Chapter 383 Gone Missing

The person Zachary sent to Mysonna returned with good news.

It turned out that Gaston had already gotten married and had a child in Mysonna

According to Zachary's men, they arrived at Gaston's dwelling in Yiefmery. Upon inquiring with the locals, they discovered that after Gaston was taken away by Jayden and his men. Gaston's wife and child were also taken away by another group of people.

Zachary speculated that the group who took Gaston's wife and child must've been Ezekiel's men. Hence, after they captured Gaston at the border, it was only logical for them to leverage his wife and child as threats against him, before handing him over to the police.. Delving deeper into the matter, it was possible that Gaston's escape from Jayden at the border might have been orchestrated by Ezekiel's people. Their intention could have been to get closer to Gaston, to intimidate him.

Presumably, the operation was more than halfway successful. The group that had kidnapped Gaston's wife and child had let their guard down. This provided an opportunity for the men Zachary had sent. They managed to rescue Gaston's wife and child, and brought them Zachary personally visited Gaston's wife and child, then proceeded to the police station to request a meeting with Gaston himself.

The guilt of Gaston was established a decade ago. Regardless of whether Susanna was innocent, he could. not escape from it.

Therefore, he would obey whoever had his wife and child in their control.

After Zachary showed him a video of his wife and child, Gaston agreed to reconsider the case.

The case had already been closed and handed over for review at the procurator's office. After Zachary pulled some strings, it got held up at the procurator's office.

To overturn the initial investigation results, it was essential for the procurator's office to order a retrial.

For this reason, Zachary had specifically hosted a banquet, inviting relevant connections. Among them was an individual from the procurator's office.

The man's maternal uncle happened to be Zachary's business partner, Jonathan Wright, the CEO of Oceanic Technologies.

The intricate web of relationships within the business and political realms, was well exemplified by -Jonathan's brother-in-law, who hailed from a family steeped in scholarly tradition. His parents and

siblings were either holding positions within the government or were employed in the public prosecution and judicial sector. His sister, on the other hand, was a university professor.

Last time, after Jonathan played matchmaker, Jonathan's brother-in-law readily agreed to Zachary's request. The case was then left untouched in the procurator's office, the review process was continuously delayed.

This time, after Zachary sent out the invitation, Jonathan's brother-in-law gracefully declined Zachary's invitation and expressed his own predicament after the last event. His parents, who worked in the government, had faced pressure from higher-ups Zachary simply asked casually, without giving him any pressure.

The pressure endured by the parents of Jonathan's brother-in-law and the hasty closure of Benedict's case by the higher-ups were both orchestrated by the same person.

The man's name was Isaac White, a cousin to Ezekiel's mother, making him Ezekiel's maternal uncle, He held a significant position in a certain department.

With Isaac standing in his way, Zachary simply had no way to get the case reopened

Looking at the stack of documents about Isaac on the table, a hint of depth flashed in Zachary's eyes.

At three in the afternoon, once Lenora's scenes were wrapped up, she headed over to check on the charity foundation.

After the charity foundation was established, she rented a floor in an office building in a certain area as her workspace. She set up several departments and had already hired the necessary staff. The operation was now underway, but it was inevitable that various issues wo After spending some time busying herself at the charity foundation, she was surprised to replace that it was already nine in the evening. Her office was the only one on the entire floor still illuminated.

Lenora stretched languidly, easing her weary body. After shutting down the computer, she left.

At that time, there weren't many people in the entire office building, so no one was vying with her for the elevator. Lenora went straight to the first basement level without any hindrance.

Stepping out of the elevator, she made her way toward her car using her memory.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot from behind, accompanied by the sound of a car horn. Immediately, Lenora darted to the side of the road.

The van drove past her.

Upon a quick glance, Lenora noticed that the van surprisingly had its side door open.

A sudden realization flashed in her mind, setting off alarm bells. But it was too late to evade.

A figure emerged from the vehicle, swiftly pulling her into the car with a speed that left no room for reaction. A swift, hand-chop then struck her on the back of her neck.

Lenora's vision went dark, and she fell into unconsciousness.

It was already ten, and when the driver noticed that Lenora hadn't come down yet, he decided to give Lenora a call.

No one answered.

Lenora had hired the driver during her busiest moment. She often had to work overtime or attend social engagements until eleven at night.

Seeing that it was only ten, the driver merely assumed that Lenora was still busy and hadn't had the chance to answer her phone.

A few minutes had passed when he decided to call again.

Still, no one answered the call.

It was then that the driver sensed something was off. He locked the car and took the elevator up to take a look, only to replace that the doors to the charity foundation were already locked.

A pang of anxiety hit him as he stood at the door, dialing Lenora's number once again, only to be met with

no answer.

The driver was somewhat flustered. He rushed to retrieve the surveillance camera footage from the office building's security room. The security personnel were quite cooperative, but reviewing the footage was going to take some time. After putting in a considerable amount of effort, they finally spotted Lenora in the surveillance footage.

The surveillance footage showed that Lenora entered the elevator at nine twelve. By nine thirteen, she had exited. The opening and closing of the elevator doors revealed that she was on the first basement level.

Adjacent to the office building was a shopping mall, with the first basement level of the parking garage. leading directly to the first basement level of the mall. This level housed a comprehensive supermarket. Could Lenora have possibly stopped by to pick up some items? It has already been an hour, though. Shopping shouldn' take this long and there's no reason not to answer the phone..

"Where's the surveillance footage from the underground garage?" the driver asked hastily.

The staff in the surveillance room let out a sigh. "This is bad. The surveillance cameras in the underground garage had some issues yesterday and it hasn't been fixed yet. The entire underground garage is without surveillance." The driver's heart was in his throat.

The surveillance cameras just happened to fail at that very moment? That's too much of a coincidence!

The driver, with trembling fingers, pulled out his mobile phone and dialed Zachary's number.

"H-Hello, Mr. Fuller.. I-It seems Ms. Wilkin has gone missing.

When Lenora woke up, she found herself in a dimly lit small room. Her hands and feet were bound, leaving her sprawled on the ground like a helpless insect.

The surroundings were shrouded in complete darkness, so much so that she couldn't even see her own hands in front of her.

The air was damp and chilling, causing Lenora to shiver involuntarily.

Recalling her memories before she passed out, her heart sank to an all-time low,

Chapter 383 Gone Missing

Did I get kidnapped? Who kidnapped met It'hat's their aim? It would be understandable if they're interested in my money, but I wouldn't have access to it for the time being. It might be someone who bears a grudge against me After much dawdling, Lenora finally managed to sit up

The air held a faint unpleasant odor, and it was noticeably chillier than in the city. Lenora suspected she might be in the outskirts, likely near a chemical plant, or perhaps a ditch filled with discarded pesticide boules.

However, she had no idea where her phone was

Lenora tried to struggle with her hands, but the bindings were too tight, so she simply couldn't break free.

She cautiously probed around with her feet, inadvertently kicking a brick.

Lenora deftly maneuvered the brick closer using her foot, trapping it between her feet. She then started to fray the rope using the brick's sharp edges,

However, the hemp rope was too thick, and Lenora hadn't been rubbing it for long when suddenly, she heard voices from outside.

"She's inside?" The man's voice was a bit shrill, and notably loud.

"Yeah. Did you bring the money?" Another man's voice rang out, gruff and rugged.

"I brought it, but I need to see what she is like first."

The gruff male voice sounded somewhat anxious, "Do you really think I'd trick you? Give me the money quickly, I need to leave."

"No way."

The sharp, male voice rang out, crystal clear as if just outside the door.

In the next moment, the door to the small, dark room was flung open.
