Chapter 247 Allison's Disappearance
"Mr. Austin? Which Mr. Austin?" Dillon was momentarily confused, but then he had an idea. "Is itsomeone from the Austin family?"
As one of the four major families in Kreanford, the Austin family had influence throughout the city.The Hodge family, on the other hand, was a second-rate family in Edoland with connections to theAustin family.
Of course, for the Austin family, the Hodge family was just a small player in their game. Theirbusiness dealings were usually conducted through peripheral members of their organization.
"Yes! He's from the Austin family!" Quinn exclaimed over the phone. "And this time it's AlexanderAustin himself who has come! We've never been able to get close to anyone directly related to thembefore. This is a great opportunity!"
"If we can make a good impression and build a relationship with Mr. Austin," he continued excitedly,"we'll be unstoppable!"Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Alexander was not only part of the Austin family's second generation but also its future head - hewas one of their core members!
If they could gain his favor and get him on their side, they could easily benefit from his connectionsand resources.
Dillon shared Quinn's enthusiasm at this prospect: if they could successfully connect with Alexanderand elevate themselves within Edoland as well as become top-tiered second-generation elites!
"But Dad," Dillon asked eagerly after Quinn finished speaking about how important Alexander wasfor them, "how are we going to do that?"
Quinn chuckled knowingly, "It's simple – appeal to what he likes!"
"I'll tell you something," he continued conspiratorially. "Mr. Austin is quite fond of women – he hasseveral mistresses in Kreanford alone."
Dillon smirked understandingly, "So basically…he likes beautiful women?"
Quinn laughed heartily at Dillon's response, "What man doesn't? Son…didn't you say that Allisonfrom our wine company is an absolute stunner?"
Dillon nodded hesitantly. Allison was indeed gorgeous but she also happened to be someone whomDillon fancied himself.
"Mr. Austin should arrive tonight," Quinn said slyly. "why don't you take her out tonight and let herspend some time with him?"
At these words, Dillon felt uneasy. Did his father really want him give up Allison like that?
"Hey, kid, don't be so short-sighted! As long as you can satisfy Mr. Austin, you won't need any otherwomen in the future." Quinn guessed his son's thoughts and immediately scolded him.
"I know that! But I haven't even managed to get Allison yet. She's very proud and probably won'tagree to accompany Mr. Austin!" Dillon was hesitant.
"Don't you have any brains right now? If she doesn't want to go, can't you just tie her up? She's justan ordinary woman from a normal family. Just give her some money and scare her a bit. Can shestill refuse?" Quinn said impatiently.
As the saying goes, "A fish rots from the head down," and it was clear that he wasn't a good personas a father either.
"I understand! Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely handle it!" Dillon had an evil smile on his face.
That evening...
Allison left work ten minutes early and secretly felt relieved that she didn't run into Dillon. Little didshe know that someone had already been watching her!
Later that night...
Lachlan had just put Nora to bed when he received an unfamiliar phone call.
"Who is this?" On the other end of the line was a middle-aged woman with some concern andanxiety in her voice.
"Lachlan ah, it's Allison's mom! Do you remember me?" Kailey asked tentatively.
"Mrs. Singleton? Of course I remember you!" Lachlan replied politely despite Kailey's previoussnobbish behavior towards him because after all she was Allison's mother.
"Do you have anything going on with my daughter?"
"What do you mean?" Lachlan looked confused before breaking out into sweat, "I haven't seenAllison today."
"Then what's going on? Where could Allison be? Normally, she would have been back by now,never staying out at this time. I thought she went to find you! I can't reach her on the phone either.Could something have happened?" Kailey expressed with growing concern.
"Oh? Can't get in touch?" Lachlan frowned, feeling a sense of unease.
"Yeah! You know, I've been unwell before, and Allison takes care of everything at home. So, shealways comes home early after work, even if there's something or overtime, she'd always let meknow. It's past nine now, and there's been no word from her. What could be going on?"
"What worries me the most is that I called a colleague at her company and they said, 'Allison leftbefore work was over today!'"
"Where could she have gone?"
"Could she have run into some bad people on the way?" Kailey fretted.
"Mrs. Singleton, don't worry. Maybe Allison will be back soon. I'll ask around for you and call you ifthere's any news," Lachlan comforted.
"Okay, okay."
"Her dad and I will also look around nearby!" Kailey gratefully agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lachlan furrowed his brow. He also felt that something was not rightabout this situation. He tried calling Allison but her phone was turned off.
"I hope nothing has happened to her," he muttered to himself.
After all, Allison was young and beautiful and always went to work alone. Who knew when shemight encounter someone with ill intentions? With this in mind, Lachlan used divination techniquesfrom "Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique" to read his old friend's fortune!
"The Mountain Heaven's Great Accumulation Hexagram?"
"Oh no! Allison has really been kidnapped!" This hexagram symbolized a person who was travelingbeing trapped or detained.
After pondering for a long time, Lachlan dialed a phone number he had saved just a few days agoon his cellphone - Dillon's number.
After Lachlan sold him more than ten Nourishing Essence Pills last time, Dillon exchanged contactinformation with Lachlan and promised that if he had any extra pills to sell in the future, he couldcontact him anytime as he would definitely buy them at high prices.
Lachlan had agreed only because he wanted to prevent this guy from harming Allison again afterwhat happened last time.
According to what Kailey said earlier, Allison left the company early when it wasn't even dark yetoutside.
What kind of criminal came out in broad daylight?
Therefore it was more likely that someone targeted specifically against Alison committed this crime.
Considering Alison's circle of acquaintanceship, who would want harm her?
The first suspect in Lachlan's mind was Dillon from Alison's company!!
The call was quickly answered by Dillon himself, "Mr. Hodge where are you? I have severalNourishing Essence Pills here again. Do you still want them?" asked Lachlan sternly.
