Chapter 1201

Natalie Goes Missing

Joyce’s hurt sunk when she realized that Natalie was not in the restroom.

She had no idea if Natalie had returned to the seating area or gone to another restroom.

She only knew with certainty that Natalie was missing.

Joyce immediately called Shane. He answered the phone gruffly, “Hello.”

“Mr. Shane, has Nat gone back?” Joyce asked hastily.

His spine stiffened as he surveyed his surroundings. He replied, “No. What’s wrong? Natalie’s not in the
restroom?”

Joyce nodded even though Shane could not see her. “She’s not here. I’ve turned the restroom upside
down. I tried to call her earlier, but it seems that her phone is switched off.”

“What?” Shane barked into the phone, leaping to his feet in an instant.

Sally and Lina cut their conversation short and turned to stare at Shane.



Sally asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Shane?”

Instead of answering her, he asked Joyce urgently, “Where are you right now?”

“I’m coming back to our seats. I’m planning to look for Nat along the way,” she explained.

Shane began walking briskly as he ordered, “Go to the broadcast control room and arrange for an
announcement on Natalie.”



He was headed for the security room to examine any footage that could help them track down Natalie.

Natalie has never had a problem with directions. It’s more likely that she was kidnapped instead of simply
losing her way. That would explain why her phone is switched off!

Shane’s expression grew colder and tenser by the second. He soon broke into a run toward the security
room.

When he arrived, he demanded someone to pull up the security footage. When the guards refused his
request, Shane revealed his identity, and they eventually pulled up the security footage covering the
restroom that Natalie had visited.

Meanwhile, Joyce, Lina, and Sally had released an announcement through the stadium’s PA system to
search for Natalie.

On the slim chance that Natalie had wandered off, the announcement would implore her to seek her
friends out in the broadcast control room.

Alas, their efforts were fruitless.

Natalie did not miraculously show up after Joyce’s repeated announcements, and Shane could not find
Natalie on any of the security footage.

A dejected Shane was about to leave the security room when a staff member piped up, “Hey, the
cameras in the parking lot caught a security guard bringing someone away. Seems like it was a woman.”

“What?” Shane turned on his heels and immediately approached the staff member who had just spoken.

He was already zooming in on the incriminating footage. A man dressed in a security guard’s uniform
walked past the security camera, carrying an unconscious woman on his shoulder. The woman wore the
same black maxi dress Natalie had worn to the stadium.



Shane immediately recognized the dress, having picked it out for Natalie himself. His heart sank as the
footage confirmed Natalie’s kidnapping.

He exploded with rage, storming out of the security room to call the police.

Once the police received news of Natalie’s kidnapping, they immediately launched an investigation and
dispatched their officers to scour the area for clues.

Joyce and the others were fraught with worry when they heard about Natalie’s kidnapping.

They left the stadium to look for Shane and forwent the rest of the concert.

“Mr. Shane,” they called out to Shane when they saw him.

His bloodshot eyes and palpable anger made for a horrifying sight.

Joyce empathized with his pain and distress at losing Natalie. She repressed her fear of his frightening
state and coaxed, “Don’t worry, Mr. Shane. We’ll find Nat; I’m sure of it. The kidnapper can’t have been
gone for more than two hours. They’re probably still in the city. I’m sure we can save her if we lock down
the city.”
