Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 499

Maddox took security seriously, so on the surface, it was just Joana and the cameraman strolling together, but he had also arranged for bodyguards to follow them.

Joana was such a scaredy-cat, she probably wouldn't wander too far, but the fact that she hadn't returned for so long was quite suspicious.

The production team noticed Joana's disappearance and had already sent out a search party, but there was no trace of her to be found.

No one dared to make a fuss, but inside, they were freaking out. In these thick woods, a disappearance was definitely not a good sign.

The bodyguards and the cameraman were hulking brutes; it was impossible for them to vanish without a trace.

The walkie-talkie crackled to life, and after a few bursts of static, the voice of the patrol team came through. "This is Patrol Team Three. We haven't found Joana or the bodyguards and cameraman that were with her, but we found her watch dropped near their campsite."

Maddox's heart sank. Joana's watch was worth a small fortune, and she never took it off. "Keep looking," he instructed tersely.

Turning off the walkie-talkie, Maddox grabbed a stun baton and a flashlight and said to the bodyguards outside, "Everyone, follow me."

Jack panicked, "Boss, you can't go out there yourself!"

"If our guests are in trouble, how can I not go look for them?" Maddox's palms were sweaty. If anything happened to Joana, he'd never forgive himself.

The atmosphere had clearly taken a grim turn, and the online viewers noticed something was off. [Where's Joana?] they typed.

[Yeah, didn't she just go out to clear her head? Why hasn't she come back?]

[Did something happen?]
