Chapter 160
Speed up,” Gregory said suddenly.
Dexter flinched in surprise and glanced uneasily at the current speed. It was already close to 60 miles per hour.
“Speed up!” Gregory ordered again.
“Yes, sir!” Dexter’s heart skipped a beat as he pressed down harder on the gas.
What was originally a 30–minute drive was cut down to 15.
By the time Dexter finally brought the car to a stop, his facial muscles were twitching, and his right foot wouldn’t stop shaking
Cyrus looked surprised when he saw Gregory, “Mr. Sinclair?”
Gregory rarely came back this early.
Gregory stepped out and slammed the car door shut behind him with a loud bang. His heavy footsteps echoed as he strode into the house.
“When was the last time Anathea came back here?” he asked.
“About a week ago. She hasn’t returned since the day she left.” Cyrus was confused. “Is something wrong?”
Something was very wrong.
That meant ever since that night Anathea had walked out, she hadn’t come back. If it hadn’t been for that whole mess with Natalie, she wouldn’t have seen him at all, let alone revealed where she was.
A gnawing unease gripped Gregory’s chest.
He hurried upstairs and flung the door open. But the moment he saw what was inside, his steps came to an abrupt halt.
The master bedroom was clean and tidy, but it lacked many of Anathea’s traces.
The clothes she usually wore, the skincare products she kept on the vanity, and the jewelry in her box were all gone.
If she’d just been staying at the hospital to care for Fiona, there would be no reason to take so much with her.
At once, that unsettled feeling surged into something sharper. Gregory grabbed his phone and opened her contact.
He’d looked at her number dozens of times over the past few days, but he’d never called her because of his ridiculous pride.
He’d thought to himself that since Anathea cared so much about the position of Mrs. Sinclair, there was no way she would leave him. So, he wouldn’t be the one to call her; he would wait for her to reach out to him.
He would wait for her to apologize and return to his side as the compliant Mrs. Sinclair.
Little did he know that all of it had been nothing but his own misguided assumptions.
When Gregory dialed Anathea’s number, the cold, mechanical voice on the other end of the line announced, “The number you have dialed is no longer in service.”
No longer in service? That couldn’t be right.
Gregory staggered back a step, clutching his phone tightly.
Just then, his phone rang.
Gregory’s eyes lit up, as he thought it was Anathea calling. He immediately answered. His tone was a mix of annoyance and a hint of happiness. “Ana-”
“Mr. Sinclair.” It was Martin’s voice.

The words that were on the tip of Gregory’s tongue immediately faded, and the glimmer in his eyes disappeared in an instant. His tone grew icy, laced with impatience. “What is it?”
“There’s a document that requires your attention…”
“I don’t have time for this!” Gregory refused without hesitation. He was about to hang up and send someone to find out which hospital Anathea had taken Fiona to.
Had she left because of the constant encounters with Natalie at the hospital? If that was the case, he could arrange for them to go somewhere else.
Gregory was ready to act. “I’m hanging up now.”
“Wait, Mr. Sinclair! Don’t hang up!” Martin cut in before Gregory could end the call.
“This document is really important.” His tone was filled with surprise and urgency. “It’s a divorce agreement from Mrs. Sinclair.
