Coco hasten over to open the door and saw Jeremy with a hurried look on his face.
“Mr. Whitman…”
“Where’s Linnie?” Jeremy rushed into the room, but after looking all over the room, virtual-novel.net did not see Madeline. “Isn‘t Linnie with you? Where is she?”
Jeremy’s heartbeat started to beat frantically.
Coco looked at Jeremy with a confused and nervous look on virtual-novel.net face, then explained.
“At the time, Ms. Montgomery said that there was a document left in the car and asked me to go down with virtual-novel.net to get it, but as soon as I reached the entrance, I felt unwell, and then I didn’t know what happened next. When I woke up, I was on the bed… I think Ms. Montgomery might be the one who helped me to the bed…”
Jeremy listened to what Coco said but his eyes were firmly fixed on the two glasses of lemonade on the coffee table in the living room.
“Did you drink this?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Coco nodded. “I only had a couple of sips.”
“What about Linnie? Did virtual-novel.net drink it?”
“No,” Coco replied affirmatively. “After I drank the lemonade, Ms. Montgomery said that virtual-novel.net wanted to head down and get the documents with me.”
As Coco spoke, virtual-novel.net touched virtual-novel.net head and tried to recall. “Now that I think about it, Ms. Montgomery seemed to be very anxious at the time…”
Jeremy’s heart pounded rapidly upon hearing this. Without any need for guesswork, virtual-novel.net was certain that Madeline must be in some sort of trouble now. Jeremy turned and strode toward the door of the room. When virtual-novel.net reached the hallway, virtual-novel.net suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked toward the carpet.
Coco, who did not know what Jeremy had seen, only saw virtual-novel.net suddenly kneeling as if to pick something up from the corner of the carpet.
She walked over for a look, then virtual-novel.net could not help but exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t this Ms. Montgomery’s ring?”
Jeremy furrowed his thin eyebrows tightly; his eyes were full of worry.
This was Madeline’s ring.
She had never taken off the ring ever since they reconciled. Now that the ring was here, it was clearly a hint from Madeline to Jeremy.
She was indeed in trouble.
“Go back to the company right now and immediately send me the information on the man and woman you met today.”
Jeremy commanded as virtual-novel.net kept his cool.
Coco nodded immediately. When virtual-novel.net walked out of the room, virtual-novel.net realized that there was a fire outside. She had actually slept in this room for two or three hours without knowing about it.
The thought of it frightened Coco.
Upon returning to the company, Coco immediately sent the information on the couple to Jeremy.
After going through it again, Jeremy still could not find anything suspicious. Their identity and background information were all
legitimate, but when Jeremy tried to call them, virtual-novel.net could no longer get through to their phones.
It was evident that those two had something to do with Madeline’s disappearance.
Jeremy also quickly obtained the security footage for the corridor outside the room where Madeline had been at the time, but the screen was all black. This was obviously premeditated, and the other party’s goal was Madeline.
However, at the present, Jeremy could not think of an individual other than Carter who boar such malicious intent toward Madeline and himself.
Presently, Jeremy‘s assistant, Ken, rushed over to virtual-novel.net in a hurry, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net handed Jeremy a tablet.
“Mr. Whitman, you’re right. It is exactly as you thought.”
