Chapter 144: Wesley Goes to Find Elaine

Thinking like this, Wesley immediately got up and strode out of the office. Ignoring the questions from his assistant and bodyguard, Wesley drove straight to Katrina's house alone. He knew that Elaine had been staying there recently. But when he arrived, he found it empty. Had she already left? His heart felt heavy, as if he had once again harmed her, once again lost her. Taking out his phone from his pocket, Wesley dialed his subordinate's number. "Within ten minutes, I want to know Elaine's whereabouts," he said, not giving anyone a chance to plead, then hung up the phone. For the next ten minutes, Wesley waited outside Katrina's house. Suddenly, he thought of someone. Would Katrina know where Elaine had gone? Their relationship was so close, Elaine would have told her where she was going. So Wesley quickly dialed Daniel's number. At that moment, Daniel was sitting on the sofa with Katrina, eating chips and watching a movie. When he heard the phone ring, he sighed irritably. "Who's bothering us at this time?" Seeing it was Wesley's call, Daniel sat up straight. He answered the phone, "Brother? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong at home? I've already cut ties with the family, and you..." Without waiting for Daniel to finish his nonsense, Wesley interrupted him, "Is Katrina with you? I need to talk to her, let her take the call." Daniel was stunned, thinking Wesley also wanted to persuade Katrina to leave him, so he said, "She, she's a bit busy right now. You can tell me if you have something to say, and I'll relay it to her." Wesley said directly, "It's about Elaine. I need to ask her." Daniel, relieved that it was about Elaine, immediately handed the phone to Katrina. "My brother needs to talk to you." Katrina, hearing Daniel's words, was somewhat incredulous. She had no connection with Wesley. What could he want with her? Though puzzled, Katrina still took the phone from Daniel. "Wesley?" Hearing Katrina's voice, Wesley immediately asked anxiously, "Do you know where Elaine is? I have something very important to tell her." Katrina replied calmly, "She's right here at my house." Wesley's heart sank halfway. It seemed Katrina really didn't know that Elaine had left. Nevertheless, he still held onto a shred of hope. What if Katrina was lying to him? "Do you really not know where she went? If you do, please tell me," he pleaded. "Those things weren't done by me. She misunderstood me, and I need to explain to her and send someone to protect her," Wesley said. After hearing Wesley's words, Katrina learned a truth: Elaine was in danger and missing! "What happened to Elaine? You tell me right now," Katrina grabbed the remote from Daniel's hand, turned off the TV, and yelled at Wesley. "Someone killed Elaine's baby," Wesley said, his heart aching. He knew it had to be related to him; otherwise, Elaine wouldn't have said that. "What?! Are you saying Elaine was pregnant?" Katrina was shocked. She yelled at Wesley angrily, "Wesley, it must be someone from the Howard family. How incompetent are you to not even protect your own child! No wonder Elaine wants to leave you." Wesley didn't say anything. He squatted down, silently shedding tears. Katrina was right. He was too incompetent to protect his beloved woman and child. "Aren't you supposed to have many subordinates? Hurry and send them to find her," Katrina commanded Wesley. Wesley immediately said, "I've already sent people to investigate. I just wanted to ask if you knew anything." Katrina cursed, "Of course, I don't know anything. I didn't even know she was pregnant. If I had known, I would have rushed over to scold you!" Wesley said immediately, "This is my fault. I owe Elaine too much. If you hear from Elaine and she tells you her location, please let me know." Katrina snorted impatiently and hung up the phone. She was very angry now. Angry at Elaine for not telling her anything, and angry at Wesley for making Elaine suffer like this. After hanging up the phone, Katrina raised her hand to throw her phone, and Daniel quickly caught it. "Dear, calm down. The phone is innocent." "Is Elaine missing? Why don't you try calling her?" Katrina had just been so angry that she almost forgot to call Elaine. Picking up her phone, Katrina quickly dialed Elaine's number. "Hello, Katrina," Elaine answered the phone, pretending as if nothing had happened, her voice very calm. Katrina knew she was pretending and said directly, "Wesley just called me. He said something important to tell you, and he said it wasn't him who did that thing." "Elaine, why didn't you tell me anything? Are we not friends anymore?" Elaine smiled and said to Katrina, "Whether he did it or not doesn't matter anymore. I don't need his explanation. Right now, I just want to stay far away from him and never see him again in my life." Katrina thought Elaine was right, and she pretended to be angry again, "What about me? Why didn't you tell me anything? Where are you now? Are you safe?" "I'm safe. I'm about to fly to Hua Country. I probably won't be back for a short time. I'm sorry, Katrina. Because it happened suddenly, I wanted to tell you after the plane landed," Elaine said. Katrina heard that Elaine was safe, and she felt relieved. "It's okay as long as you're safe. Call me when you arrive to let me know, okay?" "Okay, I'm boarding now. I won't talk to you for now," Elaine said and hung up the phone. She leaned back in her chair, anxiously looking at her boarding pass. Elaine knew that since Wesley had found Katrina, it meant he must have sent someone to find her. She had to leave here quickly. On the other side, Wesley learned from his subordinates that Elaine was flying to Hua Country, so he immediately drove to the airport. Once Elaine went to Hua Country, it was so vast, with so many cities. It would be really difficult for him to find her quickly with his own power. "Elaine, please wait for me, wait for my explanation, wait for my apology. I beg you," Wesley silently prayed in his heart.
