Chapter 198 The Antidote

Jeremy suddenly found himself wide awake.

Wasn’t it Charlie who had taken Imogen out of the tent?

Jeremy was filled with regret, chastising himself for letting someone take Imogen away from him so easily!

The person who sneaked into Imogen’s tent in the middle of the night definitely had malicious intentions, perhaps even similar to his own!

Everything he had done was now benefiting someone else!

Had he stopped Imogen and framed that person for drugging her, perhaps she would have been so touched that she’d choose to be with him!

He had missed such a great opportunity, and Jeremy was filled with remorse.

The tour guide peeked into the open tent and, as expected, it was empty. “Did she take her phone with her?”

“No!”

Imogen’s phone was still lying in the tent.

“Could she have gone to the woods to use the bathroom?” the tour guide speculated.

The driver and some other people also gathered around.

A man tried to console, “Let’s not panic. Let’s wait here for a bit. If she doesn’t return in ten minutes, we can go search.”

Jeremy then chimed in with his own perspective, “Her phone is here. Could she have mistakenly gone to a different tent after coming back from the bathroom?”

The

person who took Imogen had to be from their tour group. He had discreetly counted and everyone was present. This meant Imogen must be hidden in a tent.

The tour guide suggested, “Let’s first check the tents, maybe she entered the wrong one.”

Everyone began to help, each inspecting their own tent. After a thorough check, everyone shook their heads.

Jeremy was too nervous to speak.
