196 What Brings You Here?

A white Land Rover roared was roaring on the road in North Town, a small remote fishing village.

Wayne was about to arrive at the location Karl had sent him.

In the light of headlights, he saw a car parked on the far corner. Under the light, the silver Audi logo on the car’s rear glistened.

Wayne’s heart skipped a beat as he slammed on the brakes.

When he quickly walked over to that car, he found no one inside. He noticed that the hood of the front of the car was up, and the

bumper was torn apart. As Wayne looked around, he saw a streak of dried blood on the ground.

At that moment, he felt his heart had plummeted into an abyss, and he was on the verge of collapsing.

“Anna!” He snarled at the barren wasteland. The only thing that responded to him was the chilly, howling wind that blew across the

mountains.

The blood on the ground looked hideous and gruesome. Wayne’s legs were weak, so he slowly crouched while gripping the hood. His

fine suit pants were smeared with blood and dust as his knees touched the concrete pavement.

The moonlight gleamed on the puddle of blood, reflecting his pale face. As much as he tried to keep his sanity, he couldn’t help but

think of the worst case scenario.

Wayne regretted all the things he had done. He clenched his fists and wanted to punch himself.

God! Anna would not have resigned and started her own business if I hadn‘t gotten angry with her and hurther so deeply! Nothing would have happened if she hadn‘t left the hotel! Wayne thought to himself.

“Wayne! What brings you here?” Wayne heard a gentle voice coming from above his head like a ghost. Then, he was stunned.

When he looked up, he saw Anna standing in front of him with an astonished face. Also, she looked totally fine.

Anna just left the place and walked around, trying to find a signal. However, she didn’t find it even after walking for half an hour.

When she found that her phone was almost out of battery, she was afraid that she would be in danger. So, she instantly rushed
