Chapter 1917
Carter, who had always admired Madeline’s boldness the most, let go of Madeline’s hand.
Madeline promptly took off her coat and put on the new coat and glasses as per Carter’s instructions.
Carter, very satisfied when he looked at Madeline’s current outfit, then gave the bodyguard another look.
Madeline thought Carter was going to just let her follow him, but in the next second, she heard the fire alarm.
After a while, the people in every hotel room ran out one after another. Since they did not know where the fire started, everyone was running toward the fire escape stairs. The scene was very chaotic.
Carter then smiled at Madeline unhurriedly. “It’s time to go.”
Madeline glanced at Carter. The man was beyond devious.
In such a chaotic situation, even if Jeremy were to ask for the security footage, it might still be difficult to locate her.
The monitoring system on this floor might have already been destroyed by Carter.
After the morning meeting, Jeremy habitually went to the office to find Madeline.
Halfway through, however, he suddenly remembered that Madeline was meeting with clients today.
He looked at the time and thought that Madeline should still be in the meeting with the clients, so he did not call to bother her and he just sent her a message.
After a moment’s wait, there was no response from Madeline. Although Jeremy was a little disappointed, he went to work first.
Time passed silently. After Jeremy finished with the things at hand, he glanced at his silent Whatsapp chat and felt inexplicably perturbed.
It was almost noon, and even if Madeline were still in a discussion, he felt that Madeline would still reply to him.
Jeremy, not giving it further thought, called her directly, but he found that Madeline’s mobile phone was turned off.
Did it run out of battery?
Impossible. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
He would charge Madeline’s mobile phone every night.
An uneasy feeling slowly emerged from the bottom of his heart. Knowing that Madeline also brought her secretary, Coco, along, Jeremy immediately asked for Coco’s contact number and called her hurriedly.
The call went through, but no one answered.
Jeremy called again quickly, and someone finally picked up after the third call.
“Is this Coco?” Jeremy asked as calmly as he could.
On the other end of the line, Coco woke up in a daze. She looked at her surroundings with a fazed look and she felt that everything around her was unfamiliar.
The silence on the other end of the line further made Jeremy uneasy, so he asked immediately.
“Coco, do you hear me? I’m Jeremy Whitman, is Linnie with you? Where are you now?”
Coco was still very confused, but when she heard that the person on the other end of the line was claiming to be Jeremy, she immediately sobered up.
“M-Mr. Whitman, this is Coco. Ms. Montgomery and I are in the hotel discussing matters with the clients, but…”
As Coco spoke, she looked at the empty room before her, then remembered what happened before she fainted, and she was at a loss.
“Send me your address, right now!” Jeremy demanded, rushing out of the office quickly.
In about twenty minutes, Jeremy arrived at the hotel where Coco was in.
As soon as he got into the hotel, Jeremy saw fire trucks parked there.
Jeremy became more uneasy. “Linnie.”
Worried that something might have happened to Madeline, he quickly ran into the hotel. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by a staff.
“Sir, it’s dangerous inside. The fire has not been extinguished. Please wait outside.”
“My wife is in the hotel. Do you think I can wait?” Jeremy pushed the staff who stopped him and rushed in immediately.
Coco, who was still dazed, got up to wash her face. She did not know that there was a fire happening outside. When she was about to sit down and think about what happened, she heard a rapid knocking on the door.
