Husband you've abandoned me. Fine, I'll focus on raising my son - Chapter 298: What is she doing now

Chapter 298: What is she doing now

Before long the manager of the complex came to see me. I told him who I was and what I was looking for. Unsurprisingly, he quickly obliged. He told me he couldn’t let into the Carrington’s apartment and but agreed to let me see camera footage of the building. I agreed.

If Jasmine was hiding in his apartment her plan wasn’t going to work. I would find her and bring her back now.

The manager led to the camera room on one of the upper floors. The man present quickly played back the footage of the last three hours and it showed Jasmine entering the building 3 hours earlier and the Carrington was by her side. They had several bodyguards surrounding them. The footage showed them walk up to the elevator go tot he floor of his apartment and enter it. He was holding her hand as they walked together.

My jaw tightened at the sight. I already knew Jasmine had escaped with his help and expected her to be here but it just hurt for it to be confirmed like this. I held her the day the day before. I kissed her! It just confirmed that Jasmine really had lied to me. She had me fooled. My hand formed into a fist.

As I continued to watch the footage it showed her and the Carrington leaving the apartment building through the garage about two hours later. About half an hour before I arrived. If I had been earlier I could have bumped into them. I felt annoyed by this.

So she had left the building. My eyes furrowed in confusion as I wondered where on earth she was going now.

“Any idea where they could have gone?” I tried asking the manager who was standing next to me. I already knew what the answer would be.

“Uh, no sir. We have no idea,” he told me.

I thanked the manager for the footage and told him I would leave. I also told him to inform me if they returned.

I walked out of the camera room and made my way to the elevator. I felt frustration flow through my body. We were wasting even more time now with all this.

My phone rang in my pocket as I entered the elevator. I answered it and it was my lawyers. They were calling to inform me of the progress they had made in the ransom note response. They were formulating documents to pretend I had actually signed off the the company. They key was they would be really convincing at first. It would be hard for one to tell for a while that they are fake.

The ransom said they would first verify the documents were real and then send over Tony.

Of course Edwards helpers (Diana and others) would eventually find out the truth but they wouldn’t know for a while. I just might be able to buy time and get Tony.

I felt irritated at how I should be with my lawyers in person right now instead of looking for Jasmine. I’m doing this for our son and you choose to be so reckless! I approved for the lawyers to finalise the papers and I would see them by tomorrow before we sent it off. I finished the call as I exited the apartment building and headed for my car.

A few moments after the call I received another call. It was my mother I realised as I read the name. I let out a tired sigh. This was not the time talk to her.

“Mother what is it?” I said into the phone.

“I just wanted to find out how you are and how things are going so far,” she told me.

“She’s runaway.”

“What do you mean she’s runaway?”

Exactly that,” he said.

“But just last week you told me she was coming

She was lying to me and ran away from my estate,” I repeated.

“Whilst you’re in the middle of looking for your son?”

“Yes.”

“That foolish girl. I told her to understand where you were coming from. I told her to give you a chance,|”

“I’m on my way to find her. Once I get her back, I’ll call you back,” I assured her.

“You d my mother informed me.

“Look mother, I’ll call you back once I handle the situate.”

I left the apartment building. I then turned to two of my men. “Stay here and watch for Jasmine if she comes back.

I went straight to her apartment. “All rooms are clear sir,” my men informed me. I should have known.

I looked out the window and saw it was pitch black outside. I had completely lost track of time with how much I had been moving around looking for her. I checked the time and saw it was already.

I took out my phone and went to my contacts. I knew I wouldn’t be able to reach the Carrington boy. I couldn’t call Jasmine because she left her phone.

“Where are you jasmine?” I asked myself as I entered her bedroom. Why was she doing this?

My phone rang again. I looked down at it hoping it wasn’t one

“Sir!” Someone called out for me.

“What!” I snapped turning to look at the . “You better have a good reason as to why you’re bothering me right now.”

The trembled as he looked at me. “Well…we received a call from the hospital about a woman in hospital who want to see you.

“And what does the have to do with me?” He asked..

“She says her name is Diana. Diana Rockford.”

My mouth widened in shock as I looked at him. “What?”

DO NOT READ

I was fuming as I paced back and forth in my office. How could Jasmine do this to me!? To Anthony? I went past my desk and stared at the desk full of documents and desktop. Without thinking I pushed everything off my desk.

Everything fell to the floor and a loud For a second time my monitor I had broken everything on my desk.
