“We don’t have time to worry about that now.” Draco replied firmly,his mind made up.He then swiftly turned around and walked out.
“Draco!”Mandy yelled anxiously
He paid her no mind,however,and quickly disappeared out the door.
Mandy had no choice but to follow him and yell, “Be safe!”Afterwards,she turned around and bolted towards the runway.

Meanwhile,Brandon successfully captured the hearts of the audience again on the runway with his stunning appearance.The general crowd was applauding loudly while the journalists were furiously taking photographs.Everyone was impressed by Brandon’s godly look.
However,Brandon was indifferent to the support he received and was solely focused on his catwalk. He just wanted to finish the show and return to Natalie’s side
Suddenly,a sharp and piercing pain jolted through his heart.An indescribable anxiety swept over his entire being.
His sixth sense seemed to be warning him that Natalie might be in danger.
Although he didn’t know why he felt that way,he didn’t intend to ignore it as it concerned Natalie.
Brandon hurriedly finished his walk amid the reluctant farewells from the audience.
He scanned the venue for Natalie,but his heart sank when he couldn’t spot her.
He knew that Natalie was not the obedient type. She would definitely sneak out to watch the show, even when he told her not to.He was even expecting her to rush over when he came off stage to celebrate their victory.
Something was wrong…Something was definitely wrong!
Brandon quickly turned around and hurried backstage.
Just then,someone in red rushed over and bumped into Brandon.
The person staggered backward into the wall, gasping for air.
Brandon,on the other hand,stood firm as a rock. He gazed solemnly at the person before uttering in surprise,”Mandy?”
Mandy finally caught her breath.She looked up at Brandon and was about to tell him what had happened,but she didn’t know where to start
“What happened?Where’s Natalie?”Brandon asked worriedly when he saw the panic in Mandy’s eyes.
Mandy bit her lips and replied,”I heard someone scream earlier,and it sounded like Natalies voice. When I went to the dressing room to find out what had happened with Draco,I learned that she.…She was missing.”
“Damn it!”Brandon whispered harshly under his breath as he clenched his fists angrly.
How dare someone kidnap Natalie right under his nose?
Mandy was frightened by Brandon’s murderous aura,and her legs went weak.She asked warily, “Was she kidnapped?What should we do?”
Brandon glanced at Mandy coldly,forcing himself to calm down before asking,”Was there any sign of struggling or bloodstains?”
Mandy swallowed hard as she tried to recall the state of the dressing room.”No…There isn’t..”she answered in a trembling tone as she shook her head.
As soon as she was done speaking,Brandon went past and hurried towards the dressing room.
Mandy tagged along hastily and soon calmed down.”I went to check with
Draco right after heard the scream.I think….I think Natalie wasn’t in the dressing room when something happened to her,”she said more coherently.
Brandon paused and glanced at Mandy.”Continue,“ he said commandingly
“The cheers from the audience were deafening, and there is a distance between the dressing room and the stage.If something happened to Natalie in the dressing room,I shouldn’t have been able to hear her scream.So,she must have been in the corridor when she went missing,”Mandy analyzed despite feeling nervous.
Brandon nodded and replied,”Let’s check the dressing room first.”
In the dressing room,Brandon quickly scanned the surroundings.Everything was neat and tidy,just like how it was when he left.There were no signs of struggle.
Mandy was right.Natalie wasn’t kidnapped in the dressing room.
He quickly exited the room while dialing Sean’s number
The call quickly connected,and Brandon ordered coldly,”Bring the bodyguards over.Natalie is missing.”
“What?She is missing?ll be right over!”Sean replied dutifully.
After hanging up,Brandon carefully searched the corridor from the dressing room to the runway for clues.
Brandon examined every nook and cranny along the corridor.Sure enough,he saw some signs of dragging a few yards away from the runway.
Mandy also saw it and stared in disbelief.“So Natalie was so close to the runway when she disappeared.No wonder I could hear her scream even when the audience was so loud…”she mumbled
Suddenly,a tinge of guilt flashed through her eyes. “If I had been more alert and came over to check as soon as I heard her voice,perhaps Natalie would still be safe,”she scolded herself.
“It was not your fault,”Brandon assured.He didn’t want to vent his anger on others.Instead,he said sensibly,”The kidnapper obviously had a plan. Even if you rushed over,it would probably have been pointless.You might even be taken away alongside Natalie.”
Besides,Brandon knew how shrewd the mysterious pharmacist was.The pharmacist could easily administer a drug that causes their victims to faint without them noticing.
Therefore,there was nothing Mandy could do, even if she rushed over.Things might even be worse if she did.
Despite Brandon’s assurance,Mandy still felt a little guilty.Her eyes were slightly red as she bit her lip and silently prayed for Natalie’s safety.
Brandon quickly dialed his subordinate’s number and ordered,”Block every exit in this venue.Don’t let anyone escape.”
His subordinate replied respectfully,”Roger that. We are now dispatching our men to guard every doorway and the underground garage.No one or vehicle will be allowed to leave.’
Just then,Sean finally arrived.He felt extremely guilty after learning about Natalie’s disappearance from Brandon.

“I’m sorry,Boss.This is my fault.Had I arranged enough bodyguards around Mrs.Larson,she wouldn’t have been kidnapped,”Sean apologized sincerely.
Brandon looked at Sean coldly and asked,”Where were you?”
Sean felt Brandon’s murderous gaze on him and quickly explained,”We found the suspect who poisoned the models in the bathroom.I was afraid he would escape,so l led the team to pursue him. I didn’t expect…I didn’t expect the perpetrators would use this as an opportunity to kidnap Mrs.Larson.”
Brandon’s eyes were dark and cold as if a storm was brewing deep within him.”Good,excellent … They are toying with me.How intriguing!”he chuckled ominously.
Despite working for Brandon for many years,this was the first time Sean felt such a terrifying aura from Brandon.Sean was almost scared out of his wits.He dug his nails into his palms to maintain his composure as he asked,”Boss,what should we do now?”
Mandy was also struggling to keep calm as she was intimidated by Brandon’s aura.She never knew that people could be this terrifying.It was as if a demon was rising from hell,ready to destroy the world
Brandon glance at Sean coldly and ordered,”Go and watch the doorways in this building.Do not let anyone slip away.”
He stared straight at Sean and emphasized,”You must find her for me.”
