Sure enough, everything had approved his guess.
In the past, he thought the reason why Maria was against Loredana was that Loredana had married him.
It wasn’t until now did he realized that Maria hated Loredana because of more reasons rather than only their marriage.
The incident that happened six years ago was the most important one.
His face pulled extremely long in the gloomy and cold air, looking quite horrible.
“Do you have any clue about her?” Now he could almost be sure that Maria had something to do with
Loredana’ disappearance.
“I’ve asked my men to keep an eye on her as soon as the result was found. So far we haven’t found her,” said Boyce.
“Please look for her as soon as possible.” His hands clenched tightly. “I’ve underestimated her viciousness.”
Boyce looked at his gloomy face, inhaling. “I’ll add more men.”
He immediately called his subordinates, hurrying up to look for Maria’s whereabouts.
“Don’t panic. The Herbert family is rooted in this city. Even if Maria Herbert escaped, her family is still here,” said Boyce.
Cormac’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Loredana is missing.”
“What?” Boyce was confused. “Wasn’t she totally fine during the daytime?”
“I lost contact with her at night.” His voice was quite distant as if his words were floating in the air, vanishing in the wind.
Boyce was a detail-oriented man. After all, he was a detective. Immediately, he found the key point.
“Something to do with Maria Herbert?”
Wasn’t it pretty obvious?
Cormac took a glance at Beulah’s body that was under the white cloth. “Why do you think she would die?”
Boyce thought for a while. “Was it a ploy to buy time?”
The person used Beulah’s death to distract them and buy time. After they had figured out the situation,
Loredana was already taken away by them.
And their ultimate target was Loredana.
Beulah was just a dead piece in the game.
She was already sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if she didn’t die, she would spend the rest of her life in jail without any freedom.
Hence, if she was offered enough benefits, she should be willing to take the risk.
However, she had already died. What could she do with those benefits offered?
Boyce couldn’t figure it out.
“Let’s go out and have a talk.” He had been in the mortuary long enough. He felt cold now.
The lights in the detention house were all out. Everything was in the dark, making them feel creepy.
After returning to the building, Boyce pushed his office door open. He asked, “Would you like to drink something?”
Cormac ignored him. He sank into the sofa and said in a gloomy tone, “Please hurry up and look for her.”
Boyce could tell that he was not in a good mood, well, an extremely bad wood as if he was suppressing something, which could be exploded at any time. Boyce didn’t dare to retort him. Pulling out his phone, he called his subordinates again.
Boyce’s subordinates got the call and said quickly, “I was about to call you. We got a clue – Maria
Herbert has appeared in Pal Club earlier. I’m looking for her right here now.”
“I got it.” Boyce hung up the phone. Looking over at Cormac, he said, “We have a clue. She’s in Pal
Club.”
Cormac stood up suddenly, rushing out without speaking anything.
Boyce followed him. After taking a few steps, he trotted back to take the vacuum cup on the desk. Then he fastened his paces to catch up with Cormac while gulping down some tea.
Pal Club – it was quite lively now. The nightlife had just begun.
Due to the investigation, those people who came here for fun were called by the policemen to the hall and lined up, being asked questions.
When the policemen rushed over, Maria had already gone without any trace. She was sitting in a booth drinking only.
After receiving a call, she left. Now the clue was broken again in Pal Club.
When Cormac and Boyce arrived, they had finished questioning.
“She came here for a drink simply. After getting a call, she left. We have gone to request for the surveillance nearby, trying to find her traces.”
Boyce gingerly looked over at the man in the dark.
Cormac was emanating an arctic coldness, making people retreat in fear.
Suddenly, he turned around and strode towards the door. Boyce followed him in a hurry. “Where are you going?”
Cormac didn’t answer him, just getting in the car. Boyce talked to his men, “Keep on looking for her.
Try to make it as soon as possible.”
Then he followed Cormac to sit in his car.
They were downtown, but Cormac sped up the car speed to 110km/h. Fortunately, there were not so many cars on the street. Otherwise, they would definitely have an accident.
Boyce grabbed the seat belt tightly, looking at Cormac in secret. He had never seen Cormac in such a panic and acting so recklessly before.
“Do you care about Ms. Flores a lot?” Boyce asked tentatively.
He knew Cormac liked Loredana, but he never expected that Loredana could impact Cormac so deeply.
Who was Cormac Mendelsohn?
He took over WY Group at the age of twenty, and he had been always calm no matter if he was facing glory or humiliation. Through the decades, he had been through a lot of ups and downs, but he never changed his expression during them.
However, today, Boyce saw the uneasiness and panic on Cormac’s face.
Cormac looked straight. The outline of his side face and his temple were tightened into a line, the popped-out veins keeping jumping.
He cared about her, so very much.
And it was not as simple as he cared about her only – he liked that woman.
Soon the car was stopped. Boyce finally realized where they had arrived …
