Chapter 244 Don’t Make Me Repeat Myself

As he had expected, the bedroom was empty with no signs of Josephine.

Mrs. Larson and Mrs. White stood nervously behind him, their hearts pounding as they stared at Lewis’ back.

Lewis turned around and glared at them coldly, asking, “Where did she go?”

Mrs. Larson said with difficulty, “If we had known where she went, wouldn’t we have… found her already?”

After that, Lewis’ eyes darkened. Mrs. Larson didn’t dare to utter another word.

“What’s the use of hiring either of you?”

Lewis told them icily before turning to the study. He turned on the surveillance camera and saw how Josephine stepped out of the house anxiously, waited for a car for twenty minutes, then got into the car and left.

He reached for his phone and called Conrad.

Knowing that Josephine had gone missing again, Conrad’s heart thumped furiously against his chest. Who was it this time that took her away?

After receiving some instructions, Conrad drove his car along the street in search of her.

Just as Lewis left the house, he bumped into Dr. Halliday, who was rushing over to the Styx Mansion with a medical box.

At the gate, he was blocked by Lewis’ car. Taken aback, he quickly walked over to greet Lewis.

“Mr. Alvarez, I’m here for Miss. Vance’s medical treatment.”

Lewis only spared him a glance. He said with a slightly angry tone, “She’s missing.”

Dr. Halliday widened his eyes in shock. “Huh? Where did she go?”

When Lewis shot him another look, Dr. Halliday snapped back to reality, feeling a strong urge to slap himself for his momentary lapse of judgment.

If Lewis had known where she went, would he still say that she was missing?

Dr. Halliday admonished himself inwardly for his stupidity. Then, he stammered, “May- Maybe she got lost.”

He had mentioned this before. Many people with this exact disease would go missing, and there would be no more news of them. People wouldn’t know if they were alive or dead.

“I’ll search for her with you.”
