    Chapter 974 Miss Murphy’s Missing


    "Before Nelson left, he asked Roni to save Lionel." Matthew smiled helplessly. "I bet this isn''t a hard


    request for you. Is it, Your Highness?"


    Eleanor scoffed and rolled her eyes. "We''ve just got a deal, and you''re trying to get ahead of yourself. I


    expect nothing less from a businessman. You''re a sly fox."


    "Thank you so much, Your Highness." He showed his deepest gratitude.


    As soon as he finished his words, the phone in his pocket rang. He fished it out and nced at the


    dialer''s name, Dean Gesner. "Please give me a moment." He turned sideways to answer the call.


    "Dean."


    "Boss, Miss Murphy is missing." Dean''s voice was trembling.


    "What?!" The ever-calm man lost his cool as he jumped from his seat. Frantic was written all over his


    face. Meanwhile, Eleanor, reclining in the rattan chair, straightened her back upon his anxious reaction.


    Frowning, she observed his expression with a hanging heart.


    "Call everyone to look for her. Be quick. I''ll be there soon." He terminated the call and faced her. "Sorry,


    but I gotta go. Roni''s missing. "


    "Veronica''s missing? I''ming with you!" She stood up, wanting to tag along.


    "No." He stopped her. "We''ve just got a deal. If we get too close, people will get suspicious. It won''t do


    any good to our n."

    "But…" She gave it a thought, figuring that he had a point. "Just tell me once you get her."


    "Okay."


    "What are you waiting for? Hurry back home," she urged.


    He left at that instant. Watching the figure leave, Eleanor sighed and flopped onto the chair. Anxiety


    was getting the best of her. "Why is Veronica missing all of a sudden? Is it Waylen again?"


    An hourter, Matthew and Lazlo arrived at One Piece Restaurant at full pelt. Standing at the entrance,


    Matthew saw Dean scurrying from the inside and questioned with solemnity, "What happened?"


    "I don''t know either. Mr. Crayson dropped by to meet Miss Murphy upstairs this afternoon. It took less


    than thirty minutes before he left." Dean recalled nervously. "A whileter, Miss Wilson imed that she


    didn''t see Skyler anywhere, so she went upstairs to meet Miss Murphy. The next thing I know, Skyler


    fainted, and Miss Murphy is nowhere to be found."


    It happened due to their negligence; they assumed nothing would happen after Crayson left, yet


    Veronica went missing. Had it not been for Shirley, it might take them longer to find out Veronica


    disappeared.


    "Where''s Skyler?" Matthew strode to the parlor.


    "He hasn''t regained consciousness. Someone called a doctor, and he said Skyler was attacked with a


    secret skill of the hidden n. He won''t be able to wake up for three to five days." Dean was shaking in


    fear that Matthew would strangle him to death in anger.


    Despite the distress, Matthew did not let it show on hisposed face. "Any findings in Roni''s room?"


    "Nothing in particr. We had tight security, and there was always someone watching the surveince.


    There would be a report if they caught anything weird. I''ve asked the people on duty, and everything''s


    fine."
