The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel 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.

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."
