Chapter 551
The elevator was quiet and every sound was amplified.
But there was no Olivia's voice.
She seemed to have disappeared without a sound.
Everett stopped.
He paused for a few seconds.
And during these few seconds, everything seemed to be frozen in silence.
Everett let go of Olivia. In the darkness, there was only a click and a cluster of flames lit up.
Olivia's unconscious face appeared before Everett's eyes.
She frowned, her face was pale, and there was a faint pain on her face.
At this moment, Olivia, who no longer struggled, didn't have a chance to reject him.
She was very fragile.
Maybe he would break her easily.
Everett did not move. He looked at Olivia as if he were looking at something he had valued for a long time. He could not move his eyes.
After a long time, Everett closed the lid of the lighter and the elevator became dark again.
Preston went to the winery.
He called Olivia directly after he got out of the car.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy..." Busy?
Preston frowned.
He hung up, redialed, and walked into the winery.
But he stopped before he entered the winery.
He couldn't get through. He called her three times, but couldn't get through.
He looked at the cell phone and found the reception was very good.
So the reception was not the problem.
But why couldn't he get through?
Preston was worried.
He dialed another number and looked around.
Grace had just sat down at the Design Department and turned on her computer when her phone rang.
Grace took the phone and was surprised to see the name on the screen.
"Mr. Smith?"
"Grace, is Olivia with you?"
"No, Olivia is waiting for you at the winery. She asked me to come back first. I have just arrived at the company."
"What's wrong, Mr. Smith?"
Preston looked around and frowned. "Nothing. I am just asking."
Then she hung up the phone.
Olivia said she would wait for him at the winery, so she would do so. But now he couldn't get through, and Preston was worried.
Preston turned to look for the staff who were guarding the entrance to register.
"Check Olivia immediately. To see whether she left the winery?"
The winery now registered those people entering and leaving.
If Olivia left the winery, there would be a record.
"Okay, Mr. Smith."
The staff quickly checked the records.
"Mr. Smith, she didn't leave."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Preston was relieved. "OK."
Preston then entered the winery.
He was not so worried this time, but he didn't try to look for Olivia in this huge winery.
He made a call.
Soon a familiar voice came. "Hey, Preston."
"Dean, where are you now?"
"At the winery. Why are you asking? You're here?"
"Yes, I'm here. Where are you now? Can you come out?"
"Of course. I'll be right out."
"OK, I'll wait for you in the exhibition hall."
"OK."
Soon the phone hung up and Preston looked around, feeling uneasy.
He didn't know if it was the aftermath of Olivia's disappearance last time that caused him to worry now. As long as he knew that Olivia wasn't there, he felt worried. Preston pinched his eyebrows, wishing he was worrying for nothing.
Not long after, Dean came. "Hi, Preston."
Preston went over, hugged Dean, and said, "I am sorry. I need your help."
Preston went straight to the point and there was worry in his eyes.
Dean saw his panic and immediately asked, "What is it?"
"I couldn't reach an employee. I need to see the surveillance records."
"Oh, no problem, this way."
Dean had owned the winery, but he met with something later and had to sell the winery, so the winery was sold to Everett.
But for some reason, Everett sold it to Dean at the same price, so the winery was still owned by Dean.
This time, the new products were released at this winery, partly because this place was familiar, and partly because this place was suitable for the theme.
Soon the two of them went to the surveillance room, and Preston showed Olivia's photo to Dean.
Dean nodded and asked the security guards to get the surveillance records.
There were surveillance cameras almost everywhere in the winery, and it was easy to find the common people, except for those who were particularly good at avoiding surveillance cameras. Not long after, the two of them saw Olivia.
The moment he saw Olivia, Preston breathed a sigh of relief.
She was alone, but not taken away or missing.
He was relieved.
But soon, Preston frowned.
Olivia didn't come out after entering the elevator.
What happened?
Dean also realized this, so he immediately asked people to get the records of the elevators on every floor of the building where Olivia was, and then Preston's face changed.
Everett.
He saw Everett walking into the elevator.
Preston clenched his hand.
"Go on. Keeping watching."
His palms were clenched, and his heart pounded as he stared unblinkingly at the elevator in the monitor.
Olivia entered the elevator first, and then Everett entered. They were on different floors.
It was an accident.
However, Olivia's cell phone could not be got through although the reception was very good.
There was only one explanation. Olivia was in the elevator.
She had been in the elevator for a long time.
Thinking of this, Preston immediately took out his cell phone and called Olivia.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy now..."
Preston hung up the phone and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the records.
When the elevator reached the first floor and the basement, no one came out. Preston's face darkened. "Dean, where is this elevator?"
Dean's face changed two because the door of the elevator didn't open after they entered the elevator.
"I'll take you there."
Dean and Preston walked quickly to the elevator where Olivia and Everett were.
And Dean immediately made a call.
They hadn't come out for a long time. There must be something wrong with the elevator.
Of course, this was Dean's idea, because he didn't know about Everett and Olivia's relationship.
If he knew, he wouldn't think so.
