When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 866: Madam Has Disappeared

Adrian Lancaster didn’t inform Mr. Kerr; it was the first time he found the elevator’s speed too slow!

His hawk-like eyes stared at the gradually decreasing numbers. Finally, when the door opened, his long legs quickly stepped out, and Adrian dashed out of the lobby!

All the company employees who saw him were shocked, unsure of what happened, as President Lancaster was always composed, never seen so flustered.

He gripped the steering wheel of his Lamborghini tightly, flooring the gas pedal! His mind was filled with thoughts of his Faye!

He overtook car after car as if racing against time, reaching the dessert shop in record time.

After getting out of the car, he rushed straight into the shop!

Seeing President Lancaster rush in, Shannon and Tanya were taken aback; Faye Turner was really in trouble... she hadn’t returned. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But amidst his anxiety, Adrian noticed how apprehensive the two girls looked, standing straight, feeling a chill down their spines.

At this hour, there were no customers in the shop.

"What’s going on?" he asked in a low voice, trying to remain calm, afraid of scaring them.

But inside, he was in a state of extreme panic. "No rush, take your time," he reassured, trying hard to control himself.

The two girls in the shop felt the intense aura emanating from him; although they weren’t much at fault in this matter... their voices still trembled while answering.

Shannon spoke up, recounting the incident truthfully in the simplest words to him.

After listening, Adrian Lancaster didn’t blame anyone; he simply said, "Alright, thank you," then turned around and dashed out again, driving straight to the roast duck shop!

On the way, he noted the locations of surveillance cameras, paying attention to his surroundings, and retrieved footage from the roast duck shop.

The video from the computer showed nothing unusual. Two hours ago, Faye parked her scooter by the street, removed her helmet, hung it up, and walked into the shop.

She showed the code on her phone to the shopkeeper for verification, then easily picked up the roast duck without waiting in line for long.

Adrian saw her hang up the bag with the roast duck, put on her helmet, and then started on her return journey, yes, in the direction of home.

She safely disappeared from his sight.

Leaving the roast duck shop, Adrian Lancaster dialed the police station, requesting to access the surveillance along the route.

He then contacted his subordinate, "My wife is missing, between The Fairy Tale Nook and the roast duck shop, just a few hundred meters."

The person on the other end realized the severity of the situation and said, "I’ll send someone to investigate immediately!"

Listening to the busy tone from the other end, his eyes unfocused, he hung up the phone.

Adrian Lancaster got into the driver’s seat of the Lamborghini, collected himself for a few seconds, then called home, asking, "Has my wife returned?" He held onto a faint hope, though the possibility seemed slim.

"Your wife?" Mrs. Rhodes was startled, "Didn’t she leave with you this morning, saying she’d come back with you in the evening?"

"Listen," he instructed, "From now on, keep an eye on the home phone and don’t miss any incoming calls. My wife disappeared and there’s a very good chance... she’s been abducted."

Mrs. Rhodes felt a sudden tightness in her chest, her eyes widening, her face turning pale, almost scared to death! Kidnapping??

"No matter how much they ask for or what conditions they set, agree to them," Adrian added. "Take good care of Miss and don’t go out."

The home security was indeed robust, with eight bodyguards, all highly skilled and loyal confidantes of his.

"Yes, sir..." The maid was in a daze when she hung up, standing by the coffee table for a long time, feeling as if the blood in her body had frozen, unwilling to accept this reality.
