Chapter 405
I knew Logan was pulling out all stops.
We kept digging through Catherine's driving logs. Finally, a breakthrough. At a certain intersection, we
spotted an anomaly in the travel path.
At this intersection, Catherine's car had taken a different turn than Jaylan's.
Logan slammed his hand on the desk, pointing at the monitor, "Right here! This is where things went
south. Do you see it?"
His eyes were bloodshot as he scanned the room before continuing, "Keep an eye on this intersection.
Rewind the footage. Look for any car with the same plate as Jaylan's."
After meticulous scrutiny, the staff indeed spotted it. Ahead of Catherine's erroneous route was Jaylan's
car. With a snap, the staff froze the frame, and everyone exhaled a sigh of relief.
I stared at the screen, puzzled.
Hannah spoke up with certainty, "Jaylan's car was swapped. A fake plate lured Catherine away!"
Suddenly, it clicked for me.
"No wonder we couldn't track them down. It's not just cunning; they were prepared, indicating they've
got enough people for a quick response," Hannah said, her gaze fixed on Logan.
Logan instructed the staff, "Keep tracking the car with Catherine!"
Catherine's car followed the one with Jaylan's plates, heading towards the outskirts.
As dusk turned to night and streetlights flickered on, the pursuit grew tough, and soon the vehicle
entered a blind spot and vanished.
Having pinpointed the location, Logan rushed out of the Department of Transportation.
Hannah and I hurried after him, my mind fixated on seeing Catherine first.
The anxiety was suffocating, my heart lodged in my throat. I asked Logan, "Why not grab Jaylan and
Renata? They must know where Catherine is."
"It's pointless. They'll just deny knowing anything about Catherine's whereabouts. We have no proof
the backup car is linked to them. We need evidence."
Logan seemed frustrated, rubbing his face. "Besides, there's a lot more to do. We need Jaylan on the
outside, playing this game of cat and mouse with Jerome."
Grinding my teeth, I said, "I'd rather lose everything than let him escape justice. We must find
Catherine quickly!"
Logan turned to me, understanding in his eyes, "Allie, I get where you're coming from, everyone does.
Jaylan must've met with Jerome, but we can't rush this. We need to let him strut around a bit longer.
Without drawing out Jerome's backers, he'll just keep getting away with it."
His words, tinged with resignation, hinted at something more.
They weren't just trying to retrieve what I wanted; they were leveraging the Medsafe Liyah Inc. situation
to pressure Jerome and Jaylan., and their ultimate goal was to uncover the mastermind behind them.
"But they're our fastest shot at finding Catherine!" I said urgently.
Her words left me speechless, my hands clenched in frustration as I fought to control my emotions.
I didn't even dare to imagine what was happening to Catherine right now. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Seeing my distress, Hannah gently patted my shoulder. "Since we've got a lead, we'll find Catherine
soon. Don't worry." Read at
"I understand," I said solemnly. "We'll be more careful in the future."
But right now, the priority was to find her.
