Chapter 679 Here Comes Veronica (42)
Hearing what Raymond said, Marie suddenly became nervous.
She looked at Raymond worriedly. "Mr. Cordova, Veronica hasn't returned since she left the translation office. Did something happen to her?" "Maybe she went somewhere for fun."
"Veronica knows what she should do. She won't come back just because she wants to have fun. In the past, she would call me every time around 5:30 and tell me when she would come back. However, she hasn't called back yet. Something must have happened."
Raymond thought of something and made a phone call.
Someone quickly answered the call.
"Hello, Raymond, why are you calling me at this time?" The person who answered the phone was Edwin.
"Stella used to be a maid in your manor. You must have her phone number. Give me her number."
When Edwin heard Raymond say this, he smiled and teased, "Hey, you changed your taste again. I thought you treated Veronica differently. Have you taken a fancy to her friend? Veronica is your maid, and you often meet each other. Aren't you afraid that Veronica will be jealous?"
"I need Stella's phone number for something important. Give me her phone number immediately."
"What is it? Tell me about it."
"Veronica's whereabouts are unknown. I don't know where she is, and I can't get through to her phone. I want to ask Stella if she knows anything about Veronica."
"Heavens! Veronica is missing. Wait a minute. I'll get the number right away."
Edwin quickly hung up. Three minutes later, Edwin sent Raymond a phone number.
Stella was shocked when she received Raymond's call.
"What did you say? Veronica hasn't returned yet?" Stella asked in surprise.
Raymond frowned.
Telling from Stella's tone, Raymond guessed that Stella probably did not know where Veronica was either.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Did she tell you anything today?" Raymond asked.
"No. Because the translation office Veronica went to apply for today didn't need any more employees, Veronica was in a low mood. I comforted her, and then I hung up. We didn't say anything else." Raymond's eyes moved.
Veronica was in a bad mood because she couldn't get a job in the translation office. So, she hid herself?
In Raymond's impression, Veronica was tenacious and strong. She would not give up on herself just because of such a small blow.
She might have encountered something.
Since Raymond could not get any clue from the people around Veronica, he could only use other methods.
He made a phone call and said with a sullen face, "Investigate the surveillance cameras near the translation office at nine o'clock this morning. And go to the relevant telecommunications company to investigate who Veronica called at around nine o'clock this morning."
"Yes!"
After receiving Raymond's order, the one on the other end of the line quickly gave Raymond a reply.
It turned out that Veronica received a call not far from the Cordova Group. After receiving the call, Veronica hurriedly got into the car and left.
The person who called Veronica was Veronica's cousin, Dora.
Raymond had some impression of Dora.
He once heard Dora's voice. It was very sharp and unkind.
Why did Dora call Veronica?
Thinking of this, Raymond called Dora.
The call was quickly picked up.
"Hey, who is it?" Dora's soft voice came from the other side of the line. Raymond felt goosebumps rise on his back when he heard this voice.
"I want to ask you something."
"Sir, your voice sounds nice. What do you want to ask me?"
"Did you call Veronica?"
"Yes, so what? Who are you? Are you Veronica's admirer?"
"Let me ask you. What did you tell her?"
Dora spoke with an innocent tone, "What can I say? I just chatted with Veronica. Veronica didn't tell you, so you call me. It's funny."
"Dora, I'm warning you one last time. You'd better tell me what you talked about and where you told her to go."
Dora suddenly became excited.
"From what you're saying, Veronica hasn't come down the mountain yet, right?"
"Mountain?"
"Yes." Dora said without hiding anything, "I placed Shirley's signature book that she left at my place in the Summer Hutt on North Mountain. I thought that she would not go to Summer Hut on North Mountain for a book. I never expected that she would go there."
Veronica admired Shirley the most. Veronica kept all the books that Shirley signed. Even if any book was broken, her eyes would turn red in depression.
Now... Dora placed Veronica's book in the Summer Hut. How could Veronica possibly let that book stay in that place?
Near the Summer Hut was a famous maze forest.
Things got serious. It was not because of how powerful the forest near the Summer Hut was, but because there were many Datura flowers near it. This kind of flower would give one an illusion. There was a ho spring in the Summer Hut, and the environment next to it was warm. Even in winter, it was as warm as summer. Therefore, the house built there was called the Summer Hut.
Datura flowers were adaptable. In addition, the environment there was very suitable. Therefore, the Datura flowers grew vigorously near the Summer Hut. After one went there, they would be affected and hallucinate.
After going to the Summer Hut, one would be lost not because they could not find the exit, but because they were confused by Datura flowers. So, they could not find the exit.
If one stayed in the Summer Hut and was exposed to the powder of Datura flowers for too long, one's life would be in danger.
The Summer Hut was dangerous for many travelers. The area of the Summer Hut was a private place. The owner loved Datura flowers. Even if one wanted to destroy the dangerous Datura flower, no one was qualified to do it. In the end, the staff of the scenic area put a ban on all the roads to the Summer Hut.
Many people wanted to take risks, so the staff of North Mountain would put on gas masks every day. They would take a look at Summer Hut and check if there were any travelers trapped nearby. If there were, the staff would bring them out immediately.
So, nothing had happened around the Summer Hut.
Today, Veronica had not been discovered. Probably because it was raining at night, the staff thought that no one would go to the Summer Hut on rainy days. So, they did not notice her.
