Chapter 89 Could She Have Been Hidden Away

Two men approached, clearly drawn by Emelle’s beauty. They crouched in front of her and said something.

Emelie didn’t lift her head, and one of the men pinched her clin

William watched coldly, already noting these two men.

After getting a clear look at Emelie’s face, the other man recognized her as someone from William’s circle and quickly pulled his companion away, not daring to provoke further.

Emelie picked up the hairpin from the ground, clutching it as she swayed to her feet from the deck.

But she was like a defenseless lamb in her current state, vulnerable to anyone’s attack.

Until now, William hadn’t realized how easily Emelie could be bullied.

Even more concerning was that!

t she suddenly walked toward a blind sp

I spot in the surveillance.

The security manager tried switching camera angles, but Emelie’s figure couldn’t be found anywhere.

William’s voice was heavy. “Where is she?”

“Mr. Middleton, please wait a moment.” The security manager continued to switch between camera angles, but there was no sign of her

After Emelie entered the blind spot of the surveillance, she vanished into thin air

The security dispatched to find her reported that they had reached the third floor but hadn’t seen Emelie.

The security manager swallowed nervously, not daring to think further.

They would face dire consequences if something happened to William’s guest under their noses.

He contacted everyone, deployed more personnel, searched every comer, and questioned every guest, especially those who had been on the third floor.

As he busily coordinated, the surveillance video still playing suddenly emitted a splash, as if something heavy had fallen into the water

The security manager was still in shock when William quickly grabbed the mouse, rewinding the progress bar

The splash came from the direction where Emelie disappeared.

The control room fell into silence.

It was hard not to think that Emelie had fallen into the sea in such a situation.

“Mr. Middleton, this.” The security manager’s face turned pale.

William’s expression was key

He immediately walked out, his voice resolute. “Deploy a search and rescue team into the sea.”

The security manager quickly reported to his superiors and organized personnel for a full–scale search and rescue.

Late into the night, over a dozen rubber boars were lowered into the sea, each carrying two people, spreading across the surface.

In addition, there were coaches on jet skis and divers searching near the cruise ship:

The ship tumed on its large lights, brightening up the sea.

Such a commotion naturally couldn’t go unnoticed. Guests who had been enjoying themselves at the banquet gathered on the deck.

“I heard Mr. Middleton’s companion fell into the water,”

my god! Will they be able to find her?”

“Mr. Middleton has also contacted the shore guard, and reinforcements are on their way. But the sea is so vast that it’s not easy to find someone who fell into it.”

Norman patted William’s shoulder.

“William, rest assured, whether she’s alive or not, I’ll give you an explanation. I won’t let her disappear like this without a trace.”

Elias glanced at William

William was always composed, and he remained so even then

An hour of chaos passed, but nothing was found.

Chapter 29 Could She Have Been Hidden Away

Elias moved his laptop to the deck and replayed the footage of Emelie’s disappearance. Guests crowded around him.

Elias kept adjusting the progress bar, zooming in on the footage where the splash sound occurred, trying to see what had fallen into the sea.

But it was too dark, and it happened in a blind spot of the surveillance. That made it impossible to see clearly.

So, did Emelie really fall into the seat

If not, where was she now?

If she was still on the ship, she would know and come out since there was such a huge commotion.

Could it be that someone hid her away?

Ellas gained no instelt and was about to shut his computer when a woman behind him suddenly spoke, “Ar that time, um, I think I heard that splashing sound.”

The woman was talking to her friend softly, and it was unclear how William, who was several feet away, heard her.

He quickly turned his head to look

“What did you hear?” His voice was slightly tense.

The woman hesitated momentarily and then said, “At H0 pm, I went back to my room on the third floor to get something.

“On my way back to the banquet hall, as I passed by a room, I inadvertently heard arguing inside.

“There was also a splash sound. At the time, Lalso thought it sounded like something falling into the water.”

William’s gaze sharpened. “Please take me to that room.”

e woman quickly agreed and led William to the room on the third floor

William immediately knocked on the door.

A man with a braised tace opened the door, looking extremely surprised to see William “Mr. Middleron, you.”

William glanced into the room. The chairs were overturned, and it was a mess.

He didn’t beat around the bush and asked about the splashing sound.

The man dared not hide anything and confessed that he and his wife quarreled tonight, which escalated into a tight

In a fit of anger, his wife threw a flowerpot at him. He dodged, and the flowerpot flew out the window and into the sea

In other words, the splash sound was from the flowerpot instead of Emelie

William closed his eyes briefly.

Elas felt inexplicably relieved, as if he had been holding his breath all this time.

Was he worried about Emelie?

After confirming the details, William immediately walked away.

“Bring back half of the search team from the sea. Emelle is still on the ship. Search the cabins.”

Elias promptly went to carry out the order.

William walked alone in the corridor

He pondered. If Emelie hadn’t fällen into the sea, she must still be on the ship,

With such a commotion, she would’ve come out if she were conscious.

Considering her unsteady state in the surveillance footage, she might be unconscious somewhere now

No. The security team had already searched the public areas once

She would have been found if she were unconscious. That was unless she was taken into a room by someone.

William suddenly stopped in his tracks, and realization dawned on him.

His eyes lifted, revealing a dark abyss within

He asked the person following him, “Where is Mr. Samuel’s room?“”

“He’s also on the third floor, in the first room‘

William burried over.

Everyone on the ship knew Emelie was suspected of talling into the water.

Samuel was so concerned about her, yet he hadn’t appeared until now.

Something wasn’t right.

the doorbell when he reached the door.

However, no one answered.

He pressed the doorbell three more times. Just as his patience was about to run out,

The person who opened the door was Samuel

the door finally opened.
