Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

405 Going to Sin city

Meanwhile, at the capital…

The incessant clicking sound of the keyboard could be heard in the large sitting room.

Jeslyn was seen pacing back and forth while chewing on her nails with a worried look on her face as she sometimes stopped to ask Rex about the process of his work.

Yellow also looked distraught as she stood behind Rex whose fingers were flying across his laptop with a dead serious look on his face.

“Brother–in–law, have you found anything?” Jeslyn asked for the umpteenth time.

“Jeslyn, keep calm, I’m sure the City is experiencing a glitch or something” Yellow tried to calm her down even though she knew it was a lie.

“No, I haven’t been able to talk to my Mom since yesterday. Also, everything happening is just too weird that I cannot see this as a coincidence… The other day, Piper was attacked by some unknown men when she went shopping with Kim. That same day, Brian resigned from the company without prior notice. Then at midnight, SIN City’s network suddenly went bad. It’s been almost 10 hours, yet the network isn’t back and no media has covered that… Big sister, I can feel it, something is wrong!”

Yellow sighed helplessly. She also knew something was wrong because she and Pink spoke when Hwang Min was with her. Then a few hours later, she called Pink again, but she didn’t answer until

now.

“Got it!” Rex yelled, drawing Jeslyn and Yellow’s attention.

They rushed to watch the screen, and a short clip of Pink entering and leaving Delight Hotel entered their sight. Another clip showed Brian going in and out, then one where Hwang Min went in too. That was all he could find.

“Why are they in clips? I thought you hacked the hotel’s CCTV. Jeslyn frowned.

“The footage was destroyed. I could only snatch this from the Dark Age organization’s database. The videos were saved in clips for some reason I don’t know. If my brother were here, he would have been able to-” he froze and slowly turned to look behind him, like he thought, Jeslyn looked gloomy.
