When Lexi returned, Natalia was nowhere to be found.
Lexi collapsed on the floor, so panic-stricken she'd forgotten to call the police.
What happened? She had a bad feeling when they went out to play this morning. No wonder they always felt like someone was following them. It wasn't a misperception. It must have been a premeditated setup.
Suddenly, Lexi recalled that it wasn't by chance that she wanted to see Natalia, but because she received a strange text message early in the morning. It said Natalia really missed her, and she thought Natalia was playing a prank, perhaps confined by Magnus and hinting at wanting to go out and play.
Now she suddenly got it. Her mind immediately went to Magnus. But she picked up the phone and didn't know his number. Frantic, Lexi didn't have time to think further and ran directly to Andersen Corporation.
"I'm sorry, non-employees are not allowed to enter. Please leave." The security guard in front of her blocked her way.
"Please, I really need to see Mr. Andersen. Something happened to his wife." Lexi cried pitifully, tears streaming down her face.
"Alright, I'll help you convey the message."
"Knock knock knock."
"Come in." Magnus didn't look up. His mood was already messed up by work.
"Sir, a young woman, around twenty years old, has just barged into the company. She says your wife is in danger." His secretary anxiously informed him.
Upon hearing this, Magnus suddenly looked up.
"What? Take me to see her." Without a second thought, Magnus wheeled himself out as quickly as possible.
When he arrived at the lobby, he saw a tearful young woman, sobbing heartbrokenly. Magnus' cold demeanor immediately overshadowed her urgent concerns, and Lexi stared at the man on the wheelchair.
"What happened? Where's Nat?" Magnus' gaze was as sharp as a sword, pointed directly at the tearful girl.
"I...I don't know. This morning when we went out, we felt like someone was following us. But we didn't pay attention. At the coffee shop, she took one sip of her coffee and fainted. I was frightened too. I went out to get help, but when I came back, she was gone." Lexi was clearly terrified, her speech disjointed and incoherent.
A flash of ferocity crossed Magnus' eyes. "I see." Magnus immediately thought of the desperate Lucius.
Lucius could mess with him, but dare to touch his woman, he'd make them all pay the price. Nat had better be okay, if she was even slightly hurt, he'd make them all pay.
He picked up the phone.
"Hello? Magnus, why are you calling us today? Feeling lonely? Natalia not satisfying you?" James joked.
"Cut the crap, my wife is missing, I suspect it's Lucius' doing. Go check on him. I'm going to kill him."
Natalia was his bottom line, anyone who touched her wouldn't be spared.
Upon hearing this, James instantly became serious. He pushed away the woman in his arms. "Missing? Alright. I'll check now." This was no small matter.
As James used his phone to track the location, he dialed Chase's number.
"Start phone tracking."
