Jane’s pupils contracted. It seemed that something had happened to Marco.
“He hasn’t come to the company these past two days. Have you seen him?” Jane asked in a low voice, but April still shook her head.
“He’s like he’s evaporated from the earth. We can’t even find him at his usual eating spots,” April said.
Hearing this, Jane realized that something was wrong.
Luckily, nothing had gone wrong at the company these past few days; otherwise, who knows how many problems would be waiting for them?
Jane opened her chat with Marco, which was last updated two days ago when Marco reported his work progress to her.
Frowning, she headed to Marco’s house with April in tow.
“Could something have happened to him?” April asked on the way there. Even she could sense that something wasn’t right and Jane didn’t know how to explain it all away.
“These past few days he hasn’t sent me any messages reporting on his work progress. I thought he was just too busy but now it turns out that there might be a problem.”
Jane gritted her teeth and prayed silently that nothing bad had happened to Marco.
He was their director after all; if anything went wrong with him, then the company would undoubtedly suffer some consequences as well.
Moreover, Jane could tell that April was gradually forgiving him step by step.
Soon, the car stopped at Marco’s doorstep.
The two of them hurriedly ran towards his house and arrived upstairs. Jane relentlessly knocked on the door.
But unfortunately, despite ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one came out to open the door.
April’s heart began to worry, and her eyes slightly reddened. “What should we do, Jane? Could something have really happened to him?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Jane comforted April while searching for a key at the door.
Soon, the two of them found a key under the carpet and Jane hurriedly opened the front door.
As soon as they entered, they were hit by a strong smell of alcohol.
They instinctively furrowed their brows. The house was filled with bottles of alcohol. They bypassed the bottles and searched every corner of the house, but Marco was nowhere to be found.
“It seems like he’s not at home either…”
Jane frowned. They couldn’t contact Marco anywhere.
Helpless, they had no choice but to return to the company.
Just as they arrived at the company, several employees hurriedly ran over.
“What happened?”
Jane’s intuition told her that something had gone wrong with the company.
“Jane, Mr. Gibson is in trouble!”
“Where is he?”
April and Jane almost asked at the same time. The employee hesitated for a moment, then handed his phone with Twitter open to Jane.
The hot trending topic on Twitter read, “Star Entertainment’s Director Marco Suspected of Drug Use.”
“How is that possible?”
April growled lowly, biting her lip. “We saw him just a few days ago. He was so lively and energetic. How could he suddenly be accused of drug use?”
Several employees also expressed disbelief, but Jane remained silent.
“Let’s not panic for now.”
She comforted the employees. No one wanted Marco to face trouble like this.
Soon, she returned to her office, opened Twitter, and began to carefully investigate the matter.
“Recently, the police arrested a group of drug traffickers and found Star Entertainment’s Director Marco’s name on the client list. Currently, the police are conducting an investigation.”
As Jane read this news, her heart trembled.
April also found the tweet. With Marco in trouble, she lost all motivation to work and hurriedly ran in with her phone.
“Jane, have you seen what they’re saying online? Marco can’t possibly be like that…”
April questioned as she came in, and Jane shook her head.
“There isn’t concrete evidence yet. Just a few days ago, Marco seemed so lively and energetic. It really doesn’t seem like he would use drugs.”
“What do you mean ‘seem’? He couldn’t possibly use drugs in the first place!”
April, who was originally shy and introverted, became assertive at this moment, firmly believing that Marco must have been falsely accused.
“Don’t get too worked up. This matter hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
After saying that, Jane picked up her phone and called Marco several times.
But the result was the same. After ringing for a long time, no one answered on the other end.
Jane sighed inwardly, shaking her head, forcing herself to stay calm.
Since they couldn’t reach Marco, she couldn’t afford to lose control. Otherwise, the company’s situation would become even more dangerous.
“In that case, I’ll have someone stationed at Marco’s house for the next few days. If there’s any news about him, they’ll notify you immediately.”
Jane first asked April to relax, and April nodded. For now, she could only follow Jane’s arrangements.
“I will respond to this matter from the official account, and the headline clearly states Star Entertainment. This matter concerns the reputation of the company, and we can’t act recklessly.”
“I understand.”
April nodded and quickly returned to her position.
However, because of the incident involving Marco, April remained restless, worrying about Marco’s situation day and night.
She took a deep breath, and soon, someone on the internet revealed even bigger news.
Jane looked at the trending topic: “Solid Evidence of Marco’s Drug Use” and her heart suddenly pounded.
“What’s going on…”
She clicked on it and found that someone had leaked a video of Marco using drugs.
As she watched the video, the surroundings were dimly lit, and a figure of a man appeared-Marco!
He held a small pipe in his hand and gently exhaled a puff of smoke, forming rings that drifted out.
This kind of smoke clearly wasn’t emitted by ordinary tobacco.
Jane’s hand trembled slightly. She couldn’t believe that netizens had even found such a video!
She furrowed her brows and then clicked on the person’s Twitter account.
There weren’t many posts on Twitter, but it had already exposed a lot of information about the person.
Jane casually opened one of the photos and conducted a search online, quickly finding the location of that person’s company.
Jane’s pupils contracted, and she immediately arranged for vehicles and security personnel to head to that company.
Fortunately, Jane was somewhat acquainted with the boss of that company. She took the person’s Twitter account and went in to inquire, quickly finding the whistleblower.
The whistleblower turned out to be a low-level employee of the company. She usually indulged in gossip the most, sitting idly at the front desk, receiving a meager monthly salary, and hardly making any contributions.
“Are you the one?”
Soon, Jane found her with the person’s Twitter account. The employee was clearly dumbfounded, never expecting someone to come looking for her.
“You’re…?”
“I’m Jane.”
Jane revealed her identity, and the employee looked at her, instinctively wanting to escape, but she was quickly seized by the security personnel.
“What are you going to do to us?”
