Chapter 318 Sterling Arrived
Hannah found the hotel manager and wanted to access the surveillance footage.
The hotel manager told Hannah that the surveillance cameras had broken down in the morning and the repairman could only come in the afternoon.
Hannah’s bad premonition in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
The hotel manager saw Hannah anxiously pacing around and couldn't help but console her. “Maybe your friend went out shopping, you might want to check again later.”
Although the film and television city is located in the suburbs, there have been no incidents of young women going missing in recent years.
And moreover, the friend on the other side was still staying in the hotel, making it even more unlikely for her to disappear without a reason, unless she went out on her own.
Hannah, however, didn’t think so. If Audra went out, it would be impossible for her not to bring her phone.
Hannah couldn't rest assured, so she went to the police station again.
But she had no evidence to prove that Audrey had been involved in any accident, so the police did not file a case within twenty- four hours.
Hannah took a leave from the crew and waited at the hotel.
In the afternoon, Audrey still did not show up.
Chapter 11 Stering Ame
Hannah became a little impatient.
Seffolk didn’t have enough connections. In order to find the missing Audrey, it seems that she had no choice but to find that person!
Although Audrey and Patek Philippe have no connection in the past. and it is unlikely that they will develop any further in the future, considering the urgency of the situation, even based on their past relationship, he would still lend a hand to help find Audrey, wouldn’t
he?
Upon thinking about it, Hannah immediately picked up Audrey’s phone and found Sterling’s number.
Night fell. and the lights of the city began to shine.
Sterling had a good luck in the evening. He had only been at the tablet for less than half an hour and had already won several rounds.
Gavin Cook, sitting across from Sterling. lost miserably.
Glancing at the pile of chips on the table, Sterling remained
emotionless. Gavin teased, “Mr. Howard. I’m curious, what would it take to make you happy for once?”
Sitting under Sterling. Shawn pushed up the wire-framed glasses on his nose bridge and a gentle smile curved on his handsome and refined face, “Women.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“A group of newcomers arrived at the Luxury Clubhouse, and | heard they are all exceptionally good-looking. Should | call a few of them in?”
Shawn said, “The woman sat next to me and kept talking while playing cards.”

Gavin raised an eyebrow and said, “Fine, you two can become monks.” Then, as if he had thought of something. Gavin laughed again and said. “I'd rather team up with Mr. Bush. Whenever he’s around, there’s. always a beautiful woman accompanying him. Have you heard? He’s recently taken a liking to a young beauty from Seffolk University!”.
Suffolk University?
Shawn glanced at the expressionless Sterling. Sterling's thin lips were biting on a cigarette. his brows and eyes were deep and steady, as if nothing could disturb his emotions. Shawn pulled the corner of his lip. and said. “Oh? Isn’t he with Isaac’s adopted daughter?”
“Just playing around. you know. When | saw something better, | changed my target again.” Gavin thought of Russell’s gentle and handsome face. which was deceptive. “I have to say, women just love guys like him. He can easily deceive them. This time. | heard he’s interested in a campus beauty, who could have been crowned as the school’s flower, but Alyssa is pressuring her. so many people are afraid to choose her.”
“Otherwise, she would have been the perfect school beauty.”
It is not easy to become the campus belle of Suffolk University. In Shawn’s impression. the only one who can be on par with the campus. belle and get admitted to Suffolk University seems to be the one from the Sterling family
Shawn glanced at Sterling and asked Gavin with interest. “Do you know his last name?”
“It seems like his last name was Watson!”
As Gavin finished speaking, there was a sudden bang. Sterling knocked down the cards on the table and shot Gavin a sharp, icy glare. filled with intense and heavy pressure.

The man who had been silent since he sat at the poker table finally spoke with a growing hostility. “Who?”
Gavin received a bright signal, which made Mr. Howard angry.

“Last name Watson, I’m not sure about the specific first name.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly turned icy cold.
Everyone else was puzzled, only Shawn had a half-smile on his lips.
Sterling clenched his jaw and stood up from the chair with a scrape.
He walked out of the private room without saying a word.
Just as | walked out, my phone started vibrating.
Seeing the caller ID, the gloomy and fierce expression softened a bit, and the waves of shock and fear in the eyes suddenly faded away.
He answered the phone call from Audrey.
Getting straight to the point, he asked, “Was Russell pursuing you?”
The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a few seconds, then a cold and anxious voice sounded. “Sterling? Audra is missing!”
Upon hearing a voice that, was not Audrey’s on the other end of the phone, Sterling's initial reaction was to hang up, but he quickly remembered that it was Audrey's best friend Hannah’s voice.
“What did you just say, she’s gone?” Sterling’s voice sounded frosty.
“Yes,” Hannah said, recounting that she had returned to the hotel at noon and hadn't seen Audrey.
After asking for Hannah’s address, Sterling hung up the phone.

Chapter 318 Sterling Armed
Sterling asked Deon to bring people along and drove three vehicles, speeding all the way to the film and television city. Originally a three-hour journey, they managed to complete it in just an hour and a half, indicating how fast they were driving! Hannah was constantly worried and anxious. She waited at the hotel entrance, pacing back and forth.
The sky had already darkened, and after some time, she saw three luxurious cars speeding towards her from the darkness of the night.
Soon, we stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
Deon got off the car and pulled open the door of the middle car
Wearing a black suit, Sterling got off the car.
The tall and upright figure shone brightly under the reflection of the lights, making it impossible for people to look away. It was cold and noble, unattainable.
People in the hotel were coming and going, and they all stopped to look at Sterling. Hannah, however, had no interest in admiring his handsomeness. She furrowed her brow and anxiously approached him, saying, “Mr. Howard, you're here?” Sterling’s jawline tightened. his profile cold and sharp as if carved by a knife. His voice deep and icy, he asked. “Has anyone at the hotel seen Audrey?”
Hannah shook her head and said. “I asked the front desk, they said they didn’t notice.”
Sterling’s thin lips tightened into a sharp straight line as Audrey
suddenly disappeared from the hotel. Without a certain level of capability, one cannot make her leave.
Sterling turned around and glanced at Deon. “You communicate with. the manager. Bring all the people who work from seven in the morning until twelve noon to the meeting room. | want to personally inquire.”
“Yes.”
Sterling arrived at the hotel conference room and stood by the floor-to- ceiling window, his gaze deep and intense, exuding a suppressed and compelling aura amidst the icy coldness.
Deon was efficient in his work and soon called all the hotel staff who were working in the morning.
Sterling inquired once and offered a hefty reward to anyone who could provide valuable information.
Not long after. a janitor stuttered and said. “I am responsible for cleaning the 12th floor. In the morning. | went to the restroom and when | returned to the work area. | found that the cleaning cart for bed sheets and covers was missing. | searched downstairs and found the cleaning cart near the back door. At that time. a black commercial vehicle drove by, but | was too focused on finding the utility cart and didn’t think much about it.”
