Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

He frowned and thought to himself, ‘Why is her phone turned off?’ She had no other place to go to other than the campus, which was already empty by now. He looked at the man and asked, “Did she say where she was going?”

The man shook his head, “But I think she probably went to the crematorium first, otherwise where would she put the body?”

Boyce looked at the time. The crematorium was already closed by now. He replied, “Okay.”

While pushing the door to his office open, he thought of something and called the man again, “Is there a record of her hometown’s address in the file?”

“Where’s that?”

“J county.”

Boyce asked again, “Is there a detailed address?”

The man doesn’t remember, “It should be there.”

“Bring me the file.”

Then, Boyce walked into the office while the man had to go and get the file for him. When he came back, he passed the file to Boyce.

“You can go home now.” Boyce took the file over and looked at the address section of her record. J county, which was a mountainous place, was quite a distance away from City B. Initially, Boyce wanted to send his men to accompany Jasmine back to her hometown when she came and claim the dead body since he didn’t have the time to spare.

She was a girl and needed to be taken care of.

But it looked like she left already.

Boyce closed the file, feeling uneasy as he sat back in his chair.

Public transportation required the passengers to purchase tickets with their IDs now, so if it wasn’t this late, Boyce could’ve found out how she traveled back home.

However, he was fidgeting from his worry for that girl.

In the end, he couldn’t sit still anymore. He took his keys and left the office. Once he got into the car, he used his phone to navigate the way to J county. After planning his route, he drove on the road according to the navigation.

Actually, Jasmine hadn’t left yet. She wasn’t planning to return anymore after leaving, so she was still settling her school matters for dropping out.

That was why even after the sun came up the following day, Boyce couldn’t find any of her traveling records after getting his people to check on it.

“She didn’t purchase any train, high-speed rail or plane tickets? There’s no record at all?” Boyce’s heart skipped a beat. ‘How did she go back then?’
