After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 140

Missing?

Lyra frowned, "How can she be missing when she's staying in jail?"

Fifteen shook his head, "She disappeared during the half-hour activity time after dinner yesterday. Just like evaporating without leaving any trace."

"No trace?"

Lyra laughed, "An adult can still disappear like that? How can we not find out? We must investigate thoroughly! Who has been visiting her recently and for how long? Check them all carefully! Don't miss a single detail!"

"Yes."

"Wait."

Fifteen was about to leave the office when Lyra called out to him with a stony face, "Check all of Fred's recent prison visits again."

"You are suspicious of ..."

Fifteen didn't finish, and Lyra's gaze grew colder and colder.

Hopefully, she was overthinking it.

Heavy rain poured down in that afternoon.

When the night was falling, the rain did not stop, but went heavier and heavier.

The heavy rain invaded the window glass, splitting the original intact glass into what seemed like one crack after another.

The weather was horribly gloomy, as if it was telling something.

Lyra was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window enjoying the rain. Her expression was indifferent, not knowing what to think about.

Fifteen spent the entire morning plus the afternoon, only to return to report back to Lyra near the end of the day.

"Miss, I have thoroughly checked all the records and found that only one person has visited Charlotte and Fred respectively in the last half month or so."

Lyra's face was sullen, "Who?"

"It's ...Chad," Fifteen handed her the information respectfully and continued, "And not too long ago, Fred also disappeared from the prison for an hour and ended up saying that he got into the freezer by mistake. And he was locked inside when the staff left, but ..."

"But what?"

"He was found covered in blood and bruises. I heard it looked like he had been beaten with a horsewhip or whip or something ... and Fred and Chad both seemed to be under Mr. Freeman."

Lyra tightened her brow as she listened, "Why is this matter only being reported now?"

"Because at that time they thought he really was accidentally locked inside the freezer. Or maybe he has a grudge with the head of one faction and was beaten. After all, he was not missing, so they all thought nothing serious."

There was no such a tool as the whip that can strangle people in the prison. It was obviously he was transported out, and sent back!

The purpose of this was self-evident.

Lyra suddenly remembered Melvin's abnormality when she returned to Seaside Villa yesterday afternoon ...

It seemed like he was purposely dragging her out. Was he afraid she would find out about Charlotte's disappearance?

She checked the investigation report and found that it just happened that Charlotte disappeared at that time.

Can it really be such a coincidence?

By the time she got back to Seaside Villa, Melvin was all happy again ...

Was he celebrating Charlotte's successful escape from prison?

Oh.

She thought he was genuinely repentant these days, but alas, was it all about reducing her attention so he could save Charlotte?

What he said was all bullshit? To save Charlotte, right?

Unbelievable!

The more Lyra thought about it, the angrier she got. She tipped the stack of file folders on the corner of the table onto the floor.

There was a crash and the office was full of papers.

"Miss ..."

It was the first time Fifteen had seen her lash out, and he took two steps back in fear.

Lyra's cold eyes narrowed slightly, "Go back to the villa!"

In order to prevent her from driving in anger, Fifteen volunteered to take on the driver's role.

The heavy rain clattered on the car window glass. The sound was loud and noisy.

Instead of being doused by the rain, the anger in Lyra's heart was burning badly.

When she arrived at the villa, Fifteen was about to give her an umbrella and open the door for her, when she got out of the car by herself and walked straight through the rain all the way into the garden.

Fifteen was terrified and rushed after her, "Miss! Take an umbrella! You don't want to catch a cold!"

In the villa, Melvin was cooking in the kitchen and was caught off guard when he heard Fifteen yelling.
