Stella shook her head, her face pale.
“Roger is missing...”
Weston was stunned for a moment, but he quickly stroked her hair, kissed, and reassured her.
“Calm down and get in touch with his classmates.”
“I just did.”
Stella subsequently related to him the conversation she had with Riley
“They said the current conditions are insufficient to call the police. I just called their school to ask, and
they said that Roger was on a regular break, and it wasn‘t over yet. They would only investigate if he
doesn‘t return after his break ends...”
Weston listened with darkened eyes.
He raised his hand and patted her head with his big palm. “Don‘t worry. I’ll send someone to
investigate.”
Right now, Stella wasn‘t in the mood to care about anything else.
“Thank you...” she said and nodded.
The man paused for a while, then sighed lightly. “Stella, you are my wife. You don‘t need to thank me.”
Stella was taken aback for a moment as though she didn‘t expect him to say such a thing.
She lowered her eyes and replied, “Yeah.”
Roger was now her only family member, and Weston knew how important he was to her. Without
hesitation, he immediately sent someone to Compassvale to investigate.
In no time, he got back to them.
“Mr. Ford, we checked the customs and major ferries, but there are no records of Roger...”
Stella could everything even though Weston was trying to hide it from her.
“How come there are no records? Does that mean he is still there?”
She was anxious, and her whole body was in a trance. “If he is, why couldn‘t his teachers and
classmates find him? Where did he go?!”
“Calm down.”
Weston held her shaking shoulders and hugged her in his arms.” In the current situation, it‘s pointless to
be anxious.”
Stella knew this too.
But...
Her heart felt hollow and empty.
She closed her eyes. If something happened to him...
A glimmer flashed across Weston‘s cold eyes as he quickly ordered, “Investigate the people around him
and all the places
he might‘ve gone.”
Ben knew that it was Stella‘s younger brother who had gone missing and understood the gravity of the
situation.
“Understood!” he replied solemnly.
However, several days later, there was not a single trace of Roger.
While Weston‘s business was based in Eclad, Compassvale was located on the Abron border.
Hence, his men needed time to get there.
But from the current search, it seemed that Roger wasn‘t in the country. But there was no record of him
going out of the country.
Suddenly, Weston thought of something.
Both Roger and Stella had new identities now.
Before this, they went by another identity.
With that in mind, he quickly sent out new orders. “Use their original identities to check the customs
clearance records.”
Stella also thought of this. “Yes, he might‘ve used his previous identity...”
But could it still be used?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Weston tucked her loose hair behind her ear and said, “Generally, it
can’t, but it‘s our only lead now.”
In the past few days, Stella had slept little.
She could never feel at ease as long she didn‘t get news about Roger.
In the study room.
Ben would come over from time to time to report the latest with somewhat embarrassed expressions.
“Even if you wish to find Roger, it will take a while... but the wedding date is approaching... and the
project for the next
quarter will be commencing soon...”
He didn‘t mention the rest.
