Chapter 879

When Stella finally got through Roger‘s phone, she heard a female voice answering instead of Roger‘s.

“Ella...”

Stella was stunned for a moment. “Riley? Is Roger with you?”

There was a long pause.

Stella‘s heart suddenly sank. “Why hasn‘t he been answering my calls? What happened?”

Riley took a deep breath before saying, “Ella... Roger‘s missing.”

Her voice was hoarse, and she sounded fatigued. “We‘ve been looking for him for several days, but we
couldn‘t find him anywhere.”

“What?”

Stella immediately stood up from the sofa.

The whole living room was suffocatingly quiet.

At that moment, she was unable to hear anything. Even the chirping cicada outside the window seemed
to have gone silent all of a sudden.

“What do you mean he‘s gone? How could such a large guy go missing?”

Riley, too, sounded extremely anxious and panicked. “I don‘t know where he went. He didn’t come to
class a few days ago,



so I went to his tutor and was informed that he was on leave, but he didn‘t say where he went. I went to
find him at his place, but his roommate also said he didn‘t see him for several days...”

“Then how did you get his phone?” Stella asked her.

“At first, I thought he was just going out to relax, but I couldn‘t contact him for a few days, so I reported it
to his teacher and roommate. Everyone began to get really worried, so I went to his room to look...

“I saw that he didn‘t bring his phone, as it was on his desk. The battery had already gone dead. The
minute I charged it, you called.”

Stella could hear her voice tremble as she asked, “Have you traced his steps?”

“We need to ask the police for this.”

“Haven‘t you reported it?!” Stella‘s voice raised instantly.

“The thing is….”

Riley was in a dilemma. “His current situation is not a case of disappearance for no reason. Before he
left, he deliberately asked for a leave, and it was obvious he didn‘t want to be contacted, so it would be
useless even if we went to the police now.”

There was a long silence from the other end of the phone.

Riley could hear Stella‘s breathing getting heavier with every passing second.

Stella was anxious too. “Ella, what should we do?”

In fact, she was worried sick. What if something terrible happened to Roger?

Flooded by bad news and shocking information, Stella felt herself getting dizzy.



Although she had had a bad feeling for some time now, knowing that her predictions were accurate didn‘t
make her feel good.

After a long time, she regained her senses. “Have you heard any news from abroad?”

Riley paused before saying, “What news?”

Compassvale had a different time zone. Since she was studying there, she didn‘t pay much attention to
what was happening in the country.

In the past, she would care about the latest gossip, but ever since she got to Compassvale, her whole
heart had been devoted to Roger.

It was either that, or she would put all her time into her academics.

Stella asked with some hesitation. “Did Roger hear any news before he disappeared?”

“I‘m not sure.”

Riley was worried. “He didn‘t go back to find you?”

“No.”

This was what Stella was worried about the most.

Roger would‘ve returned the minute he knew about her and Roger’s wedding.

Why would he disappear without a sound?

When Weston returned home, he saw Stella‘s sad face and frowned. “What‘s wrong?”

At the entrance, he casually threw his suit jacket aside.



Before he could stand still, she ran in front of him. “You‘re back...

The man took her into his arms, patted her on the back, and comforted her.

Stella hugged him, her hands shaking a little.

Weston paused, then asked, “Who bullied you?” in a slightly icy voice.
