From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 518

If the system were still with her, she wouldn't be stumbling from one dead end to another.

Just then, her phone rang.

Rebecca took a deep breath and answered. "Dad?"

"Rebecca, how's it going? Did you see Mr. Christensen and Mr. Robinson?" Daly's voice was taut with worry.

She forced herself to sound steady. "Dad, try not to worry. I promise I'll sort this out!"

It had only been a day, and yet half of the Morris Group's assets had already vanished. Of course Daly was panicking.

"Hurry, then. I'll be waiting for your news."

"Okay." Rebecca hung up, her brows knitting in frustration.

Suddenly, a thought struck her.

Midnight Bar.

She remembered the system mentioning once that Daniel was a regular there—- he dropped by several times a week.

So, if she went to Midnight Bar, she'd almost certainly run into him.

It wasn't long before her car pulled up in front of the place.

At the same moment, the black sedan that had been tailing her all afternoon rolled to a stop at the curb as well.

Five burly men stepped out and headed into the bar, one after another.

Inside, the air was thick with neon and the pulse of music-glamour and vice woven together.

Rebecca scanned the crowd, searching for Daniel's familiar face.
