Chapter 140 Missing?
Viola furrowed her brows and said, “Anaya was in prison. How can she disappear?”
Toby shook his head and said, “It‘s said that Anaya disappeared during the half hour of activity after dinner yesterday. It was as if Anaya had vanished into thin air, leaving no traces behind.”
“No traces?”
Viola chuckled. “How can a person disappear into thin air? How can we not find out anything? We have to investigate thoroughly! Have a look and see who went to visit Anaya recently and how long they were there. Check everything carefully! Don‘t Ms. Zumthor a single detail!”
“Yes.”
Viola said, “Wait a minute.”
Toby was just about to leave when Viola called out to him with a solemn expression, Viola said, “Check all the records of Lawson‘s recent visits.”
“Are you suspecting..”
Before Toby finished speaking, Viola‘s gaze became colder and colder. Hopefully, Viola was overthinking things.
That afternoon, the rain poured down.
The closer it got to sunset, the heavier the rain became. It did not stop.
The heavy rain fell on the window glass. It seemed to be splitting the originally complete glass into cracks.
The weather was terribly gloomy as if it was silently telling something.
Viola stood in front of the French window to admire the rain. Her expression was indifferent, and it was unknown what Viola was thinking.
Toby spent the entire morning and afternoon investigating. Toby only returned to report to Viola when it was almost evening
“Ms. Zumthor, I looked into all the records and found that there was only one person who went to see Anaya and Lawson in the past half a month.”
“Who?” Viola looked grim.
“It‘s … Todd.” Toby respectfully handed the information to Viola and continued, “Not long ago, Lawson also disappeared from prison for an hour. In the end, Lawson said that Lawson entered the frozen warehouse by accident and was locked inside when the staff left, but…”
“But what?”
“When Lawson was discovered, Lawson was covered in blood and was riddled with scars. I heard that he was beaten by something like a whip… and Lawson and Todd seemed to be working for Mr. Caffrey.”
“Why are you only reporting this now?” Viola frowned.
“Because at that time, I thought that Lawson was accidentally locked in a freezer. I thought it was because Lawson had a grudge against some gangsters in prison. After all, Lawson was not lost, so everyone thought that there was no big problem.”
There wouldn‘t be any whip in prison since it could be used to strangle people. Lawson had been taken out and sent back!
It was obvious.
Viola suddenly reinembered Orlando‘s abnormality when she returned to the Bay Villa yesterday afternoon…
Orlando seemed to be deliberately making her stay. Was Orlando afraid that I would find out that Anava had
disappeared?
Viola checked the list and found that at that time, Anaya had just disappeared into thin air.
Was it a coincidence?
When Viola returned to the Bay Villa, Orlando was full of joy again…
Is he celebrating Anava‘s successful escape from prison?
Viola sneered
Viola thought that Orlando truly regretted what he had done. Unfortunately, it was all to distract Viola to save Anaya.
Was Orlando just lying to Viola when he said that those who had been wrong should be punished? And was Anaya so important to Orlando that he would spare Anaya?
That would be unreasonable!
The more Viola thought about it, the angrier she got. Viola threw a stack of documents at the corner of the table to the ground.
With a crash, the entire room was in a mess.
“Ms. Zumthor…”
It was the first time that Toby had seen Viola so furious that Toby took two steps back in fear.
Viola narrowed her cold eyes and said “Back to the villa!”
To prevent Viola from driving in anger, Toby took the initiative to be her driver.
The heavy rain fell on the window, making a loud noise, and making people feel annoyed.
Viola‘s anger was not extinguished by the rain, instead, Viola became angrier.
When they arrived at the villa, Toby was about to take the umbrella and open the car door for Viola. But Viola got out of the car herself and walked straight into the garden in the rain.
Toby was frightened and quickly chased after her. Toby said, “Ms. Zumthor! Get an umbrella. Don‘t catch a cold!”
In the villa, Orlando was cooking in the kitchen, and Orlando was caught off guard when Orlando heard Toby roar.
Looking at the time, Orlando found that Viola had arrived home twenty minutes earlier than usual. Orlando was very happy and washed his hands to welcome her.
