Chapter 1570
At this late hour, what kind of person would possess the courage to venture into those menacing, shadow-filled woods?
“Do you happen to have a photograph of this person?” Johnson inquired, growing more concerned.
“Yes.” Ben’s fingers moved with practiced urgency as he found the photo stored on his phone and showed it to Johnson and Catherine. “Here, please examine this carefully. This is the woman I’ve been describing.”
Both Johnson and Catherine leaned forward with intense curiosity to look at the phone.
The moment they laid eyes upon the woman’s face, their eyebrows shot upward in perfect synchronization.
The person…
“Isn’t this Faye? What possible reason could she have for wandering out in those treacherous woods at such a late hour? Wasn’t she supposed to be sleeping in her hotel room?” Catherine’s voice carried a mixture of bewilderment and mounting worry.
Johnson appeared equally baffled by this unexpected development, clearly struggling to comprehend what Faye was trying to do.
“Mr. Hoffman, would it be possible for you to establish contact with her?” Ben asked.
Johnson shook his head with evident frustration. “I don’t have her phone number. I’ll need to seek assistance from Lucas for that information.”
Catherine immediately said, “Let’s go see Lucas now. It’s far too dangerous for Faye to be wandering out there completely alone at this hour. What if something happens to her?”
“All right, let’s go.” Johnson required no further discussion and turned to head directly toward Lucas and Belinda’s hotel room.
Ben followed them.
After pressing the doorbell repeatedly for what felt like an eternity, Lucas finally appeared to answer the door.
Lucas stood before them in a bathrobe, his brows drawn together in deep furrows, his expression radiating unmistakable displeasure.
Anyone would naturally feel irritated after being rudely awakened from peaceful slumber in the dead of night.
Upon seeing Johnson and the others gathered anxiously at his threshold, Lucas asked in a voice carrying traces of sleepiness, “What urgent matter brings you here at this hour?”
“Lucas, Ben here serves as the area manager from Mount Tuky, and he came rushing over with disturbing news that security personnel witnessed Faye entering the woods behind the mountain completely unaccompanied. The hour grows late, and those woods remain dark and filled with danger. We have absolutely no idea what she is doing there. I don’t have her phone number. Could you possibly reach out to her and tell her to come back soon?” Johnson explained.
After absorbing Johnson’s detailed explanation, Lucas frowned.
“Okay,” he said before turning back into the room.
Johnson and the others waited outside the door.
Belinda had awakened as well, having caught Johnson’s urgent words in her drowsy state.
