Chapter 1383 Finding Eve (2)
Inside the banquet hall.
Elmer gripped Mila's wrist tightly.
"Where's Eve? Tell me!"
Mila trembled. "I don't know, Elmer! How would I know where she went? You should keep a better eye on your wife. Why are you asking me?" She glanced at Elmer's face and was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected the man, rumored to be frail, to be so handsome under the mask. Mila softened her voice, "Mr. Roach, you're hurting me."
Elmer tightened his grip, making Mila scream in pain.
Her hand was nearly twisted off by this man.
At that moment, the butler approached. "Mr. Roach, we found two suspicious individuals."
Mila's face turned pale when she saw them. How did they get caught?
They were supposed to take the money and leave!
The two men, who had never experienced such a scene, immediately confessed everything.
"We were just following Miss Bailey's orders. She paid us to teach Mrs. Roach a lesson. We took the money and did what she asked. It's not our fault." The two men, driven by greed, had lingered at the high-end party after taking the money, not expecting to be caught so quickly. They confessed everything in an instant.
The guests gathered around were shocked to learn that Eve's disappearance was Mila's doing, and they began to gossip.
Kamille, too, was stunned that such a drama unfolded at her birthday party.
Seeing Mila's pleading eyes, Kamille felt helpless.
But the Cross family had business dealings with the Bailey family, so Kamille had to grit her teeth and say to Elmer, "Elmer, since Eve is fine, let Mila go. She knows she was wrong. Mila, apologize to Mr. Roach."
Mila apologized repeatedly, scared of Elmer's current demeanor, which was nothing like the frail image from the rumors.
"Where is she?" Elmer's voice was icy, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
Mila stammered, too afraid to speak.
The two men on the ground couldn't withstand the pressure and blurted out, "The cold storage, she's in the cold storage!"
Elmer's face turned pale.
Kamille's eyes widened. The cold storage?
They had sent many people to search, combing through the entire banquet hall, but no one had checked the cold storage.
This was bad!
The cold storage door slowly opened, releasing a chilling air, with layers of frost on the door.
A woman was leaning against the door, eyes closed, frozen in place.
Her face was covered in frost.
She looked as if she were merely sleeping.
Elmer's heart pounded. "Eve!"
He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Rachel, lifting her up immediately. But she was so cold, it terrified Elmer. He called her name countless times, but she didn't respond, her eyes remaining shut.
At that moment, Elmer was filled with fear.
He would rather she had run away.
That she had safely left this place.
Not like this, as if she would never wake up.
The butler hadn't expected Eve to be locked in the cold storage. This was a serious matter, and he immediately called for an ambulance.
Kamille clutched her chest, shocked that Eve had been locked in the cold storage. Seeing her condition, it didn't look good. If something happened, Kamille would be implicated. She feared this would sour relations with the Roach family. She silently blamed Mila for causing such trouble.
