Chapter 1268


    Chapter 1268 It was obvious that John had not given up on Sherry. From that day onward, Sylvia always made sure to instruct


    Jacob to take another route every time she went to Sherry. She took special care to avoid heading down the route where she


    saw John‘s menst time.


    The days passed by without trouble.


    Eventually, Sherry was discharged from the hospital and went to a confinement center near the hospital.


    One particr morning, Sylvia took a car to the confinement center as usual. However, the traffic was significantly worse today


    since there was a newly opened shopping mall in the area. There were a lot of cars on the road and traffic was heavy.


    They were only two hundred meters away from the confinement center, and traffic was at a standstill.


    After waiting more than ten minutes without moving even an inch, she lost her patience and decided that it would be easier to get


    out of the car and walk to the confinement center. She stepped out of the car with a set of new clothes she had bought for


    Sherry‘s baby in tow.


    Meanwhile, there were several men dressed casually and walking along the roadside. From time to time, they


    would nce at the heavily congested road.


    It was now nearing the tail end of the summer, and fall would be soon approaching. Despite that, the weather was still rather hot


    and dry. They began to sweat after only a short walk.


    One of them wiped away the sweat pooled on his forehead and remarked, “We''ve been patrolling this area for more than twenty


    days by this point, and we''ve gone to every single hotel and residential area without finding any signs of Miss Sherry. Hell, we


    haven''t even seen anyone who remotely resembles her. This area must be a dead end.”


    “It''s Master Stockton‘s direct orders, so who are we to oppose him? Just do the job you''re paid to do.” “But what if we never find


    her? Will Master Stockton me us for not doing our job well?”


    “Let''s do our best... Huh? Isn‘t that Mrs. Carter?”


    One of the men spotted a familiar figure from the corner of his eye and immediately brought everyone''s attention to a person on


    the sidewalk. Two of his partners quickly pulled him around a corner on the street where they could safely spy on the said person


    without drawing attention. After observing the figure for a while, a smile began to form on their faces.


    “It is Mrs. Carter, | recognize her. Let''s follow her.”


    “Be careful. Don''t let her see us.”


    “Got it.”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With that, they began their mission and tailed Sylvia until they reached the confinement center.


    Downtown nchester, in Stockton Tower, an important board of directors meeting was underway.


    Seated at the head of the conference table was John in a tailored suit. He sat in a princely manner and was toying around with a


    pen in one hand while listening to the reports ryed to him by the members of the senior management team.


    Suddenly , Peter stepped into the conference room and quickly approached him. He bent down and carefully whispered in his


    ear, “Sir, there''s news from Westchester.


    ck!


    The pen John was toying with fell on the table. The directors who were in the middle of their presentation paused and looked at


    him.


    John straightened his expression and informed them with a swift smile, “There‘s something | need to deal with.


    The meeting is postponed, and we will pick up where we left off after |e back.” With that, he rose and left without any further


    discussion.


    Peter followed him closely and promptly informed him after they stepped out of the conference room, “This morning, the men that


    | appointed to locate Mrs. Sherry at Westchester happened to spot Mrs. Carter walking down the city center. They figured that


    she must have decided to travel on foot to avoid having to sit through the hectic traffic. They carefully followed her until she


    entered a confinement center.”


    Aconfinement center?


    Something shed in John‘s eyes, and he urged Peter to continue, “And then?”


    Peter ryed ordingly, “The confinement center has very strict security protocols, so our men could not get inside. They


    waited outside until past noon when they finally saw Mrs. Carter emerge. They said that she was carrying arge bag that


    seemed to contain clothes when she entered, but by the time she left the ce, her hands were empty. | think it is safe to deduct


    that she went in to pay someone a visit and to drop off some gifts.”


    She went to a confinement center to see someone?


    The only time someone would go to the confinement center to visit someone was if thetter was a mother who had just given


    birth.


    John thought about it intently. He remembered the scene roughly twenty days ago when Sylvia had received a call and suddenly


    left the house in a hurry, only to return the day after. A sharp look appeared in his eyes. He immediately beelined for the elevator


    while giving orders to Peter who was following him, “Tell them to keep an eye on the confinement center. | will be right there.”


    “Yes, sir.” A thought suddenly urred to Peter, and he cautiously informed John, “But, sir, the meeting...” “The meeting is


    canceled. We''ll decide when | get back.”
