Meanwhile, employees of the Carousel Group president’s office held an emergency response meeting to discuss stock market fluctuations.
“Is this what you’ve come up with all night?” Wayne slammed a stack of folders on his desk.
None of them dared to respond to him.
“Mr. Wright, your phone is ringing,” Gabe said at that moment.
Wayne glanced at him and said, “I’m busy right now. I’ll call the person back when the meeting is over.”
Gabe wanted to say something else. However, Wayne had already opened the folder and pointed out the program’s flaws at that time. He appeared to be unwilling to discuss anything else.
Wayne was eager to resolve this matter because the Carousel Group had recently been in crisis. The meeting lasted for more than an hour. After awhile, all of them heard the sound of people talking loudly from outside.
“Miss Gabriel, Mr. Wright is in a meeting. You can’t go in!”
“Let go of me!”
Wayne froze when he heard that familiar voice. He then got to his feet and walked out. He’d just gotten to the door when Anna slammed it open and dashed in. She stormed in and slapped Wayne across the face The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the quiet conference room. Everyone was stunned, unable to believe what they were witnessing. Wayne’s right side of his face swelled up quickly. He looked at Anna in a daze, unable to respond to what had happened. Anna’s eyes were welling up with tears. She had one hand on Wayne’s collar and she looked almost broken. She yelled, “What happened to my daughter? Why did you kidnap my daughter again? Wayne, I don’t think I’ve done anything horrible to hurt you. I just want my child to grow up safely! Why are you doing this to me?! You know she has asthma, don’t you? She could die if she has an attack!”
Wayne frowned and asked, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Anna reached out to hit him again, but he grabbed her hand and asked, “Anna, are you crazy?”
Her eyes were bloodshot from crying. She screamed, “Yes, I’m insane! Tell me where Tammy is. Give my daughter back to me!”
“You have taken her away!”
“But you steal her from me again!” Anna exclaimed incoherently. She appeared agitated, but Wayne had no idea what was wrong. He was no longer bothered about being slapped but instead inquired anxiously, “What? Tammy has disappeared?”
Anna almost passed out from crying, She froze when she noticed his. attitude and asked, “You don’t know about this?”
“He hasn’t left the meetings since last night.” Gabe said to Anna in a low voice.
Anna slowly let go of Wayne’s collar at that point. She became even more flustered and muttered, “It can’t be! No one else will take her away from me except you!”
Annoyed and angry, Wayne complained, “It’s all your fault! Why can’t you keep an eye on your daughter? You used to fight with me for her, and now you blame me when she’s disappeared. What exactly are you doing?”
Anna clenched her teeth and tried hard not to cry. She said, “Tammy has gone missing! Why aren’t you worried about her? This is not the time to blame me!” Wayne was irritated. He turned to Gabe and said, “What exactly are you doing? Gett rid of her! Now! | don’t want to see her in my conference room.”
Wayne then left without looking back.
“Miss Gabriel,” Gabe said tentatively.
Anna wiped away her tears and stated, “Don’t bother. I’ll leave on my own. I came here to look for my daughter. There’s no point in wasting my time here now that she’s not here.”
After Anna walked out of the building, Jasper called her, “Anna, | checked the surveillance and | found that Tammy’s missing has nothing to do with Wayne,”
Anna was filled with remorse, but she still tried her best to make herself sound calm. Then she inquired, “So, where is she?”
“She went out by herself. The doorman let her out because he thought she was a friend of the kid who lived there. She got on a bus by herself. Don’t worry, we’ll follow the bus route and look for her.”
Jasper continued to reassure Anna. She had just been worried that Wayne had taken Tammy away again because things would only get worse if that happened.
Wayne was getting ready to leave his office, putting on his jacket. He had just stepped out of the office when he ran into Gabe, who had just walked in.
“Where are you going, Mr. Wright? The meeting is not yet over.”
Wayne glanced at him and said anxiously, “I’m going to find Tammy. Gather a few more people to help me with it.”
Gabe stopped him and asked, “What plan do you have? This city is large, and finding her’s as difficult as looking for a needle ina haystack.”
“So, what do you have in mind?” Wayne asked, frowning.
“What if | call Mr. Xavier? We can have him call the police and watch the surveillance cameras near Miss Gabriel’s house. Then we’ll know which direction she went, and we’ll be able to find her as long as she doesn’t leave the city.”
Then Gabe sighed and thought, Wayne, you’re usually sensible and decisive. But why do you act stupid every time when it’s things related to Anna?
Twenty minutes later, Karl called Wayne.
Wayne asked anxiously, “Have you found out anything?”
“Call Henry. Tammy’s inside the trunk of his car.”
