Chapter 258

Chapter 258:

Bryan told Bailee, “Request the hotel staff to scour the premises for any clues and verify if all employees are on duty.” After ending the call with Bailee, Bryan called Raymond to ensure the hotel staff would assist Bailee.

Soon, the hotel manager appeared in the lobby and shouted, “Excuse me, which one of you is Bailee Brooks?”

A startled Bailee quickly responded, “Me.”

Following Bryan’s instructions, Bailee had the entire hotel staff assemble in the lobby.

Once everyone was there, the manager reported to Bailee, “Indeed, there is a new employee who is not here.”

Bailee, anxious, inquired, “What’s her name?”

“Megan Beckett,” the manager replied.

Bailee felt a wave of panic. Before she could compose herself, the hotel’s security team reported finding a clue in the underground parking area.

“This USB drive was discovered in the underground parking lot.” The manager took the USB drive from the security team and handed it to Bailee. “Ms. Brooks, can you confirm if this is your sister’s USB drive?”

Bailee, recognizing the USB, nodded. She recalled how, after the seminar, they had realized the USB had not been packed and that Eileen had simply pocketed it.

The discovery of the USB in the underground parking lot confirmed Eileen had been there.

Alarmed, Bailee quickly used Eileen’s phone to call Bryan.

After briefing Bryan on the situation, her voice shook with emotion. “Bryan, nothing bad will happen to my sister, right? You’ll find her and bring her back, won’t you?”

The storm’s fury lit up the hotel, mirrored in her eyes—every worry and tear painfully evident. Bryan, caught in the tempest, reassured her despite his prospects. “I will,” he said. Visibility was abysmal on Bryan’s side, a single wrong move threatening to send his car spiraling into an unseen chasm.

The heavy downpour had erased any traces on the road, yet it was undeniable that the car Ewan had seen was carrying Eileen. It had left the hotel.

Bryan was not sure how long he would need to drive on this dangerous road.

Bailee’s voice was tinged with worry as she spoke to Bryan. “Be cautious, and return safely. I await your good news.”

Regaining her composure after ending the call, Bailee declared, “Megan endangered my sister’s safety. With this storm sealing her in the hotel, finding her is crucial. We need to confront her once my sister and her boyfriend return.”

The hotel manager, aware that Bryan was Bailee’s partner, promptly directed the staff to search every room without delay.
