Chapter 436
Not wanting to interrupt Ellinor Mendoza’s sweel dreams, Theo Blanchet prepared to leave the room to rest in his study as usual. Just as he was about to exit the room, he suddenly realized something was off. There was no sound of breathing in the room
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned on the light He looked around to find that the room was empty!
He strode forward and yanked the covers off the bed and it was bare!
Where the hell was Ellinor at this ungodly hour?
He immediately took out his phone to call her, but the phone on the bedside table rang
That was his phone, which he had given to her. How could she have left without her phone this late at night?
A sudden premonition hit Theo. He turned around and opened the wardrobe. There wasn’t a single piece of women’s clothing inside.
Theo’s pupils constricted, and he barked, “Get someone in here!”
Upon hearing this. Devin hurried over, “Mr. Blanchet, what’s wrong?”
Theo shot him a cold glare, “Where is she?”
Devin looked confused. He glanced around the room but saw no sign of Ellinor, then he looked at the wardrobe full of men’s clothing and instantly felt a sense of unease.
“Mr. Blanchet, Ellinor went to her room to rest after dinner. I didn’t see her go downstairs at all! Because she’s been quite sleepy lately, she goes to bed very early. I even specifically told everyone not to disturb her”
Theo’s jaw tightened, “Go find her! Don’t bother coming back if you can’t find her!”
Devin quickly agreed, “Yes, Mr. Blanchet, don’t worry, we’ll find Ellinor!”
But by dawn, they found no trace of Ellinor, and none of the Blanchet family’s security cameras captured her leaving.
Theo sat defeated on the couch; he was silent and his eyes were bloodshot.
Ellinor had run away
She had cleverly avoided all camera angles and slipped out without being noticed.
How badly did she not want him to find her? Had she meticulously planned this escape?
The Blanchet family’s butlers, servants, and maids stood anxiously to one side, waiting for Mr. Blanchet’s order, as they had failed to find Ellinor.
The tension in the room was palpable; at the slightest sound from Theo, they were ready to beg for mercy.
Collin rushed in, reporting, “Mr. Blanchet, there’s no sign of Ellinor at the airport, train station, or hotels. The Mendoza family hasn’t seen her either. They said she did come home yesterday morning but left shortly after I delivered your gifts. They haven’t seen her since.”
Theo leaned back on the couch, one hand supporting his forehead, looking weary, aloof, and ruthless, as if the fate of the world rested on his shoulders.
After a moment, Devin summoned his courage to speak, “Mr. Blanchet! Ellinor had a lot of stuff delivered yesterday morning, probably the gifts Collin mentioned. I had them put in the storage room!”
Theo narrowed his eyes but said nothing.
“Mr. Blanchet, it seems that Ellinor didn’t take anything with her except the paintings you gave her.”
She left no trace and even returned the wedding gifts!
