Chapter 165 Plot Within a Plot (Part 2)

Olivia lay on the bed with her body temperature rising, and she felt increasingly weak. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

In a panic, she dialed Max's number.

"Hello," a deep voice answered on the other end.

"Max, it's me, Olivia. I... I've been drugged at The Grand Plaza Hotel, Room 802. Please, hurry and save me."

"Olivia, you can call the police or your Uncle Curtis..."

"No, Max, I need you to save me..."

Olivia writhed on the bed in intense discomfort. Before she could finish speaking, Max heartlessly hung up the phone.

Struggling to her feet, she made her way unsteadily to the hotel room door. As she was about to touch the doorknob, she hesitated and retracted.

"Max, I don't believe you won't come to save me! I'm betting on you!"

With that, Olivia gritted her teeth and returned to the bed. She smoothed out her beautiful red dress, imagining the moment when Max would kick the door open. A slight smile instinctively played on her lips.

After all these years, this day had finally come.

...

Meanwhile, in the hotel corridor, Adeline caught a glimpse of Jonathan's figure, fleeting like a shadow.

Intermittent cries of a girl echoed from around the corner.

"Please."

"No."

"Please spare me."

Those voices were eerily reminiscent of that girl from years ago.

Without hesitation, Adeline followed the sounds.

Arriving at the last room at the corner, the door had just closed.

Adeline knocked on the door, "Jonathan, open the door! If you don't open, I'm calling the police! Open up!"

Desperate, Adeline turned the doorknob and, to her surprise, it was successfully twisted open.

She rushed inside and intended to help that girl.

Just a few steps in, she hesitated and considered calling Curtis to provide him with the address. Unexpectedly, a loud thud struck her head, inflicting pain, and she then lost consciousness as she collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, Curtis, who was in the private room, felt an unsettling discomfort in his chest.

He glanced at his watch. It hadn't been long, but Adeline should have been here by now.

Curtis's phone rang suddenly, and he answered it.

At the other end of the line, Max mentioned a room number and said, "Olivia says she has been drugged."

"Yeah, I know. I'm right here," Curtis replied casually.

"Alright, it has nothing to do with me anymore then."

After speaking, Max was about to hang up. But Curtis hit the nail on the head.

"She wants you to come save her."

"Ridiculous." Max coldly uttered the word before ending the call.

Sara cast a glance at Curtis, "Mr. Riley, something might have gone wrong."

Curtis's brow furrowed, "What's going on?"

Sara gestured towards the surveillance feed, "The video has frozen on Mrs. Riley assisting Olivia into the room. I just checked, and it's not a live feed. Moreover, I can't reach Mrs. Riley now."

Before Sara could finish her sentence, Curtis pounded the table and rose to his feet, with his eyes as sharp as knives.

"Steffen, immediately lock down the hotel and bring the General from the car. You need to conduct a thorough search for Mrs. Riley! Sara, you're in charge of bringing Rebecca here!"

With that, Curtis left the room.

Steffen, seeing Curtis walk out on his own, gasped for air in shock and quickly dialed his subordinates.

"Hurry, lock down The Grand Plaza Hotel. Nobody can leave their rooms! Cut off all the corridor surveillance."

After making the arrangements, Steffen rushed back to the car, with the General in tow, and entered the hotel at a brisk pace.

A security guard stepped in front of Steffen, "Sorry, no pets allowed in our hotel."

The General grew impatient and barked at the security guard, showing off his sharp teeth.

The guard, who was frightened, took a couple of steps back but still dutifully said, "I'm sorry, sir, this is a five-star hotel..."

Before he could finish, Steffen grabbed the guard by his collar and asked, "Can you bear the responsibility if Mr. Riley's wife goes missing in your hotel?"

The moment the guard heard 'Mr. Riley', he was petrified and sat down on the ground. He then cleared a path for Steffen and the General.

Steffen quickly led the General to the eighth floor.

Curtis had just reviewed the surveillance and found no sign of Adeline. When he saw the General, his eyes lit up. He approached and patted the General's head vigorously, "Hurry, find Adeline for me!"

The General seemed to understand.

With two sharp barks, it started sniffing the ground.

After a couple of sniffs, it sneezed twice. The General then repeatedly sneezed.

Steffen's face paled, "Oh no, the scent on the ground has been tampered with. Someone must have known we have the General and deliberately used strong perfumes to create interference."
