Chapter 2882

"What am I guilty of? Don't test me! If you don't release me, I will make you regret everything you've done to me." Damien threatened through gritted teeth.

"Alright, I'd like to see you try," Patricia said and sauntered out of the house, calm as she had been when she got in.

The person in charge of watching Damien followed suit, and in a low voice, he asked, "Captain? He is still refusing to spill, ft

"It doesn't matter. I don't need him to say anything now." Patricia snorted, her voice tinged with cold indifference.

"Captain, is there a new plan?" the man in black asked in a hushed voice.

"Tonight, you're going to release him. Let him go..."

After devising her new plan of action and giving the man a complete rundown of it, Patricia darted the house one last glance, her eyes dark and cold. Then, she whirled around, got into her car, and sped off.

The two men in black exchanged a mutual glance, both showing great determination and resolve. Although the plan Patricia had crafted was a somewhat risky one, it would indeed be effective if they could pull it off.

The next day, the sun was bright and warm as it emerged from the horizon, giving the clouds its distinct golden gleam against the blue backdrop of the morning sky. But beautiful as the day seemed, Nicole's day would not begin on a similar note.

As soon as she arrived at the headquarters, Lulu ran up to Nicole, her breath heavy and her face pale. "Patricia is missing."

"What?" Nicole frowned. 'How could this happen?'

"Damien escaped last night, and Patricia went MIA." Lulu trembled, anxious and tensed up.

She did not know the full story as this was all the information she had.

"And there's no way to contact her?" Nicole's eyes darkened as a figure of a person flitted in her mind.

Then, she narrowed her eyes and gave Charlie a call.

"Yes, Mrs. Johnston. Although it was all a part of our plan, we're currently unable to contact her. I don't know what happened." Charlie replied, sounding just as worried as the rest of them were.

"I see." Nicole hung up and sighed.

"So?" Lulu nervously asked.

Shaking her head with a grim look on her face, Nicole responded, "He doesn't know either."

"Nicole! What happened to Patricia?" Ellar rushed over as he asked in a panic.

He had shown up as he was unable to contact Patricia this morning. He was worried, because there was no circumstance in which she was unreachable, even though she had returned to Riddle Corporation. To make things worse, her apartment was empty.

After glancing over at Ellar, Nicole sighed and said, "Come in and we'll talk about it."

Together, the trio of Nicole, Ellar, and Lulu entered Nicole's office.

"Patricia went on a mission, but for some reason, we can't contact her now," Nicole explained to Ellar.

"Does that mean she's in danger?" Ellar asked. 'Even if she's on a mission, she should not be unreachable.'

"We're not sure for now." Nicole shook her head, not knowing the answer to the question herself.

At this moment, she was worried too.

Blanching, Ellar's eyes widened, and he yelled, "That means she must be in danger now!

Then, he looked around anxiously, before turning around in an attempt to leave. "No. No, it can't be! I must find her."

"Wait a minute." Nicole frowned, stopping Ellar in his tracks." Where do you think you're going? How are you even going to find her?"

Ellar choked, and all he could mumble were the words, "I don't know where, but I have to find her."

"How are you going to find her if you don't even know where you're going? Are you going to wander around aimlessly in hopes that you'll be able to get to her eventually?" Nicole reprimanded. Then, she advised, "Listen. I need you to calm down, Ellar."

"It's not that I don't want to calm down. I simply can't!" He plopped himself on a chair and buried his face in his hands, looking as if he was about to burst into tears.

"We're worried about her too. But we can't act recklessly at this time," Nicole said in complete seriousness.

Nodding, Lulu stepped in and added. "Yeah, you need to calm down, Ellar. Let's think of a plan."

Lifting his head, Ellar could only grit his teeth and agree," Okay."

He knew full well that he could not afford to lose his bearings at a time like this. However, he just could not shake the grip of anxiety over him, which was tightening as they spoke.
