This is weird. Where did she go?
Lance called Travis, but the latter told him they hadn’t received any news from Sasha after the exhibition came to an end. Hence, they thought she had gone back to Avenport.
Panic gripped Lance.
He brought Vivian to the Blackwood residence. “Uncle Jackson, can you take care of Vivian? I need to head to Summerbank. Sha didn’t come home. I need to find her.”
He was anxious as he was still very young.
Jackson’s eyes widened in surprise. “What do you mean by she didn’t come home? She’s an adult. Did she get lost?”
Lance said nothing as his face paled visibly.
In the end, Jackson followed Lance over to Summerbank.
Two days passed, but Sasha was still nowhere to be seen.
It was as though she had vanished into thin air.
“Uncle Jackson, should we ask for Sebastian’s help? I’m worried about Sha,” Lance suggested, anxiety evident in his expression.
At the mention of that name, Jackson retorted furiously, “Why do we need his help? Sasha has nothing to do with him anymore! Let’s make a police report!”
He told Lance to make a police report.
Still, Sebastian found out about her disappearance soon.
“Mr. Hayes, Ms. Wand went missing at the exhibition. A trading company, Hurricane Trading Company, brought her away to see some samples. She didn’t come back after that.”
“What company is that?” He stopped working as his expression went dark in displeasure.
Luke swallowed nervously. “The company is legitimate and doing well. But, they claimed they never took part in the exhibition or bring anyone back to their office.”
In an instant, the air in the room stilled.
Besides the murderous aura that surrounded the man, Luke could see the color draining out of his boss’ face.
Both of them headed to Summerbank at once.
Two hours later, havoc ensued in Summerbank. Besides Hayes Corporation’ employees, the police and relevant departments were dispatched in full force to locate a woman who went missing during the exhibition held at Commerce Tower!
Luckily, their efforts returned results that very afternoon.
“Mr. Hayes, we found her. She’s in Crystal Hotel, located in the northern suburbs.”
“What? A hotel?” Sebastian stared at the messenger in disbelief. He had already finished two packets of cigarettes in a short amount of time.
The person nodded. “Yes. When we found her, the hotel management told us she checked in five days ago and never left.”
Rage rose in Luke’s heart upon hearing the news.
Everyone is searching for her. We even came to Summerback to join in the search. Turns out she’s in a hotel?
He could barely tamp down his fury.
Sebastian’s expression turned stony.
Immediately, they headed to that hotel.
Indeed, they saw the police and the hotel owner waiting in front of Sasha’s room upon their arrival. They greeted Sebastian politely.
“Mr. Hayes, the person you’re looking for is in the room. We’ve confirmed it.”
“Open the door!”
Sebastian saw red and ordered the door to be opened without hesitation.
The hotel owner hastily swiped the key card to open the door. When the door slid open, Sebastian strode in and banged the door shut.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Luke was smart enough to disperse the crowd upon seeing his employer’s action.
Meanwhile, Sebastian went into the room and saw the woman lying in bed. Flames of anger licked through him at the sight as he yelled, “Sasha Ward, get up now!”
Silence greeted him.
How dare she doesn’t respond to my yell! Da*n it!
He lost patience and pulled the covers off her. “Sasha…”
His roar came to an abrupt stop.
The woman was indeed the one he was looking for.
However, she was still decked in the clothes he bought for her five days ago. The most horrifying thing was, her pants were smeared with blood. Even the bedsheet was stained in crimson red.
What happened?
His brain went blank as the anger faded from his expression.
“Sasha, wake up. Sasha…”
There was no response from the woman. She’s unconscious!
Blanching in horror, he picked her up at once and barked, “Send help!”
Outside, Luke heard his boss’ unusual yell and opened the door at once.
“Mr. Hayes, what happened?”
“Hurry, prepare the car. We need to send her to the hospital, now!”
His voice was trembling as he barked out the order.
