Chapter 59

When Raymond stepped outside, Citrine was already gone.

He stared at the deserted street corner, and a sudden sharp pain seized his

chest.

Gritting his teeth against the discomfort, Raymond pulled out his phone and dialed Citrine's number. The phone rang and rang, but no one picked up.

Anxious now, he called Adler instead; this time, the line connected almost immediately.

"Find out where Citrine went. She just left my father's place," Raymond blurted out before Adler could even greet him.

"Don't worry, President Carmichael, I'll look into it right away," Adler replied, concern evident in his tone.

Raymond forced himself through the pain and got into his car.

But the moment he started the engine, the ache in his chest grew sharper, nearly blinding him. His hands faltered on the wheel, and the car veered off course, slamming straight into a tree on the curb.
