“Young Master Mason, do you have any orders?”
“Where’s Jan?”
“Huh? Hasn’t Miss Jackson come back yet?” The servants looked at one another with puzzled looks on their faces.
Janet left the house in the evening and since it was midnight now, the servants thought that she had gone to bed.
However, for some reason, she had yet to return; she did not even give a call.
Mason inhaled deeply, suppressing the wrath inside him. “Did she say anything before she left?” His voice was terrifyingly cold.
The young lady’s whereabouts had always been a mystery. If she did not want anyone to know where she was, nobody could find her, so searching for her now might not produce any results.
The servants were stunned for a few seconds before looking at one another and shaking their heads in unison.
Mason gritted his teeth when he saw them shaking their heads vigorously.
Just as he was about to blow a gasket, a servant suddenly stepped forward and said in a small voice, “Miss Jackson was with Sean before she left, so maybe he knows better about this.”
Sean? In other words, she left after she examined the bullets? Mason frowned, his straight brows deeply furrowed as he thought, Could it be that Sean told her about something, such as me seeing a woman’s body, which made her jealous so she’s ignoring me? Or perhaps she has found out the identity of that person through the bullets, but she intentionally hid it from me and went to look for the other party to settle scores on my behalf?
Nevertheless, both deductions were not outcomes he wished to see.
I won’t just sit by and watch any of them happen—no matter if it is Jan ignoring me out of jealousy or trying to avenge me after she discovered something from the bullets. In fact, the latter is worse because Jan is no match for that cunning woman. Mason had so many things going on in his mind at the same time that his head nearly exploded! It’s all Rose’s fault—if it were not because of her, I, the most powerful person in Asia, wouldn’t have experienced such exasperation! If something were to happen to my relationship with Jan, I definitely won’t let her go!
Meanwhile at the Royal Garden, Janet’s phone kept ringing in the room. She did not end the call nor did she switch off the phone; she just left it there to ring non-stop.
“Janet, are you really not going to pick up the phone?” Desire reminded her from one side.
Janet did not even glance at the phone while a cold smile played on her lips.
Only when the phone stopped ringing did she pick the phone up. She tapped open the call log and glanced at it nonchalantly.
Just as she had expected—they were all calls from Mason.
Janet frowned. He called me so late at night, probably because he realized that I am not at the Lowry Residence. Hmph, you can call me as many times as you want!
She put down her phone, picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine.
At one in the morning in the Lowry Residence, the man had been sitting on the couch as he waited for her for an hour. All the servants, who were standing off to one side, lacked the courage to make any sound as they could feel the cold aura emanating from Mason.
Sean, on the other hand, was even more horrified. Cold sweat kept dripping down his back and forehead, but he dared not wipe it away. “Young Master Mason, if we really can’t find Miss Jackson, should we contact Rose and ask for her help to find her?”
The Lowry Family had sent their men to go look for Janet an hour ago but to no avail.
However, Rose might have a way to locate her; after all, her hacking skills were comparable to Mason’s.
Perhaps she was able to locate Janet.
Hearing that, Mason pursed his lips. He’s suggesting that I beg for Rose’s help? I can’t do that! If it weren’t for Rose, Jan wouldn’t have disappeared in the first place!
As Mason did not agree to it, nobody dared to say anything.
After falling silent for some time, he started to hesitate. If I really bow down to Rose, it would be akin to being humiliated by a woman, which would make me lose my pride.
