The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 486 Eyes Turned Red With Fury

As Elias took in his surroundings, he suddenly realized that this place seemed to be the red- light district.

Could it be possible that Amanda has been abducted by human traffickers?

The mere thought of this possibility sent a pounding ache through his head, and he tightly gripped the phone Amanda had left behind. He swiftly dialed his bodyguard’s number and commanded, “Gather the team and find Amanda. Search every nook and cranny of Imperia and bring her back to me!”

“Understood. I’m on it!”

After ending the call, Elias gasped for breath and suddenly felt dizzy. His body collapsed to the ground.

Right where he had discovered Amanda’s phone moments ago, his eyes caught sight of a few fresh drops of blood – still glistening as if freshly spilled.

Struggling to regain his composure, Elias reached out and brushed his fingers over the crimson stains. In an instant, his eyes turned red with fury.

He had a strong premonition that Amanda left behind these bloodstains.

In his mind, vivid scenes of Amanda’s possible ordeal flashed before him. The more he dwelled on it, the more his head throbbed, and his remorse deepened.

If only he had foreseen this, he would have spirited Amanda away today, by any means

necessary.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed with an incoming call.

Elias anticipated it might be his bodyguard with some leads, so he hastily picked up the call. However, he wasn’t prepared to hear Simon’s anxious voice on the other end.

“I heard from Rosanne that you came to my house. How’s it going? Any updates? I’ve been searching high and low, but Amanda is still nowhere to be found.”

“You’re just a useless mess! You have a blind date, and yet you’re fooling around with. Amanda, a married woman! Let me tell you, I found her phone in the red-light district, and there were even a few drops of blood on the ground. If anything happens to Amanda, I won’t spare you!”

With that, Elias abruptly cut the call, refusing to waste another word on Simon. His top priority was locating Amanda as swiftly as possible.
