Chapter 215 Have to Find Her
After dragging her weary body back to the hotel, Melinda opened the tub faucet and found a bathrobe. The steam quickly fogged up the mirror, blurring the tired-looking face reflected in it.
After adjusting the water temperature, she laid back in the bathtub with her hair hanging loose.
She played a song on her phone and glanced at the number of steps she had taken that day. The screen displayed 20,520 steps, placing her first among her online friends.
She stared at the number for a while, finding it somewhat interesting.
She had wandered outside all day like a wandering soul, with nothing to show except a few more traces of melancholy in her heart.
Even if Stanley was looking for her, he might not be able to find her, for she discovered that her check- in information had been deliberately erased, which made her marvel at Jennifer’s immense power and strong determination.
Even after soaking in the bath for half an hour, her physical and mental exhaustion continued clinging to
her.
With that, she got up, put on her bathrobe, and went up to the bedroom floor-to-ceiling window. She sipped some red wine and admired the sparkling lights outside, but her heart still felt empty.
She wondered how Samuel and Pamela were doing. Are they okay?
The night breeze brushed against the window, gently tousling her hair. In that instant, she became clear- headed and couldn’t help but admit that Stanley was the first person to distract her attention.
On the same night, Stanley arrived in Navelie. After getting off the plane, he went straight to the hotel, accompanied by several of his men.
It was almost midnight when he reached the luxurious presidential suite. Without even taking a shower, he immediately dialed a certain number and issued his low voice instructions. “Even if you have to turn Navelic upside down, you must find Melinda. I don’t care how much time it takes; just get the job done. Dispatch personnel to the airport to check the surveillance and thoroughly review the surveillance footage of all hotels and inns.”
He also knew that the check-in records had been erased, and it was impossible to find anything through the public security system.novelxo.com fast update
Since Stanley had come to Navelie, he had made up his mind. He wasn’t going back until he found her.
“Leave this to us, Mr. Fox. Rest assured, we’re already halfway through screening the airport surveillance, and we are actively investigating the surveillance footage of various hotels. We have mobilized all available resources and will have results soon,” the person on the other end of the line reported.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Stanley expressed his gratitude sincerely before ending the call.
He sat on the couch in the empty room, where silence hung heavily, and he held a teacup with his injured hand, taking a sip of tea.
His fingers were no longer wrapped in gauze. He found it cumbersome and replaced it with a large band- aid. The bleeding had stopped, but it still hurt whenever he moved.
This pain constantly reminded him that deep down, he was angry.
Just then, his phone rang, and he picked it up to check the caller ID before answering
“Have you arrived in Navelie, Mr. Fox?” Max’s voice came through.
“Just arrived.”
“Don’t be too anxious,” Max reassured him. “After all, Young Master Samuel and Young Miss Pamela are still with you. She will return eventually.”
“Did you call just to tell me that?” Stanley didn’t want to hear any comforting words. He just wanted to find her quickly.
“Not entirely. Um… you should take care of your hand. Make sure it doesn’t get infected.”“ Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Right.”
“And also… Max had something else to say, and it seemed that this was the reason he called.
Alas, Stanley was growing impatient. “What is it? Spit it out.”
The grand wedding you asked me to arrange earlier… It’s almost ready now. I just want to ask if.. we should continue, or should we.. put it on hold?” After all, the bride was no longer available.
“Why put it on hold?” Stanley couldn’t understand. “I will still give her a grand wedding even if she’s dead!”
Max was stunned. “Alright, I understand. Please rest early
Stanley hung up the phone. A resolute glint flickered in his profound eyes, but his heart ached so much that he struggled to breathe.
He had forgotten about his status. There was only one belief in his heart: the need to find her.
That night, Stanley struggled to sleep once again.
