Take Me Away novel Chapter 117

It was nightfall and the stars sparkled bright in the sky.

People were asleep when the sun slowly rose and tinted the sky a pale red. A while later, several planes flew across the clear and sunny blue sky of M City towards P City.

Sitting alone in the front seat of the cabin, Spencer looked out the window as he rubbed his forehead. He felt empty in the absence of his beloved Fiona and days seemed like years. He was getting impatient, and yet had no idea of what he had to do to save her. And he'd completely forgotten about Celine in the process.

He'd known for a while that he had feelings for Fiona. But it wasn't until now that he realized he was madly in love with her. If something happened to her, he would punish himself and was ready to die for her. If he couldn't protect his own wife, how would he be any good at life?

"Charles..." Eric suddenly cried from the other end of the cabin with a newspaper in his hand. "Spencer, did you really ask me to look into this man's background? He is the country's top jewelry tycoon!"

Spencer turned to look at him when the headlines on the newspaper's front page caught his eye. "Show it to me!"

"What? All right..." Eric handed the newspaper to Spencer. "Why did you suddenly ask for a background check on him?"

"It's nothing serious." Spencer grabbed the newspaper and scanned through the article.

The headlines on the front page read, "Charles Wen, the jewelry tycoon and CEO of ZR Company has been researching on a program in T Country. It is reported that ZR Company is intending to take over Hu Group, the largest jewelry retailer in T Country. This project will have a big impact on the economies of these two countries."

Spencer wasn't interested in the business news. However, the mention of T Country was something that made him curious. 'Charles is also in T Country! Or is it all just some coincidence?'

His eyes shifted to the photograph of Charles next to the article. Spencer crossed his arms and frowned. In the photograph, Charles looked confident, but there was a strange look in his eyes that was enough to make someone's skin crawl.

Spencer placed the paper on the seat next to him, suddenly recalling something. He remembered Charles being there at the airport when they attempted to capture Black Widow from X. He had been in the surveillance room when he saw Charles on one of the CCTV screens. He wasn't quite sure back then but now he was certain.

Spencer inhaled sharply, coming up with a bold plan in his mind. Spencer said to Eric in a shaky voice, "Looks like we have to dig deeper and find out Charles' true identity!"

Seeing the smug look on Spencer's face, Eric nodded. "Okay."

Their plane flew across the clouds towards P City in the bright sky.

Two days later, at Cherry Grove Residence

Fiona had starved herself for the past two days. She didn't eat for fear of being drugged by the food. She lay in the bed, gasping like a dying person. Her lips had turned pale and she barely had any energy left in her for anesthesia.
