Chapter 40 I Need Your Help


    Eric stared at Kate’s cute smile and felt strange. He adjusted his sleeve impatiently and left.


    Kate, <i>I </i><i>hope </i><i>you </i>will <i>wait </i><i>for </i>me as promised.


    A hint of coldness flickered in his eyes.


    He wasn’t lying to Kate. There was indeed a coboration to discuss. Lucas had been discreetly assigned to keep an eye on her.


    If Kate showed any inclination to flee with Simon, Lucas would swiftly intervene.


    As Eric walked away, Kate’s eyes gradually hardened. She nced at the message from Simon and sneered in disdain.


    She intended to meet Simon, but not now.


    She scanned through the guests on the first floor, searching for Hendrick. However, she failed to locate him. She furrowed her brows in unease.


    She dialed Hendrick’s number, but his phone was switched off.


    “Oh no!”


    A jolt ran through Kate. Her hands trembled involuntarily. Did Hendrick fall into Anna’s <i>trap </i><i>despite </i>my warning?


    She was anxious. Without a second thought, she headed towards the corner where Lucas was hiding. “Lucas, I need your assistance!” She sounded very urgent.


    Realizing that Kate had discovered his hiding spot, Lucas awkwardly said, “Mrs. Davison, I …”


    Kate cut him off, “Check the surveince camera of the hotel. Find Hendrick!”


    Seeing Kate’s distress, Lucas promptly agreed and contacted someone to review the surveince footage. Kate paced anxiously. She knew that Hendrick was going to be embroiled in a scandal with a powerful woman, but she was unaware of the specifics or his exact location.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

    After three minutes, Lucas reported to her respectfully, “Mrs. Davison, Mr. Lowe wasst seen in the elevator on the east side of the second floor. He proceeded to the sixteenth floor with a few people and wasst spotted at the end of the east corridor on the sixteenth floor. I do not know. which room he entered…


    Kate’s heart sank. “Gather your men. Let’s go!” Shemanded.


    Kate hurried into the elevator. Lucas couldn’t what happened in time to Eric as everything

    Kate pressed the button for the sixteenth floor while silently praying for a swift ascent. The elevator was too slow. Upon reaching the sixteenth floor, she sprinted eastward.


    There were four rooms in the surveince blind spot. Uncertain of Hendrick’s location, Kate instructed Lucas’s men who had just arrived, “Break down the door!”


    She pointed at Lucas and ordered, “You record everything.”


    The bodyguards hesitated briefly but followed Kate’s order.


    Bang!


    A door was forcefully kicked open, revealing an empty room.


    They kicked
