Chapter 329: Blessing in Disguise (19)

Translator: 549690339

Maya Mitchell sat in her car, deep in thought for a long time. Finally, she realized that if Ruby Gregory managed to escape by chance, her first mistake was that shee didn’t bother to search for her at all.

The second mistake was that if she did look for Ruby and found her in an accident, what she should have done was to call the police and find someone to rescue Ruby, instead of ignoring her and being indifferent.

So, about twenty minutes after Ruby was kidnapped, Maya made a symbolic gesture of calling Ruby’s phone more than a dozen times.

While making the calls, she walked around the mall alone, looking left and right as if she was searching for someone. She knew that Steve Burton might not access the mall’s surveillance footage, but she still acted cautiously just in case.

Of course, she also went back to the restroom and changed into an outfit identical to Ruby’s.

Maya certainly didn’t want Ruby to be rescued. Olivia Foster’s unexpected arrival provided her with a perfect opportunity to use someone else to do her dirty work. How could she possibly let it slip through her fingers?

So she waited until about an hour after Ruby was kidnapped before she panicked and ran to the mall’s help desk to start the search for a missing person.

Of course, she knew that Ruby couldn’t hear any announcements, so she stayed at the broadcasting station for about half an hour, estimating that an hour and a half had passed. If those two people took action, perhaps Ruby would already be in trouble by now. Moreover, even if they just started, it might already be too late for Ruby by the time she informed Steve and he arrived to help.

Only then did Maya take out her phone and call Steve.

The number she saved was Steve Burton’s work number, which was generally unanswered on weekends when he was relaxing.

Maya then went to the company’s WhatsApp group to ask for Steve’s whereabouts, and Howard Coleman happened to mention that they were all at the Capital Club playing cards, where Steve ruthlessly defeated them all.

Upon seeing this message, Maya immediately drove to the Ciawell Club.

She casually parked her car on the roadside, then hurriedly ran towards the Ciawell Club.

Halfway there, Maya seemed to remember something. She reached out to mess up her hair, then took off her high heels and continued to run. After pausing for a moment, she noticed a sharp stone on the roadside and, without thinking, picked it up and viciously scraped it across the soles of her own feet.

Bright red blood quickly oozed out, staining her feet.

Only then did a satisfied glint appear in Maya’s eyes. Gritting her teeth, she endured the pain as she rushed into the Capital Club.

While Maya Mitchell was arguing with the security guards in the lobby of the Capital Club that she was looking for Steve Burton, Steve, Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman hurriedly emerged from the elevator.

Maya immediately broke away from the security guard and ran towards Steve.

Blood-stained footprints were left on the pristine white floor of the Capital Club.

Steve was already walking hurriedly, and when she charged towards him, they collided, causing her to fall to the ground.
