As soon as Peter heard this, he felt a lump form in his throat.

After a long pause, he said in hushed tones, "I think Mr. Evans is currently dealing with something. How about I send a car to drive you and Edwin toward the Evans' house? Once he's done with work, he will rush back to see you."

Cecilia didn't sense something was amiss and just let it pass.

She wanted to see Mark now and was about to reply, but his call with Peter was cut off due to the poor signal.

So instead, she asked the staff directly and found out where Mark was.
