Soon, Patricia arrived at the location she had been forewarned about, yet Emma
was nowhere to be seen.
"Hasn't she arrived yet?" Patricia frowned and inquired.
"This...
we find it strange too.
We've already sent someone to check.
" Just as Seth finished speaking, his phone rang.
After he answered the call, his expression turned grave.
"What?!" Patricia immediately took the phone away from him and pressed for
details.
"What happened?” "We've been deceived.
Doretta changed the meeting location at the last minute, and now both Emma
and Doretta have vanished," the person on the line lamented.
"Go check." Patricia uttered two words coldly and then hung up the phone.
“What should we do now?" Seth was distressed that they had just lost track of
them.
Patricia felt a pang of panic but forced herself to remain calm; this was not the
time to lose her composure.
Fifteen minutes later, Patricia returned to Riddle Corporation.
After hurrying into Nicole's office, she quickly relayed the situation.
Nicole's expression shifted slightly, but she soon regained her composure,
saying, "They're probably trying to use Emma to threaten Ellar.
Emma won't be in danger for now." "Why would Mrs.
Riddle be so careless? Why did she avoid our security personnel?" Patricia
lamented.
She couldn't understand why Emma had gone to meet Doretta alone despite
knowing the risks.
"It's likely that Doretta said something, and Emma, worried about Doretta, dared
not bring anyone with her," Nicole speculated.
Patricia was somewhat anxious.
"I wonder when there will be news on Everett." "Go and check on Ellar.
You'll definitely get some news when you stay with him," Nicole instructed
Patricia.
"Yes, Ms.
Riddle." Patricia acknowledged and left.
Nicole bit her lip slightly, worried about Emma, but knowing that calmness was
essential at this moment.
She believed that since Everett had captured Emma, he wouldn't harm her
before achieving his goal, and that was their window of opportunity.
They needed to buy time, hoping to rescue Emma safely.
To accomplish this, Ellar's cooperation might be crucial.
After quickly organizing her thoughts, Nicole called Ellar and explained the
situation clearly, instructing him on the next steps.
“Alright, got it, Nicole," Ellar replied, his voice sounding serious.
"You need to stay calm now.
We'll work together to rescue Emma,” Nicole advised gently.

"Okay." Ellar paused, then asked,
"Patricia went out earlier because of
this, didn't she?" He could easily
deduce that the call Patricia received
must have been about this situation;
she went alone not wanting him to
worry, but unfortunately, her attempt
was still unsuccessful. Visit

"I've asked Patricia to return.
Coordinate well with her," Nicole responded.
"Okay." After affirming, Ellar ended the call.

Hearing that Ellar was relatively
composed, Nicole felt somewhat
relieved, thinking that as long as Ellar
remained calm, they could
temporarily proceed with the planned
actions, feeling there was still some
hope. Visit popsnovel.com to read

After a while, Patricia returned to BayCorp.
Seeing Ellar's expression, Patricia understood immediately and said softly, "You
already know." "Nicole called me," Ellar replied.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Doretta to
change the meeting place at the last
minute, and I didn't get to see your
mother." And now, they didn't even
know Emma's whereabouts. Visit
