Chapter 36 Pay The Price
Chapter 36 Pay The Price
Seeing the serious look on the face of Enrique, Teresa could not help but feel worried. Would she be in danger if it wasn't just a simple matter of a theft case?
What if it really had something to do with that man? Didn't she get stared at for a long time?
Teresa sat by the bed with a headache, looking out the window at the gloomy day. She actually felt herself sucked into a dark vortex.
There was not much time left for her to submit the design, and now she had to start all over again. It seemed that she really couldn't cope with this situation.
"Don't think too much. The truth will come to light sooner or later. But it must be hard for you and Claire. I wonder if you two can make it in time if you redesign everything." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Enrique was still a little bit worried. He knew they had done most of the design. Now that everything was falling apart, it was a bit tricky.
And, once the news was out, it would shock the jewelry world. They could do nothing but hope the matter would be solved quickly.
If this time trouble was aimed at TH Group, he would definitely make that person pay the price.
"It happened too suddenly. I have to go back to China. Be careful these days. I've already suggested that Claire relocated the office. Wait for her to call. Stay in the hotel tomorrow and don't go anywhere else. By the way, think about your new idea."
Enrique stroked her hair to comfort her and walked out of Teresa's room with his coat.
Although he didn't have a clue who the person was, he was not the one who got the short end of the stick and kept slience. Since ones wanted to make trouble to TH Group, they should be prepared for
retaliation.
Therefore, Enrique went back to China on the latest flight in an instant. Then, he immediately contacted with Tony.
While Enrique was busy finding out the truth, Teresa, who had nothing to do, received a phone call from Yilia.
"Director Yan, what can I do for you?"
Teresa's mind was full of questions. She clearly knew that Yilia was not the kind of person to call her when she had nothing to do.
"What?" Apparently, Yilia was also shocked by what Teresa said before she calmed down.
"I was going to call someone else for the design. I didn't expect that I would make an overseas call. As your superior, I just want to know how far Miss Gu's design is going on."
"It's none of your business. Telephone calls abroad are very expensive and director Yan is so busy as well. I won't bother you to work."
Teresa was not in the mood for a fight with Yilia. She was upset and didn't want any trouble. After all, she was a person who would fight against Yilia in any minutes!
However, Yilia, whom Teresa hung up on, did not act as if nothing happened. The viciousness in her eyes was frightening.
She take out her phone and send a message. Then she snickered.
The next day, Claire sent someone to the hotel to pick Teresa up to the new studio. But Teresa hadn't come out for a long time.
The driver impatiently dialed the number of Teresa, but it was still not answered for a long time. Finally, Claire had to pay a visit to Teresa room by herself. She knocked her door for a long time.
There was no answer.
Puzzled, Claire pushed the door open, only to find the bed was neat and tidy and Teresa's coat was put on the bed silently.
It looked like she was just going out or just got back to the hotel. Feeling the incident was serious, Claire called the police and informed Enrique immediately.
Enrique had just returned to China and gave orders when Claire called. Did Teresa disappear as soon as he returned to the country?
What the hell was going on?
Enrique was so busy that he didn't know where to start. It would take a few days to find Teresa in M City as the power of him in M City was inferior to that of him in China.
By then, he did not dare to think what might have happened to Teresa.
Enrique leaned against the seat with his eyes closed. In fact, his brain was racing to figure out how to save Teresa the fastest.
All of a sudden, he opened his eyes and called Ezra.
"Ezra, please help me send a message to Jerome."
Anyway, the power of the Gu Family was not much less than the Shen Family. Right now, Teresa was missing. Enrique didn't believe that Jerome was no in hurry!
If Teresa was really not important for the Gu Family, then he didn't need to use her for anything else. In this way, he could kill two birds with one stone.
"Tony, book a ticket to fly to M City."
Enrique rubbed his aching temple helplessly. He had been going back and forth in the past few days. First the design draft was lost, and then Teresa disappeared. Did the design draft theft have anything to do with the disappearance of Teresa?
'Is it because of TH Group that Teresa is involved, or those guys targeted at Teresa originally?'
But at the thought of it, Enrique laughed.
He thought in his heart, 'It's been less than a month since Teresa came back. Is she important enough to be attacked? It really doesn't make sense!'
She had been working in TH Group for less than a week when he sent her to the M City to design AAR's annual exhibit. She didn't have time to make enemies, did she?
Enrique thought the whole thing was so difficult to figure out. He decided to ask for the help of the Windy Pond.
He hoped that Teresa was safe now.
When Enrique was about to call Moore Lu, the master of Windy Pond, the screen of Enrique's phone suddenly lit up. The name on Enrique phone's screen was exactly Teresa.
"Hey! Teresa, where are you?"
"Help me. Help me, Enrique!" Teresa said in a low voice. It seemed certain that she was kidnapped.
"Tell me where you are!"
"I don't know. I can only hear the bell nearby. Ah!"
Teresa cried in pain and then hung up. After hearing Teresa's scream, Enrique's heart pricked. He picked up his coat and rushed out.
However, he saw a face that he didn't want to see.
The 50-year-old, graying old man in front of Enrique was his father and moreover this old man was the power holder of the Shen Family.
"Father, why are you here?"
Enrique had to stop and look at Harris Shen, who looked serious and dignified.
"I have just heard from a member of the board of directors that we lost the design draft for the anniversary of AAR the other day. What happened? It's the time to hand in the draft. How could there be such a big problem?"
Enrique thought as he heard that his father had come to question him. 'Now the situation is more troublesome. More than a lost design draft, even the designer is missing.'
But how could he tell him about it?
"Well, it happened all of a sudden. We have reported to the police when we found the design draft was lost. But the top one problem is that the designer we sent is missing. As far as I know, she were kidnapped."
"The new comer? Is she missing? Oh, she is disappearing just in time. I need you to send Yilia to M City right away and let her join the project. I can rest assured that if she is involved in the
design."
