Chapter 128 Human Traffickers

Deborah said that she was fine, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.

She couldn’t stand to see these chaotic scenes before, and sometimes she would get a headache

when she bumped into other people arguing on the road.

It was a real headache, and once she almost fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital by Joseph.

And those people who were quarreling were frightened by her, and they were completely confused.

Joseph told Deborah that it was because Deborah was injured in a car accident before that she

couldn’t bear the

slightest stimulation. As long as Deborah tried to avoid seeing these occasions, she would be fine.

As for her own family, Joseph never quarreled with Deborah. And when Joseph saw her face look a

little bit bad, his tone would immediately slow down a lot.

In three years, they never quarreled.

Mona was very worried and said, “You don’t seem to be fine like this. You are sweating. Are you sick?

Can you still stand up? How about I help you go to the hospital to have a look?”

Deborah kept her head on the table without moving, and her face was pitifully pale.

She also felt a little strange. The discomfort she felt this time seemed to be worse than any time

before.

Mona rushed to call Simone. “Simone, come and help. Deborah suddenly felt uncomfortable and

couldn’t stand up. You are strong. You can carry her to the hospital.”

A male designer sitting near Deborah immediately came over to help. “Deborah, I’ll carry you down.”

Because of the previous dispute, there was some confusion in the whole studio.

Many people stood up. Some were watching the dispute, hesitant to join in, while some went directly to

dissuade

Joseph and Ashton.

In the chaos, Deborah got up slowly against the table and said, “I’m fine. You can go about your

business. I’m going

to the bathroom.”

Behind this large studio, there was a small studio.

The space was not big, but it could isolate the noise from the outside, making it more silent.

It was also used to draw drafts for designers, and for employees to take short breaks. There was an

independent

bathroom inside.

Deborah got up, walked backward, opened the door, and entered the small studio, and then she

staggered into the

bathroom.

After locking the bathroom door, she put her hands on the sink, looked at her pale face in the mirror,

and sighed helplessly.

Joseph was involved in the dispute, and Deborah didn’t know why.

Unrelated employees could go forward to help and say something, but she couldn’t do anything.

If she went out, she would be his burden. Deborah simply stayed in the bathroom, waiting for the

dispute outside to

stop.

Outside, Joseph was still in conflict with Ashton, preventing Ashton from looking for Deborah.

Joseph deliberately blocked Ashton’s sight, because, from a distance, Joseph vaguely saw Deborah

getting up and entering the small studio.

They could not argue it out and almost fought.

Jett supposed that Ashton must have hallucinations again, so he stepped forward to dissuade him Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

anxiously, “Mr. Mullen, calm down. It’s not appropriate to make trouble here. When old Mr. Mullen finds

out later, he will get angry again.”

Ashton was stopped by Jeff and surrounded by Joseph and others, he growled, “I saw Deborah, Jeff. I

can’t leave before I turn this place upside down today to find her!”

Bill on the side was shocked. Deborah? Ashton was looking for Deborah?

What was the relationship between Ashton and Deborah? What kind of complicated situation was this?

Ashton brought a few bodyguards and stood guard outside the door.

He directly called the bodyguards in, and it seemed that Ashton would not stop unless he found

Deborah.

Some employees couldn’t bare it. There was no reason for their boss to be bullied on his own territory.

Although they didn’t know what was going on, many employees wanted to help.

This was the design studio, and most of the employees were female.

Joseph didn’t want to get them injured, so he said in a deep voice, “Sit down, everyone. Don’t

interfere.”

Ashton looked determined to act wildly, so Joseph stopped preventing him and said in a cold voice, “I

don’t want to scare my employees.

“Ashton, look for what you want now and get out when you’re done. From now on, you will never step

into my

company.”

Ashton didn’t care why Joseph stopped preventing him suddenly and immediately said to Jeff and the

bodyguards, “Search carefully. Deborah must be here.”

As Ashton said that, he began to look around himself.

Every location was carefully searched, and everyone was carefully checked, even under the

workstations.

Some employees were angry and said in a low voice, “That’s rude. It turns out that Mr. Mullen from

Richmond is more

like a rascal.”

