Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 396

He'd assumed she'd gone back to her room after her bathroom break, so he'd continued drinking up until now, before heading upstairs.

Then a thought struck him! Could she have...run away?!

There was nothing but forest for over a hundred kilometers around!

How could she get out of the forest with her frail body?!

He clenched his fists tightly, spinning around to head downstairs.

"Mr. Bourne! I'll check the security footage right away to see when she escaped!"

The bodyguard immediately spoke up after realizing Violette was missing, "It's dark out there, there's no streetlights, she couldn't have gotten far!"

"A bunch of idiots! Can't even keep an eye on a woman!" Elijah spat out between gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry! I'll send someone to find her right away! I promise we'll have her back before dawn!" The bodyguard assured him with a terrified look on his face.

Elijah was completely sober!

He was more than sober now.

He even had a strong gutfeeling!

"She must have left before midnight! I came back from the bathroom before midnight and found her gone, she must have escaped then!" He guessed, "Check the footage before midnight! There must have been someone helping her! She couldn't have left this mansion alone!"

Bodyguard: "I was thinking the same thing."

All those who came to the event that night were Elijah's close friends.

They were the people Elijah had met when he made his first fortune. Although they didn't interact much afterwards, they kept in touch.

On the first floor, people were still drinking.

Elijah's gaze was fixed on one person.

Before Violette disappeared that night, she was sitting next to this man.

He had initially thought she just picked a random place to sit, but now that she was gone... it indicated she might have picked her spot deliberately.
