The butler and other staff came back after searching the premises.
"Countess Kerr, no one was found upstairs."
"She isn't in the garden either."
"She isn't in the basement."
The butler glanced at Countess Kerr and said softly, "I have searched every room on the second floor, but Miss Huo is nowhere to be found."
"Are you sure you checked every single room?" Countess Kerr emphasized upon 'every single room'.
The butler caught Countess Kerr's hint and nodded. "Yes, we did."
Countess Kerr's mind went blank again.
If she could not be found, it could mean only one thing. Her husband had taken her.
She did not know who wanted the girl eventually. Her husband had simply told her that the girl would not come to a good end.
The girl might have already been taken off the premises, but she did not dare to utter a word. If she admitted to this, she would attract huge trouble.
