Once Donald heard the bad news, he rushed over as well.
He was very anxious after knowing Queeny was in danger. If he didn't come here, he would be more worried in the castle.
"Do we need to arrange more people to look for Queeny?" he asked in greater anxiety after knowing what happened.
Felix nodded. "Call Ford and ask him to bring a group of people over to salvage along lower reaches."
"Yes, sir."
From the time the accident happened to the police arrived, it only cost a dozen minutes. But the car and the driver were already found, while Queeny was nowhere to be seen. If she was knocked unconscious or was killed, her body would only float to the lower reaches.
After delivering the order, Donald walked back.
Felix looked at the car which was pulled out and stopped not far away, and the driver removed out of it by the police.
The man was completely dead. Lying on the ground, he had a black and blue face. In fact, his appearance was very common in the crowd.
"Find out who's behind this!" he said coldly.
Donald was frightened for a second, then obeyed his order at once.
After a long time, the police still couldn't find Queeny.
Actually, they came here quickly after the accident happened. Even if Queeny was dead, they should be able to find her body.
According to the speed of the river, she couldn't be pushed far away. But the strange thing was that no matter how they salvage, they found nothing as if she had totally disappeared.
The police recognized Felix. Seeing that he came in person, they knew the missing person must have a special relationship with him.
They were nervous. If Felix was mad, they might have a difficult life in the future.
Therefore, Director Forgy came to comfort him in a hurry, "Mr. Bissel, since she's your friend, we surely will spare no effort to find her. But the river runs fast. Witnesses told us she was already seriously injured before falling into it. I'm afraid she's not likely to survive. I'm sorry."
Felix kept an expressionless face, but he actually was displeased.
Anyway, he still didn't lose his temper. Instead, he only said calmly, "Thanks, Director Forgy, if so, I'll leave it to you. Please let me know once you find any clues."
Director Forgy was surprised. He didn't expect Felix to leave right now.
He thought the missing woman must have a special relationship with Felix. But Felix lost patience after they had searched for her for just an hour. It seemed he was wrong.
"Sure, of course. You'll be informed once we have any clues," said Director Forgy. He slightly lowered his head and stayed humble.
Felix then turned around and walked away.
He didn't go anywhere else, but went straight back to the castle.
It was a piece of big news, so it couldn't be kept a secret. Before he came back, all the servants in the castle and Bella had already heard of it.
Bella was full of pleasure. She was more than glad to know that Queeny, her strong competitor, was finally dead.
From now on, she would be the only woman left by Felix's side without any competitors. Given her beauty and charm, she didn't believe Felix could reject her.
So she thought it was just a matter of time when Felix would marry her.
