Chapter 974 Miss Murphy’s Missing
"Before Nelson left, he asked Roni to save Lionel." Matthew smiled helplessly. "I bet this isn't a hard
request for you. Is it, Your Highness?"
Eleanor scoffed and rolled her eyes. "We've just got a deal, and you're trying to get ahead of yourself. I
expect nothing less from a businessman. You're a sly fox."
"Thank you so much, Your Highness." He showed his deepest gratitude.
As soon as he finished his words, the phone in his pocket rang. He fished it out and glanced at the
dialer's name, Dean Gesner. "Please give me a moment." He turned sideways to answer the call.
"Dean."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Boss, Miss Murphy is missing." Dean's voice was trembling.
"What?!" The ever-calm man lost his cool as he jumped from his seat. Frantic was written all over his
face. Meanwhile, Eleanor, reclining in the rattan chair, straightened her back upon his anxious reaction.
Frowning, she observed his expression with a hanging heart.
"Call everyone to look for her. Be quick. I'll be there soon." He terminated the call and faced her. "Sorry,
but I gotta go. Roni's missing. "
"Veronica's missing? I'm coming with you!" She stood up, wanting to tag along.
"No." He stopped her. "We've just got a deal. If we get too close, people will get suspicious. It won't do
any good to our plan."
"But…" She gave it a thought, figuring that he had a point. "Just tell me once you get her."
"Okay."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry back home," she urged.
He left at that instant. Watching the figure leave, Eleanor sighed and flopped onto the chair. Anxiety
was getting the best of her. "Why is Veronica missing all of a sudden? Is it Waylen again?"
An hour later, Matthew and Lazlo arrived at One Piece Restaurant at full pelt. Standing at the entrance,
Matthew saw Dean scurrying from the inside and questioned with solemnity, "What happened?"
"I don't know either. Mr. Crayson dropped by to meet Miss Murphy upstairs this afternoon. It took less
than thirty minutes before he left." Dean recalled nervously. "A while later, Miss Wilson claimed that she
didn't see Skyler anywhere, so she went upstairs to meet Miss Murphy. The next thing I know, Skyler
fainted, and Miss Murphy is nowhere to be found."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt happened due to their negligence; they assumed nothing would happen after Crayson left, yet
Veronica went missing. Had it not been for Shirley, it might take them longer to find out Veronica
disappeared.
"Where's Skyler?" Matthew strode to the parlor.
"He hasn't regained consciousness. Someone called a doctor, and he said Skyler was attacked with a
secret skill of the hidden clan. He won't be able to wake up for three to five days." Dean was shaking in
fear that Matthew would strangle him to death in anger.
Despite the distress, Matthew did not let it show on his composed face. "Any findings in Roni's room?"
"Nothing in particular. We had tight security, and there was always someone watching the surveillance.
There would be a report if they caught anything weird. I've asked the people on duty, and everything's
fine."
