"Ah!" The woman took a few steps back in fright. "I-1 really didn't see her!"

Ivan opened the door, and Anthony entered the room with a cold expression.

The house was so small, with only a kitchen and two rooms.

The room door was open, but no one else was inside.

Ivan asked the woman again, "Are you sure you haven't seen her before?"

"N-No..." The woman did not even dare to raise her head. Instead, with her head lowered, she peeked at the bodyguards inside and outside the house, afraid of saying anything.

Did that lady not say she was traveling?

The woman could not help but wonder if she had caused herself trouble.

Anthony glanced around the room before turning to leave.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

There was a bag inside the quilt on the bed, and Anthony noticed the corner of the bag from that angle.

Anthony held the bag and stared at it, breathing heavily.

It was Anne's bag, which meant she was there!

Seeing this, Ivan stepped forward and picked up the woman. "Didn't you say you never saw her? Whose stuff is this?"

y Ey

Anthony walked out of the room with an intimidating aura.

Ivan let go of the woman.

Anthony looked at the woman with his sharp obsidian eyes, saying, "She's my wife, and she ran away from home without telling me after our fight.”

Even though Anthony's voice was low and calm, the woman still felt chills in her heart. Then, she answered, "Um...s-she said she came to travel, so I took her in, and she gave me money... don't want the money anymore. You can take it.."

Ivan said, "We just need her. Where did she go?"

"She went to the mountain behind. She said she was going for a walk. She should be b-back soon...” Before the woman even finished speaking, Anthony had already left in a hurry. Some of his people followed him to the mountain behind the house to find Anne, and some blocked the roadside of the village, watching out for people entering and leaving.

They arrived at the mountain, even stopping at the place Anne was last standing, but she was not in sight.

Ivan was baffled. "Further ahead is a field, and above the field is a mountain. There are graves over there, so Mrs. Marwood is unlikely to go there. Of the two forks in the road, it's most likely that she'll choose this road."

Anthony stood by the river, almost in the same position as Anne had been before.

He felt that Anne was here, but he did not see her.

Could it only mean that she had stopped here before?

Ivan saw that Anthony stared at the river and remained motionless, and he could not tell what Anthony was thinking. Hence, he did not say anything so as not to disturb him.

Another bodyguard said, "Could it be that Mrs. Marwood noticed us when we entered the village, so she ran away from the field?"

Ivan replied, "That's possible.”

Anthony looked away from the river, turned around, and left.

"Keep looking!"

"Yes, Mr. Marwood!"

Mia called Bianca on the way back, "Ms. Faye, it's a success!"

"Anne's dead?"

"Yes!"

"You saw her die with your own eyes?" Bianca was worried.

"I pushed her into the river and watched her sink. Since no one rescued her, isn't she dead for sure?” "Anne can't swim, so she's definitely dead!" Bianca laughed.

"But..when I was about to leave, I saw Mr. Marwood's car enter the village, so they must've located her."

When Mia said that, she glanced behind the car as if afraid of being chased.

"Even if they find her, she's already a corpse!"

"I think so too. But Ms. Faye, the money you said you would give me..." Mia brought up the matter. If it were not for money, who would be willing to take such a big risk?!
