Frank received the text message and soon brought someone with him. When he got out of the car and saw Raymond, he froze for a moment.
He had been Raymond's secretary for many years, so he had already seen this kind of scene. "Mr. Shaw, I've already had someone check ssecurity footage from the neighborhood." Raymond gave him a look. "Check the mail's security footage first." He said and then called Jake.

Then, as he put on his pants, he said," Something's happened to Scarlett. I'm going to go help Raymond to find her. Just wait forin the apartment until | get back." Yolanda Quinn was also stunned. "What's happened to Scarlett? Mr. Shaw doesn't allow her to go out anymore since she got pregnant, does he?" She lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed while Jake lifted his hand and held her down. "1 don’t know yet. Be good and wait forto cback." Yolanda froze and finally gave in and let go. "Well, be safe." Jake, who had reached the door, suddenly looked back at her and smiled. "I got it." After saying that, he said nothing more and hurriedly pulled the door open and went out.
When Jake arrived at the mall, Raymond had already investigated the security footage.
He walked over to Raymond. "What's going on?" Hearing his voice, Raymond didn't look back at Jake and quickly explained the situation to him in brief words.
"Scarlett cout to meet with Miss Carter today. Then the two of them parted after four in the afternoon.
Scarlett calledat 5:00 p.m. to cto pick her up, but when | cover, | found her gone." The Thomas family was a family of lawyers, so Jake had a lot of exposure to similar cases and had a lot of connections, so Raymond asked him to cover and help with the investigation.
Jake frowned. "Where's the security camera?" "It's broken." "Dammit! What a time!" Raymond grimaced. "But | got a text from someone who claims to be Mendes's wife." Jake took a cigarette, unlit, and held it in his mouth. "Is Mendes the CEO of Tenton's branch in the capital? Didn't he get sent to jail by you a while back? He embezzled more than four hundred million dollars. He will rot in prison for life!" Jake said as he thought about it. "So what does her wife want? He's already in jail. Does his wife think she can get her husband out of jail by doing so?" Raymond frowned and then seemed to think of something. "Maybe she just wants Mendes' money." He said, looking back at Frank. "Frank!" "Mr. Shaw?" Because Scarlett was missing and pregnant, Frank was also very worried about her safety.
"You go check out about Mendes' wife and her family!" Yet Frank soon cback to his senses. Frank had been Raymond's secretary for more than ten years.
Whenever he heard Raymond give him an order, he nodded and went to make the arrangements right away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBy seven o'clock in the evening of March in Juanton, it was completely dark.
The man Frank sent to inquire returned. After hearing the updated information, he looked upset. "Mr. Shaw, Mendes' wife's nis Tiera Platt. The Platt family went on a trip last month and hasn't returned yet, and Tiera quit her job half a month ago. None of her friends have seen her since she quit her job. And she has a son with Mendes, who was sent abroad a month ago.
Raymond realized that the Platt family was all gone, so Tiera planned it beforehand! And Mendes still had over 100 million dollars. How dare he! 100 million dollars was enough for Tiera and her family to live a fancy life abroad.
Now every clue could be connected.
Mendes' wife had no intention of saving Mendes because she only wanted Mendes" 100 million dollars! Throughout the night, Raymond's people, Jake's people, and policemen went out to keep looking for Scarlett but could not find her.
Tiera was obviously well-plotted, so they couldn’t have found Scarlett that easily.
