Chapter 5 Where Is She After All?

1235 Words
The atmosphere in the office was dull and dreary. Edward was enraged and couldn't supress his anger. He clenched and unclenched his fists. Suddenly he reached for the phone on the table and said, "Call Irene Jones here!" A few minutes later the telephone rang again. The secretary said, "Mr. Wilson, the marketing department said that Irene has not came to work for two days." Edward was stunned. He remembered her secretary Sherry had told him about Irene's disappearance. But if she really disappeared, were the video and the threat email be posted by ghosts? "It's probably another trick of her!" Being furious, he picked up the car key and strode out of the office. Irene, that woman, I am going to make her pay! The car sped all the way to her villa. He slammed the door and shouted, "Irene, open the door!" But there was no response. He took out his cell phone again and called Irene. In the past five years of their marriage, the woman would immediately pick up every call no matter what she was doing. But this time, it was different. Her phone was turned off. Edward frowned his eyebrows tightly, and there was an inexplicable anger and anxiety in his heart. Where on earth did that woman go? What kind of tricks did she want to play? He had no way of venting his anger. He kicked the door hard and turned to find the villa's guard. When he reached where the guard was, he asked coldly, "Where is Irene?" The guard was scared by him and answered in a trembling voice, "Miss Irene hasn't came back for two days......" Edward's heart tightened, and the thing that Sherry said about Irene's disappearance began to reverberate in his mind. He continued to ask aggressively, "Where did she go? Do you know where she is?" The guard shook his head vigorously and said, "I do not know. Two days ago the Miss Irene left the villa in a hurry, and I have not seen her return since...." At that moment, Edward's eyes became stern. His angry and fierce look frightened the guard. The guard was sweating all over and dared not say a word. He straightened his cold face and returned to the car, gritting his teeth. "Pretending to be disappeared? Okay, wait until he drags her out, and then I'll make her eat her own fruit!" Edward took out his personal mobile phone and dialed assistant Harry's number. "Find Irene for me. I want to know where she is immediately!" Soon an address was sent to Edward's mobile phone, which was the Jone's family house. That is where she was hiding! With a cold smile, Edward drove his car and went to the Jones house at a high speed. He slammed on the car door and broke inside directly. The Jones family was eating when they saw Mr. Wilson broke in. They were flattered. Steven Jones immediately greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Wilson, why are you here? Why did not you let us know before?" But Edward came straight to the point and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Irene?" At the side of Irene's mother, Sofia's face suddenly turned pale. She felt so guilty that she could not even hold her chopsticks. The girl is still in the basement, not knowing whether she was alive or not. She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but Tristan immediately looked at her with sharp eyes. Sofia was so scared of him that she shut her mouth again. "Irene has not returned." Steven did not know what had happened that day, and he looked confused. "Did you have a fight with her?" Edward's face was cold, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. He glanced at Steven and then at Tristan and Sofia behind him. Just the look in his eyes was enough to freeze both their hearts. "If I find out she's here, none of you will have a good result. I swear!" Edward bypassed Steven and walked towards Sofia. Sofia could no longer hold her breath. She seemed to cover it up but actually intended to expose more, "Irene didn't come back. She's not here!" ""You lie!" said Edward, narrowing his eyes. "What tricks are you playing? Where is this woman?" Tristan said innocently, "We don't know what tricks Irene was playing with you. But she really didn't went here!" Harry's message could not be wrong. Irene must be here. she was here. They were all skilled liars, including Irene, who was a natural actress. "Well, if you do not tell me where she is, I'll find her myself. After I find her, I'll get even with you one by one!" After suppressing his anger, Edward strode straight up the stairs. Sofia was trembling all over and wanted to get up to stop him, but Tristan tugged at her energetically and said, "He can not find her here! Only we know where the cellar door is! You better keep your mouth shut!" After warning her, he hurriedly followed behind Edward and began to say bad things about Irene in a variety of ways. In the dark basement. In the dead silence, Irene faintly heard a voice of Edward from outside. She suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief. This must be an illusion. Even if it was an illusion, Irene still tried her best to crawl to the door with all her strength. "Edward," she said with difficulty. Her prolonged thirst made her throat feel as if it were on fire, and she found it difficult to utter a sound. Irene crawled for a few minutes from the underground to the door of the basement. She was hoping the she could hear the voice again, but it was quiet outside. It was as if the voice she had just heard was just her illusion. Irene slowly lowered her eyes and laid prone on the door, as desperate as a dead ash. It was at this moment that she heard a clear voice coming from outside. "Her bags are all here, and how can she not be here?" Edward found her bag in Sofia's room upstairs. He grabbed the blue purse and said coldly, "What on earth do you want? Are your guys using this video to threaten me?" When he thought he could not find the woman, he failed to suppress the anger in his heart. He bursted out such a great fire that his mind was as if burnt! "We're innocent! What video? I don't know..." Tristan bantered. Edward's sharp eyes instantly swept over him and threw the bag in his hand at him. The bag made a loud noise, haphazardly striking the secret door of the cellar hidden in the pattern of the wall. Then there came a strange sound of something falling. Suddenly everyone froze, and Tristan's expression changed. He looked towards the door, startled. Sofia was so startled that her legs went limp and she fell to the floor. "She's hiding inside? isn't she?" Edward stared at the door as he walked over. Tristan quickly tried to stop him. "No, it's the dog we locked up inside! Not a human!" "Get out of my way!" Edward pushed him away. He was so desperate to ask about her situation, and he lost his patience. He kicked the door open directly.
