Chapter 67

Sonia raised her eyebrows. “If you’re looking for Miss Gray, why are you here? Isn’t she with you?”

“Exactly!” Charles agreed, crossing his

arms.

In response, Toby lowered his eyes. “She’s not with me.”

“What?” Charles paused for a moment before smiling gleefully. “Have you lost

her?”

Toby didn’t reply. No longer finding the

situation as funny as before, Charles

questioned in surprise as the smile slipped from his face, “Are you serious?”

Looking at Toby, Sonia continued, “Are you looking for her here because you think we hid her?”

Toby met her gaze. “She never returned

from the restroom, and the only people here that have bad blood with her are

you two.”

Annoyed, Charles barked a laugh. “You

think we hid her because we have

issues with her? How stupid do you

think we are? Everyone knows we’d be

the foremost suspects if something

happened to her.”

Silently, Toby pursed his lips. In truth, he, too, knew the chances of Tina being there weren’t high. Thus,

he had gone over only hoping he would find Tina by sheer luck.

“President Fuller.” Sonia grabbed the split hem of Charles’ suit jacket and pulled him to the side before

walking up to Toby. “I’ll admit I bumped into her in the restroom, but I left before her

and have no idea where she went. You

can check the video surveillance of the

areas close to the restroom.”

“I did. There’s no trace of her,” he said,

clenching his fists. After Tina failed to

return to their private room, he called

her, but she didn’t pick up. Then, he had

the manager send the restaurant staff

in search of her. Even after checking the entire place, they could not find her.

The strange thing was that the

restaurant’s video surveillance system

was operating normally but had not captured any trace of her. Something

seemed amiss.

Back in the present, Charles curled his

lips. “If there were no signs of her in

the video surveillance footage, that only proves she avoided being

captured and is now in hiding. Maybe

she’s doing it on purpose and making you anxious because she wants to see what position she holds in

your heart. That sounds like something the drama

queen would do.”

Instantly, Toby’s face darkened, and the temperature in the room dropped.

Meanwhile, Sonia gave Charles a warning glance and indicated to him to be silent. Wasn’t he seeking

death to call the love of Toby’s life a drama

queen to his face?

“My apologies, President Fuller. Charles here tends to speak without

thinking. Please don’t take it to heart,”

she apologized somewhat insincerely

before looking down at the watch on her wrist. “It’s getting late. It’s time for me and Charles to leave.

Take your

time in finding Miss Gray. We hope you

Chiper

find her soon. Goodbye!” Then, with a courteous smile at Toby, she took

Charles’ arm and walked away with him.

As Toby watched them walk away,

joking and squabbling, his gaze

darkened, and he felt immensely irritated. For six years, she had acted numb toward him, but now that

they

were divorced, she instantly

surrounded herself with men, offering

them warm and brilliant smiles. How

could such a fickle woman compare to

Tina?

When he recalled his grandmother’s

dislike of Tina and her warning him not

Chat

to regret divorcing Sonia, he couldn’t help thinking that it was ridiculous.

Regret? How could that be possible?

Kicking Sonia out of his mind, he pulled out his cell phone with a cold

expression on his face and made a call. “Have you found her yet?”

“No. My men and I have searched the

areas near the restaurant, but we couldn’t find any traces of her.” Standing at the door of the restaurant,

Tom suggested while scratching his head, “Maybe we should file a police report, President Fuller.”

Tightening his grip around his cell phone, Toby responded in a low,

restrained voice, “It’s pointless. Since

we don’t know if her disappearance

was an accident, the police are unlikely to take action immediately. They will

only take action after 48 hours.”

“So, what should we do now?” Tom looked around the place and shivered in the cold.

After thinking for a moment, Toby instructed, “Continue asking around to

see if anyone saw her.”

“Yes, sir!” Tom nodded his head.

After putting his cell phone away, Toby left the restaurant and drove in the direction of Gray Residence.

Soon, he reached his destination. As

he followed the butler inside, Julia and Titus both happened to be coming down the stairs. When Titus

saw that

Toby was alone, he asked in confusion,

“Where’s Tina?”

At the same time, Julia looked behind

Toby. “Is she still outside?”

After glancing at her, Toby answered in a low voice, “She’s missing!”

Upon hearing that, Julia froze. “Tina’s

missing?”

In response, he nodded. As his face sank, Titus questioned loudly, “Wasn’t she with you? How could she

go missing?”

“She went to the restroom while we

were eating and never returned. I have

men looking all over the place for her, but she hasn’t yet been found. I fear that something has happened

to her.” Toby answered apologetically.

With a roll of her eyes, Julia passed

out.

“Julia!” Titus shouted, quickly catching hold of her falling body.

Hurriedly, Toby went forward to help.

Together, they carried her to the couch.

After they laid her down, Titus kept patting her cheek. Finally, she coughed twice and woke up,

hammering her chest as she cried, “My Tina! Honey, our Tina has gone missing.”

“I know.” He pulled her into his arms, patting her on the back as his heart ached for her. “Don’t worry, I’ll

find her and bring her home!”

As soon as he said that, Toby’s phone rang. Toby pulled out his phone and checked the caller ID before

answering the call. “Hello?”

“We found a lead, President Fuller.” Tom said excitedly. “A passerby saw a masked man carrying her into

a van.”

“A van?” Toby’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Get the surveillance footage of the surrounding roads at

once. Find the path the van took.”

“Understood.” Tom nodded.

When Toby hung up the phone, he realized that Julia and Titus both were staring at him. “Is there news

about Tina?” Titus asked.

Putting down his phone, he answered

murderously, “Tina has been

kidnapped.”

When Julia heard that, she began to

sob louder and almost passed out once more. At the same time, Titus’

expression was also extremely ghastly. He clenched his jaw so hard that his cheeks bulged. “Who dared

kidnap my daughter?”

“It’s unclear who it is right now, but

when the person is apprehended-”

Coldly, Titus interrupted, “When you find the person, please bring him to

1. me. I’m going to make him wish he

was dead!”

He would let that person know Titus

Gray’s daughter wasn’t a good target! Now that the person had kidnapped

Tina, he would teach them a proper

lesson! Having no objection to that, Toby

proposed, “We should file a police report. Since we know someone

deliberately set out to harm her, the police can take action at once. After all, we’re a limited number of

people. We will be able to find her more quickly with the police’s help.”

Finding it reasonable, Titus nodded in

agreement

Hastily, Julia stopped them, shouting sharply, “No! You can’t go to the police! You can’t tell them about

the

disappearance of Tina! I don’t want to lose her!”

As if provoked, she started trembling

after saying that, terror written all over

her face. She looked nowhere near as

refined as she usually was.

Shocked, Toby stared at her. “Is Julia

okay, Titus?”

Titus hugged Julia even more tightly and coaxed her like she was a child, saying, “Alright, we won’t go to

the

police.”

At that, the trembles in her body lessened, but she still looked terrified.

Stroking her hair, Titus sighed, “Julia’s

sick.”
