Chapter 118
Calvert's intuition made him turn to look at the black sports car as it drove past. All he saw was a man in a black hat, revealing only his nose and lips. As the car passed, he subconsciously noted the license plate number.
At that moment, Rebecca was also rushing to the community. She couldn't help but call Dominic to ask what was going on. Although she knew Dominic wasn't God, and the property management also needed time, Rebecca was extremely anxious.
Dominic answered the phone and immediately said, “The property management hasn’t gotten back to me, but my subordinate has gone to the garage. He discovered that a rather suspicious-looking car had just left the garage. We’re looking into it right now.”
“A suspicious-looking car?” Rebecca inhaled sharply. “Vers told me someone followed her. Could it be the same person?”
“No, that person is still outside the community. Luke sent him.”
Rebecca was speechless. How did Dominic know that? Although Rebecca was taken aback, she wasn’t in the mood to wonder why. “Okay, got it. No matter what, I’ll go to her apartment first. Who knows? It could be just a misunderstanding.”
Although that was what Rebecca said, she didn’t really believe her own words as she ended the call.
Rebecca rushed to the apartment. Upon noticing that the place was dark, her heart sank. Rebecca recalled Dominic mentioning that Luke had sent a man to follow Vespera. She wondered whether Luke had a change of heart and decided to hurt Vespera instead.
Hence, Rebecca called Luke. As soon as the call connected, she cried out, “Luke, what did you do to Vera? Where are you hiding her? What will make you give up on her?”
“Is she missing?” Luke quickly got up from the couch. At that moment, he was on the 20th floor.
Luke was aware that Vespera was leaving the fishing village today. From the moment he left Rebecca’s place, he hired someone to keep an eye on Vespera. “Exactly, she’s gone. Luke, don’t you start pretending! If it’s not you, then it’s your mother. Maybe it’s that bitch, Tina! It’s got to be one of you three…” Rebecca paced around the house anxiously.
Without offering any explanation, Luke ended the call.
“Luke, you fucker!” Realizing that he had hung up, Rebecca became even more convinced that Luke was behind Vespera’s disappearance.
Not long after, Dominic received news that seemed to leave things more complicated than ever. The property management checked the surveillance footage at the garage, but there was no sign of Vespera driving inside. There was also no footage of other cars driving in or leaving.
But the footage at the entrance showed Vespera driving into the community. They even found her car in the garage. All in all, her car had disappeared from the footage after she drove into the community. Someone had tampered with the footage.
The garage was usually a quiet place, and there weren’t many cars going in and out at that hour. Most of the time, it was rather still. The monitoring room wouldn’t have noticed anything even if the interference went on for hours.
Rebecca did not hesitate to file a police report. A while later, a squad from a nearby police station and the property management arrived at the garage. The usually quiet garage was suddenly crowded with people.
Rebecca told the police about what had happened earlier. She also mentioned Dominic telling her about the suspicious vehicle as the property management added to their statement.
At that moment, Dominic and Calvert were chasing after the black sports car. The property management’s information had confirmed that the car was rather suspicious. Besides, Dominic also trusted Calvert’s intuition.
At the moment, no one could be certain whether Vespera was taken away in the car or was still in the community. Too much had happened during the interference. The police and property management continued investigating in the community. Meanwhile, Dominic was chasing after the suspicious vehicle.
No matter who had a lead, they had to share it immediately so they could locate Vespera as soon as possible. Naturally, the Munozes and Sowles were the biggest suspects in the case.
Over the past few days, everyone had been glued to their screens so they could keep up with the scandal.
