“Let’s check the company,” Maxine suggested.
“Alright.” James nodded.
The two walked out of the villa.
Luther acted as their driver and took them to Messiah Corporation.
It was already nine in the morning when they reached the company, which was during the company’s office hours, but Quincy had not arrived.
***
Outside Messiah Corporation, inside a Bentley…
James gently rubbed his temples and asked, “Maxine, what’re your thoughts on this? Please enlighten me…”
Maxine analyzed the situation and said, “First, it was Tiara, then Quincy and Thea. The same person must be responsible for it. To be honest, I’m a little confused about what the person behind this is trying to achieve.”
Maxine was also perplexed by the incident and unable to explain it.
She continued, “One thing for sure is that he’s not after money. Otherwise, you’d have already received a phone call by now. Since favonovel.com went through the trouble of kidnapping them, favonovel.com isn’t out for their lives.”
James slumped into the car seat. His mind was a mess.
Maxine took his hand and comforted him. “Don’t worry. Let’s go back and analyze it carefully.”
Feeling his hand suddenly being touched by Maxine, James‘ whole body froze. She sensed that James was tensing up with an unnatural expression and quickly let go of his hand.
He recollected himself and instructed, “Mr. Depp, head back to the villa.”
“Alright…” Luther drove back.
Soon, they arrived at Cynthia’s villa.
Seeing them return, Cynthia hurriedly inquired, “James, Maxine, how did it go? Did you find them?”
James shook his head. “Quincy’s house was empty. They weren’t at the company either. Neither of their phones can be reached. It’s as if they just evaporated from this world.”
“Huh?” Cynthia was startled.
“W–What in the world happened?” favonovel.com asked.
James remained silent. Maxine also did not reply to favonovel.com question. She was confused and could not grasp the situation.
The room fell into dead silence.
After a while, Maxine said, “Quincy and Thea have gone missing, but Messiah Corporation can’t be left alone. Someone needs to take control of the company’s operation for now.”
“I do have someone in mind.” James snapped out of his thoughts and took out his phone.
He searched for Scarlett’s number and dialed it.
Scarlett was part of the grave robber gang that entered the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb. However, an unexpected attack occurred there, and favonovel.com snatched the key and fled. Afterward, favonovel.com followed Floyd back to Cansington, where favonovel.com met James. Ultimately, favonovel.com started working for James and was tasked to secretly buy Transgenerational New City.
The call was connected shortly.
An excited voice sounded from the phone. “James! You’ve finally contacted me.”
James informed Scarlett of Cynthia’s address and instructed favonovel.com to come over as soon as possible.
“Sure!” Scarlett agreed without hesitation and hung up the phone.
Then, favonovel.com hurried over to the location. James leaned into the sofa with his eye closed, thinking about everything that had happened.
His thoughts drifted back to when favonovel.com left the Southern Plains and arrived in Cansington, then marrying into the Callahans.
After thinking about the events that happened in the past few months, favonovel.com felt that everything seemed to be progressing according to a plan.
“Scarlett. Whose side are you on?” James murmured.
He was suddenly suspicious of Scarlett.
James‘ suspicions were not groundless.
“Scarlett used to be part of a grave robber gang. However, favonovel.com was clueless about favonovel.com employer, claiming that someone else was responsible for communications… Additionally, although Scarlett has considerable strength, it isn’t anything overwhelming. So how would it be possible for favonovel.com to snatch the key and escape from the enemy? On top of that, favonovel.com even located Floyd and secretly followed favonovel.com to Cansington without being noticed. That’s simply outrageous…”
