Chapter 418
William nodded subtly, and James tacitly understood.
Holding up his phone, he said, "Good. Pull out."
It was over.
As he put away his phone, he turned and noticed Jessica watching him, and he gave her a nod.
Jessica's smile could hardly be hidden.
She then looked around, looking for John.
After getting off the stage following the announcement of their wedding day, John excused himself to
the washroom.
Someone came along to offer her a toast, so she did not go along with John.
It had been a while, too... Why was he not coming back yet?
Jessica felt a foreboding sensation right then and rushed to the washroom to find John. She did not
care at all about propriety and dashed into the men's room directly without a pause, searching fervently
for any trace of John.
But no, he was nowhere to be seen.

Flustered, she rushed back to the ballroom, and everyone who saw that look on her face was left
perplexed.
As the host of such an occasion, her bearing certainly left her looking undignified.
James promptly rushed up to her and swiftly dragged her to one of the break rooms nearby, and he
coldly snapped, "Why are you acting all flustered for? Don't you know how undignified you looked?!"
"James... It's John. He's gone!" Jessica's voice was quivering.
Despite being calmer, James was left glowering. "Are you sure he's gone?"
"He told me he's going to the washroom, but I already looked -he's not there!" Jessica cried.
"Maybe he's just elsewhere. That ballroom isn't exactly small rv
"James!"
"Calm down," James said, assuring her while whipping out his phone. "Find John Levine as soon as
possible. Try not to draw too much attention-the charity ball must not be affected."
"Yes, Mr. Stuart."
James hung up and quickly made another call. "Check the cameras. Find where John Levine is!"
"Yes, Mr. Stuart."
James hung up again and put away his phone and scowled just like Jessica right then.
Soon enough, his phone rang, and a voice reported on the other end, saying, "Mr. Stuart, we can't find
Mr. Levine in the
ballroom or anywhere around the building."
Jessica's face fell at the report, but soon the other report came. "Mr. Stuart? We just checked the
cameras, but Mr. Levine already left the ballroom through a side entrance."
"When?" James asked.
"Around twenty minutes ago."
Twenty minutes?!
That means John left the building as soon as he left Jessica!
Where did he go?
Did he leave to find Cordy?!
No.
He could not allow John to find her, let alone save her!
Cordy must die!

"James, are you sure that Patrick and Cordy are dead?!" Jessica asked, working hard to keep herself
calm.
"Their car rolled off a slope. There's almost no chance they'd survive this," James replied.
"No!" Jessica cried, agitated to the point of almost having a nervous breakdown. "We have to see the
bodies! Send your people to find them. I don’t want any surprises!"
"Patrick's people must have reached the wreck by now. This is all we can do for now, even if they
survived. If they caught us there, they'd have leverage against us and we won't be able to deny
responsibility."
Jessica, however, could not care any less. "I cant let Cordy stay alive! I won't be able to take it!"
"John won't be able to change anything by himself. Calm down," James assured Jessica. "He's not
going to save Cordy."
"But what if he did?!"
"Even if he did, you've already announced your wedding date with him in public!” James snapped,
loudly and clearly." Given his current position, he'd never annul it no matter how daring he gets. He's
already under our family's control, and he's not getting away anytime soon!"
