"No."
Joyce subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I don't know yet. It's a little strange. Rachel was supposed to return to Khebury last night, and the municipal government had arranged for a vehicle to take her back. However, she didn't take the car and didn't say anything in the end. The driver told me that this morning."
Juanita said.
"Could she have gone back on her own? I went around the venue last night and didn't see Rachel either. However, I left before the award ceremony. Was Rachel at the award ceremony last night?" Joyce asked.
"No. I asked the staff and Rachel was not there last night."
Juanita said, "I called Rachel, and she didn't answer my call. I just called the orphanage and they said Rachel wasn’t back yet. That's odd. By all accounts, if Rachel was going back on her own, she should have long been back to Khebury."
Joyce looked at her watch, "It's still early, but there's no way Rachel is still sleeping. I remember she always woke up so early. She must have woken up after five."
"The government invited Rachel, and now we could not even find her. How should we explain to the orphanage."
Juanita was worried, "Rachel's so old. Where would she even go?"
"How about checking the surveillance of the venue?" Joyce suggested.
"We have checked the surveillance for the venue. Although Rachel appeared in the surveillance, after 9:30, we did not see her again, and she was nowhere to be found. As for the surveillance of outside the venue, after all, it’s not 24 hours yet, so we still could not report it to the police as a missing person case, and we have no right to check the surveillance."
Juanita said.
"Only wait and see."
Joyce frowned, "There's no way something could happen to Rachel at a charity party."
