Chapter 283 How About Taking the Opportunity to Get Rid of Her
Although passers-by were in a hurry, they still greeted Raymond respectfully when they saw him.
Raymond walked straight into the main hall. Louis had been calling Raymond repeatedly, but Raymond hadn't answered. Now that Raymond had shown up, Louis didn't seem anxious anymore.
Instead, after giving some instructions to the people in front of him, he called out, "Uncle Raymond."
He also didn't rush to ask about the company's personnel changes.
"Uncle Raymond, can I borrow some of your men? My mom has gone missing. I've been looking for her for more than a day without any news."
Raymond frowned slightly. Francesca was missing?
It was necessary to be vigilant if she had gone missing.
If something like a kidnapping for ransom happened, the consequences could be severe.
Raymond immediately instructed Charles beside him, "Get some people on this immediately. Coordinate with Louis and find her as quickly as possible. Find her as soon as possible. Ensure her safety!"
Regardless of what Francesca has done, she must be found now. After all, they are family, and Francesca has been loyal to Calum for so many years. She was dadicated a lot to the Carnegie Family.
After Charles received the instruction, he immediately went to handle the matter.
Only then did Raymond ask, "What's going on? Why did she suddenly go missing?"
Louis seemed a bit unsure of how to start. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, "Ever since Mrs. Parker's funeral, her mood has been a bit off. At the time, I thought she might be feeling some guilt and remorse.
In the following days, her whereabouts became mysterious. I was overwhelmed with company matters, including the personnel you reassigned, so I didn't pay attention to her mood.
It wasn't until she didn't come back for two days that I realized something was wrong. I tried all sorts of methods to reach her but to no avail. I asked her friends, but no one knew where she went. Then I started looking for her."
Louis only regretted not discovering it earlier. What if something bad happened?
Raymond said, "Given Francesca's personality, she couldn't stay calm with me reassigning so many of your people. This is indeed unusual!"
Louis listened to Raymond's words, hesitating for a long time, but finally asked, "Uncle Raymond, can you ask Paige?"
Louis said, "I know her. She might not care about other things, but anything related to Mrs. Parker, Paige won't let it go."
Raymond immediately frowned, "Are you suspecting that she might be the one targeting Francesca?"
Louis said, "I'm just wondering if it's a possibility."
Raymond's expression turned serious, and his tone became much heavier, "You're underestimating her. Do you think she'd use this method? Let me tell you, if she wanted to deal with Francesca, she'd do it right in front of you, not behind your back!"
If she wanted revenge, she'd do it openly!
Louis immediately shut up. Although he had considered this possibility countless times, Raymond's reminder was spot on. Given Paige's personality, she wouldn't take action secretly.
Louis asked, "Where could she have gone? Or is there someone targeting her?"
Raymond said, "Find her, and you'll know."
Louis hadn't rested all night and had already sent people to search everywhere they could.
"She never disappears without a word, Uncle Raymond. Could something really have happened to her?"
Raymond said, "No."
Raymond had calmed down by now. When he first heard the news, he was worried. He didn't want anything to happen to Francesca either.
But on second thought, Francesca had a group of people around her whose backgrounds even Raymond couldn't trace. Was Francesca really as simple as she appeared on the surface?
If she was missing, her life shouldn't be in danger. Raymond was quite certain of this.
Louis said, "I hope so. Francesca must not have anything happen to her."
Now, Louis could somewhat understand Paige's feelings.
Since Raymond's people had joined the search, Paige quickly heard the news of Francesca's disappearance. When Paige walked out of a meeting room in the afternoon, Pearl told her.
Paige was walking normally, but she immediately stopped when she heard the news. "Francesca is missing?"
Paige was puzzled. How could Francesca disappear at this time? Did she disappear voluntarily or not?
Paige even suspected that Francesca might be hiding.
Pearl said, "That's what they're saying. I don't know the details, but they haven't found her yet. She truly picked a good time to disappear." Paige said this with a cold smile.
But even if Francesca was missing, Paige didn't plan to let this matter go easily. When she went to the border to pick up Xena, she definitely brought Francesca along.
Xena said Francesca wanted to target Luna. Given this, taking Francesca alone to confront Xena was indeed necessary. She had no other leads on Elijah.
Paige said, "Call Julian over."
Pearl nodded and went to call Julian. At that time, in Paige's office, Julian said, "Since she's missing, is it necessary to find her? If it weren't for her, would Luna have been in trouble?"
Paige frowned, "You've been talking a lot lately!"
Julian said, "I understand. I'll send someone to find her right away."
Julian had the biggest grudge against Francesca. Last time, Francesca's people had drugged his subordinates, which was a stain on his career!
His people were carefully selected, yet they were easily taken down. The key was that Paige didn't allow him to retaliate afterward. Could Julian not have a grudge against Francesca?
Seeing Julian's reluctant expression, Paige immediately added, "Ensure her safety."
Julian's face wrinkled, "Why not take this opportunity to deal with her? I promise not to leave any traces."
Paige said, "Don't be so ruthless. Besides, she's mine. No one is allowed to touch her!"
Paige's instructions were effective. Although Julian seemed a bit unwilling, he still went to handle the matter obediently.
Since Paige said the person was hers, it was clear that she would take action herself to deal with Francesca.
Julian naturally couldn't overstep his bounds!
