Chapter 1886 The Search Begins
When one’s limit was breached, they would even retort the words of a person they respected the most.
Larry stared at Caspian, his heart aching for the latter. It seems he still loves Nancy, even after they were separated.
Suddenly, the young man said, “The car headed Northwest. That place’s rather remote.”
At that moment, everyone turned to the screen.
After pondering for a while, Jory announced, “No. I’m sure that I didn’t offend anyone.”
Although he had always been decisive and ruthless, he grew gentle ever since he married Nancy.
The young man said, “However, there aren’t any security cameras there.”
Upon hearing his words, Joan’s eyes dimmed. Larry uttered, “The area in Northwest is remote and the houses are rather few, so it should be easier to look for her.”
Caspian couldn’t bear to wait any longer, so he suggested, “Right then. Let’s go, now!”
Ever the calm man he was, Larry came up with an analysis. “Wait, Caspian. We have to lie low since no one knows why he kidnapped Nancy. If money is all he wanted, he could’ve contacted Jory. However, he didn’t, so Nancy could’ve offended someone.”
If it’s not about money and Jory did not offend anyone… then the reason for this kidnapping could only be because of Nancy. They knew Nancy’s personality well. She was a domineering woman when it came to things she liked and the person she fancy.
In midst of the silence, Jory suggested, “Let’s split up. Mr. Norton, Caspian and I would bring one group of men each and go there from different directions.”
Joan stood in front of Jory and insisted, “There’s a direction left. So I’ll go.”
“I’ll do it.” Just when the others were hesitating to agree to Joan’s request, a familiar voice sounded in the room.
“Dustin!” Jory shouted in surprise.
“Hey, don’t worry. I’m here now.” Dustin walked toward Jory and patted the latter’s shoulder.
Then, he went to Joan, his gaze was gentle with a hint of longing mixed in as he stared at her. Opening his arms slowly, he waited for Joan’s hug.
The latter smiled and widened her arms to hug him. Larry’s eyes dimmed seeing them being so close to each other.
“Why are you back?” Larry asked rudely as he pulled Joan to him and hugged her waist tightly.
“Joan’s back, so why can’t I?” Dustin’s eyes were glued to Joan who was in Larry’s arms, all while replying to him.
Larry glared at Dustin and clenched his fists.
“I called him here,” Jory said.
The moment Jory knew Joan was alive, he informed Dustin about it.
Caspian reminded, “Alright, that’s enough. Let’s not get caught up in this matter. We have something more urgent to attend to.”
Now that there were four men, they set off in all four directions. Naturally, Joan followed Larry.
“Joan, it’s late. Why don’t I send you back home first?” Larry looked at her with concern.
However, Joan refused.
Nancy was important to her. It was the same as how Caspian was to Larry. As such, she could not bring herself to do nothing when her friend was in deep waters.
Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, Larry’s phone rang. He took out his phone from his pocket and answered. It was Jory. “Hello? Mr. Norton, we searched everywhere. Nancy’s not here.” The man sounded anxious as he voiced the bad news.
Soon after, Larry received calls from Caspian and Dustin. Turned out, their efforts were in vain as well. This could only mean that Nancy was in the direction that Larry and Joan were heading. Realizing this, Larry clenched his fists and furrowed his brows.
He wasn’t afraid of getting hurt, but he didn’t want Joan to be involved, as it might get dangerous for her.
After all, no man could accept seeing the love of his life getting hurt.
He didn’t wish for Joan to go with him. Nonetheless, he still asked for her opinion. With a serious look, he said, “Joan, listen to me. Since Jory, Caspian, and Dustin said that they didn’t find Nancy, this must mean that she’s where we’re heading. It’ll be dangerous. Are you sure you want to go with me?”
