Chapter 141 She's Gone!
Written on the pristine white paper were rough, angry words.
"Get lost! I'm not going to play along with you anymore! Figure it out on your own! You brute! Bastard! Shameless!"
The words were written forcefully, even tearing through the paper, revealing the sender's temperament and resentment.
A grimace formed on Giorgio's lips.
That damn woman, how dare she quit and curse at him! Running away from home!
He took out his phone and dialed Little Tony's number.
"Immediately locate Anna's position and send it to me as soon as possible."
"Huh? Miss Stefanelli isn't at home?" Little Tony, who was with his children when he received the call, looked puzzled.
On the other end of the phone, it was noisy, filled with the laughter of children.
Only then did Giorgio remember the two children. If they found out about Anna's disappearance, they would definitely get angry and worry.
Lowering his voice, he said coldly, "Yes, she got angry, left a letter, and ran away from home. Send someone to find her right away, without letting the children know."
Little Tony was shocked.
Running away from home? That's too terrifying!
Without asking any more questions, he quickly followed orders and arranged for someone to take care of the two children before starting the search.
Meanwhile, Giorgio also grabbed his suit jacket and went out, driving around to look for her.
Anna didn't have any acquaintances in Crownhaven, nor did she have a place to stay besides the villa, so she should be nearby or staying at a hotel. It should be easy to find her.
However, he didn't expect that he wouldn't see her for a whole hour.
Then, Little Tony called again.
"Sorry, Mr. Vittorio, Miss Stefanelli's two cell phones are still in the villa, so we couldn't track her location and haven't found her. Furthermore, we checked the surveillance outside the villa and the surrounding buildings, but we didn't see her. I suspect Miss Stefanelli might be aware of the surveillance and purposely avoided it or disguised herself."
Giorgio's relaxed mood instantly turned tense.
Because he realized that she was probably not throwing a tantrum but truly trying to escape!
Once she intentionally hid and didn't have any electronic devices on her, it would be difficult to find her!
Little Tony asked, "Mr. Vittorio, what happened? Miss Stefanelli cares so much about Penny. How could she leave her daughter and go away? Did someone bully her?"
His concern made Giorgio's gaze darken.
Sadness? Bullying?
In his mind, images involuntarily surfaced of her tear-stained, pitiful appearance from last night. Was she really that heartbroken because she was being bullied?
He also recalled his own actions at that time, how he wasn't attentive to his emotions and strength when he let go of her lips…
Lips that were swollen and red.
Damn it!
Was he actually self-reflecting?
Clearly, that woman should be the one reflecting!
Giorgio regained his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said, "Investigate all hotels, restaurants and expense records, and send our own people to search along the streets. Dig through everything if necessary, but we must find her!"
"Yes, Mr. Vittorio."
Little Tony received the order again and dispatched additional personnel to search.
Giorgio was feeling restless. He looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window. Rubbing his forehead, he started the car and headed to the company.
He had an important meeting and dinner tonight, both of which were already scheduled and should not be canceled.
Otherwise, it would raise suspicion.
After finishing everything, it was already three in the afternoon.
Giorgio sat at his desk, took out his phone, and found that there were no messages from Little Tony on the screen.
This meant that Anna had not been found yet.
In two more hours, the children would also be coming home.
He was getting a headache and dialed Enrico and Tom's numbers.
The three of them gathered together.
"There's something I need your help with," Giorgio said with a serious expression.
Tom, seemingly unable to believe it, spoke in disbelief, "Giorgio, from elementary school until now, I've never heard you ask for help. What serious matter could have happened? I remember the Vittorio Group doesn't have any problems, right?"
Enrico also looked puzzled. "Is it April Fools' Day today? Is there something you can't handle?"
Giorgio felt irritated when this was brought up.
Indeed, in the past thirty years, he had been capable of handling everything and never needed to ask others.
This was the first time.
After a full two minutes, he finally opened his lips and coldly recounted what had happened last night.
After listening, Tom and Enrico were completely stunned.
It took them a while to react.
"Anna and Giuseppe having an affair?"
"You used force against a woman? Are you sure it was you?"
Giorgio glared at them and said, displeased, "Is this what we should be concerned about now? How do I explain it to the two children in the evening? And tomorrow is also Katherine's father's birthday banquet, she must be present."
Hence, finding Anna now was crucial.
Enrico put away his surprise and furrowed his brow. "Have you checked the surveillance cameras at intersections and the hotel stations?"
Giorgio spoke in a deep voice, "Hmm, I haven't."
Enrico replied, "Doesn't she still have a daughter in your custody? Take her daughter to the police station, broadcast a search notice, and, most likely, she will show up within two hours."
This plan was sharp, straightforward, and efficient.
Indeed, Enrico had a reputation for being cunning.
However, Giorgio did not want to use this method.
When he thought of Penny's delicate face, he couldn't help but hope that she would not be harmed in any way.
With a furrowed brow and a solemn face, he remained silent.
Tom, who was beside him, had a thought and speculated, "Anna doesn't have any acquaintances in Crownhaven, but she had an affair with Giuseppe. Would she go look for Giuseppe?"
As the words fell, the air grew heavy in an instant!
Giorgio's sharp gaze pierced through him.
He shrunk his neck and explained anxiously, "I feel that when a woman is emotionally and physically harmed at such times, what she needs is the embrace of a man. She might truly have gone to find Giuseppe."
His voice grew softer as he continued.
Giorgio's breath became increasingly cold.
Because he himself also believed that this was highly possible.
Otherwise, how could she, someone ordinary and without any capability, escape the surveillance and his investigation?
Unexplainably, the thought of her leaning on Giuseppe's shoulders and crying, pouring her heart out to him, made him agitated. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Little Tony's number.
"Investigate Giuseppe's whereabouts from last night until today, especially pay attention to whether Anna had any contact with him."
Little Tony was taken aback.
What? Is there a connection between Anna's disappearance and Giuseppe?
Sensing the dangerous aura from the man, he didn't dare to ask further and could only follow the orders.
After hanging up the phone, Giorgio's gaze fell on Tom.
"Charlie and Penny can't go home now. Go to be with them and if I don't notify you, find a reason to keep them outside overnight."
Was he being asked to be a babysitter?
Little Tony silently nodded, accepting the reality.
Giorgio didn't stay any longer, he stood up with his tall figure and left with large strides.
Outside, the sky suddenly darkened, as if a storm was approaching.
Just like his face, which now resembled a brewing storm, it was extremely terrifying.
Anna, where could she hide?
If she really dared to go find Giuseppe…
Right at that moment, suddenly…
