NovelEnglishChapter 1153 Callum had gone missing while investigating Winona's manager.
The killer must have wanted to prevent Callum from discovering the truth about Winona through the manager. Pretending to be Callum to contact Elysia was likely a way to deter Elysia from pursuing Winona's case.
This cover-up only confirmed one thing-something bad had happened to Winona! Tarquin exhaled deeply, turning his gaze to Elysia.
He wasn't particularly concerned about Winona, but Elysia was a different story.
Winona was Elysia's best friend, almost like another sister, much like Blossom was. They were as close as family.
Elysia was eagerly hoping Winona would be back hfor the holidays.

Furrowing his brow, Tarquin turned to Keaton and said, "I need you to dig into Winona's husband's romantic history." Keaton raised an eyebrow, "You think her husband might've done something to her?" "He's a prsuspect." "Alright, I'm on it." If there was anyone who could uncover secrets of the heart, it was Keaton.
Elysia was on edge, sensing something wasn't right.
When she saw Tarquin hang up the phone, she rushed over, anxiety written all over her face.
"What happened to Callum?" Tarquin's expression softened with empathy.
He couldn't let Elysia continue reaching out to Callum without any defenses in place.
He decided to be honest, "Something might have happened to Winona." Elysia's mind went blank, the words hitting her like a freight train.
"What... what did you say?!" Tarquin quickly pulled her into his arms, trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry. Winona is your best friend. I'll leave no stone unturned in finding out what's going on." Elysia pushed away from him, her face a mix of anger and sorrow, her eyes red- rimmed, lips trembling. "Who... who told you something happened to Winona?" Tarquin's heart ached, but there was no turning back now. He had to confront the reality with her.
He explained about Callum's disappearance and the bits of information Keaton had uncovered, emphasizing, "I said something might have happened." Though, deep down, he was certain. He just couldn't bear to break her heart even more.
Elysia's eyes filled with tears.
"Winona's manager quietly terminated her contract?" "Yeah." "And Winona's manager is dead?" "...Yes." "Then... then where is Winona now? Where's our Winona?" Elysia's tears flowed freely, and she was shaking like a leaf, her voice hoarse.
"They said she was on a film shoot, Zane Livingston said so, too. They said she s Blossom a confidentiality agreement, so she couldn't reach out to us... she... she..." Tarquin couldn't take it anymore and enveloped her in another hug, holding her tightly.

He knew the depth of Elysia's bond with Winona and understood there was little he could say to ease her pain. With her best friend's fate unknown, of course, she was devastated.
To her, Winona and Blossom were as precious as her own children.
"Let it out, cry if you need to..."
Elysia let out a heart-wrenching sob, "Tellyou're lying! TellKeaton is wrong! Please, telnothing happened to Winona, that she's fine, that she'll be hfor Christmas, please..." "Please, don't scare me, I'm so afraid..." Tarquin held her, his own eyes misty.
He was torn between his love for Elysia and the burning anger at whoever dared to harm Winona.
Whoever they were, they had a death wish messing with Elysia's best friend.
"I'll find her for you, I promise. Whether she's alive or... whatever the case may be, I..." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
