Chapter 345 Rose Is Missing The Gibsons' driver took them back to the Gibson family's mansion.
"No need." Jonathan took his coat off, although he looked cold. He glanced at Zac and then brushed past him to walk straight to the door.
He was in a hurry as he had planned to find Rose yesterday, but Zac had delayed him. When he woke up, he could only think about her and couldn't wait to see her. "Hey, Jon! At least you ..." Zac chased after him but realized that only Rose could make Jonathan so anxious.
He thought that he had better not hinder the couple from meeting each other. So, he stopped and immediately ordered the driver to take Jonathan away.
Jonathan went directly to Young Estate. When he arrived, he charged his phone and called Rose, but she didn't pick it up.
It was dark in Young Estate. For sreason, his eagerness to see Rose had diminished. He felt a little anxious now. Frowning, he decided to go in. He rang the doorbell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA servant who had been left behind to keep watch answered the door. The servant immediately recognized him. He had visited Rose several times before.
Before he could even open his mouth, the servant hurriedly said, "Ms. Rose went to an orphanage with Mr. Young Senior. Everyone else is there too." Orphanage? "Which orphanage?" The servant couldn't answer him. As he failed to get a definite answer, he decided to call Finley. Even if he needed to investigate all the orphanages in Aquastead, he was determined to see her tonight. His urgency grew stronger. But before he could take action, Finley called him first.
"Sir, something bad has happened." He frowned, thinking Finley was referring to the Finches. But then Finley continued, "Mrs. Finch is in danger." His expression shifted, and he asked, "What happened to Rose?" Finley didn't sugarcoat the details. A few minutes ago, he received an envelope. In addition to a note, there was a ring inside it.
As the red diamond on the ring was very conspicuous, he immediately recognized it. It was the priceless red diamond that Jonathan had used to make a ring for Rose.
This ring should have been on her hand, but someone sent it to him. On the note, there was only the word "Lane".
Images flashed through Jonathan's mind. "The Lane family, Nixon Lane!" He almost dropped his phone. Among those he knew, only Nixon carried the surnLane. But wasn't Nixon in the psychiatric facility? At this point, he no longer cared to figure out if Nixon had escaped. Thinking that Rose might be in danger, he dared not to waste his time. He ordered Finley to gather his people. After hanging up, he immediately dialed Miles' number.
Miles was at the beach when he got Jonathan's call. He didn't want to answer it. He was about to hang up, but he hesitated.
Jonathan rarely contacted him. They had no business dealings together. If it was a personal matter, it could only be about Rose. He frowned and accepted the call.
In the few seconds he had waited, Jonathan had gotten to the extremes of anxiousness. So, when the call connected, he almost shouted, "Where's Rose?" Miles didn't like his attitude and wasn't willing to tell Jonathan about her whereabouts.
But before he could speak, Jonathan urgently asked, "Which orphanage are you at? Rose is in danger! Nixon escaped from the psychiatric facility!" After realizing that he hadn't found her after such a long time, he began to recognize the seriousness of the situation.
The Lane family had gone bankrupt, and he had heard about Nixon's scandal. Only Jonathan could topple Aquastead's wealthiest family in such a short time. If Nixon disappeared, it was indeed possible that he had taken his revenge on Rose.
"We're at Sacred Heart Orphanage. It's just beside the Silver Sea." After getting the information he needed, Jonathan hung up. He immediately informed Finley of it and borrowed a car from the Gibson family. He rushed over as quickly as possible.
Miles clutched his phone tightly. The night sky and the sea gradually blended together. It was so dark that he felt suffocated by the nothingness. But he didn't dare to think much at this time. He convinced himself that Nixon was unable to do much alone.
"Rosie ..." He rushed back inside the orphanage and went straight to Rose's room. He wanted to confirm if she was inside, but no one answered despite his furious knocking. Without hesitation, he kicked the door open. "Rosie?" He turned on the lights but didn't see her anywhere. All he saw was a teacup on the ground. Damn it! He quickly went out to wake the servants up to get them to search for Rose. However, to his surprise, almost all the servants, even Patrick, were in a deep sleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Miles, what's wrong? What happened?" The noise he was making naturally alarmed Gabriel.
Kelly had planned to seduce him and had tried various excuses to get into his room. She even wore provocative clothes to tempt him, but she didn't expect him to remain indifferent to her.
She was depressed. When she heard smovement coming from outside, she realized Gabriel was about to explore. She decided to try and talk to Miles before Gabriel did.
Miles was in Oliver's room. He found out that Oliver was also gone. Gabriel also noticed it.
"Where is Grandpa?"
She secretly sneered upon hearing that. It had been a while since that man had taken Oliver away if he had followed the plan, he should have caused an "accident" for Oliver by now. But in front of Miles, she had to pretend to know nothing. "Ah! Where is Grandpa?" She hurriedly entered the room and looked around. She truly looked worried. She would have made a great actor.
"Go find them!"
For a moment, Miles felt like he could barely breathe. Fear coursed through his veins. He felt even more Om e frightened and uneasy at this moment than when he heard about Harriette's death. But soon, he calmed down.
Something fishy was happening. The servants were all asleep, and Rose and Oliver had disappeared at the stime. It seemed like someone had planned this. Could Nixon do all of this alone? But Miles didn't have tto ponder. The priority was to find them! "Let's go!" He then strode out of the room. Neither Patrick nor the servants could help, so they could only rely on themselves. They agreed to split up outside. Miles strode to the mountains behind the orphanage while Gabriel went the opposite way.
