The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 769
As the rain continued to pour, the small fleet of technicals sped down the highway.
Cedrick gripped his phone nervously, still trying to get through to Gwendolyn’s phone.
Out of service… Argh! Why is the phone still out of service?
Swain showed Cedrick a screenshot of the GPS location, and the latter couldn’t stop staring at the red dot on the map, wishing he could see his wife soon.
“Boss…” Swain uttered while driving, only to stop when he caught of glimpse of Cedrick through the rearview mirror.
“Speak.”
“Throughout the first half of the night, Mrs. Jenson’s phone only went online in that one instance. Don’t you think that’s pretty fishy? I doubt we can find any clues when we reach Xanthon Highway…”
Cedrick pursed his lips in thought, and it wasn’t difficult to tell from his clenched jaw that he was suppressing his anxiety.
“Stop spouting nonsense. Contact Xanthon’s border patrol immediately. They can reach Xanthon Highway in a little over ten minutes, so have them seal off the entire road. No one, not even a bird, can leave the area.”
“Understood.”
Swain kept a hand on the steering wheel while skillfully tapping his Bluetooth headset with the other to contact the border patrol and relay Cedrick’s orders.
Frustratingly enough, the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.
As the fleet of vehicles neared Xanthon Highway, Cedrick glanced at the darkness outside the window and discreetly smelled himself.
“Swain, is the cigarette smell on me obvious?”
Swain shook his head. “You’ve stumped me, Boss. I’m used to it since I’m also a smoker. But… I suppose there isn’t much difference from how you smelled in the day.”
Cedrick rolled his eyes. Ugh. Why did I even bother asking him?
