Chapter 1336 Missing for One Week
Heather was a bit taken aback. "They just let you go?"
"Yeah, I don't know what happened. They just suddenly released me. I didn't have time to think about it; I immediately found someone to help me call the cops."
Callum, holding a notebook, said while checking, "By water, it takes about five or six hours by boat. So, you must have been in Suncrest City from the start. The kidnappers' hideout is in Suncrest City, but Suncrest City is huge. We don't have precise information right now, so it's tough to pinpoint exactly where in Suncrest City. Rachel was taken three days ago, and in those three days, the search area has become enormous."
"We have to search, no matter how big the area is. We must find Rachel."
Natalie held Adrian's hand. "She'll be okay."
Back home, Natalie asked Heather to take Beatrix to rest and take good care of her.
The next morning, Adrian arranged for a private jet. By noon, he and Natalie landed in Vachilit.
In the Howard Mansion living room, almost everyone was there, even Jamie and Andrea.
Rachel from the Howard family had been missing for a week now. Claire had nearly cried her eyes out. Ruben was on the verge of being hospitalized, and his health was deteriorating.
At this moment, Ruben looked up and glanced at Natalie and Adrian. The living room was filled with a heavy silence.
Natalie and Adrian sat down on a sofa to the side. Melissa was supporting Claire, whose eyes were swollen and red. She looked at Adrian and hoarsely asked, "Any news? Is there any news about Rachel?"
When Adrian shook his head, Claire clutched her chest in pain and leaned on Melissa's shoulder.
"The kidnappers are a well-organized and sophisticated group, targeting young women who are alone. Both Rachel and Natalie's assistant Beatrix were victims, but Beatrix was suddenly released yesterday. We found Beatrix, but she didn't have any useful information. When they released her, she was wearing a mask, and her voice had been altered."
"According to Beatrix, these young women are priced openly, with the prettier ones fetching higher prices. So, Rachel might have already been taken away. This also indirectly suggests that it wasn't done by someone with a personal vendetta; they didn't know Rachel's identity."
Joe crushed the cup in his hand. "No matter what it takes, we must find Rachel!"
Ruben's eyes were sharp. "Daring to kidnap my granddaughter, they'll regret this decision!"
"Adrian, I don't care what methods you use, you must find Rachel!"
Adrian stood up. "Yes."
"Donte, you help Adrian. Put everything else aside; finding Rachel is the priority. You've been away from Vachilit for too long, but Rachel is your sister."
Donte knew Ruben was a sentimental person who despised family infighting.
Although Donte had been away from Vachilit for years and didn't have a deep bond with Rachel, she was still family.
Upon hearing the news of her disappearance, he immediately contacted a renowned international private investigator.
