Chapter 424 The Person Remains Missing

At The Entrance of Mr. Lawson’s Shop.

Joseph had barely uttered a few words when the phone call ended, leaving his face flushed with anger.

“Angela!” he muttered through gritted teeth, consumed by anger and

resentment.

Mr. Lawson from his small shop remarked, “Time is ticking.”

Fixing Mr. Lawson with a cold stare, Joseph settled his bill and left without another glance. He knew that trying to call Angela again would only lead to another abrupt hang–up.

He needed another plan. As he went home, Joseph pondered who else he could turn to for help. With no other options in sight, he thought of Christopher.

Had Christopher, who cared deeply for Fanny, already found her? he thought.

Without delay, he dialed Christopher’s number. However, the call went straight to voicemail. Being unaware that Christopher was currently on a flight, Joseph even entertained the thought that he might have found Fanny and deliberately kept her hidden!

In the dead of night, Joseph remained clueless about Fanny’s whereabouts. Then, unexpectedly, Christopher reached out to him. Joseph quickly answered the phone, bombarding Christopher with a barrage of questions, demanding answers, and punctuating his frustration with a few choice curses. This is a testament to his hours spent running around like a headless chicken.
