Chapter 282: Chapter 282: No One Inside
Craig Landers, with reddened eyes, didn’t know how many red lights he ran to get to the scene of the accident.
A police car was closely chasing him.
It was the traffic police who discovered his speeding.
Craig Landers handed the driver’s seat to the police and rushed towards the police line.
"Sir, you can’t go in."
A police officer stopped him.
Craig Landers’ eyes were bloodshot, "Let me in, that’s my wife’s car!"
That car belonged to Leia Quinn!
But where was his wife?
Craig Landers pushed past the officer and rushed to the car.
The car stood alone, empty.
"Where’s my wife? Where’s the person who was in here?"
Craig Landers felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He roared, just wanting to know Leia Quinn’s whereabouts.
"Sir, we received a call from a concerned citizen and dispatched a rescue team. The car door was open, and no one was found inside."
The officer responded truthfully.
The car door was open, and no one was inside.
So, Leia Quinn might still be alive!
Yes!
She wouldn’t just die like that.
She must still be alive!
Craig Landers, with bloodshot eyes, took out his phone and made a call.
"Send people to search along the coast, you must find my wife!"
Cindy, sweetheart, where are you!
Come back!
...
Country F.
High-end restaurant.
"Benjamin."
Elara Don entered the private room, smiling as she greeted Benjamin Harper.
"Elly, please have a seat."
Benjamin Harper stood up and pulled a chair for Elara Don.
Elara Don thanked him and sat down.
Benjamin Harper poured Elara Don a cup of tea, and after some small talk, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
"Elly, are you and Damon doing well?"
Benjamin Harper tentatively asked as he looked at the smile on Elara Don’s face.
Although he had been traveling for work, he vaguely heard that Elara Don and Damon Hawke had broken up?
Is that true or false?
"Something did happen between us, but it should be resolved soon."
Elara Don thought about Helen and Cole Hawke, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Helen hadn’t come back last night, saying she had taken Cole Hawke to her parents’.
It seems Cole Hawke was tightly ensnared.
The thought was amusing.
Seeing the smile on Elara Don’s face, Benjamin Harper’s eyes flickered slightly.
"That’s good to hear. I heard some rumors and thought you and Damon had broken up."
Seeing her in such a good mood suggested the rumors weren’t true.
He thought Gabriel Miles might have used some means to force Damon Hawke and Elara Don to break up.
After all, last time, Gabriel Miles almost succeeded.
"What rumors?" Elara Don blinked, asking.
"Rumors about Samantha and Damon getting back together, things like that."
Benjamin Harper smiled, placing some food onto Elara Don’s plate.
Elara Don glanced at Benjamin Harper, "Benjamin, you grew up with Miss Grant, right? Do you know she has psychological issues?"
Upon hearing this, Benjamin Harper paused his eating, looking at Elara Don in slight surprise.
"Elly, the Miles family has been kind to me, so there are some things I’m not at liberty to disclose. But I suppose you already know something now."
Evelyn Miles was spoiled.
He always thought her personality was just a bit arrogant and obstinate.
But he hadn’t expected her stubbornness to deviate more and more from her nature as she aged.
Her psychological state was indeed unhealthy.
When Benjamin Harper thought about Evelyn Miles’ attitude towards him, his eyes darkened.
If it weren’t for Hunter Miles, he wouldn’t have kept enduring in silence.
Because Hunter Miles was not in good health, even if Benjamin discovered something, he could only keep it to himself.
"I met one of Evelyn Miles’ ex-boyfriends, so I learned some things. It’s really unexpected how many secrets Evelyn Miles is hiding."
Elara Don commented while eating, reflecting on the relationship dynamics within the Miles family.
Benjamin Harper gave Elara Don a deep look, his dark eyes showing a hint of movement.
By saying this, had she discovered something?
Besides her psychological issues, Evelyn Miles’ background was also a big secret!
"Let’s not talk about her anymore. Benjamin, how long are you staying in Country F?"
Elara Don didn’t want to discuss Evelyn Miles further and changed the topic.
"Another two or three days. What about you? When are you heading back to China?"
"I’ll return after wrapping up things here."
"..."
The two chatted casually, enjoying each other’s company.
When they had eaten enough, they got up to settle the bill.
"Benjamin, let me host today."
Elara Don insisted on paying.
"Elly, I’m a man. I don’t have the habit of letting women pay when dining out."
"Haha, Benjamin, I didn’t expect you to have such a strong sense of masculinity?"
"I think most men have some degree of masculinity."
"..."
Engaged in idle conversation, they headed towards the cashier.
As they walked past a private room, a door was suddenly flung open, and a woman rushed out.
"Watch out."
Benjamin Harper quickly pulled Elara Don behind him to prevent her from being hit.
The woman who rushed out of the private room immediately collided into Benjamin Harper.
The impact was so strong it almost knocked Benjamin Harper over.
He frowned as he helped her steady herself.
The woman’s body reeked of alcohol, and panic shone in her eyes.
She looked up at Benjamin Harper, somewhat stunned.
"Serena Wells, why are you running? Hurry up and get back in there."
A woman came out of the private room, angrily shouting.
Serena Wells was startled, tightly clutching Benjamin Harper’s clothes, hiding behind him.
"Linda, I don’t want to drink anymore, they, they all..."
"What do you mean they? Do you still want to be the lead dancer or not? Get back here now."
The woman said furiously.
"No! I don’t want to drink with the guests!"
Serena Wells clung to Benjamin Harper’s clothes, shaking her head vehemently.
"Serena Wells!"
The woman was infuriated and was about to explode but was surprised to see Benjamin Harper.
"Benjamin Harper? Are you Benjamin Harper?"
Benjamin Harper, being tugged by someone, was somewhat at a loss for words.
He glanced at the woman, confirming he didn’t know her.
But being a star, he assumed many people should recognize him.
He nodded politely to her, attempting to release Serena Wells’ grip.
But Serena Wells refused to let go.
She looked at Benjamin Harper with a pleading expression, "Mr. Harper, I’m a fan of yours, please help me, talk to Linda for me, I don’t want to entertain clients by drinking."
Before Benjamin Harper could respond, Linda stepped forward and pulled Serena Wells aside.
"Serena Wells, what do you think you’re doing? Mr. Harper is a big star, how would he have time to handle your affairs? Hurry up and get back in there."
"No! Mr. Harper, I’m truly your fan. I admire you greatly. I beg you, help me!"
Serena Wells struggled desperately but was forcefully dragged by Linda back to the private room.
Benjamin Harper frowned. Although he had sympathy for Serena Wells, he indeed didn’t want to meddle.
After all, as an entertainer, any minor incident could lead to media chaos.
He found it bothersome.
Just as he was about to leave with Elara Don, who hadn’t spoken all this while, she suddenly spoke up.
"Let her go."
