Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 969: Chapter 969: Discovering Enna Clark Hasn’t Returned Yet

She was not foolish; Jasmine Clark was spiteful and vengeful, but she did not have the daring to do something so drastic. If Jasmine had that kind of audacity, she wouldn’t have merely resorted to small schemes like editing photos and framing someone for theft.

This time, Jasmine’s actions were so frenzied, there must have been someone behind her.

That person’s influence was not insignificant.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to track down her itinerary!

Indeed, hiding now was far smarter than blindly searching for a hospital.

Enna wanted to find a hospital because she feared Lyle Westbrook might have injured a major artery. Since Lyle had said he could stop the bleeding herself, she believed him!

She believed even more strongly that the man would soon notice her situation and come to find her!

Before that, she had to ensure her own safety. That was the best, the most sensible course of action!

Enna Clark took a deep breath, laid the man’s arm over her shoulder, and helped him walk towards the woods…

Fortunately, there was a large forest near Oceana Club. The undulating hills were not only picturesque but also conducive to hiding.

Although Lyle could walk on his own, Enna still felt the weight on her shoulder. She could feel that Lyle was just pushing himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have put most of his weight on her.

She wasn’t in much better shape herself. Even though she had buckled her seatbelt and had tried to protect herself as much as possible in the limited space before Jasmine Clark crashed into them, she still suffered several scrapes and bruises, especially on her knees which had hit the dashboard. Now, every step she took still caused significant pain.

But she didn’t show it at all, biting her teeth and, like nothing was wrong, helped the injured man walk deeper into the forest…

Inside the study of the villa district.

Baron Lawrence had finished the military district meeting, closed his laptop, and walked out.

The living room was desolately empty, not a soul in sight.

He suddenly furrowed his brows and glanced at his watch.

6:30 already!

It had been four hours since Enna Clark left, and she still hadn’t returned? Could she be having dinner with Edward Jackson?

Baron Lawrence strode back into the study with his long legs. He picked up the phone that was lying on the desk; the screen was black, no messages, no missed calls.

If Enna had not sent a message or called, it meant she was not staying to have dinner there. If she had decided to stay, with her personality, she would have definitely sent a message back.

Then where had she gone? Did talking really take four hours?

Restlessness passed through Baron Lawrence’s heart.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had not yet visited Lyle Westbrook’s villa. Perhaps Enna had already come back, and not wishing to disturb him while he was in a meeting, she might have gone to see Gigi…

The moment this thought crossed his mind, he quickly strode over to the neighboring villa.

“Young Master Lawrence,” the housekeeper greeted him respectfully as soon as he walked in.

Without wasting words, he directly asked, “Where is Enna Clark? Is she here with you?”

The housekeeper was taken aback by the question and then said, “Ms. Clark hasn’t come over.”

Baron Lawrence’s brow tightened as he lifted his leg to walk inside, but then he stopped as if he remembered something. He turned back and stared at the housekeeper’s face and asked, “What about Lyle Westbrook?”

“Young Master Lyle had to go out for something; he’s not at home either. Is there something you need with Young Master Lyle, Baron?”

“He went out? When did he leave?”

The housekeeper thought for a moment, “It seems Young Master Lyle went out around two o’clock.”

Baron Lawrence’s eyes suddenly narrowed, “Two in the afternoon? Did he go to Oceana Club?”
