NOVPUBChapter 889: Chapter 889: Missing Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Missing Grace Ziegler was completely deaf to any reasoning, her eyes filled with hatred.
After changing her shoes, Grace Ziegler furiously slammed the door as she left.
The harsh sound of the slamming door caused Ella Charles to tremble, her body involuntarily jolting with shock.
Ella Charles’s eyes widened in panic, her heart aching as if it were being sliced open, an indescribable discomfort pressing on her chest.
She never, ever would have imagined this was the child she had raised and nurtured with care.
She had loved Grace for so many years, only to be repaid with fright and heartache. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Tears began to fog Ella Charles’s eyes, gradually forming into droplets that silently overflowed and slid down her cheeks.
...
…
After packing her belongings, preparing to leave Serene City, Ella Charles struggled with her decision but ultimately resolved to look for Daniel Marshall at Marshall Corporation.
Unable to persuade Grace Ziegler to let go, Ella Charles had no choice but to have a talk with her son.
Although she hadn’t raised her son or instructed him, Ella Charles couldn’t just watch him make mistakes; she had to stop their immoral actions, not to wrong her daughter-in-law, and she needed to take responsibility for the entire situation.
While waiting for a bus near her community, Ella Charles suddenly recognized Sebastian Thompson sitting in a private car.
Immediately, Ella Charles felt panicked, her face turning pale.
Fearing recognition and not forgetting the threats of the Thompson siblings, in her extreme terror, Ella Charles didn’t even look and hastily boarded an about-to-depart bus.
Once on the bus, Ella Charles stood within the crowd, focusing only on avoiding Sebastian Thompson.
Her mind was a complete blank, dominated by frantic panic.
After numerous stops, with half of the passengers gone, Ella Charles was still not back to her senses.
Only when she was the last person on the bus, as the driver called out to her a few times, did Ella Charles wake from her terror, looking at the driver in bewilderment.
“Ma’am, where are you going?
Aren’t you getting off?
This is the last stop, everyone has left.
I need to take a break now, it’s time for my meal.”
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings outside, Ella Charles felt completely at a loss, “Driver, where is this?”
“This is an industrial area on the outskirts of Serene City.
Ma’am, did you get on the wrong bus?”
After a pause, Ella Charles nodded her head.
The driver sighed, “Ma’am, if you want to take a bus back to the city center, you’ll have to wait 15 minutes.
This factory area is quite remote, and it’s difficult to catch a ride.
It would be best to go back the way you came.”
Ella Charles nodded in astonishment, had no choice but to get off the bus, and stood aside to wait for it to start again.
…
Having lost the person they were following, and two hours having passed without finding her, Simon Howard’s subordinates could only report back.
The situation was serious, and Simon Howard immediately reported to his boss, “Daniel, our men lost sight of her during the tail, and we also saw Sebastian Thompson passing by, we’re not sure…”
Daniel Marshall wasn’t listening anymore, immediately dialing his mother’s number.
To his shock, his mother’s phone was turned off.
In that instant, Daniel Marshall strode towards the secretary’s office, raising his voice as he questioned Grace Ziegler, “Was your mother going to the bar?
What did she say?
Contact her right away!”
Grace Ziegler was baffled and scared, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief that Daniel Marshall could be so harsh and loud, “Chief! Chief Daniel Marshall…”
“Can’t you hear me?”
Daniel Marshall’s tone was eerily cold, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Out of fear, Grace Ziegler quickly pulled out her mobile phone to call her mother.
Her mother’s phone was already switched off.
By this point, Grace Ziegler still couldn’t grasp why Chief Daniel Marshall was raging so furiously.
Daniel Marshall’s eyes were frightfully fierce as he commanded harshly, “Go home right now and the moment you see your mother, call me.”
