Chapter 1080 Where Did You Hide It

His eyes glinting, Bastien questioned coldly, “Why aren’t you answering the call, Major General Sutton?”

Jerome glanced at his phone. “Please excuse me while I take this call, Prince Jonathan.”

I’ve pondered for a long time, but I can’t think of anyone who’d do such a thing. I don’t have any leads at the moment, so I’d like to seek your help to investigate this matter.”