“Exactly. After all, Mr. Black allowed Mr. Mullen to run amok here because he was kind and worried we

would be scared. If Mr. Mullen thought there was something hidden here, why didn’t he just call the

police?”

Ashton turned a deaf ear, looking for Deborah with a dark face.

There were hundreds of employees in the design studio, and Ashton looked carefully at every face.

He was worried that Deborah had been slightly altered because of her injuries, so he thought that even

a lookalike could have been her.

But of all these people he had not seen a face that even resembled Deborah’s.

Joseph looked at him indifferently and said, “Can you get out now?”

Ashton looked incredulous, but he was sure that what he had seen was not an illusion.

He looked around the design studio and quickly noticed the door at the back.

Joseph still didn’t stop him, but the moment Ashton walked in and pushed open the door, Joseph’s

heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, Joseph thought, it was meaningless to stop Ashton.

If Deborah was really inside, then at worst, Joseph would have to talk to Ashton alone and tell Ashton

the truth

directly.

Anyway, at this point, Ashton couldn’t let it go. Deborah would be found sooner or later.

What was more, it was Ashton who had done things wrong before, so why should Deborah be the one

hiding and running away?

The door was pushed open, and Ashton strode in.

Joseph then went in, and there was no sign of Deborah in the small studio where he had a panoramic

view.

At that moment, Joseph subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nowhere to hide anymore, for the design studio had only walls on all sides.

Ashton’s heart sank, and he raised his hand unwillingly to knock on the wall.

Joseph sneered and said, “What? You’re worried the walls are vacuum and could be used to hide

people??”

Ashton’s face was tense, and he didn’t say anything.

Joseph urged Ashton to leave and said in a cold voice, “My patience has a limit. One last time, get out,

or you will see whether the thousands of employees in this company can drive you away.”

Ashton went out reluctantly and searched carefully in the large studio outside again.

In the disgusted and dissatisfied eyes of all the employees, he finally had no choice but to give up.

Joseph waited coldly for him to leave.

Ashton’s expression was extremely stern. “This is your place. It’s not difficult for you to hide someone.

But I’m sure I

see her, and I will definitely find her.”

Ashton left and ordered Jeff, “Check the monitoring. The road monitoring, shopping mall monitoring,

and hospital monitoring in Oceanview City. Check all the monitoring that can be found.”

Although Joseph could hide Deborah now, Ashton was sure Joseph couldn’t have never let Deborah

out in all that time.

When Ashton finally left with a group of people, Joseph immediately walked to the small studio and

said, “Bill, take the employees here to a meeting.”

Bill didn’t understand immediately and said, “Mr. Black, there is no staff meeting scheduled today.”

As soon as Bill finished speaking, Morton reminded Bill, “Then Mr. Wayland, please arrange one now.”

Only then did Bill understand, and he immediately said to all the employees, “Come on, everyone, get

ready and follow me to the conference room for an impromptu meeting.”

Joseph quickly stepped into the small studio. He knew that he couldn’t hide Deborah from Ashton any

longer.

If Ashton went to check the surveillance, he would definitely find Deborah.

For three years Joseph had never restricted Deborah, and she was free to go wherever she wanted.

Therefore, whether Deborah was shopping, eating, drinking, commuting to work, or going to the

hospital, wherever there was surveillance, there must have been these images.

As long as Ashton tried to check the monitoring and information, he would find Deborah easily and

quickly.

Joseph knew very well what he would face soon.

Given Joseph’s knowledge of Ashton, it was highly likely that Ashton would sue Joseph directly for

abducting his wife.

And make no mistake, the evidence is overwhelming.

This was not a small crime, and if the sentence was heavy, the sentence could be equal to that given to

the human

traffickers.

In the small studio, there was a row of newly designed clothes.

Joseph walked over and removed the row of clothes, revealing a door with the same color as the wall.

He pushed open the door, and inside was the bathroom.

Deborah squatted in the corner next to the sink, looking at a loss. And hier entire face was pale, and

her forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Seeing Joseph coming in, her eyes lit up immediately, and she got up anxiously and rushed towards

him.

Joseph hugged her, touched her hot forehead, picked her up, and walked out. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
