Chapter 561 You're also a Victim
After Charles left, Manuel phoned Serina several times, but there was no answer.
Serina was neither at home nor at school. Even Miles didn't know for sure where she was.
It was not until he watched the video again that he found the figure of Mahdi.
Manuel immediately made a phone call, and this time, the phone was quickly answered.
The person answering the phone seemed surprised, "Mr. Gage, why are you phoning me?"
"Cut the crap. Where's Serina?’ Manuel asked indifferently.
"Mr. Gage, I don't know," Mahdi laughed.
Manuel asked in an ironic manner, "You went to the Wade Group?'
Mahdi replied eagerly, "Mr. Gage, I have to go there if Miss requires me to!'
"Tell me everything clearly," Manuel said.
Mahdi was stunned and then quickly told Manuel what had happened. "Mr. Gage, I really don't know where Miss Serina is. After coming out of the Wade Group, she said nothing but just wanted to go to the most secured place. I was going to drive her there, but she refused."
Manuel hung up the phone and looked out of the window, "The most secured place?"
Perhaps he knew where that place was.
Half an hour later, Manuel stopped the car and looked at the familiar apartment.
This was the apartment that Ainsley had rented and where Serina lived in the very beginning. He had been here many times, which was the happiest time in his life.
He walked into the building, entered the password, and walked into the apartment.
As expected, the light in the living room was on. Serina was curled up on the sofa, with her face pale and lips dry and cracked. Her bloodshot eyes implied her tiredness.
"Serina, why are you here alone?" Manuel sat next to her and stroked her head.
"Manuel, can I ask you a question?" Serina said with her trembling voice and looked at him in a daze.
Manuel was flustered but he managed to calm himself down, "What's the problem?"
"At first, you got close to Ainsley to help Irene, didn't you? I was actually kidnapped? Is my psychological shadow caused by that kidnapping?"
She asked a lot of questions with bloodshot eyes, but it was obvious that she was not merely curious about these matters.
Hearing her question, Manuel lowered his eyes. Silence was the best answer.
Serina sneered, "I see. Those are all true, aren't they?"
She suddenly understood why Ainsley had been so distant to her when she just woke up, as if she didn't want to see her.
"I'm sorry for Ainsley, but it has nothing to do with you. You're also a victim," Manuel said in a low voice.
"But why didn't you tell me? After Ainsley recovered her memory, I kept asking her these strange questions. She must be very upset and she even had to comfort me." Serina sneered.
Manuel held Serina in his arms. He understood how she felt.
Ever since he found Ainsley, he bore such feeling almost every moment.
It was hypocritical.
In the Seaside villa, Ainsley was reading the financial news worriedly.
