Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 775

Holt swung open the car door and marched into the hotel, making a beeline for the banquet hall to find someone. After scouring the place and coming up empty, he luckily ran into Jason. With a quick inquiry, he learned Selena had left just ten minutes ago.

That was exactly when he tried calling her. Could something have happened?

Holt didn’t waste a second. He quickly called the bodyguards over, instructing them to search every nook and cranny. Since Selena hadn't left the hotel yet, she had to be somewhere on the premises. If anything happened to her, how would he face the big boss?

The bodyguards were equally concerned and searched diligently, practically turning the entire floor upside down, but found no trace of her. Holt started wondering if she might be in one of the guest rooms upstairs.

After explaining the situation to the hotel manager, he asked if the bodyguards could check room by room, but got a flat-out no. The guests here were wealthy and influential; without solid proof, such an intrusion was a no-go. Even mentioning Blaine’s name didn’t help; his sway in Newport wasn’t that strong.

They needed someone who could really make an impact...

Leaving the banquet hall, Everett got into his car, leaned back against the leather seat, and rubbed his temples. Alex spoke softly, "Mr. Everett, heading back to Lakeside Mansion?"

Everett glanced toward the hotel entrance, waiting for someone he hoped to see, but she never showed. He figured, given how much Selena wanted that necklace, she might come after him. Yet, disappointment hit him once more. She had made it clear last time that she didn’t want anything more to do with him. As a proud man, he wasn’t about to lower himself and chase after her.

"Let's head back."

Alex nodded, "Yes, sir. On our way."
