The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 848 Stood Up

Cedrick let out a nearly imperceptible sigh of relief. “So that’s how it is. Don’t hang up just yet. I’ll have
Swain look into it.”

Having been dozing off for a while, Swain was startled by the sudden ringing of the phone on the table.
He woke up instantly from his slumber and hastily picked up the call.

“What can I do for you, Boss?”

“Look up the recent updates on Charles as soon as possible.”

Charles?

Swain had been in a deep sleep, so it took him a moment to gather his bearings.

Considering that there was no immediate response from the other end, Cedrick’s voice suddenly turned
cold. “Do I need to repeat myself a second time?” A chilling aura emanated from the other end of the
phone, causing Swain to shiver uncontrollably. He quickly responded, “I’ll look into it right away.”

After spending some time tapping away at the keyboard, Swain reported, “I found it. Charles left the
country on a private plane at three in the afternoon. However, it’s unclear which country he went to.”

After receiving the news, Cedrick hung up the phone and called Gwendolyn back.

“You heard it, Charles is not in the country right now.”

His tone carried a hint of relaxation and pride. Gwendolyn shook her head. “Got it. Bye.”

Once again, Gwendolyn dialed Whitney’s number, asking, “Whitney, where are you? I’m coming to find.
you.”

Whitney sent her location.



Soon, Gwendolyn arrived. Upon seeing the private room, she felt a sense of discomfort.

Gwendolyn could understand the feeling of helplessness that came from not being able to find a loved.

Not everyone could have the courage to disregard everything and go to a strange country for one
person.

“Are you okay?”

Whitney shook her head, her face etched with sorrow as if she had lost something most precious.

“I’m so scared, Gwendolyn. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know where he’s gone, what’s happened to
him, or even if he’s safe now… Do you think someone might have kidnapped him? Could those people
be after his wealth?”

Gwendolyn comforted her before informing, “I’ve already asked Cedrick to look into Charles’
movements these past few days.”

“Where did he go today?”

Grabbing Gwendolyn’s hand, Whitney shook it excitedly as if seeking an answer.

“He took a private jet and left the country at three in the afternoon, unknown.”

Upon hearing this, Whitney sat down, feeling lost.

He left at three? At that time, he should have been able to contact me. Why didn’t he let me know?

“He must have had something to attend to when he left. There’s no need to worry,” stated Gwendolyn.
getting late. You should hurry home. It’s not safe for a girl to be out this late.”



Just then, a phone rang suddenly. Whitney immediately picked up her phone, assuming it was him.
However, it was a call from a business partner.

The ringtone ended as Whitney picked up the phone. “Mr. Lowen, Mr. Newton is not in the country
today. If you want to arrange a meeting with him, it’s better to wait a few days.”

The person on the other end of the phone was somewhat disappointed. “How unfortunate. I was just
planning to discuss future plans with him. In that case, please make sure to contact me when Mr.
Newtor returns.”

“Sure, thank you for understanding, Mr. Lowen.”

After Whitney hung up the phone, her expression once again turned uneasy.

“Do you want me to take you home?” Gwendolyn asked worriedly.

Whitney shook her head. “No need. I’m already grateful for your help in finding information about
Charles. I didn’t expect you to come all this way. I’m really sorry. I’ll be heading back soon.”

She was not the type to bother others, especially Gwendolyn, who held such an important place in
Charles’ heart. She would not dare to trouble Gwendolyn any further.

Upon hearing this, Gwendolyn said nothing more. After comforting Whitney for a while, she left the
restaurant.

As Whitney stared at the empty seat across from her, her mood plummeted severely.

It was not just because he stood her up, but because she realized that she still was not that important
in Charles’ heart.



During the time they knew each other, Charles even took the initiative to ask her out. Moving forward….
there was progress in their relationship.

Sitting alone in the restaurant, Whitney seemed lonely.

The server had not seen Whitney for a long time, so he knocked on the door and went in.

“Ms. Mellor, would you like to order something? Or is there anything I can assist you with?”

“No need, I’ll just wait for him here. You go about your business. Don’t worry about me.”

Seeing that Whitney was not in a good mood, the server dared not to disturb her further and withdrew
from the private room.

The music in the private room was soft, but it did nothing to soothe Whitney’s agitated mood.

She continued to send Charles a message every now and then, but there was no response.

Her thoughts were a mess. She made another call to Jasmine, but the latter could not be reached
either.

How could this happen?

After hanging up the phone, Whitney sat there alone. She was waiting for a date, but how could
Charles leave without saying a word?

What on earth does he mean by this?

Thoughts churned in her mind like rolling waves, ceaseless and chaotic.



“It’s already eleven. The restaurant is about to close,” the server gently reminded. “Ms. Mellor, our
restaurant is closing soon, you…”

The sound of the clock ticking away echoed throughout the private room.

Growing more anxious, Whitney gathered her courage to dial Charles’ number for the last time.

Surprisingly, it actually went through this time.

“Hello.”

Hearing his hoarse voice, Whitney was on the verge of tears. She quickly asked, “Where have you
been? Did you encounter trouble?”

Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? I thought that you… What happened?

Whitney wanted to say those but did not.

Right now, she really yearned for a word of comfort from Charles. Even if it was just him assuring that
he was fine, it would be a tremendous solace for her..

Charles paused for a moment before explaining, “Don’t worry. I’m in Muprary for an urgent matter.”

Muprary? Isn’t that place chaotic? Why would he go to that country?

With concern, Whitney asked, “Where did you go by yourself? Did you take anyone with you?”

Upon hearing that it was Charles on the other end of the phone, the server immediately fell silent and
left. giving space for Whitney.

“I brought Isaac with me. I have people on my side here. Nothing will happen.”



His voice was faint as if he had completely forgotten about their date.

Since he did not mention it, Whitney dared not to bring it up herself.

The conversation between the two suddenly fell silent. Whitney’s hand that was clutching the phone
gradually grew warm as sweat began to seep out.

The line was silent for several minutes before Charles suddenly spoke. “Sorry, I stood you up on our
date.”
