Trophy

"Call the Shen family and report the situation to them. The police will be here soon. Make sure nothing here ties to Lena Shen. Make sure this situation also stay low until we find her."

"Yes, boss."

"And get all the information you can on the Beast gang. I don't know if this is a regular kidnapping. They killed the driver in cold blood."

"Then we must work fast." Tim spoke.

The Zhao family have their own security team and he took full charge of the situation. When his parents heard the news, they were glad to help out.

Their business with the Shen had been successful so far. They also like Lena Shen a lot. She was one of the few young ladies from the high society to be so independent and strong.

Ming Zhao originally did not seek Lena because of this favor, but because he needed Lena Shen alive. She is crucial to his plan for becoming the next Zhao heir and stabilizing his position. He can make sure that everything that is rightfully his will become his, but he can never kill his own brother.

Although Project Crystal will guarantee his position, Ming Zhao needed to think of long term consequences.

And as long as his brother is alive, Ming Zhao knew that Mike Zhao will not give up. Mike Zhao abandoned his family for money and he can do the same for the Zhao family.

Tim had called and informed the Shen family beforehand. When Shen Milli heard the news, she almost fainted in shock. Shen Mao was furious at James who later arrived. Shen Mao punished him for leaving her daughter alone.

"I will deal with you later." Shen Mao yelled at James who was kneeled on the floor.

"Master, people from the Zhao family are here." Aunt Mary interrupted them.

Shen Mao quickly went out to greet the men. It was Tim and a group of other people.

"Have you found my daughter?" Shen Mao asked.

When the Zhao family offered the resources to look for their daughter, Shen Mao was quickly to accept. The Shen family has no business or power in these type of troubles. They would usually rely on the police.

But knowing that the Zhao family are offering and no doubt they are better than the police, Shen Mao was thankful.

"Do not worry, CEO Shen. Young Master Zhao is working diligently to find your daughter. At the moment, we will set up here in case the kidnappers call for a ransom."

Shen Mao allowed them in and set up the area. He went to check on his wife. He needed to be a strong man for both of them.

While Ming Zhao and his team scurried to find Lena, Gary had just completed the event. For the final round, it took him 10 minutes to defeat his opponent, a new record for him.

He was very happy and smiling. As they announced him as the winner and handed him his trophy, he stared into the VIP room where he had reserved for Lena.

His smile dropped and sadness filled his heart.

'She's not here…but she promised.'

He quickly left the stage and headed toward the room. He stood outside the door holding the trophy for a while before opening it.

He had his confirmation. She was not here. She lied to him again. What did he expect… it's not like she enjoyed being here anyway.

Gary slowly walked to the table where the untouched desserts were. He sat down on the sofa and pulled out his phone.

'One missed call… I bet it was to inform me that she couldn't make it.'

Gary threw his phone hard on the ground, its screen shattering as it clashed with the hard floor. He was angry and heartbroken. He had spent countless times trying to show his love for her and every time, she always break his heart. He thought that they were doing so well?

He left his trophy in the room and left. This time… he will not go searching for her. For once, he wants her to come searching for him right at his door.
