Carlos POV:

"Miss Perkins, the only thing I hate in people is lying... It's just horrible when one human lies to another, really sucks... Don't you think so?" I asked curiously while gazing at the fragile girl shivering like a deer.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ089vcYe0sP
"Ye... Yes, Mr. Mancini," she stammered.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Oc7FOeaC
"Good... Very good. So, I think you would be a good one and tell me where Antony Miller is."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUrd3iZg5i
"Mr. Mancini... I don't know... I swear I really don't know where Mr. Miller is... He rushed out of the office just five minutes ago without saying a word," the little secretary of Miller's pleaded

. I bet she saw the handgun poking out of Charlie's coat pocket.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbJgf3uBBR
I maintained my usual stony face which never fails to give an impression of authority and glanced at Charlie standing next to me.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3YzfliiW
He lightly shook his head in response to my non-verbal question, 'if the rascal left the premises?'
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGpqtwCEiP
Well, we had employed our men to keep an eye on the Millers after her runaway, and I'm sure the coward sensed our arrival and left the office to hide in his secret room beneath the office.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFUNou7VG0
I looked around the room casually to find a camera on the left corner facing my direction. A devilish smile dangled on my face.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZXXzNdrcR
"Okay, Miss, thanks for your attention. I have come here to discuss something very important with Mr. Miller... But unfortunately, he left the premises. But I think it's best to discuss it with Mrs. Miller as she could give an accurate reply. Just inform him I paid a visit here."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbodXRwQLnu
"Sure, Mr. Mancini," she said politely.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpB5O8adLh
"Charlie, call our men and ask them to be here within five minutes... We need to make a little visit to my future wife's house."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbu4xgXL2x
I bet Antony would be here within no time after hearing the whole conversation I made intentionally.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiKWXVZGHB
Elly Miller, his current wife, Isabelle's stepmom, is the only person he loves blindly after his spoiled daughter. It's said that he was first married to a British woman someone called Anny... the actual mother of Isabelle. After a long ten years of relationship, she divorced him and left for some other country. It's pretty sure Elly had a remarkable role in the whole divorce thing.

"Yes, boss." He took out the smartphone and dialed Arthur's number and placed it on his left ear.

The lift door opened swiftly, revealing a short, bald-headed man in a grey suit, who is to be my future in-law, Antony Miller.

Here's the paragraph with corrected grammar:

"Thank God, I thought I would have missed you, Carlos," he said dramatically with a smile plastered.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9NKCk6rs
"Oh, Mr. Miller, it's a pleasant surprise... I thought you would be far from the office." Well, two can play the game.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAZkPT9g40
Honestly, I hate the whole Millers just like Isabelle, but I can't express it in front of the public, especially in their office.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVMXhBqgl9
"Yes, I was about to attend an emergency meeting but cancelled it due to many reasons..." He lied through his teeth.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNSm4WbnP7
"Oh, actually I have got something important to discuss with you. If you don't mind, let's have a seat somewhere in your office." I can't beat the shit out of this prick when we're under surveillance.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLgWD23K1i
"Sure, Miss Perkins, cancel all my appointments after noon and don't let anyone in unless it's a pure emergency," he said professionally, to which she replied with a yes. Soon the secretary left the floor, leaving me, Charlie, and Antony alone.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirVy9UnSU8
"Carlos, don't create a scene over here... I beg you. Let's get to my private room," he whispered without any facial expression.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6DHFUpnEt
"Sure, Antony," I said with a broad smile, showing my white teeth.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUlVCKS9k
He ushered us to his private room and opened the door for us.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RH9XFhWcE
"You first," I said briefly.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29V3pKDJkJ
He did as I said and walked towards the olive-colored sofa matching with the light green walls.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzQ5LeTA0C
Charlie and I entered the room simply. He bolted the door and stood in his position.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNZICYiAaZ
"So, Antony, I think it's just a waste of our valuable time to beat around the bush. Where is your daughter?" I said while making myself comfortable on the couch.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaJZCqemyD
"Listen, Carlos, I really don't get what you are talking about... Wasn't she living with you for the past four months?" He said without letting the rage of annoyance show.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7eYbpyDh1
"Really? But for your kind information, Antony, your daughter, that means my future wife, had never spent a whole day or night with our family. Mostly she is with her newfound boyfriends, clubbing, partying, and f***ing like crazy animals," I said calmly.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjdnRi2E1
I don't give a damn if the bitch sleeps around like a whore with multiple men. The marriage is purely to keep up with our ancestors' promise and for business gains.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQuUmAAhBR
"Carlos! Don't try to make false allegations about my daughter. She is an innocent soul... Maybe she has many male friends and has good relations with them but don't interpret them as something gross," he was fuming with anger. Like I said, he blindly trusts his daughter and wife like a gullible one.

