Chapter 471
Do You Know Where She Is A week later, Genevieve went back to Jadeborough from Dartan. She
gave Johanna a call after she hopped on a cab, but the latter’s phone was on silent the whole time, so
she called James. It was then that she found out that Johanna had made the necessary arrangements
for her work and taken leave. What’s going on? Did she go on a holiday with Timothy? She called
Timothy. “Hey, Timothy, are you with Jojo?” “No. She went missing.” Timothy sounded worried. After
meeting up with Timothy at the General Hospital, Genevieve found out that Johanna was pregnant and
that Timothy’s stepmother was actually Johanna’s mother. After what happened that day, Timothy had
gone after her after she left the café, but he still lost her. He had looked for her at the company and all
the other places that she could have gone to, but he just could not find her. He had even used some
connections so he could check the surveillance cameras, but all those efforts were futile. Having not

know where she could be?” Genevieve thought hard.
There was no way Johanna could leave Jadeborough since her documents were all at home. If she
had taken public transport or the ferry, the surveillance cameras would have caught her in action, but
that was not the case. When Genevieve reflected on what she had heard, she finally understood why
Johanna had married Timothy in a flash—Vanessa’s identity explained everything. “You’re looking for
her because she’s pregnant, aren’t you?” she asked Timothy. He stared at her, surprised. “She’s my
wife. That’s why I’m looking for her. It has nothing to do with whether she’s pregnant or not.” Genevieve
took a quick look at her phone. “Is your car here?” “Yes.” Timothy led the way, and they came to the
parking lot. “So you know where she is?” he asked once they got in the car. “I think so. I’m not sure.”
Genevieve sighed, rubbing her temples. She had had a tough time in Dartan taking care of her
children, and this happened just when she thought she could finally take a break. She had actually
planned on having lunch with Armand in the afternoon.
Timothy glanced at her as he drove out of the hospital. “I’ll do everything you say if we find her. I’ll listen
to you as if you’re my elder sister.” Genevieve laughed. “No, thanks. I don’t need a younger brother
who is older than me. By the way, do you know about Jojo’s family?” Timothy nodded. He was enraged
and dumbstruck when he found out from Johanna that she was actually Vanessa’s daughter. However,
after Johanna left, he began to worry about her and their child. He had been worried sick when he
could not find her all over Jadeborough, so he had talked to Vanessa to learn about Johanna’s
background. “There’s something I think you may not know,” Genevieve said. Then, she told Timothy
about how she had met Johanna at Xedells. “She was still underaged when her parents got divorced.
After that, she was sent to study abroad. Vanessa did not even call her once when she was away, and
her father even sold her.” Timothy did not reply. There was no way he could express how heartbroken
he was. Over the past four years, Johanna had always told him that her parents were doing well in a

Genevieve,” he said, his voice hoarse. Genevieve shook her head and sighed. “I’m telling you this
because I don’t want you to misunderstand her. She has never coveted anything you owned—in
marriage and in divorce. Revenge was not what she wanted either. She just wanted to call Vanessa
‘Mom’ again.”
Genevieve had grown up in a happy family and had received all the love she could get from her
parents ever since she was young, but she could still imagine how difficult it would be to be deserted by
one’s family and live on one’s own. Soon, Timothy’s car stopped at an old residential area. When they
arrived, Genevieve unbuckled her seat belt. “Wait here. I’ll call you if she’s inside.” “All right,” Timothy
replied. The layout of this residential area was such that there were two units on every floor. After
getting the elevator card from the counter, Genevieve went up and found Johanna’s place in no time.
Only after a few minutes did Johanna answer the door. She looked lethargic in her cotton shorts and T-
shirt. There was no color on her pale face.
