Chapter 2145
"We... We're just hostesses from Pivotage. We don't know anything... Please don't kill us!" Even though the two men in front of them were incredibly handsome, the girls were still terrified to the point of tears. Justin's voice was stern as he questioned, "Why did Pivotage close down? Why are only the two of you left? Where is everyone else?"
"We don't know either. This is a core secret, and we're just hostesses. How could we possibly know?" One of the girls, slightly braver, stepped forward, shielding her friend behind her.
"Mr. Taylor dismissed all of us overnight..."
The girl behind her spoke timidly. "He gave each of us a severance payment and told us to leave. Pivotage is no more. We don't know anything beyond that..."
Justin's eyes narrowed sharply. Cold sweat immediately soaked his back.
Instead of saying they tipped him off, it made more sense that Christopher had already abandoned everything in Savrow and fled, planning to evade justice.
"What about Yvonne? Where is she?!" Drew shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
The two girls huddled closer together in fear. "We don't know... We don't know... Yvonne... She left yesterday."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Drew's voice broke. "Where did she go?!"
"We really don't know where Yvonne went! But that night, I accidentally overheard... Mr. Taylor talking to his men. He said he proposed to Yvonne, and she agreed to marry him. Maybe... They've gone abroad to get married."
Justin was stunned. "Get married?!"
In an instant, Drew felt his world turn upside down, his vision darkening. The blood coursing through his veins surged violently in his chest, alternating between hot and cold, crashing within him.
Tonight, Yvonne had bid him farewell, only to marry another man.
"No... No! Yvonne would never marry that bastard!" Drew slammed his iron fist against the wall until his knuckles were swollen and bleeding.
"Don't do this, Drew." Justin quickly stepped forward to intervene, his heart aching as well.
Just then, Ralph arrived with his colleagues.
Seeing Drew, who normally would not flinch even if the sky were falling, so emotionally distraught and losing control, Ralph looked at Justin with a mix of concern and helplessness.
"Ralph, these two girls are the hostesses left behind at Pivotage. They've been working under Taylor. We need to take them back for questioning. Maybe we can get some valuable information from them."'
Justin patted Drew gently on the shoulder to calm him down. "But I believe they are victims, too. Ralph, please make sure they're treated fairly and not overly pressured."
Ralph nodded firmly. "Of course!"
"Also, we need to monitor all major transport hubs in the city. If there's any sign of Christopher, we must detain him immediately. We can't let him leave Savrow!"
"It's too late, Justin!" Frustrated, Ralph punched the wall in anger. "I thought of that too and sent
colleagues to check before I came. It turns out Christopher left Savrow on a private jet three hours ago. By now, he's probably already out of the country!"
Justin's heart sank. "Is there any way to track his flight route?"
"I'm just a police officer. This is beyond my jurisdiction. Even if I had the means, it wouldn't be proper. After all, we only have enough evidence to charge Taylor right now. We don't have enough evidence to issue a warrant for Christopher. Owen's testimony alone isn't sufficient!"
The situation was once again at a stalemate.
It was like a chess game where, just as victory seemed within reach, a knight suddenly appeared, blocking the path.
Just as Justin pondered, his phone suddenly rang.
