Dexter moved swiftly. “Another matter has come up. Where’s Mr. Dalton?”

“We couldn’t find anything on him. The merchandise was a feint, so we had no choice but to let him go.”

Dexter walked straight to the car. “I need to head back to Rivodia immediately. I’m leaving Wavery in your hands.”

Caleb looked puzzled. “What? Something wrong with Arnold?”

Dexter didn’t have time to explain further. Seeing the situation, Calvin, who was not far off, promptly took the driver’s seat. “I’ll drive you there.”

Once he got in the car, Dexter noticed several missed calls from Justin. He took a few deep breaths before returning the call. “What’s going on?”

When Justin finally got through, he said, “Grape is missing. She was insisting on seeing you guys. I thought I’d take her out for a bit of fun. We had three or four bodyguards with us, but she vanished in the blink of an eye. We can’t even find her on the surveillance footage.”
