Chapter 2939 Abducted
“She’s gone, son. By the way, didn’t you say that you heard her voice last night? Do you remember what you heard?” Clara grabbed her son’s hand and asked. She regretted not letting her son go to check on Joan the moment he heard something. If he had gone to check on her soon enough, this wouldn’t have happened.
“I didn’t hear it clearly,” Johann replied. He was also filled with regret for not knocking on Joan’s door last night and this morning to check if something was amiss.
Jessica sat frozen on the sofa with a look of helplessness on her face. How was she going to find Joan?
“Let’s call the police!” Johann hollered.
“Wait a minute. Don’t call the police first. I need to inform Larry about this. Please don’t say anything about this to anyone yet. I’ll leave now, and I’ll call you later.”
After saying that, Jessica ran out of the house. No matter what, she had to tell Larry about this. At that time, Larry appeared to be swamped in his office.
Bang! Jessica hurled the door open and barged into his office as she tried to catch her breath. Larry looked at her with disdain.
“Larry, something bad happened,” Jessica said in panic.
“What happened?” Larry asked nonchalantly.
Jessica lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she summoned her courage and told him what had happened.
“What did you say? Joan’s abducted? When? Who’s behind it?” Larry stood up and roared at her.
She knew nothing. Jessica shook her head and hung her head in guilt.
She had promised the man in front of her that she would take good care of Joan. But now, Joan was being abducted by someone again.
“No clue? Is there no evidence at all at the scene?” Larry asked cruelly.
“Where’s Caspian? Caspian!” he hollered after that.
“What’s wrong, Larry? What’s going on?” Caspian came running in and asked cautiously. He knew that something must have happened whenever Larry blew his top.
“Joan’s been abducted. Gather some men and find her.”
Jessica was in distress as she watched Larry grow more and more anxious. She was clueless as to why things would turn out to be like this. One thing for sure was that she found that house for Joan’s sake.
“I didn’t mean for this to happen, Larry. I did not expect this to happen,” Jessica stammered as she tried to explain herself. At that time, Larry could not listen to a word from her. He ignored her and dashed out of his office.
Jessica was filled with regret as she watched his retreating figure disappear from her sight. If she had known that such a thing would happen, she wouldn’t have found a house for Joan.
“Ms. Zimmer, what’s wrong with Mr. Norton? Is he alright?” One of the staff ran up to her and asked worriedly.
“He’s fine,” she waved her hand and replied.
Norton Corporation’s employees had panicked from the earlier incident that happened some time ago. And now that the employees saw how flustered Larry was when he ran out of his office, it was only natural for Jessica to appease them.
“Jessica, is there any surveillance system in the house?” Larry asked her when he called her on the phone.
Surveillance system? Suddenly, Jessica’s eyes lit up.
That’s it! Why have I forgotten about the surveillance system? When she bought the house, she had specifically asked for a surveillance system to be installed for Joan’s safety.
“Yes, there is,” Jessica answered as she ran to the car. Soon, she reached the villa and pulled over in front of the entrance.
As expected, Joan’s abduction was captured on the home surveillance camera.
“See that, Caspian? Find out that license plate number,” Larry roared as he pointed at the car in the surveillance system.
“I’ll get to it right away.”
Damn it! How dare anyone abduct Joan? I hope she’s unharmed. Otherwise, I’ll nail you down and turn your life into a living hell. Larry balled his fists angrily.
