Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1271. Received video
Chapter 1271: 1271. Received video
Adam Jones personally dropped her off at the company before he headed to Jones Corp.
The disappearance of Jenna Clark was something they were searching for privately, without alarming anyone, so outsiders were unaware of the incident.
Elly Campbell hadn’t been to the company for a few days, and everyone thought she was just tied up by family matters with the young master and couldn’t get away.
Though the Jones Family had a crowd of servants, a ten-month-old child still often relies on their mother.
Everyone didn’t think much about it, so when Elly Campbell came to work, they greeted her as usual.
By noon, Elly Campbell had her secretary pack some meals from the company cafeteria and bring them back to her office.
"CEO Campbell, your meal is here."
"Just leave it there."
Elly Campbell looked up from the papers, responded, and then dove back into the documents.
When she finally finished the last document, she stood up and walked over to sit at the dining table in her office.
She had just taken a couple of bites with her chopsticks when the phone beside her lit up.
It was a video multimedia message sent through Sky Number.
The video started playing automatically.
When she saw the content of the video, the bowl and chopsticks in her hand dropped to the ground with a clatter.
In the video, Jenna Clark was lying on the ground, barely alive, blood on the corner of her mouth and all over her clothes.
Such a visual shock directly assaulted Elly Campbell’s nerves, and the image of Helen Melendy being stabbed kept flashing in her mind.
The multimedia message also contained a text—
If you want to find Jenna Clark, follow my instructions. Do not attempt to contact anyone; otherwise, prepare to retrieve Jenna Clark’s corpse.
Elly Campbell’s hand holding the phone was shaking.
The sender ID was Sky Number, and even if she tried to call back, it would be futile.
She could only wait for the other party to send a message.
She took a sip of the hot water beside her, trying to calm herself down.
Since the party wanted her to follow their instructions, they would surely send more.
Indeed, the next second, a text message came, similar to road directions.
Without a moment to spare, Elly Campbell went to her desk, jotted something down on paper, and hastily left.
"CEO Campbell, are you heading out?"
"Yes, I have an urgent matter to attend to. If President Jones comes looking for me, have him wait by my office desk."
The secretary didn’t understand why Elly Campbell mentioned Adam Jones would come looking for her, nor why she specifically emphasized waiting by the office desk.
Typically, wouldn’t it be to wait in the office?
Why did it have to be by the office desk?
The secretary found Elly Campbell’s remark odd but didn’t think too much about it and just agreed.
However, Elly Campbell didn’t return to the company that day.
When Adam Jones came to Campbell Corp to pick up Elly Campbell, the secretary told him that she hadn’t come back since she left during lunchtime. His heart suddenly sank.
"Did she say where she went?"
"No, CEO Campbell just said she had something to do and had to leave. From what I saw, it looked like she had an emergency."
Watching Adam Jones’s expression grow darker, the secretary couldn’t help but shiver inside.
"Why didn’t you ask where she was going when she left? You might as well not work as a secretary anymore!"
Adam’s heartbeat was fast at this moment. Elly Campbell’s sudden departure instinctively linked in his mind to the disappearance of Jenna Clark, and he became immediately anxious and restless.
The secretary felt incredibly aggrieved by Adam Jones’s outburst.
After all, as the CEO, did she need to report her whereabouts to her secretary?
