Chapter 738 The Situation Doesn’t Look Optimistic
Upon returning to the island in haste, Sharon did not see any trace of Joe.
Gorya raised her eyebrows and informed him, “After you left, Mr. Smith locked
himself in his study. It’s been said that he’s been on the phone the entire time,
but no matter how we called, he didn’t come out.”
A hint of concern flashed in Sharon’s eyes as he quickly made his way to Joe’s
room.
This room was supposed to be their bridal chamber, but it remained while the
bride was nowhere to be found.
Sharon suppressed his emotions and knocked on the door.

As expected, there was no response.
He thought for a moment and said, “I’ve found some clues, and you…”
The room’s door was quickly pulled open, and a disheveled Joe appeared in
front of him. His voice was hoarse as he asked, “What clues?”
With his voice came a heavy scent of smoke.
Sharon’s gaze landed on the ashtray on the table, where the cigarette butts
were almost overflowing. It was hard to imagine how many cigarettes Joe had

Based on the information they had so far, the employer’s demand seemed to be
capturing Charlotte alive without any intention to harm her.
But once those tracking Solomon make a move and startle them, the
consequences would no longer be within their control.
Joe sat in silence, his hand reaching for the table to grab a cigarette, but Sharon
stopped him.
He looked up at her with a bewildered expression, and seeing him like this,
Sharon sighed deeply, “I know you’re hurting right now, but you can’t destroy
your own body like this.”
“Do you really plan on bringing Charlotte back and letting yourself fall apart?”
Joe looked at their wedding photo on the table and eventually withdrew his
hand.
With furrowed brows, he said to Sharon, “Give it three days. If there’s no
progress after three days, we’ll gather the mercenaries.”
This time, Charlotte’s disappearance was truly baffling. Everyone involved had
