Chapter 994


    Director Spencer was taken aback when Ian decided to engage in a conversation with him. It was


    unexpected, to say the least.


    Ian furrowed his brows, pulled out his phone, and then removed Maja from his blocked contacts list.


    “Is she trying to sign you into herpany?” He casually asked.


    “Yes,” The director responded, “I’ve already discussed it with Ms. Pennyfeather. The contracts are


    ready."


    Ian dialed a number on his phone but received no answer from the other end.


    It was known that Maja had been working overtimetely, often until midnight. She was also in the


    midst of a crucial battle with Funfly. It was highly unlikely that she would drop the ball at that moment


    unless something was wrong.


    The elevator reached the ground floor. Ian walked out, then turned to the director and said, “Something


    must''ve happened to her. She might be in trouble, which is why she couldn’t answer the phone. You


    can discuss the contract with herter.”


    His words implied that the director needn''t worry about that missed opportunity.


    Overwhelmed, the director didn’t dare to argue. After all, that was Ian, a man who even the top


    producers failed to curry favor with.


    “Alright, Mr. Raymond,” He said, “I’ll discuss it with Ms. Pennyfeather next time we meet.”


    Ian then drove straight to Maja''s office.


    Elvis was surprised to see him there.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "Where was Maja?"


    "Ms. Pennyfeather had a lunch appointment with a director, she should''ve been back by now."


    "She didn''t meet with the director. Give me Zoey''s number."


    Elvis immediately found Zoey''s number.


    Zoey, who was on her way to Rosewood Manor, quickly answered her ringing phone.


    "Hello."


    "It''s Ian. Where''s Maja?"


    Hearing his voice, Zoey felt a wave of relief wash over her, and she immediately began to cry. She was


    incredibly worried about Maja.


    "Ms. Pennyfeather''s been kidnapped. I don''t know where she is, and I don''t have any evidence. The


    police won''t take the case. I''m going to Rosewood Manor to ask Maria to send her bodyguards to look


    for Maja."


    After hanging up the phone, Ian immediately ordered a review of the building''s security footage.


    However, the footage had been tampered with, and no evidence could be found of her disappearance.


    He called his contacts and asked them to check all the surveince cameras around Star Movie


    Group''s office to ensure that nothing unusual could avoid their eyes.


    Eventually, they found footage of Omar, the man who had taken Maja.


    Ian''s face darkened, and he immediately drove to the riverside.


    Everyone knew about Omar''s recent obsession with dredging the river, hoping to find the body of his


    loved one. People said that he was mad, and no one knew who he was actually looking for.


    But given his history with the Casson family, no one dared to cross him.


    Ian floored the gas pedal and reached the riverside in just fifteen minutes.


    He got out of the car and scanned the area for Omar.


    He grabbed one of the bodyguards, his face set in a stern expression as he asked, "Where''s Omar?"


    The bodyguard, startled, stammered, "Mr. Omar left with a woman three minutes ago. He drove away


    quickly, and we didn''t dare to ask where he was headed."


    Ian quickly contacted Jeff, asking him to track Omar''s location.


    Meanwhile, Omar was directing his men to dig a hole by the riverside. The hole was already two


    meters deep when he kicked Maja into it. He nned to bury her alive.


    "Maja, I''ll ask you onest time. Where is Cornelia?"


    Maja remained silent, not even looking at him anymore.


    Omar had never encountered a woman as stubborn as Maja. He stood up, a cold smile on his face.


    "Alright, if you wish for death, I''ll grant it."


    Maja spat out the sand in her mouth andughed as she said, "Even if Cornelia were alive, she would


    do more than just shoot you if she knew that you were burying me alive. You im to love her, yet you


    do everything she despises."


    Omar was infuriated by her words!


    "If she were alive, I would treat her well!"


    "Who cares about your empty promises? All men are the same. Go ahead, bury me. I''ll see Cornelia in


    the afterlife and report you!"


    Omar had never met a woman as defiant as Maja. Any other woman, having been tortured for hours


    and about to be buried alive, would''ve been begging for mercy by that point.


    "Damn it! Bury her!"


    He ordered his bodyguards to start shoveling dirt into the hole.
