Ice and Fire novel Chapter 534

When Sally got over the shock, she ran to the hall to look for her phone. She struggled to dial Mond's number as her hands trembled.

Mond answered on the third ring.

"Mond, Mond, Jackson is gone. He was taken away," Sally cried incoherently, terrified inwardly.

"What are you talking about?" Mond asked. 'What happened? Who had taken him away?" Mond's mind raced a mile a minute with all the questions in his head.

"Jackson came to me, and I drugged him," Sally recounted to Mond the events from last night. She paused as her hands continued to shake uncontrollably. She continued after she took a few deep breaths,"Then this woman broke into the room with those two tall men and they took Jackson away."

"Sally, how could you..." Mond stammered through gritted teeth. Mond now knew what Sally's intention was and he should tell her off. But he was mostly worried about Jackson's safety now.

"Where did they take him?" Mond interrogated Sally.

"I have no idea," Sally stammered.

"She gave a card to one of the men. I think it's from a hotel," Sally remembered.

Sally wasn't sure if the card was from a hotel room. But it looked like it.

"Okay, got it," Mond replied before he hung up.

Sally grasped her phone even after Mond hung up. Her knees buckled down and she collapsed on the floor.

Hellen Wu fitted her wireless headset on her ear while she drove and called on the phone.

"Did everything go as planned?" A familiar feminine voice answered on the other line.

"Yes, don't worry, Auntie. It's done. Jackson is at the hotel and the footage in the hotel has been erased. Even if Jackson tried to investigate, he won't find anything," Hellen assured the person on the other line.

"Did she recognize you?" the woman demanded from Hellen.

"No. I distracted her. I mentioned her father's name and she couldn't stop thinking about him. She didn't have time to figure out who I was," Hellen deduced. She loathed Sally. What a disgusting attempt to get a man. Hellen hated dirty women like Sally.

"Go home. Rest. And don't go out. We can't risk having anyone else recognize you," the woman commanded.

"Of course, Auntie," Hellen agreed. "By the way, Auntie, that woman was going to sleep with..." Hellen continued.

The woman interrupted Hellen.

"Enough. We don't need to gossip," the woman retorted with anger in her voice.

"I'm on the way home," Hellen answered.

Mond ordered his men to look for Jackson. He had already checked all the hotels in the city for him.

But he couldn't find Jackson. So he called Derek for help.

"Mond?" Derek answered his phone after he recovered from the shock that Mond was calling him.

"Jackson's gone. I need you to ask your connections to find him," Mond ordered. He didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with Derek.

"What happened?" Derek demanded.

"It was Sally. But we can't waste time. Jackson is in danger. Find him. Hurry!" Mond ordered.

"I'm going to find him," Derek declared before he hung up the phone.

Derek called all his contacts and, 30 minutes later, he found Jackson in a hotel downtown.

He arrived at the hotel and convinced the front desk clerk to take him to the room. The moment he opened the door, Derek rushed inside.

He discovered an unconscious Jackson on the bed. He rushed to Jackson and checked for injuries. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found none.

'What the hell happened!?' Derek questioned in his mind. "Who brought him here?" Derek turned to the front desk clerk furiously.

"There was this tall man who brought him here. And he gave me the card key to the room. He said that the man in the room was named Mr. Jackson and he was not to be disturbed. That's all I know," the clerk answered respectfully. He had no idea what was going on.

"What does he look like?" Derek asked while he wondered in his mind who was behind all this. What did they want with Jackson?

The clerk shook his head. "I don't remember his face. He left immediately after he gave the card," the clerk said.

Derek looked down at the clerk. "Tell your manager I want to see the video footage."

"Yes, sir." The clerk scrambled out of the room to look for the manager.

Derek sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette with a troubled expression.
