However, if something really happened to her…
Even if the entire magazine agency lost their lives, who would his wife alive to him?
Halfway up the mountain, he heard footsteps. A man’s muffled groan came and Gabriel shouted angrily. “Who is it?”
“President Jones?” A man was helping Sam who had fallen to the ground. Sam wiped the rainwater off his eyes. When he saw that it was Gabriel, he was shocked and frightened.
Gabriel ignored the man who called him and rushed towards Sam who was covered in mud and in a sorry state. If not for the man supporting him, Sam would have collapsed.
“Why did you leave her alone on the mountain?” He grabbed Sam by the collar, his cold tone full of violent anger.
When the strong wind pulled up the tree roots and smashed them down, it was Sam who protected Serenity. In fact, a thick tree had hit him.
He had walked so far with his injuries to ask for help. But honestly, he was feeling weak and almost helpless.
“She said…her stomach hurts… I thought you were still at the same place, so I asked her to stay at the signal tower before coming to find you.”
Upon hearing that her stomach was hurting, Gabriel became livid. He shook off Sam and quickly ran up the mountain, turning a deaf ear to the shouts behind him.
At the foot of the mountain, Mr. Shiloh was pacing anxiously. Ms. Lewis was also feeling uneasy.
The rain showed no signs of letting up. In fact, it was getting heavier. The thunder and lightning continued roaring and flashing as if demonstrating the anger of the gods.
Caleb and Xeno Lewis entered the surveillance room. Xeno closed the black umbrella in his hand and stood at the door. He quickly walked towards Ms. Lewis. “Ms. Lewis, is your foot injury serious?”
Ms. Lewis had been so worried about Serenity and Sam that she had forgotten that her ankle was still injured. Now that he was trying to help her up, the pain in her ankle shocked her in waves. Still, she bit her lip and shook her head.
Earlier, the moment they had reached the foot of the mountain, Ms. Lewis had called Xeno Lewis. He was Gabriel’s private lawyer after all so she was hoping he would be able to speak some sense into Gabriel.
Ms. Lewis was no fool to know that should anything happen to Serenity, Gabriel would not hesitate to implicate them. But the group from the magazine agency were innocent.
When Xeno received a call from Ms. Lewis, he immediately called Caleb to update the latter as well. Then, the two men rushed over.
The rain was so heavy that even Caleb’s clothes had gotten wet. He took the towel from Manager Shi and casually wiped himself. “How’s the situation on the mountain?”
“President Jones has gone up the mountain,” said Mr. Shiloh solemnly.
Caleb furrowed his brows and coldly said, “Mr. Shiloh, do you know that you’re in danger? By letting President Jones go up the mountain alone, are you ready to bear the responsibility if anything happens?”
Of course, Mr. Shiloh knew this, but even if he wasn’t paralyzed by the shock from hearing the news of the signal tower collapsing, he wouldn’t have dared to stop Gabriel.
“Why did President Jones go up the mountain?” Caleb continued to ask. “Who are the two people who went missing on the mountain?”
“It’s President Jones’s girlfriend, Serenity, and our colleague, Sam,” said Ms. Lewis, who had been silent all this while.
“Girlfriend?” Caleb should have figured it out. Besides Serenity, who else could make President Jones disregard his life and rush up the mountain like a madman? “She’s the Young Madam of the Jones family..”
