The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2252

Penny grew calmer despite Roland's anger. Her life rested in her hands, and no matter how provocative the man was, she simply acted as if she had not heard him. As long as she could endure until the director brought someone to rescue her, she would be able to win the war without having to do anything.

...

Monica stopped crying when she ran into Lucas. She wiped away the tears on her face and followed Lucas and the others in search of Penny. Lucas became less impatient when he noticed her composure as he would have instructed her to stay put if she continued to bawl her eyes out.

After all, she would be useless if all she knew was to shed tears. If she genuinely wanted to save her good friend, she should prepare herself mentally and search carefully for traces with them, and it would be even better if they could find evidence that could definitively prove intent.

"Have you checked Tracy's room?" Lucas asked.

The director felt that he was in a tight spot. They had not considered Tracy a suspect before, so they could not have searched her lounge for evidence earlier.

Lucas did not make any further comment in response to their silence. It was as if he had already anticipated it.

Monica then said, "I noticed that Penny didn't seem herself after leaving Tracy's place. But Penny didn't enter the room at all. She just stood at the entrance. I remember now... You asked her to find Tracy!" The director struggled to control his emotions when he realized a life was at stake due to his oversight. "She could be using hiding in plain sight as a strategy. She might've hidden the evidence in the lounge!" The director then led them to do a search.

Lucas shook his head slightly. "The priority now is not to look for evidence but to locate your missing crew member. Finding her would at least prove that Tracy and the others have malicious intentions, and you'll be able to get evidence from that too. If she dies, you probably wouldn't even be able to get the slightest bit of proof."

Dead men could tell no tales, after all.

Monica covered her mouth in pain to stifle her sobs when she heard the word 'die'. They had no idea where to look and were running around like headless chickens.

"Do you remember what Penny said to you on the phone? That was her last call to you. It must've been very important. Think carefully; your best friend's fate rests in your hands."

Lucas was not trying to scare Monica. If a timid and cautious person like Penny could choose to make this call during the critical moment of escape, there seemed to be no reason for her to take such a risk unless there was evidence or if she had found a place to hide. Logically speaking, she could have waited until it was safe, or perhaps there should not have been a need to inform Monica at all.

"I... I don't remember anymore. I just remember hearing Penny breathing heavily, like she was being chased... The wind over there was howling. It sounded like it was outside."

The three grown men frowned, knowing that her information could prove crucial. The producer said, "That suggests that she might be in the mountains. But why would she want to go there?"

They were puzzled because there did not seem to be any evidence in the mountains. The other consideration is that perhaps her hiding place was somewhere in the mountains, of which there were a few nearby.

Monica then suggested, "Can't we just shout Penny's name while searching for her up there? It might be too late by the time we arrive!"

Lucas glanced at her coldly. "Don't shout her name unless you want her kidnapper to kill her." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
