It has been a day and a night already.
Jack Hughes has made numerous attempts to call Amber Knight.
But her phone was switched off.
Just because of a misunderstanding, the most affectionate companionship tore and cut Amber Knight into a thousand pieces.
Jack’s guilt hit him hard as if he had fallen into a dark abyss of despair.
At dawn.
Jack, who hasn’t slept all night, finally put his phone down weakly.
His phone was still on the call interface. But, the automatic system response only reminded him that her phone’s still shut down.
After vigorously rubbing his face, Jack silently got up and entered the bathroom to wash up.
In the dining room.
The aroma faintly drifted across the dining room.
But Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy Hill have no appetite.
The problem between Jack and Amber tugged their hearts along and made them worry.
“Mr. Hughes is here,” Daisy said all of a sudden.
Mr. Ward and Brent quickly stood up to welcome him.
“Let’s have breakfast.”
Jack calmly said.
Mr. Ward and Brent stared at each other.
Wasn’t this overly calm?
Jack didn’t look as gloomy as they expected. Thus, the words of comfort they prepared had no use as well.
But his calmness left both of their hearts hanging in their throats.
After sitting down.
Brent said, “Young master, Carlos Juan Yales and Rena Yales have already left.”
He had said it before in their encounter in Seawater Mountain. If anything happened to Jack and Amber, he would go and find them.
Last night, he found out their residence through investigation and rushed over through the night.
However, when they arrived, they’d already left.
“Oh.” Jack drank his porridge.
Oh?!
Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy were all shocked.
Jack’s composed response was simply unusual in their eyes.
It was so unusual that all three of them were astonished.
“Young master…”
Mr. Ward slowly opened his mouth, but Jack interrupted him by raising his hand.
Jack wiped the corners of his mouth and calmly spoke, “Mr. Ward, make an arrangement. Today, we are going to the North Jeweline Group.”
What?!
All three of them were shocked.
Daisy stuttered, “Don’t we need to find Ms. Amber?”
“Priorities first.”
Jack shook his head, “Amber left with her parents, so there won’t be any danger, but my dad still can’t be guaranteed that he is safe at all times.”
Over the night, he had tried contacting Amber.
He was also thinking about what he should do next.
Amber left with her parents-in-law, thus, her safety was assured. Besides, Amber and her parents-in-law were still angry. Even if he chased after them to the other side of the ocean, they still won’t see them.
On the contrary, his father was of immediate priority.
It was still a guess that his father was in the North Jeweline Group, but he needed to verify it as soon as possible.
More importantly, he needed to make sure that his father was currently safe.
Even though his father told him before that he was safe, but the fact that the head of the Hughes family had been hiding his whereabouts, he might be apprehensive of something.
And whatever his father was anxious about may instantly pull him from safety and put him on the border between life and death.
“I’ll go and arrange it for you.” Mr. Ward nodded.
Jack calmly said, “Brent, accompany me on this trip along with Mr. Ward.”
Brent nodded and went upstairs to pack up.
Brent asked softly. He wasn’t as thoughtful as Jack and Mr. Ward.
However, to achieve the status as the head of soldiers, relying solely on the physique and fighting skills was not enough. Intelligence was the most important of all.
“We’ll see.” Mr. Ward casually smirked.
Although there was no direct confirmation, the bright eyes and beating chest due to excitement seemed to have explained it all.
It was around four o’clock in the afternoon when the plane landed at the airport.
Because the city where the Jeweline Group was located was so small that there wasn’t even an airport, they decided to land in a major city nearby.
After spending half an hour, they were able to rent a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon and headed towards the city where the Jeweline Group was located.
The road was filled with yellow sand all the way. There were only endless deserts next to the highway.
They saw a few speeding SUVs. But, compared to the wide road, the road appeared extremely cold and deserted.
Fortunately, the sun set very late in the North.
Although it was already nine o’clock at night when they arrived at the town, the setting sun still hung high up in the sky.
“Let’s find a place to settle in first.”
Jack was not in a hurry. Now that he’s here, it’s so much easier to go to the Jeweline Group.
Taking this opportunity, he could learn what the Jeweline Group was like from the general population!
The Jeweline Group was a corporation that existed in a remote town with a population of less than a million. However, it was able to get a piece of the pie when the big companies fought in the stock market.
Then, the Jeweline Group might not be that simple locally!
Finally, the setting sun sank slowly.
Jack returned to the car after finding a hotel to keep their luggage.
Brent, who was driving the car, asked, “Young master, where are we going?”
Jack Hughes hesitated a little and said, “There should be a bar in this town, right?”
“A bar?” Mr. Ward was startled.
Immediately, upon realization, a smile emerged on his old face.
Brent, who was driving the car, also enthusiastically started the car.
Jack smiled and looked out of the car, “There’s no better place to gather information in than a bar.”
