Chapter 517 Tragic Fate

Furrowing his brows, Michael’s expression darkened. “I know. But there’s nothing I can do about that. After all, I can’t really bring myself to reject Alicia’s request after seeing that she’s worried sick of Janette,” I lamented resignedly.

Naturally, I was well aware of how tough it was to track down anyone without any clue. Nonetheless, I had no choice but to keep on trying my best as there was no other way.

“Let’s call it a night. I’ll seek help from the police tomorrow. I bet it’s a piece of cake for them to trace her whereabouts with their advanced tracking system,” he reassured me.

I could only give in to him and nodded. “All right. It looks like that’s the only way.”

Deep down, I knew it was pointless for us to waste time trying to trace Janette’s whereabouts aimlessly that night.

Back at the Shaw residence, I drifted off not long after flinging myself on my bed. What had transpired earlier had worn me down. It was indeed a lot more tiring than a working day.

Preoccupied with Janette’s disappearance, I woke up early the following morning. Feeling uneasy, I could not sleep well the previous night.

Surprisingly, Michael woke up even earlier than I. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he wrapped his arms around me and uttered gently, “It’s still early. You can still sleep for a while more. I’ve called the police station to lodge a report, and they’ve taken prompt action. I believe they’ll be able to find a clue soon.”

The sheer gentleness in his tone was able to put me at ease almost immediately. Initially, I was worried that Janette might be in danger as she was completely unfamiliar with the city.

“I’m thankful that you’re alongside me. Regardless of any hardships that I encounter, you’re always helping me to get the matter resolved,” I mumbled, wrapping my arms around Michael’s waist with my eyes closed in relief. As long as Michael was with me, there was nothing unsolvable. Unequivocally, having him by my side was the most blissful thing in my life.

“Oh? You’ve just realized it now?” Michael teased me. Gazing at me with a glint of affection in his eyes, his lips contorted into a charming smile.

Numb to his narcissism, I chuckled without uttering any words. Snuggling against his chest, I felt like having some sleep again.

After quite a while, Michael’s ringtone suddenly rang out, waking me up in an instant. At the same time, he answered the call.

Within seconds, his face fell. Perplexed, I wondered what the caller had informed him. Nevertheless, he managed to regain his composure seconds later and hung up without uttering any words.

I lifted my head to look intently into his eyes, piping up as anxiousness surged within me, “Who’s that? Is there any news about Janette?”

“Yes. The police officer informed me that they’ve managed to locate her phone, and they’ve sent me the location,” Michael replied placidly. However, I could sense an unmissable change in his countenance instantaneously. My gut instinct told me that there was something awry. Even so, I did not dwell on it. The most important thing right now is to track Janette down as soon as possible.

“Then what’re we waiting for? Come on. Let’s go and look for Janette now! Alicia’s worried stiff about her!” I said, eager to get into action.

Without a second thought, I got down from the bed and dashed out of the room. I was convinced that only by finding Janette would my mother be relieved.

Michael only threw me a glance and trailed behind me silently.
