Three Years in Prison for His Lover's Crime novel Chapter 6

Maybe it was the feelings from his youth, or the companionship of childhood.

In his heart, only Sally could be his family’s wife.

Others might call Sally a murderer, a pervert, a madwoman.

But he knew Sally was pure and innocent.

She had always been that innocent girl.

She needed his protection.

And she needed his love.

Leaving the hospital, he called his assistant again.

"Any news? Where did Sally go?"

The tension in his voice was so strong, even he didn’t realize the tremor.

The assistant hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Mr. Simon, I don’t recognize those people. I asked at the police station, and the people we were in contact with weren’t with them. As for Sally’s whereabouts… I haven’t found her yet."

The words ignited Simon's anger completely.

His hand clenched around the phone, veins bulging.

His voice was hoarse as he yelled:

"Not with them? What do you mean, not with them? You were the one who contacted them, and now you tell me you don't know who took Sally? What the hell are you doing?"

"How long has she been missing?"

The assistant's voice got quieter.

"Eight hours..."

Simon slammed his phone down.

The screen flashed with trending news about Sally.

The internet’s judgment of her was unanimous.

"Beast, ingrate, insane."

The cruel words stabbed at his heart.

He picked up his phone again, his voice freezing cold.

"What's going on with the news online? Didn't I tell you to remove it? Can't you handle such a small thing?"

"Mr. Simon, it's Miss Anna... She said that if the public opinion doesn't have the desired effect, we should stay another couple of days. I’ll arrange for it to be removed now."

Simon trembled with anger, veins popping at his temples.

"Who's the boss here, me or her? The Simon’s family doesn’t take orders from her!"

"Eight hours, by the time you find her, she’ll be dead cold! The online public opinion is overwhelming, if something happens to Sally because of this, will you take responsibility?"
