Chapter 320


    “ra, I’ve even put my parents’ safety at risk for you. Just stay put here for a while, and when things


    cool down, I’ll let you go back. Then, I’ll exin everything to him.”


    “…Emmett wouldn’t betray me! I just need to have a word with him. Even a text message would do!”


    “In the end, you just don’t trust me!” Elio turned cold, “Then just stay here! If you think Emmett can


    come to rescue you, then just wait and see!”


    With that, he turned to leave. ra rushed to stop him, “You can’t leave me here! Let me go; no matter


    the danger, I’ll face it myself!”


    Elio’s lips tightened, “It’s not up to you!”


    Two days!


    Two full days without any news of ra.


    Now, the whole Melendez Group was on edge, as President Emmett was about to lose it!


    Ricardo, delivering documents, gently knocked on the door, only-daring to enter when he heard a


    sound from inside.


    Before he could speak, Emmett asked directly, “Any news of ra?”


    Ricardo shook his head, stepping forward to ce the documents on the table, “I’m sorry… this is all


    my fault. I should’ve stopped her from leaving.”

    ?


    Emmett rubbed his forehead, gesturing for him to leave. But Ricardo, seeing his haggard look, felt


    extremely guilty.


    “Mr. Melendez, Mrs. Melendez must be fine. Please eat something. I heard from the canteen staff that


    you haven’t touched the food they sent these past few days! This can’t go on; we still have no news of


    Mrs. Melendez. You’ll fall sick like this…”


    “Right now, apart from the news of ra, I don’t want to hear anything else! I don’t have an appetite;


    you go do your work!”


    Emmett appeared disheveled, with stubble covering his face and a hoarse voice, a stark contrast to his


    usual vibrant self.


    Ricardo knew the importance of ra to the president. It was this that made him feel particrly guilty.


    If only he could have stopped ra from leaving, maybe none of this would have happened…


    Suddenly, Emmett stood up from his chair and reached for his car keys.


    “I need to go out. If there’s anything, call me, especially if there’s news about ra. Get in touch


    immediately!”


    Ricardo nodded but worried he might have an ident while driving, “Where are you going? Let me


    drive you; you haven’t eaten these days. I’m worried about you…” “I’m fine, and I won’t let anything


    happen to me until I find ra!”


    Emmett’s face darkened, and he strode out of the office.


    When his phone rang, he had just reached the ground floor; he hadn’t even left thepany..


    It was a news alert. Normally, Emmett wouldn’t have paid any attention, but the headline made him


    pause.


    ra!


    Why was her name here?


    Emmett immediately clicked on the news headline; he stood still, frozen in ce.


    “Elio getting married? Rumor has it his bride-to-be is the secretary of the Melendez Group, named


    ra!”


    “Shocker! Elio’s fiancée turns out to be the ex-girlfriend of AW Company’s president!


    The news link also included a photo depicting a woman and a man lying in bed.


    Although the man’s face was obscured, Emmett was certain that woman was definitely ra!
