Chapter 884:
The authorities responded swiftly, assuring her they’d review the footage and launch an investigation immediately. As soon as the call ended, Yelena told Brody, “We have to get back to the bar right away. If Tessa left any trace behind, we have to find it p>
While at the bar, they wasted no time explaining the situation to the manager.
He was cooperative, agreeing to assist the police, and led them to the surveillance room. The footage showed Tessa appearing multiple times until, suddenly, after her final appearance, she vanished without a single trace.
In her final moments on-screen, she was drunk, crying, and saying things like missing her father. But more than that, she kept glancing toward the entrance, her eyes filled with terror.
A sudden gut feeling struck Yelena. Someone had to have been at the entrance.
“Brody, check the entrance footage,” Yelena ordered.
But the entrance camera faced the parking lot across the street, leaving the doorway just outside its frame.
Whoever had been there remained a mystery.
Yelena’s gaze locked onto the parking lot footage, her mind racing. Her eyes scanned the parked cars, desperate for a clue.
“Find the owners of those cars. If any had dash cams, they might have recorded something,” Yelena pressed urgently.
Brody’s expression lit up with admiration. “Yelena, you’re a genius.” They quickly tracked down one of the car owners. As soon as he learned his dash camera might hold evidence in a missing person case, he agreed to help without hesitation.
Minutes later, they had the footage. The footage revealed that someone was standing at the entrance.
Yelena’s expression darkened, her voice unwavering. “It’s Lowe.” No wonder Tessa had been so terrified when she glanced at the entrance. It was because of this man who had brought her nightmares.
Wasting no time, Yelena ordered a trace of Lowe’s whereabouts. The results came in fast, and he was found to have returned home.
Something about this didn’t sit right with Yelena, as the unease gnawed at her, refusing to let go. Yelena instructed, “Brody, keep looking for Tessa. I’m going to Lowe’s place p>
When Yelena arrived at Lowe’s residence, she noted that although it wasn’t nestled in the heart of Eighfast’s upscale district, it was still an impressive villa.
With a life as comfortable as his, what could possibly compel Lowe to go after Tessa repeatedly?
Anger flared within Yelena as she jabbed Lowe’s doorbell repeatedly. When the maid answered, she froze, startled by the sheer intensity in Yelena’s eyes.
“M-Miss, what… what do you need?” she stammered.
Yelena shot her a cold, piercing glare. “Go get Lowe, or I won’t be so civilized p>
The maid’s face flickered with a brief mix of emotions at the mention of Lowe’s name, but she quickly composed herself and retreated inside. Yelena checked her watch with growing impatience, ready to take matters into her own hands and force her way inside if Lowe didn’t appear soon.
Just then, the door creaked open, and Lily stepped out, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Yelena. “You… What are you doing here p>
Yelena’s voice was razor-sharp. “Ask your little brother. Where is he? And where the hell is Tessa p>
Lily’s expression darkened, her posture stiffening. “Don’t you dare pin this on my brother. Lowe has nothing to do with Tessa p>
