.
Howard opened the door as if he had just realized it, Brianna frowned when she saw him standing there and asked, “Why didn’ you answer the phone?” Before Howard could respond, Brianna noticed the mess in the living room and complained, “What ar you doing, making such a mess? And you went out with Veronica today, how could you leave her alone and come back first? You know, you’re getting married soon, you were doing fine before, right…”
