Chapter 6: Where Is She Now?
At Adams Group, Jonah sat rigidly at the head of the conference table, swiftly flipping through the planning, document in his hand. The more he read, the deeper his frown grew. Before reaching the end, he threw the document onto the desk, his sharp gaze sweeping
across the room.
office was deathly silent, with everyone lowering their heads, too afraid to meet the boss’s eyes. Viggo, standing behind Jonah, tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, staring at the back of Jonah’s head.
Jonah’s face was cold and taut, his thin lips parting as he spoke, “Is this the plan you spent
three weeks on?”
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but the words sent a chill through everyone present.
The office remained silent.
After a couple of seconds, the head of the planning department hurriedly picked up the document from the table, wiping the sweat from his brow as he nervously explained, “Mr. Adams, our original plan was for the villa area on the southern coast, but the police went there this morning. We heard someone died there, so we had to reconsider…”
Hearing the mention of a coastal villa and a fatality, Jonah momentarily lost focus, then let out a cold laugh, forcing his attention back to the present.
The head of planning fell silent immediately, seeing the boss’s expression turn even more severe. He stood there, trembling, unsure whether to continue speaking.
At that moment, the office door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.
“He’s too busy to see his own mother?” a voice called from outside. Jonah looked up.
An older woman, her face full of anger, pushed past the secretary blocking her way and stormed into the office. Jonah instinctively frowned and waved his hand, signaling the end of the meeting.

Viggo was a bit surprised and quickly reviewed all his actions from the past year in his

Jonah was equally puzzled and frowned as he asked, “Mom, what brings you here?”
Molly angrily poked Jonah in the chest with her finger, her well–maintained face showing nothing but fury, “Do you even care that I’m your mother?”
Jonah remained silent.
“Sabrina was kidnapped, and you didn’t tell me? What did she ever do to deserve this from
you?*
“Have you been bewitched by that vixen? Ignoring your good wife to stay at the hospital
with that seductive woman!”
Jonah’s temples throbbed. He was about to speak, but Molly gave him no chance.
“Sabrina won’t even answer my calls now. Where is she?” Molly’s eyes were red as she
looked at her son.
Jonah remained silent for a moment.
He thought about Sabrina and Colin, then sneered, “She’s fine. She’s probably with Colin right now, doing who knows what dirty business…”
Before he could finish, Molly slapped him across the face.
The slap echoed loudly in the empty office.
Molly had put all her strength into it.
Jonah stood there, stunned, his ears ringing.
Viggo watched the scene unfold, filled with dread.
Molly looked at Jonah with bitter disappointment, saying, “Sabrina must have been blind to choose you. She’s your wife, and not only do you never care about her, but you also—”

Molly’s hands trembled with anger. She turned to Viggo and asked, “Where is she now?
Viggo instinctively looked to Jonah for guidance.
Jonah turned his bruised face away, his voice irritated, “Find her!”
“Yes, sir.”
Viggo quickly opened his laptop to track Sabrina’s phone. After a few moments, he reported,
Madam’s phone is currently moving along Southbank Street.”
