NovelBookChapter 23 Chapter 23 In the penthouse office of Apex Squad, Emery sat behind his desk, his hands crossed and resting against his forehead, his forehead pressed against the back of his hands.
None of the tasks demanding his attention could stir any enthusiasm in him.
It had been days since he sent his assistant to check on Aubree's current situation, but there was still no news. 'Aubree has no money, and as a girl, where could she go after leaving home?' he said inwardly.
Even the bodyguards he recently sent to block her at school haven't seen her.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was his mom.

Emery's heart gave a sudden lurch as he listened.
With Aubree's whereabouts unknown, his mom was actually in the mood to have the family accompany Carmen to relax at a hot spring resort.
He felt both shocked and infinitely sad. 'So this was how Aubree was treated at home!' "No, I'm busy here." Emery hung up and almost rushed to call the cops.
But just then, his assistant knocked on the door and entered. "Sir, we've got news. Miss Aubree Miller rented a room in the ghetto after leaving the Wilson family.
"However..." Before the assistant could tell Emery that Aubree had been kicked out by Bryan, Emery grabbed his car keys and rushed to the ghetto.
Upon reaching the ghetto, Emery was shocked that such a place existed in Rithol.
The narrow, dirty streets were crowded with people, making parking difficult.
His fancy car stood out like a monkey in a zoo, attracting stares. So, he had to park further away and then walk to the location his assistant mentioned.
As a rich heir born with a silver spoon, the biggest hardship Emery had faced was probably eating salad every day during a gin Koraland.
Stepping into the ghetto, he felt dizzy, assaulted by an indescribable smell, with dirty garbage everywhere. Many middle-aged men strolled around shirtless.
Groups of green-haired delinquents on the street were smoking and leering at passing young women.
'Has Aubree been living in such an environment?' With this thought, Emery's face turned pale.
He dared not imagine what Aubree might have gone through. As a pretty girl, how could she survive in such a place? Stumbling, he ran to the residential building where Aubree once rented. After sinquiries, he found the landlord.
"Excuse me, has a pretty girl around sixteen rented a room here?" he asked.

"Yes, is her nAubree Miller?" He sounded very enthusiastic.
Emery's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes, where is she now?"
The landlord, thinking he was about to make another profit, simpered Since I kicked her out as you instructed last time, how would I know her whereabouts?" "Kicked out?" Emery was stunned.
'Who instructed to kick her out?' He panicked.
The landlord knew something was up when he saw Emery's expression. He immediately started groaning and tried to avoid contact. "I don't know. I don't know." eye
At that moment, the assistant, who hadn't finished speaking, caught up with Emery. "Mr. Wilson, I wasn't done talking. On Tuesday, during the entrance exam at Rithol High School, Miss Miller was accused of cheating. 20)
