Listening to the woman’s impatient yet sweet voice on the phone, Omari, his face covered in blood, smiled.
Hearing her voice before his imminent death was a great surprise for him. He just felt regretful that he hadn’t seen Cheyenne wearing her wedding dress yet, that he hadn’t delivered the puzzle he bought for Oliver, that he hadn’t fulfilled his promise to take Cierra to the amusement park last time.
The god was so cruel. Couldn’t he wait until he had fulfilled all his wishes before taking his life?
Lost in his thoughts, a single tear silently fell.
It landed on the phone screen. Unbiased, the tear fell right onto Cheyenne’s avatar.
He stared at it for a long, long time, silently uttering the word, “Cheyenne.”
On the other end of the phone, Cheyenne kept talking, but there was no response from him. Her suspicion deepened.
He used to be so talkative when they talked on the phone, but now he suddenly fell silent. Something was wrong! She turned around and gave Kelvin a glance.
Being an understanding couple, with just one look from her, Kelvin understood what she had in mind and quickly picked up the laptop bag from the coffee table.
It was the laptop he took to the company during the day, with few occasions to use it, only for meetings or checking stocks.
While Cheyenne was on the phone, Kelvin swiftly opened the computer, connected to the internet, and accessed the tracking address website to locate Omari.
The deep blue computer interface outlined the seven continents and four oceans with white lines, while red dots kept jumping.
Kelvin mouthed a word to Cheyenne. Upon receiving the message, she began her act, “Omari, you finally returned to the country. Did you bring me a gift? Did you buy the True Love perfume I asked you to? How much did it cost? Remember, I said I won’t give you a refund if it’s less than what we agreed.”
“And Cierra, your goddaughter, says she misses you. Don’t you want to talk to her?” … She rattled off a series of words, and the other person seemed a bit annoyed.
Suddenly, a husky and rough voice sounded. “Cheyenne, I haven’t forgotten… I bought the perfume for a total of $1696. Let Cierra know that I’ll take her to see her favorite elephant when I return.”
“Cheyenne, I…” Before he could finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
“Beep beep beep…” Cheyenne looked at the call log in a panic.
What was it that he wanted to say to her in the last second?
On the other side of the couch, Kelvin’s hands swiftly danced on the keyboard, and finally, he found the last location of the communication. “Cheyenne, come quickly. He should be here!”
Hearing this, Cheyenne didn’t have time to think about what the unfinished sentence from Omari meant. She hurriedly walked over to Kelvin.
Her almond eyes were fixed on the cursor, and through gritted teeth, she said, “It’s North Nastary!” Kelvin patted her shoulder reassuringly. “Yes, according to the information Omari provided, Yheehull is located at 16 degrees 48 minutes north latitude and 96 degrees 9 minutes east longitude. It’s near the mouth of the Ilowadai River, the largest port in Nastary, with the Yheehull River running through it.”
“It’s not easy for us to find Omari right now. Let’s have someone infiltrate first and gather some information.”
“Also, get in touch with the Lara family and ask Hayden about Omari’s recent activities. What cases had he been handling? Could it be the work of enemies?”
Omari had indeed been mysterious lately. Besides taking over the Logan Group’s cases, he had been abroad most of the time.
Not only that, he was supposed to return home today by plane, but he suddenly appeared in North Nastary.
But if he hadn’t confirmed his boarding today, he wouldn’t have sent a message asking her to pick him up. The only explanation is that Omari disappeared before boarding.
“You’re right. Moreover, we should also investigate what he has been doing in Fustroydor for the past six months. I’ll contact Benson right away and ask for his help.”
Kelvin didn’t really want to meet Benson again, but when it came to Omari’s safety, he had to persuade himself not to be petty.
The more people, the more strength.
Soon, Cheyenne contacted Benson. He happened to be in Fustroydor investigating Camilla’s whereabouts, so receiving Cheyenne’s call and offering assistance was a natural thing for him.
“Don’t worry, Cheyenne. Omari has handled several significant cases in Fustroydor. He’s quite well-known. Investigating his affairs won’t be difficult.”
“Wait for my good news. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.”
“Great, thanks a lot, Benson. Take care of yourself out there.”
While Cheyenne contacted Benson, Kelvin took the initiative to contact the Lara family.
Omari’s father, Leon, had already stepped down as the head of the family four years ago. The current head of the Lara family is Hayden.
And Omari, Leon’s beloved illegitimate son, chose to give up his inheritance rights and establish his own foothold.
To avoid conflicts with Hayden, he had been away from home most of the time, except for occasional visits to his father during Christmas.
When Hayden heard the news of Omari’s trouble, he didn’t think much of it. “He’s always running around outside and rarely comes home. He’s used to a carefree life. What could happen?”
Kelvin frowned, “This matter may be more serious than you think, Mr. Lara. Shouldn’t you consult old Mr. Lara?”
Hayden on the other end of the phone felt his position as the head of the family being questioned. He coldly laughed, “No need. Since he refused the Weaver family’s alliance and established his own path, he ceased to be a member of the Lara family.”
“Besides, Omari might just be traveling over there. You’re making a fuss over nothing.”
“Kelvin, my father has been worried and his health has been deteriorating over these years. Unless it’s an urgent matter, I advise you not to disturb him.”
With those words, Kelvin lost all hope in the Lara family. In fact, he even suspected that Hayden might be behind this incident.
After all, Omari holds 15% of the Lara Group’s shares, and even though he’s rarely home, he’s still the second-largest shareholder.
His words could influence Hayden’s position as the head of the family.
The husband and wife hung up the phone at the same time. Cheyenne walked over with a furrowed brow and asked softly, “So, any leads from the Lara family?”
Kelvin shook his head, “Leon is unaware, and Hayden… he’s indifferent. We’ll have to investigate this ourselves. Tomorrow, I’m going to Onistead. You stay at home.”
Going to Onistead was natural because Omari’s company headquarters were located there.
