Chapter 222 It Was Him!

Stephanie was missing for three days. Jenny had turned up empty-handed.

She'd gone to the police station countless times, and Jenny had begged several people for help, but still, there was no news of her. Jenny's heart began sinking little by little.

In Gilbert's villa, Jenny checked the surveillance cameras alone in the room. She didn't give up just yet. Gilbert and Zack stood at the doorway, worried. "Bro, can't you tell her to rest? If she keeps doing that..." "It's no use. She won't stop until she finds Stephanie." Gilbert knew Jenny very well, so he had not told her to stop.

"It's so absurd. How can a person vanish just like that? If not for Jenny's insistence, I'd think her friend had never existed." Zack began doubting his technical skills.

Gilbert frowned. He knew how great Zack's and Jenny's skills were and found this very weird, too. It shouldn't be this way.

After a while, he walked into the room, stopping next to Jenny.

"Jenny," he said.

Jenny stopped typing. "Is there news of her, Gilbert?"

He shook his head. The hope that had risen in Jenny's eyes dimmed once more.

Gilbert sat down next to her and looked at her grimly. "Parrington is neither big nor small. There aren't a lot of people whom you can't find. When you said Alec asked Paul for help yet came up with nothing. I thought it was weird."

Jenny raised an eyebrow. "Weird, how?"

"You could say that Alec isn't that great at looking for people, but Paul is an expert. There's no one in Parrington that he can't find," Gilbert said.

Jenny was deep in thought; what Gilbert said made sense. "But he still hasn't found anything. I can't ask him too many questions since he's doing me a favor."

"Have you considered that perhaps he knows where she is?" Gilbert shared his bold hypothesis.

Jenny was shocked. She was dazed for a while.

Gilbert continued, "We've sent out so many people, yet we haven't found her. Even your hacking abilities couldn't trace her. This is weird in itself. There haven't been any big names coming to stay in Parrington lately, so the one who made Stephanie disappear is most likely someone from here. If you look at this carefully, there really aren't a lot of choices left."

Gilbert's words opened up a new train of thought in Jenny's mind. Her face was grim as she continued typing on her keyboard. But this time, she didn't look for anything related to Stephanie. Instead, she started placing the focus on Paul Wagner.

She thought that if Paul knew about this and chose to hide it, it meant he had something to do with it. If she could find his whereabouts, she could have her answers.

At this thought, Jenny's confidence bloomed. She had to find Stephanie.

She found things out quicker than she expected. After simply looking up Paul's comings and goings these past few days, she found the route that Stephanie had taken.

Things were not as she expected. Paul was not covering for anyone but himself. Stephanie was right there in his villa!

Right this moment, an unpleasant feeling washed over her.

"Paul probably didn't expect you to investigate him, so he didn't tamper with his surveillance cameras." Gilbert looked at Paul's villa through the monitor. Stephanie had walked in and never came back out. Jenny didn't speak. Gilbert pressed on, "Paul is Alec Faust's friend. Who knows if Alec is in the dark about this or if he's covering up for Paul.”
