Within Solana City, Harper Group stood as an economic giant, second only to the domineering Beckett Group.
The skyscraper was tens of stories high and had more than a thousand rooms. Landon thought about how Lauren was being secretly locked in one of the rooms. He couldn't imagine the kind of fear and suffering that she was going through.
A tremor seized Landon's hands, all ten fingers vibrating uncontrollably. A white- hot ache lanced through his entire body, twisting and searing its way to his heart, threatening to rip it from his chest.
Preston was not going to reveal Lauren's location to him. He wanted to hide his most cherished treasure from him so that he could feel the pain in his heart. He wanted to aggravate and infuriate him. But what he really couldn't believe was...
Angelina was skilled. It wouldn't be a problem for her to go against ten or even 20 other people on her own. Moreover, she had a gun on her. She wouldn't hesitate to kill Preston's men on the spot at any crucial moment.
He couldn't understand how the weaklings under Preston were able to break into his house and get Lauren out, even under Angelina's watch. They even brought her to Harper Group without Landon finding out.
"Have you checked the surveillance footage?" Landon sprinted through the corridor. His throat felt dry and painful at the same time.
Jordan, his new secretary, followed closely behind him. Through gritted teeth, Jordan explained, "I have, but none of the surveillance captured Madam Lauren! "This shows that the people who brought Madam Lauren to Harper Group are extremely familiar with the place. I'm sure that it was done by an internal party."
"I'm just afraid that it might've been a combined effort between internal and external parties!" Landon exclaimed in a raspy and furious tone.
As he dialed Angelina's number, he remarked, "Otherwise, Preston wouldn't even have such capability to do so."
Contrary to his expectation, Angelina's cell was off. Landon's chest tightened as he broke out in a cold sweat. The situation might be even worse than he had imagined.
"Jordan, gather all the manpower you can and search every single room! Whoever finds Lauren will be rewarded greatly!" Landon's order erupted from his throbbing chest in a shout. His pale lips trembled, and his breathing grew uneven. "Also, call the cops. Angelina is in danger!"
Jordan acknowledged immediately, "Got it, Mr. Landon!
Carefully, Landon tried to recall the layout of the room where Lauren was being held.
The room's layout was rather odd. The color of the walls and the furniture in the room were quite different from the other rooms in the building.
Preston wanted to rile him up, so he certainly was not going to make it easy for him to find her.
In other words, the secret room was a place where Preston had confidence that Landon wasn't going to be able to locate.
This, however, gave Landon a clue. He suddenly remembered that the topmost floor was closed to the public as it was an area specifically for the chairman. It was highly likely that Lauren was being held captive there.
He took the elevator up to the top-most floor speedily. He ran like a madman while he called out Lauren's name at the same time.
His voice had turned hoarse and the sound of Lauren's name became distorted.
All of a sudden, Landon stopped in his tracks.
To his surprise, there was a thin, dark gap in the bright-colored wall at the end of the quiet corridor.

"Lauren... I'm here, I'm here... You're alright. Everything is okay now..."
He started talking incoherently through his chattering teeth. Tears flowed from his
eyes as he cried, both inwardly and outwardly.
Lauren's eyes fluttered open. Her gaze was unfocused and blank.
