Chapter 535 The Lost Watch
Manuel had the urge to rush up, but he felt that Ainsley's dance was unspeakably strange.
The banquet finally came to an end. Daniel took off his coat and draped it over Ainsley. He said softly, ’The car will be here in a second."
Ainsley nodded coldly and wrapped the coat around her.
Manuel stood in situ and looked at Ainsley. The way her emaciated body was draped in that man's coat was a sight to behold.
He rushed over abruptly, grabbed Ainsley’s wrist, and ran.
All of this happened so suddenly that before Cason, who had been standing beside Manuel, could react, Manuel had already pulled Ainsley and ran far away.
Daniel angrily scolded, ’ Manuel, stop the fuck right there!”
Daniel desperately chased after them, followed by a few reporters.
Ignoring everything, Manuel held Ainsley's hand and ran in the direction of the parking lot.
Ainsley finally came back to her senses after they ran for a long distance. She shook off Manuel's hand at once. "What the heck do you want?”
He hastily wanted to grab her hand again. "I will take you away. Ainsley, I'm sure you need me to take you away."
Ainsley forcefully shook off Manuel's hand and said angrily, "Not at all! What the fuck do you want?"
Manuel was stunned. He did not expect Ainsley to react like this. "Matteo is very worried about you. He has been looking for you all day."
She shrugged indifferently. "Then feel free to tell him where I am now. Also, you might as well tell him what you saw. I was not threatened. I did everything of my own accord.'
Meanwhile, his phone rang. It was that unique beeping sound.
Manuel was shocked. His phone would only beep like this when it was a notification from Ainsley's watch. He had set it since the day Ainsley disappeared.
Didn't Ainsley say that the watch had been thrown away at the banquet?
He immediately turned on his phone, activated the GPS, and saw a location that surprised him. The watch was in the west district of Seattle.
Why was the watch located there?
He almost subconsciously sent the location to Matteo, and then forcefully took Ainsley to continue walking until they walked to the front of the car. Then he let her in and drove the car away.
When he drove the car out, he saw Daniel's angry face.
Matteo was in Seattle. When he was at a loss, he received the location sent by Manuel. Also, Manuel texted him: "Ais/s watch location has changed. This is where it is located now."
Without any hesitation, Matteo immediately ran to the watch's location, with dozens of bodyguards behind him.
The location was in an abandoned building in the west district of Seattle. Half an hour had passed by the time they arrived.
When Matteo set foot on the first floor, he noticed that no one had lived in the building for a long time and that the facilities had retained the atmosphere of the 1990s. The bodyguards immediately searched the ground floor and found nothing.
He had brought dozens of bodyguards with him, yet it was still not enough since the building was up to three floors with dozens of rooms.
The watch's location was accurate to feet, so he looked at the phone screen while slowly approaching the location. The wooden staircase creaked like an old man's body falling apart as he stepped up the stairs to the second floor.
Turning left into the second room, he looked inside the room and was stunned on the spot.
There was nothing but a watch on the ground. Almost subconsciously, he knew that it was the watch that Manuel had given to Ainsley with the GPS function. In other words, Ainsley was here before, and just half an hour ago, she pressed the button to send out the watch's position.
