Chapter 3084 Helpless
Does Delilah know something?
“Don’t worry. Justice is on our side. You didn’t hurt anyone, so nothing will happen to you. Just stay calm. Larry will definitely get us out of here,” Delilah told Joan.
Sadly, Larry was already overseas.
“Give it up already. Larry’s not even in the country. How is he going to save you now?” the young woman next to them taunted.
Larry’s out of the country? When did that happen? Joan’s gaze clouded over with hesitation. She didn’t know what to do. Without Larry, what other solution do I have? Who’s going to come to save me? Oh no, Lucius is going to be so worried when he gets home and Delilah’s not there!
“Sir! Sir, can you please hear me out? Please let her leave. She didn’t do anything. Keep me here for as long as you need, but please let her go,” Joan said hurriedly as she pointed at Delilah.
The policemen didn’t believe her one bit.
“Don’t listen to her, sirs. They’re a team,” another woman piped up snidely.
Larry was in front of the window with his phone in his hand, waiting anxiously for Joan to pick up. Where did she go off to again? Why isn’t she picking up?
He clutched his phone tightly as his gaze steeled. She’s not in trouble, is she?
Larry hung up and immediately called Caspian.
“Joan? She hasn’t been in the office the whole day,” Caspian answered evenly.
He was definitely telling the truth, which meant that Joan really was somewhere else.
“Go look for her. Don’t let anything happen to her, okay? I’ve been calling her since before my flight took off, but she hasn’t picked up and I’ve already landed,” Larry said urgently.
“Okay, will do. Don’t stress out. I’ll go find her right now and make sure she’s alright,” Caspian said as he rushed out with his jacket.
“Grandma! I’m home!” Lucius called out the minute he ran into the living room, but the house remained so silent one could hear a pin drop.
What’s going on? Lucius looked around, feeling uneasy. He continued calling out for Delilah but no one responded.
Could she be in the garden? No, that’s not right. She should be back by now. With that, Lucius tossed his backpack down and ran out the door.
Suddenly, Caspian rushed in looking completely out of breath.
“Lucius, where’s your grandma?” he asked anxiously as he looked around.
“She’s gone! I haven’t seen her since I got back. She’s not in the garden either,” Lucius replied shakily.
It seemed like Delilah and Joan had gone missing together. Caspian thumped himself on the head.
Sh*t, how am I going to tell Larry about this?
His phone rang. It was Jessica on the other end.
“Calm down first. I heard that someone invited Joan and Delilah out for a meal,” Jessica said mildly.
Invite Joan for a meal? Caspian scratched the back of his head, extremely suspicious.
Joan was an extremely kind person, and she had plenty of friends. It was hard to narrow down exactly who suddenly wanted to treat her to a meal.
Wait, if they treated her to a meal, it’s definitely someone who knows her. But if she still isn’t back and isn’t even picking up her phone, then something must have happened. That means whoever treated her to the meal must not have good intentions!
Caspian knew he had to ask for outside help at this point.
He hung up and walked toward the supermarket.
Back when Joan lived here, she worked at the supermarket, so she met plenty of people who both liked and disliked her. If anyone knew about her, it would be those people.
