Chapter 234: Isabella Gets Kidnapped
“I’ll go upstairs and change, then I’ll come down,” Isabella said, heading upstairs.
Elisa waited downstairs. Normally, it only took Isabella about ten minutes to change. After waiting for ten minutes without seeing Isabella, Elisa couldn’t help but go upstairs to urge her.
“Isabella, are you ready?” Elisa shouted at the door of Isabella’s bedroom, but there was no response from inside.
Logically, Isabella couldn’t have remained silent upon hearing her.
Elisa immediately opened the door and, upon seeing the mess inside the bedroom, she couldn’t help but gasp.
Isabella was gone!
Elisa immediately shouted, “Tony, Harry, come up quickly, Isabella’s gone!”
At the same time, she investigated the surrounding environment, checked everything one by one, and finally arrived next to the bathroom. At this point, the window in the bathroom was open, and the cold wind blew in, cutting through like a knife, making one shiver.
Elisa stood by the window, staring closely at the marks on the window.
At this moment, Tony and Harry also ran up. They arrived at the house at the fastest speed, searched around, found no trace of Isabella, and then came to Elisa’s side, watching her staring seriously at the edge of the window.
They followed Elisa’s gaze.
“Did they come in through this window?”
“Probably.”
“I see the room is a bit messy, but there are no signs of a struggle. Has the mistress been frightened?”
“I guess the mistress was drugged and knocked out, because according to her personality, once she’s conscious, she would definitely fight back.”
Elisa knew Isabella too well. When teaching Isabella some self-defense techniques, she could tell that Isabella was not only diligent, but also intelligent and bold. Even if she knew her skills were not enough, she would still unexpectedly counterattack the enemy.
Logically, if someone really came to abduct Isabella, they certainly wouldn’t know that Isabella had learned self-defense techniques. Isabella might find an opportunity to fight back.
But now, apart from the mess in the room, there were no other clues.
This led Elisa to conclude that Isabella had definitely been drugged and taken away.
Damn it, this happened right under her nose! Isabella had just entered, and this happened.
Only ten minutes!
She thought she was very vigilant, but who knew that such a thing would happen in just ten minutes?NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
At this moment, Elisa was overwhelmed by a huge sense of guilt.
It was all her fault for not protecting Isabella. Clearly, she had specifically called Emanuele to come and protect Isabella, even sleeping with Isabella at night.
But who could have thought that in just ten minutes, something would happen to Isabella?
On the other hand, Tony had already called Emanuele to report the incident.
“Boss, the madam is missing.”
“What did you say?” Emanuele, who had been working, paused all his work upon hearing Tony’s words.
“The madam was supposed to go for a workout, she went upstairs to change into her yoga clothes, and in just ten minutes, when we went upstairs, the madam was already gone. We searched the apartment, but found no trace of the madam. She’s probably been abducted.”
Emanuele’s fingers clenched into fists, and he uncontrollably pounded the desk, leaving a shallow dent in the good quality desk.
Emanuele’s face turned red, and his eyes shot out a bloodthirsty light.
“Have you searched around the apartment?”
“We’ve sent people to search, but so far, there’s been no news.”
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
At this moment, Emanuele felt like a raging lion, constantly on the verge of going mad and biting someone.
James looked at Emanuele, frowned, and having been by Emanuele’s side for so many years, risking his life, he had never seen Emanuele like this.
At this point, his light-colored eyes had turned dark, filled with darkness, suppression, and bloody things.
“How the hell did this happen? Tony, isn’t your security good enough? How could they bypass your security and get into the room? Tell me, what the hell is going on?”
“Boss, we’re already looking through the surveillance, if there’s any news, we’ll inform you immediately.”
Tony made this call to Emanuele just to inform him of the situation.
Emanuele lit a cigarette, needing it to ease his anxious mood. However, his hand trembled as he took out the cigarette, and although he managed to put it in his mouth, he couldn’t seem to light it.
Next to him, Zak Harris, temporarily acting as Emanuele’s assistant in place of Phillip, took the lighter from Emanuele’s hand and lit the cigaretteThe smell of nicotine entered Emanuele’s lungs, somewhat calming his emotions. Yet, he still felt on the verge of collapse.
“Zak, go and retrieve the surveillance footage from around my apartment, see if there are any suspicious signs.”
Zak nodded and immediately took out his computer to start the process.
James comforted Emanuele, “Boss, nothing will happen, since the other party kidnapped the madam without killing her on the spot, it means they want to use her to threaten you. They know the madam has value and won’t easily kill her.”
“I know.” Emanuele could certainly guess as much, and because of this, he could be somewhat calmer.
“But I don’t want to be in a passive position, we must find them as soon as possible. I think it’s William.”
It couldn’t be wrong, it had to be him.
And now, they were also investigating William’s identity, and at this moment, he felt that William’s most suspicious identities were as a doctor and a teacher.
Such respectable identities, no wonder he couldn’t initially figure it out. Who could have guessed that this person’s surface identity would be so respectable?
To track down William throughout Chicago, it was easy to say the least. By filtering through age, gender, and physical features, they could quickly find him.
But at this crucial moment, William had kidnapped Isabella!
“Boss, here’s the recent surveillance footage, but everything seems normal, no signs of a suspect.” Zak retrieved the surveillance footage, and to everyone’s surprise, they watched as Tony and Harry, along with a few others, were in the living room, the corridor was normal, and the surroundings outside the apartment were also normal.
There was absolutely no evidence of tampering with the surveillance.
This meant that the other party knew them too well, having even figured out the surveillance.
Apart from their own people, it was likely someone familiar with them.
Emanuele trusted his own people, so it was very likely that it was one of Isabella’s friends…
Isabella’s friends were Evelyn and Pippo.
Wait a minute! Emanuele remembered Pippo’s appearance; he had always found him familiar but couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.
Now, he remembered.
