Crack!
The flame produced by the lighter lit the cigarette.
While guarding at the door, he could only smoke as a pastime.
Lone wolf looked at the ashtray besides him and it was full of cigarette butts. He had finished the whole box of cigarettes and the cigarette in his mouth was the last one.
Two hours had passed. Even if it was French cuisine, they should finish already.
He turned his head to look into the restaurant and the lighting was pale yellow making the middle area not be seen in such a dark environment.
Lone Wolf stretched himself with a yawn.
At that moment, the music played in the restaurant suddenly stopped.
The waiter that had led Jack just now walked to the door and prepared to lock the door with a chain.
Lone Wolf was stunned and asked, “Hey dude, my boss is still in the restaurant. Why are you locking the door?”
“Boss?”
The waiter laughed and said, “Oh, Mr Hughes had left the restaurant with the lady an hour ago.”
Boom!
Lone Wolf was shocked and said, “That’s impossible. I have been sitting at this door without leaving and I did not see them walking out from the restaurant.”
“I am sorry, sir. They left from the cargo lift in our restaurant.”
The waiter replied with a smile and locked the door of the restaurant.
Cargo lift?
There was another way out?!
Lone Wolf stood rooted to the ground because he was completely shocked. He was keeping thinking what could happen.
Could it be... something happened?!
His pupils were contracted and a strong chill rushed from his feet to his head.
He was confused that Jack always guarded against Ivy so why did he not inform him before leaving with Ivy alone.
But, this was not what he should consider now.
Lone Wolf called Jack via his phone hurriedly.
After a few seconds, his face changed because the phone could not reach Jack.
Indeed... something had happened!
With his experience and shrewdness, Lone Wolf came to a conclusion rapidly.
He immediately called Brent.
“Brent, something has happened. Mr Hughes had been brought away by Ivy!”
Lone Wolf said “brought away” but not “followed” because he knew that according to Jack’s alertness towards Ivy, it was impossible for Jack to leave with Ivy without informing him.
“Why would that happen?”
On the phone, Brent scolded, “Damn! What are you doing?”
“I...” Lone Wolf was blushed.
Before waiting for him to explain, Brent said fiercely, “I will immediately report to Mr. Ward and it is a must to get the young master back even if we search the whole city.”
TM Villa District.
After hanging up the phone, Brent looked for Mr. Ward hurriedly.
He narrated what had happened to Mr Ward.
Mr. Ward immediately frowned and said with a deep voice, “Immediately search! It is not good news to know that the young master left with Ivy. Both of them are heirs and they are competitors to each other. Why did young master be so careless at this time?”
At that moment, both of them did not investigate why Jack and Ivy were together.
It was because both of them knew that they were heirs and they had sharp competition.
Now Jack had disappeared under Lone Wolf’s protection, something must have happened!
“Do not reveal this matter to Amber.” Mr. Ward stood up and said, “Follow me to look for Minister Mable.”
The whole city seemed to be surging at night after MR. Ward sent orders one after another.
But what made Mr. Ward and Brent desperate was all the messages showed that Jack was untrackable.
Jack and Ivy seemed to disappear.
Even under the control of Minister Mable, all the camera monitors in the city could not get any helpful information!
After investigating the surrounding of the restaurant, Lone Wolf discovered that all the camera monitors had been destroyed or shifted.
The outcome almost made Mr. Ward and Brent crazy.
Obviously, it was premeditated.
