Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Makenna is Missing Amber raised an eyebrow, “You’re looking for Miss Gardner? But why come to us, isn’t she with you?”

Jared drooped down his eyes, “She’s not with me.”

“Not with you?” Cole gasped, then let out a wry smirk, “What, she’s missing?”

Jared said nothing.

Suddenly, Cole’s smile turned into a look of surprise, “Wait, for real?”

Amber looked to Jared, “Miss Gardner is missing, so you came to us to look for her. Do you think we secretly hid her somewhere, Mr. Farrell?”

“Makenna went to use the washroom and never returned. This was the place where she and you guys had a quarrel.” Jared looked at her directly.

Cole snorted, “We have some kind of quarrel with her, so we decided to kidnap her? What kind of logic is that? Everyone knows that we’re the first suspects if something were to happen to her. We’d be nuts to do something like that.”

Jared pursed his lips but said nothing.

Deep down, he knew the possibility of Makenna being here was slim.

But he still wanted to try his luck here.

“Mr. Farrell.” Amber pulled Cole by his clothes to the side, and she took a step toward Jared. “I did see Miss Gardner at the washroom, but I left before she did. I don’t know where she went after that, but maybe you can go check the security camera by the restroom.”

“I did, there’s not a trace of her.” Jared said as he clenched his fists.

Makenna didn’t return to the private room, so he tried calling but couldn’t reach her. He had the restaurant’s manager sent staff to help search, but there was not a trace of Makenna.

The strange thing was, all of the surveillance cameras in the restaurant were functioning just fine, but there’s not one that caught sight of Makenna.

Something was amiss.

Cole puckered his lips, “If none of the cameras saw her, then maybe she was purposefully evading them and decided to hole up somewhere to, you know, see how worried you’d be over her. Sounds like something that drama queen would do.”

Jared’s face turned gloomy.

Amber gave Cole a look to stop him from talking.

Calling Jared’s little princess a drama queen right to his face, wasn’t Cole just asking for it?

“Ah, sorry, Mr. Farrell, just his force of habit. Please don’t take it to the heart.” Amber gave a half–hearted apology, then looked at the watch on her wrist, “Well, it’s getting late, Cole and–l really gotta get going. Mr. Farrell, hope you find Ms. Gardner soon, bye!”

Done talking, she threw a quick smile at Jared, then grabbed Cole’s wrist and hurried off.

Looking at the joyful couple run off, Jared felt incredibly fretful inside.

For the six years they’ve been married, Amber always looked deadpan. The second they divorced, a ton of men sprung up around her, and she was being so cheerful. Such woman of easy virtue was nothing compared to Makenna.

Thinking of his grandmother’s criticisms against Makenna and how she warned him not to regret getting divorced from Amber, he found it laughable.

Regret?

No way!

He shook Amber out of his head, and swiped open his phone to make a call, “Still no signs of her?”

“None. I’ve searched the entire area, even nearby the restaurant. There’s no sign of Miss Gardner, Mr. Farrell. Shall we call the police?”

Ben stood at the restaurant’s entrance, scratching his head.

Jared gripped the phone tightly, his voice sounded low and depressed, “It’s no use. There’s no telling whether her disappearance is an accident or not, so the police won’t handle it. Not until at least 48 hours has passed.”

“What do we do now?” Ben glanced around and shivered in the cold.

Jared was silent for a while, then said, “Take some men and keep looking around the area, careful with any hint of Makenna.”

“Got it!”

Jared hung up and left the restaurant bonding for the Gardner residence be He quickly arrived.

Jared followed the servant into the house, where Trenton and his wife happened to be coming. down the stairs. Seeing him alone, Trenton asked, “Jared, where’s Makenna?”

Mrs. Gardner glanced behind Jared, “Is she still outside?”

“Mrs. Gardner, Makenna is missing!” Jared looked at the couple, then said with a heavy heart.

Mrs. Gardner froze, “What do you mean she’s missing?”

Jared lowered his head.

Trenton’s face turned pale, and he questioned Jared loudly, “Wasn’t she with you, how could she have gone missing?”

“While we were eating, she went to the restroom, but never came back. I sent men to search for her everywhere, but we still haven’t found her. I fear something may have happened to her.”

Jared replied, with an apologetic look on his face.

Mrs. Gardner rolled her eyes and fainted.

“Honey!” Trenton shouted, then hurried to catch his wife’s limp body.

Jared also rushed over to help.

The two of them carried her to the sofa.

Trenton kept pinching her to try to wake her up.

Finally, Mrs. Gardner coughed a few times and came back to consciousness, then she pounded at her chest as she cried out, “Trenton, our dear, sweet Makenna, she’s missing...”

“I know.” Trenton held her in his arms and gently patted her back, “Don’t worry, I’ll find her!”

The second he said this, Jared’s phone rang.

He took a look at the screen, then picked up the call, “Speak.”

“Mr. Farrell, we found some clues to Miss Gardner’s whereabouts.” Ben was on the other end, and he spoke excitedly, “I heard from a bystander that Miss Gardner was kidnapped by a masked man, and forced into a van.”

“A van?” Jared’s eyes narrowed like an angry lion, “Get footage from all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity, I want the path and plate of that van.”

“Got it.” Ben nodded.

As soon as Jared hung up, Trenton and his wife stared at him, “What is it? Is there news about Makenna?”

“She’s been kidnapped.” Jared said in a tone that hinted murderous intent.

The second she heard this, Mrs. Gardner let out a sharp cry, and nearly fainted again.

Trenton’s face was also incredibly ill, he gritted his teeth and hissed, “Who dares to touch my daughter!”

“We don’t know yet, but once we find them...”

Trenton cut Jared off, “Once we find them, I’ll handle it, and make them wish they’d never been.

Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel Chapter 66 Marry Ex's Uncle After Divorcement Chapter 828 born!”

Nobody could mess with his daughter!

If they dared to kidnap her, then they’d have better be ready to face his wrath!

Jared had no objections to Trenton’s plans. “Sir, let’s call the police first. Now that we’re at least certain Makenna’s disappearance was due to kidnapping, the police will take care of it. After all, we’re limited on manpower. With the police’s help, we should be able to find her even faster.”

It was a reasonable suggestion, and Trenton was about to nod in approval.

Suddenly, Mrs. Gardner broke out, shouting at the top of her lungs, “No, no police, don’t call the police. I can’t afford to lose Makenna again, I can’t!”

After she finished with her outburst, she was shaking all over, and there was a horrified look on her face. She did not look like the usual graceful lady at all.

Jared stared at Mrs. Gardner in appall, “Sir, Mrs. Gardner, she...”

Trenton hugged her tightly and coaxed her like a baby, “There, there, no police, no police.”

Mrs. Gardner heard his words, and stopped shaking so violently. But the fear on her face was still there.

Trenton stroked her hair gently, and let out a huge sigh, “She has a condition.”
