How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 163

"I want cake!"

Her beloved son was right there at the Summit Grand Hotel—of course she wouldn't miss his birthday party.

"Daddy's on his way." Eddy ended the call.

The car sped through the city streets, racing toward downtown.

"You go straight to the hotel. If you see my wife, report to me immediately." Eddy split off from a few of the bodyguards.

They had searched for so long and still found nothing. A helpless dread pressed heavy on his chest.

He didn't dare imagine the worst, but the thought was impossible to ignore.

Tonight, his wife would definitely show up in the banquet hall for their son's birthday.

If she wasn't there—then something must have happened.

There was only one place she could be: the government building.

The Rolls Royce came to a stop in front of the imposing building, a place only accessible to officials, much less to someone planning to search every floor from top to bottom.

And tonight, the place was crawling with dignitaries from all over the world.

Eddy gave a subtle signal. One of his bodyguards slipped off to trigger the fire alarm.

The building's sirens blared to life, piercing the night.

Eddy's people guarded both entrances, checking every frantic person rushing out, searching for a familiar face.

Upstairs, in the middle of a meeting, Ablett issued crisp orders. "Put all documents in the safe. Everyone, head downstairs in an orderly fashion."

His aides obeyed without hesitation.

Ablett grabbed his coat from the sofa and stepped into the adjoining lounge.

The blaring alarm jolted Blanche awake. She blinked, still groggy. "Is there a fire?"

"No. Your husband's come looking for you."

Ablett's tone was calm. At his words, Blanche's whole body tensed, her eyes widening in alarm. As he draped the coat over her shoulders, his hand pressed gently, steadying her. "Just stay here. If you don't go out, he'll give up soon enough."
