Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)

Chapter 617 Waston Goes Missing

Irene was about to cry but hadn't forgotten her words. "Understood. I'm leaving now, and I'll investigate thoroughly."

She turned to leave and bumped into Roman.

She entered the elevator without looking back, and Roman walked into the office, looking puzzled.

"Mr. Gage, why is she here?" he asked.

Manuel sneered, 'It's about the hospital."

Nodding, Roman placed a document on Manuel's desk. "Mr. Gage, we spent the whole night trying to pry open that person's mouth. He admitted that he was acting on someone's orders, but it wasn't Irene who instructed him."

"It wasn't her?" Manuel asked in confusion.

"Yes, someone else did. Samuel Wade," said Roman solemnly.

Manuel immediately understood that what happened to Serina was not Irene's doing but Samuel's.

All the information they had previously gathered was instigated by Samuel.

"Is Samuel doing all this just for the Wade Group?" Manuel asked.

"Samuel has a huge debt. I heard he got part of the property when the Wade family split up but lost it all within a few months. Shortly after, he owed a lot of money," said Roman.

Manuel pondered for a long time and asked, "Although the Wade Group can still be sold for some money, it is definitely not enough to pay off his debts. So, what exactly does he want?"

Roman shook his head. "We haven't had much contact with this person, but it's easy to find out more about him. We have no idea about his plans for now, but our people have found out that he had contact with a mysterious person a while ago, and so far, we haven't been able to identify who it is."

"I see. How's Serina?" He paused before adding, "And what about that movie star?'

"Ms. Gage is fine. Although the bandaged wound looked scary, the doctor said it didn't hurt her bones. That movie star, however, has a more serious condition. When the impact occurred, he blocked the impact of the airbag with his arm. Serina was fine, but he broke his bone. He has a comminuted fracture now/ Roman spoke in awe.

No one would do such a thing as using their arm to block the impact of an airbag.

Manuel nodded in relief. 'Invite the best experts and make sure he gets the best treatment. His movie will undoubtedly be delayed, and the investors might have some complaints, so you should invest in it."

"Got it."

Roman understood that, at that moment, Manuel had already accepted Miles as 'one of his own."

Manuel's lips opened and closed several times, but he didn't say anything.

Knowing what the other party wanted to say, Roman took the initiative and said, "Ms. Easton just went to Ms. Gage's ward this afternoon."

"Send the batch of items delivered from abroad to the Easton family," Manuel ordered.

Ainsley would probably refuse him straightaway, but Matteo might not.

"It is reported that the daughter of the Glover family, Waston Glover, has been missing for nearly 48 hours. The Glover family called the police immediately, and now the police are frantically looking for her...' Ainsley watched the news with a gloomy face. Matteo happened to come down and noticed her uneasiness.

"What's wrong, Aisy?'

Ainsley immediately replayed the news for Matteo. "Something happened, Matteo.'

Matteo's expression darkened as he looked at the news. Hesitantly, he said, "I've already sent someone to watch over Waston. Why haven't I received any news about her disappearance?"

He immediately picked up his phone and dialed the number, but no one answered.

"No one's answering the phone." Matteo's eyes became solemn. He feared something terrible had happened.

Ainsley looked at the news again and said solemnly, "On the afternoon, the day before yesterday, Waston did not drive home after getting off work.

According to the Glover family, she had to walk home because her car was smashed. The hospital security also stated that they saw Waston leaving the hospital in the surveillance footage. However, the surveillance cameras at the road intersection on her way home did not capture her figure, which means she might have been taken away on that stretch of road."

Matteo nodded. 'You think Kaliyah has something to do with it?'

"No one else but her. The only person Waston has offended is Daniel, but I think he hates me more than anyone else. It's only a guess, after all,' Ainsley said coldly. The police did their best to investigate, but they knew they might not be able to find Waston unless the kidnapper was willing to let her go.

"Let's wait until the kidnapper makes the first move," Ainsley said.

If it was really Kaliyah, her initial target was the shares of the Wade Group in Matteo's hands. In that case, she would not wait for too long. As expected, Matteo received a mysterious phone call in his office that afternoon.

"Who is this?'

A mechanical voice sounded. "Waston is in my hands. Do you want to save her?"

Matteo smiled. "Of course. I do."

"Why? Do you like her? Are the rumors true?"

"That has nothing to do with you." Matteo's tone was cold.

The mechanical voice became slightly angrier. "If you truly like her enough, you can afford any deal."

Matteo asked knowingly, "So, what exactly do you want?"

"Shares. I want the shares of the Wade Group.'

Matteo sneered, "Ms. Packer, isn't it boring to cause such a big scene just for a few shares?"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't expect Matteo to recognize her identity, so she restored her normal voice. 'You know everything?'

"There's no need to continue hiding, Kaliyah. Did you do all of this just for those shares? However, have you ever considered that maybe I don't have much in my hands? If you want to get the most useful shares, you should go and threaten Manuel," Matteo said coldly.

Kaliyah chuckled softly on the phone. "Whatever you say. I still want the shares now. To be honest with you, if you transfer the shares to me, I will release her immediately. Of course, you have two hours to prepare the agreement."

Before Matteo could inquire further, Kaliyah ended the call.

She shoved her phone into her pocket coldly, and Waston, tied to a chair, glared at her angrily.

Waston's mouth was gagged with a cloth, and her hands were tied behind her back.

Kaliyah removed her gag, and Waston fumed immediately, "What do you want?"

"Why are you acting so clueless? Didn't you hear the phone call just now?' Kaliyah laughed.

Waston sneered. "You should be afraid of doing this to me. I'm from the Glover family. If you kidnap me, the Glover family won't let you go. You should think about the consequences you'll face for doing this." Kaliyah looked at her indifferently. She had made her decision and would have to bear the consequences.

"Before saying such nasty things, you should look at your situation first. Are you qualified to say such things to me now?" Kaliyah stuffed the cloth back into her mouth and patted her cheek.

She added, "Don't think you have escaped. You're still tied up here, and I don't mind leaving a few scratches on your face before you leave.'
