While everyone was anxiously searching for the children, a person appeared in an abandoned factory in the outskirts.
She kept muttering and cursing under her breath.
Because this children belonged to Jane, if it were her own children, she wouldn’t be as frantic as she was now.
“Damn Jane, this time I want to see how worried you are. The children are missing now. Are you going crazy?”
“Unfortunately, even if you go crazy, you won’t get the children back. Moreover, the children are in my hands, and you won’t see them again.”
Melissa muttered to herself, constantly speaking ill of Jane.
It was like a neurotic person plunging into madness, except she still had some sanity left.
If she completely lost her rationality, she might have already harmed the children by now.
“Hahaha…”
As Melissa said these words, she inexplicably burst into laughter, this time looking as if she had lost her sanity.
But she continued to curse Jane while looking at the children, berating her and then continuing to curse.
Meanwhile, at the hotel, April and Jane were waiting for law enforcement officers to arrive.
Jane didn’t rely solely on this option; she was leveraging her connections.
She made call after call, hoping that her friends could help find her children.
Some friends agreed, but they hadn’t given any updates yet, so Jane had to continue leveraging her connections.
“Waiting for law enforcement officers like this won’t work. I think I’ll go find Patrick instead. What if they are in the company or some other familiar place?”
“It’s also possible that Patrick is up to something, so he doesn’t have his phone with him.”
Jane’s anger had already ignited within her, and she had been thinking about this earlier.
When she heard April’s suggestion, she simply replied indifferently, “Do as you please.”
“Then I’ll go, but you have to control your emotions here and not lose your calm mind.”
April quickly instructed Jane as she was about to leave.
She feared that Jane would let her anger build up here and eventually unleash it on someone else.
Or she would vent it on something, which would cause Jane to lose her ability to judge in an agitated state.
“Don’t worry, you go. I’ll dismiss all my friends here first.”
Jane’s voice was extremely cold, but she hadn’t lost her sanity. She gathered all the friends in the lobby.
“Everyone, something unexpected has happened, and I don’t want to see it either, but there’s no way around it, so I feel sorry.”
“I need to find my children now, so I have to ask all of you to leave for the time being. Once I find them, I’ll notify you to come back, or if everyone has nothing to do, you can just stay here.”
“I’ve already ordered all the meals, so we can have dinner here on time later.”
Jane finished speaking and expressed her apologies to everyone, although some of them said they wouldn’t leave.
Because of what happened to Jane, they felt it would be heartless to leave her alone.
So they decided to stay and help Jane, while others made excuses and left. In any case, Jane had made arrangements, and some friends were comforting her.
“We already know who took the children, and there should be news soon. The law enforcement personnel have just recorded all this.”
“I think they should go back and investigate. They should have news soon since they are professionals, unlike us.”
These comforting words made Jane feel slightly better.
After the law enforcement officers left, they immediately arranged for people to retrieve all the surveillance footage in the vicinity, not just from the hotel.
Meanwhile, April had already arrived at Patrick’s company. She asked a few people there, but none of them had seen Patrick.
“Do any of you know where the boss went?”
The people she asked shook their heads, which gave April a bad feeling. She felt that Patrick might be in trouble too.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a complete lack of information about Patrick. Even some people mentioned that they had tried to call him for other matters.
But Patrick didn’t answer the calls, which was strange to them.
They also wanted to know where the boss was.
“If none of you know where the boss is, why don’t you call the police?”
April said angrily, and someone spoke up in response.
“What if the boss just left the phone aside and went to do something? How can we call the police in that situation?”
Their thinking was similar to April’s previous thoughts, but now April didn’t think the same way. She knew they couldn’t waste any more time.
“I’ll call the police now, and you can try to contact some other friends and find the boss.”
“I’m worried for you. Even if your boss doesn’t have any other issues, it would be a good thing if the phone call can locate him.”
April made her own call, realizing that she didn’t need to inform Jane about it yet. It wouldn’t be meaningful to tell Jane at this point.
Originally, she came to find Patrick to solve the problem, but now she was at the company, not only unable to solve the problem but also facing the issue of Patrick’s disappearance.
Telling Jane about this would only add to her worries.
So it was better to wait for the law enforcement officers to arrive. April was considering these things on behalf of Jane.
At the abandoned factory, Melissa continued to curse Jane, but as she cursed, she started feeling exhausted.
“I must make her suffer like I do. I want her to come here and see me, beg me. Only then will I feel satisfied.”
“Hehehe…”
Melissa’s hysteria grew, and this idea quickly occupied her mind. She took out her phone.
At the hotel, Jane received a phone call. There were no unnecessary words, only an address.
When Melissa hung up the phone, Jane felt extremely anxious. She knew what she needed to do next.
