Winner Takes All novel Chapter 145

"How long has she been missing?"

Jack asked in his deep voice.

Sophie thought for a while, then said, "About 10 minutes."

Jack said immediately, "Brent, Mr. Ward, check the compound, I will ask the security to check their cameras."

"Jack, I will come with you!"

Sophie followed Jack, both hands clenched onto her phone, her face was filled with worries, "Daisy, you have to be okay."

"Mom, don't worry." Jack tried to comfort her.

But he knew, it wouldn't work this way.

Daisy was a good nanny, she could endure a lot, and took care of his mother better than anyone else, naturally, Sophie treated her like her own daughter.

The security's office.

As soon as the manager heard their story, he immediately started to play back their recordings, but the results were disappointing.

Daisy was nowhere to be seen in the tapes.

This meant that she didn't leave through the main gate.

The security system of TM Villa District was very good, anyone who wasn't living in this compound, or who didn't have the directions from one of the residents, had trouble getting inside.

The Parry family was a good example for that.

"Are there any other paths in this district?" Jack asked with knitted brows.

Just as the security manager was thinking about that, Brent and Mr. Ward came back.

"Young Master, we found Daisy's phone."

Brent handed Jack a broken phone, "We found it on the lake side, halfway up the hills."

When he said that, the security manager suddenly called out, "Right! When we were recreating the lake side, the cost performance wasn't very high, so we kept it as a scenery. It's a very big lake that surrounds this district, so whenever we do our rounds, we would skip that part."

"Let's go!"

Jack didn't say more, turned around and rushed out of the office.

A place that was skipped during rounds, a normal person wouldn't imagine to get into the district at such a place, but whoever took Daisy, was clearly not a normal person.

After they sent Sophie back.

Mr. Ward said, "Young Master, Daisy has already been taken out of the district, it will be like searching for a needle in the hay."

"Even if that's how it is, we have to look for her!"

Jack was determined, his voice was carrying anger, "She entered the door to our family, so she is part of us now, I cannot allow her to be in danger. Find the tapes to all cameras in the whole town, even if this person has submerged, I will find him!"

His voice was clattering, endlessly determined.

The Rolls Royce left the district.

Mr. Ward sent out Daisy's picture, and the video recordings of the cameras were sent to his phone.

When the car arrived down the hill, Mr. Ward's eyes lit up.

"Young Master, we have found the person who too her, it's a guy."

Jack took the phone over and looked at the picture, his brows knitted.

The video looked like it was taken on the road down the hills of TM Villa District.

In the video, he could see a very skinny mid aged man who was looking around himself, seeming very careful.

And Daisy was just behind him.

The two of them didn't look like they were in a struggle, on the contrary, Daisy gave Jack a feeling that she was following the man.

And the two of them didn't have a wide gap, Daisy used to practice Sanda back in her days, so if she really was in danger, she would be able to save herself.

But then again, she sent Sophie a message for help!

"With Daisy's abilities, what could this man possibly do to her?"

Mr. Ward was thinking about the same thing.

"Let's use this video and follow up with that, we need to find her first!" Jack said in a deep voice.

Since she asked for help, then it must mean that she was in danger, the most urgent thing was for them to find her first.

Jack didn't search deeply about Daisy's past.

Even back then when Daisy suddenly appeared on the construction site with Brent, surrounded and beaten by Diego and his people, he hadn't asked her more.

That wasn't too long ago, and now this happened!

The Rolls Royce was racing all the way.

In the car, it was so silent that they could hear a needle fall.

Brent, who was driving, was dignified, he kept looking into the rear mirror at Jack and Mr. Ward, his hands were clenched onto the steering wheel, his foot stepping further down on the gas pedal.

"We found her, at MT Village!"

Mr. Ward suddenly yelled out, "That guy took Daisy to MT Village, and haven't left since."

MT Village?

Jack frowned, he remembered, when he hired Daisy, on her resume it said that she was from MT Village!

In that moment, the Rolls Royce made a loud break sound.

Brent quickly turned on the steering wheel, which caused the car to turn in circles.

Jack and Mr. Ward, who were not prepared at all, were thrown into their seats.

"Brent..." Mr. Ward was about to complain.

Jack raised his hand and stopped him, then he looked at Brent, and smiled strangely.

"Sorry Young Master, Mr. Ward."

Brent apologized while he was stepping on the gas again.

An hour later.

The Rolls Royce arrived at MT Village quick as a flash.

Jack asked Brent to stop the car, the three of them walked towards the village.

It was a little further away from the city, even though the connection was good, the village itself was old, most of the young generation left to find a job outside, the only ones left were elderly, and mid aged people, which made the village inaccessible.

It was a starless night.

In the summer nights, the elderly were used to going to bed late, most of them were feeling the fresh breeze outside, waiting for the temperature to lower.

Under a big tree in the village.

A few elderly were sitting together, chatting.

Mr. Ward went to them, and laughed, "Ladies, I want to ask you something, do you know where Daisy Hill lives?"

"Daisy Hill? The house on the other end of the village."

The elderly raised a hand to point the direction, but she had a strange expression, "She just came back with her father, if you wanna visit her, you should go now, if you're too late, it will be troublesome."

Mr. Ward, Jack and Brent heart her statement, and felt startled.

The man who took Daisy was her father?

Then, what did it mean that she needed help?

Brent's face darkened, he ran towards the pointed direction.

Jack and Mr. Ward raised their pace to follow him, from behind, they could hear the elderly talk.

"Daisy really had a hard life to have such a family."

"Right, remember how well she was doing? Then her family pulled her down."

"Hopefully those people can help her, that car looks very expensive, they must be rich people."

......

"Young Master." Mr. Ward looked at Jack, he looked as if he was about to say something.

"You mean, this is family matter?"

Jack snorted, his eyes were flashing, "She has already asked outsiders for help, do you really think this is just a simple family matter?"

Mr. Ward paused, and realized.

Daisy's house had it's own yard.

It was a simple mud house, they had a mud wall around their yard. Weed was growing in their yard, it looked very ruined, even the old wooden door wasn't working anymore.

When the three of them arrived, they were startled by this scene.

Daisy was a joyful person who has never mentioned her family.

Who knew, that she was so poor?

When the three of them arrived at the gate.

"Ahh, don't come close to me, don't! I am your daughter!"

Daisy's screams and cries were passed on from inside the house.
