Chapter 660
“Transfer my call to your CEO quickly, please.” Joyce was so anxious that her voice was trembling.
The receptionist frowned. “Ma’am, our CEO is very busy. If there’s anything, please tell me first. I’ll relay
the message to him when he’s free, okay?”
Hmph! It’s another woman pining after Mr. Shane. I’ve seen loads of such women like her. They keep
thinking of ways to contact him. I will not let them succeed!
Joyce was infuriated by the receptionist. Tugging her hair in frustration, she yelled, “I’m the best friend of
your CEO’s wife. Something bad happened to her! If you don’t contact Shane now and miss the right
timing to save her, you’ll have to take responsibility. I’m afraid that you might not be able to shoulder the
grave consequences of that!”
When she said that, the receptionist’s heart skipped a beat.
Everyone in the company knows that Mr. Shane is married, but none of us has seen his wife before.
Now, someone who’s claiming to be her best friend is saying that she’s in trouble. I don’t know if she’s
telling the truth. However, judging from her panicked tone, it might be true…
The receptionist did not dare to make such a bet.
If something bad really happened to Mr. Shane’s wife and I failed to relay the message, I can’t bear the
consequences.
But if this is just the woman’s prank…
The receptionist bit her lips. After deliberating over it for a few seconds, she decided to pass on the
message.
Even if it was a prank, she would just get scolded. It was always better to be safe than sorry.
Now that she had thought it through, the receptionist took a deep breath and said seriously, “Please give
me a moment. I’ll pass on the message now.”
Joyce heaved a sigh of relief. Before she hung up, she reminded, “Remember, you must be quick.
Otherwise, it might be too late.”
“Okay.”
With that, the receptionist hung up and called the office located on the top floor.
As she did not have the authority to call Shane’s office directly, she had to call Silas.
He was in the middle of organizing some files. When he heard his phone ring, he glanced at it and
picked up the call. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Campbell, a lady called just now, claiming to be the best friend of Mr. Shane’s wife. She said that his
wife got into trouble and told me to inform him right away,” said the receptionist.
Silas froze mid-action. “Something bad happened to madam?”
“Yes, that’s what the lady said. Her tone sounded extremely anxious, so it didn’t seem like she was
lying.”
“Did the lady tell you her name?” asked Silas solemnly.
If she’s Joyce, then something bad might have happened to madam.
The receptionist shook her head. “No.”
“I understand. Send me her number and I’ll contact her personally to check,” instructed Silas.
The receptionist sent the number to him immediately.
When Silas entered the first three digits of the number, Joyce’s contact automatically popped up in his
phone.
Silas’ eyes widened. He stood up abruptly, almost dropping his phone.
It’s really Joyce! In that case, something bad must have happened to madam!
Silas’ expression changed drastically as he called Joyce.
The call went through quickly. Joyce asked anxiously, “Are you Mr. Campbell?”
“Yes. What happened to madam?” demanded Silas loudly.
Joyce was on the brink of tears. “Nat has been abducted!”
“What?” Silas felt a shiver run down his spine.
She continued, “When Nat came to the office in the morning, she received a call from a deliveryman. Not
only was there no sender details, but she also had to receive it personally. Guessing that there is
something fishy with the delivery, she told me to accompany her.”
“Did you?”
“I did!”
“If so, why did she still get abducted?” asked Silas.
Biting her lips, Joyce replied, “Before we left the elevator, Nat told me to wait for her secretly. She was
afraid that the deliveryman would not appear if he saw that there are two of us. Hence, I waited in a
corner discreetly. When I realized that Nat was abducted by the deliveryman, I tried to save her. But…”
