Chapter 2710 The Crazy Old Man
Damn it, looks like Joan is smarter than I thought! Della clenched her fists tightly in anger and frustration outside the door.
Joan slumped against the sofa and tried to piece together the information that she had. Although I don’t know what exactly happened, I have a rough idea as to what Larry would do… Larry, I’m sure you have some other way of resolving the crisis with Norton Corporation, right?
The look in her eyes grew dim as she stared at the moon outside the window.
Meanwhile, Dustin and Abelyn were on the verge of breaking down from anxiety while searching for Joan.
“Where could she have gone? How did she just disappear like that in such a short period of time?” Abelyn mumbled to herself.
“There’s no one else on the beach…” Dustin said anxiously.
“Joan’s been feeling pretty down lately, Dustin. Where do you think she might’ve gone? She wouldn’t commit suicide, would she?” Abelyn asked worriedly.
“No, Joan isn’t the type who would do such a thing! She’s pretty strong-willed and never stays sad for long…” Dustin explained.
I believe in Joan… She won’t just kill herself out of sadness like this!
“Ma’am, have you seen a very pretty lady…” He asked anxiously while grabbing a middle-aged woman by the arm.
“Calm down, sir… I haven’t seen that woman you’re talking about…” The middle-aged woman replied nervously.
The look in Dustin’s turned ice-cold instantly.
Where on earth is Joan? Did she run into trouble or something?
Abelyn came running over, panting heavily as she asked, “Did you manage to find anything?”
“No…” Dustin shook his head helplessly.
“Try to think… Is there anywhere in particular that she likes to go?”
Where on earth could she possibly like to go in a foreign land like this?
Dustin was stamping his feet in frustration when the middle-aged woman came over and said, “You could try asking that old man over there, though. He stands there every day, so he might have seen something.”
Dustin ran straight towards the old man without any hesitation.
“Sir, have you seen a woman picking seashells around the area?”
The old man turned around slowly and stared blankly at the two of them.
What… What’s with this guy? Why do I feel like he’s crazy?
“Hey, Dustin… Do you think he might be crazy?” Abelyn whispered into Dustin’s ear while staring suspiciously at the man.
“You’re the crazy one! Your entire family is crazy!” The old man started yelling all of a sudden, scaring Abelyn so much that she couldn’t stop shuddering.
Dustin quickly stepped in front of her and explained, “Please calm down, sir… She didn’t mean it that way… She was just worried about you…”
“Hahaha, not bad, young man!” The old man laughed when he saw Dustin’s act of bravery.
Well? Does this old man know where Joan went or not?
“That woman picking seashells… I saw her being taken away by two scary-looking men. You see that log cabin over there? That’s where they’re holding her.”
The old man pointed at a log cabin in the distance.
“Thank you, sir!” Dustin and Abelyn ran off while the old man stood there staring at them.
Everyone says I’m crazy, but they’re the ones that have lost their minds… He then let out a sigh and slowly walked away.
As expected, there were two tough-looking bodyguards watching over the door of the log cabin.
Abelyn gave Dustin a nudge and asked, “Well, Dustin? Think you can beat them?”
