Chapter 535

As the evening lights flickered to life, the mood in Elmsworth was far from serene.

Upon reaching the Elmsworth Film Academy, they parked discreetly at the back. Gordon, drenched in sweat, approached them with dire news. Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy! We’ve turned the school upside down and even had the dorm supervisor check Nydia’s room. There’s no sign of her!”

Their hearts sank.

“And I’ve checked the nearby CCTV footage. There’s no trace of Nydia