I could sense Charlie at the door side have already loaded his gun and pointed it to his head with no emotion, making Antony shrill in fear.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jN6dKqnPv
"No, Charlie, not yet. I need him to walk her down the aisle..." I fixed my gaze on Antony and stood simply.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XB7BvB8QI
"Carlos, I don't know anything about her runaway plan... Trust me." I let out a devilish laugh and moved forward.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKZH2SVWG
"Trust you is the last thing I want to do with you, Antony... Now tell me where you have hidden your daughter and her little boyfriend."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyt6Nq5uIf
"I told you I don't know!!" In a swift move, I took out my pistol from the waistband and pulled it up to his chin.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt4Db1gcAC
"You have got some nerve to speak back to me like that, Mr. Miller..." I whispered darkly and applied pressure.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59VgGuaGbC
"Carlos... Please... I don't know where exactly she is... Monday she came home and asked us to help her or she would commit suicide... Elly and I arranged a private jet for her to Russia... I don't know who accompanies her or where she is actually now."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWmE7cRo18
"B*****d! Spill the whole truth... I don't mind if my Bride is fatherless." Hell, it's my long-term wish to kill him with my own hands.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABllyGQwL
"No, no, no... Please don't-"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkcvrxOXQj
"Shut up, you punk! You shouldn't have made a damned proposal six months back if you weren't ready for all these s***s. Your filthy daughter has spewed a bunch of lies in the media about me!!" I roared lividly while taking heavy breaths.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD2MeAjBVj
"Boss... There is an update." Charlie came close and said coldly. I closed my eyes and removed the gun and placed it in my breast pocket.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinxicwWNVP
"What's it."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzgZjvjY3N
"Our men have found where Miss Miller is." Both Miller and I snapped our heads to his direction.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2DAUiShIv
"What?" Antony exclaimed.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeGJDTJUs4
"Where? Where is she?" I asked spontaneously.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PUtbRWJWb
"Norway... She was in a shopping mall with an elderly lady this morning. We had a speculation that they might make a visit to Norway as Mr. Drake had purchased a villa in the country last year."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zUTbA55VD
"Did the media recognize her?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKixWSbd1RF
"No, boss, it's rather impossible as she is completely disguised like a normal girl... To be more precise, like another version of Miss Miller," he said after checking the latest update loaded on the tablet from our team.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t50W5R8ZY
"Damn! Why didn't they catch and bring her back?" I was furious.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqHxoxevIo
"Sorry, boss, but it's too risky to approach her in the public square, especially with the lady... It's said the lady was bold and a bit bossy with the staff so if we make a move they might have created a scene and gained the media attention." I listened carefully and nodded my head, shifting our gaze to Antony who was in pure shock.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9kKlcCdjJ
"Miller, what kind of explanation do you have for this? Why is she there? Is she intentionally roaming around to get media attention? And who is the lady with her?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoN3Vuki5A
He just stared at me blankly for a minute and spoke up with excitement and happiness.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRzpt7iKnk
"Oh, oh my... Carlos, I can answer everything but... but give me some time," he asked enthusiastically, making me frown.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9I6NGenc
Why did his mood change from fear and anxiety to confidence and courage?
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLUDQpo80d
"Antony... Tell me who the lady is," I asked dangerously, making him let out a nervous smile.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO2IUQUEcH
"Umm, a servant... A servant of hers... Isabelle has left the country to chill out before the engagement... Maybe she had Drake with her for company, don't get them wrong, Carlos... Umm, she-"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu04wcLNRB1
"I don't know what the hell you are blabbing, Antony, and I don't care! I need your daughter Isabelle Grace Miller by Wednesday and that's final!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvJXrM04VM
"You can trust me."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDrszMvGKB
"I already answered that, Mr. Miller... Coming Saturday we will conduct the initial ceremony and I need her beside me like a good girl and decline all allegations she made against me and the ones against her... if not the whole Millers would be sent to a better place with my own hands." I was rather fascinated to speak my wish.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3WMWWWTQk
"She will be there at your mansion by Wednesday," he assured with confidence.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIKvwlqNTp
A wave of confidence gained since he heard the latest news. There is something the Millers are planning behind our backs... But right now, I don't mind what trick they use, I need her by my side on the initial ceremony day.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLnxNDlaG
"Fine," I said simply and turned. Charlie walked forward, grabbed the handlebar, and pulled the door for me. I strode and reached the door side.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhp25H7CzH
Before stepping out of the door, I once again turned back to see a relieved Antony.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu66xbHr3EV
"Oh, and forget to say, Antony, if you want to see your daughter's boyfriend in one piece, never let him step foot in the country."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNaUSVkC7
With that, I left the room and strolled to the left area followed by Charlie.
