Chapter 2974

Gabriella rebuked in a petulant manner, "Hey, who the hell do you think you are to yell at me when I'm Joan's best friend? Why the heck would I abduct her? You sure don't seem like someone who would talk that way! Stop accusing me of things I have never done!"

She didn't bother to hold back since the person in front of her was a man.

Oh? I guess she has gotten better with her words after spending her time abroad, huh? Jory glanced at her with a skeptical look and turned around to ask Nancy, "Are you certain that Joan disappeared prior to your arrival?"

Nancy merely nodded in response to Jory's query as she broke down in tears.

Irked by Nancy's crying, Gabriella yelled at her, "Hey, stop crying already. It's not going to help! We need to get going and search for Joan immediately!" She's right! We don't have time to spare! We need to replace out Joan's whereabouts as soon as possible! Otherwise, she's going to be in grave danger!

"I have already dispatched a team to look for her. Has any surveillance system been installed in the villa?"

Jory directed another question at the duo.

Surveillance system? As a thought struck Nancy, she wiped her tears dry and sprinted into one of the storerooms.

Previously, Larry had told her that if anything were to happen to Joan, she could access the surveillance system to replace Joan's whereabouts.

Shortly after they barged into the storeroom, they saw from the surveillance footage that Joan was rendered unconscious by a team of mysterious men. They could only see the abductors through the surveillance camera in the yard because the ones at the entrance were faulty.

It was unfortunate as they couldn't see the abductors' faces clearly.

It was a tricky situation.

After much consideration, Jory made up his mind to inform Dustin of the incident.

Once Dustin picked up the call and learned of everything, he yelled in return, "Why was she abducted out of the blue?"

As Dustin got dressed, Abelyn, who was next to him, smirked and gloated over Joan's misfortune.

Wow! Has she been abducted again? I guess God must be on my side! Joan, just how miserable can your life get? "Abelyn, let's hurry up and head out to replace Joan!"

She stopped Dustin the moment he tried to drag her out with him.

He turned around and asked with a concerned look, "What's wrong?"

"Dustin, I'm not really feeling well. Why don't you go ahead without me?"

Abelyn made something up to dissuade him.

"Alright, if that's the case, go take a nap or do something that's going to make you feel better.If you can't take it anymore, head over to the hospital immediately." Dustin departed after he delivered his instruction.

Ha! I knew it! Joan has always been the only one he cares about! Sneering, Abelyn turned around and returned to the couch.

She found herself pitiable because she was nothing more than a fool who had wasted her time taking care of a man who was head over heels in love with another woman.

Truth be told, Dustin merely considered Joan a close acquaintance of his.

Abelyn was the one he truly cared about, yet she wasn't aware of the affection he had for her.

Joan, it's about time for you to leave us alone! It's better if you're dead! Narrowing her eyes while looking out the window, Abelyn's expression was filled with murderous intent as she secretly prayed for Joan's demise.

"Have you found her? What about Larry? Have you informed him?"

Dustin asked while panting for breath the moment he reached the trio.

Nancy replied in a barely audible voice, "He's currently away for a work trip."

Gabriella, who was next to Nancy, added, "Luck isn't on our side because we couldn't gather any intel on Joan's whereabouts just yet."

When Dustin noticed Gabriella's presence, he marched over and sized her up with a skeptical look.

"Gabriella? Why are you here?"

What the heck is happening? Who are all these people who seem to be my friends? The embarrassed woman caressed her hair timidly and asked in a hushed voice, "Do you know me as well?"
