In three days, Nell would have received the news and would already have a way to deal with her.
Even if she managed to apprehend Nell, it would not help with anything.
Would it not be useless then?
Celine was on the brink of a nervous breakdown.
However, the person still insisted on keeping her there, forbidding her to leave.
She would only be freed after three days.
After the initial struggle, Celine calmed down slowly.
She looked at the lady in front of her and thought of the possibilities that could happen in the next three days. Suddenly, her eyes brightened, as though she had an idea.
“Are you from the Garrett family?”
Sure enough, the lady in front moved uncomfortably.
“Nonsense! I have nothing to do with the Garrett family!”
“I don’t believe you. If you’re not from the Garrett family, why do you insist on locking me here for three days? Could you be Stephanie Garrett?”
The lady snorted.
“Stephanie Garrett is nothing! She’s only an unwanted bastard child, don’t compare her with me!
I won’t reveal my identity. I still have things to do so I’m leaving now.”
After that, she turned around and left.
Celine became anxious.
“Don’t leave, let me go! Don’t you know imprisoning someone against their will is illegal, I can sue you.”
The lady stopped in her tracks and snorted.
“You do realize this is illegal? But you don’t seem to understand this when you did the same a few days ago.”
Celine was speechless.
The other party left.
She sat on the ground in agony as her brain felt like it was about to explode and she felt an invisible oppression. Celine was on the verge of breaking down.
After a long while, she slowly eased up.
Leaning against the wall, she took a few deep breaths.
No, she could not give up.
There was still hope.
That person did not want to kill her. As long as she was alive, she would think of a way to escape.
Nell Jennings, just wait and see!
If she was able to escape, she would personally drag her out of that place!
On the side, Sally could not locate Celine and it was driving her crazy.
Not only her, but the entire Jennings family was also worried sick.
There was no other reason. It was because the people from the capital would arrive in the afternoon for the negotiation.
Now that only a few hours were left before they arrived, Celine was still missing.
How would they not be nervous?
Sylvia yelled, “I’m going to ask that b*tch again, no matter what, this is the most important thing now. If she’s unwilling to tell, I’ll reveal to the media that she hid Celine, then I’ll see what she would do then!”
Sally looked embarrassed.
“Why don’t we be straightforward with them?”
Sylvia looked at her viciously.
“What else would she say? That b*tch! Looks like she needs a lesson, once I find out where she is, I will…”
Hannah, who was standing beside her, rolled her eyes and snickered.
“Both of them are your granddaughters. Listen to what you are saying, one is missing and you’re not concerned at all. The other one is missing and you’re a nervous wreck, I wonder who is the b*tch!”
Shaun Jennings could not hold it anymore.
“What did you just say? Do you believe I’ll tear your mouth out if you dare to continue this nonsense!”
Hannah looked calm. “Oh? You can try, this is Xinghui and not Jennings Corporation, try and see if you can tear my mouth out!”
“You!”
“Enough!”
Sylvia stopped him and looked coldly at Hannah, then said, “Don’t waste your breath talking to this dog! Let’s leave!”
Sally was still not satisfied.
“Mom, didn’t she tell you where Celine is? Then what are we going to do when we get back? Those people are coming in the afternoon…”
“We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
Sylvia left unsuccessfully again.
After Nell heard Hannah’s report, she felt that this incident was extraordinarily strange.
By the look of their reaction, Celine was really missing!
Since Celine was looking for her, then she must have disappeared along the way from Jingchen to Tranquil Dwelling, but where would she be?
Nell thought deeply for a while and went to Gideon’s study.
Gideon was handling his work so Nell did not bother him and walked straight to a short rack beside the book shelf to pull out a detailed map.
