Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1046

Meanwhile, when Michael realized that Grape had gone missing, it was already too late. She was nowhere to be seen.

The group exchanged glances, their expressions filled with terror. "We're doomed!" they thought.

Michael was the first to calm down. "Let's start by searching around. I'll go find the person in charge of the hotel to report the situation."

Since the child was barely over a year old, she couldn't have gone far. However, to their surprise, she was nowhere to be found.

Helena left the courtyard house with Larry to find someone. During this time, Helena felt uneasy. Seeing that the man seemed approachable, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Peeple, about the man in the courtyard earlier... Is he a good person?"

Larry chuckled in response. "I suppose so."

"What do you mean? If he's a good person, then he's a good person, right?" Helena became instantly worried. "Grape is with him. If anything goes wrong, I can't bear the responsibility."

Larry shook his head helplessly. "He's just not feeling well. He wouldn't harm the child."

Feeling unwell? Helena realized that the man earlier exuded an aura of authority, yet there was a hint of vulnerability in his demeanor. It was a deep-seated melancholy that had been building up for years, unable to dissipate.

"So, he's your boss, right?"

"Indeed."

Helena was somewhat taken aback. She had heard from Mallory before that Larry controlled the capital, which was greater than the combined investments of all the teams. He was the leading figure in Wavery.

The reason why Stardust was able to establish itself in Wavery was due to his assistance.

Yet, she had just learned that Larry had a superior. "That man indeed exuded an immense aura of authority that deterred most people from approaching him."

Seeing Helena lost in thought, Larry patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. There's no place safer than the courtyard house we were just in. Let's quickly find the child's mother."

Helena nodded in agreement.

After attending the opening ceremony, Josie briefly met with the various competitors and finally found the opportunity to leave.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw the teenagers from the team rushing over in a hurry. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she stood firm, raising her voice. "What's the rush?"
