Chapter 164 What Happens When Ethan Loses His Temper (1)

They had checked all of the vehicles, hotels, and residential areas, as well as every single surveillance footage they could get their hands on. However, it was a fact that they had not gone looking for her at every company. After all, who would’ve thought that Alice was in Galerprises and had not left for two entire days? It didn’t make any sense.

“Yeah.” Alice lowered her head, her eyes as dark as an abyss. She could catch the gist of the reason why Bruce was looking for her.

Bruce must be seeking her out because he saw her with the project manager of Galerprises earlier. As he wanted to bid for the Riverwale project as well, there was a huge possibility that he wanted to find out what was going on at Galerprises.
