Chapter: 1078
He got up and looked around. It was almost noontime, and the number of employees leaving the nearby building for lunch gradually increased. There were even more people outside. Carson searched the area but the kid was nowhere in sight.
Joey was missing.
He was still in the car ten minutes ago.
Carson's brows furrowed at the thought of this. He took out his phone and prepared to make a call. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of
Roger, who was walking out of the mansion.
He remembered seeing Joey staring at the Jimenez Group building when he was sitting in the passenger seat.
Before Roger could reach his office, he received a phone call from the branch. Something went wrong with a project they were working on, and he needed to deal with it, so he came back halfway.
When he was about to get in the back of the car, a hand suddenly pressed the door shut.
Roger turned around and was met by Carson's not-so-pleasant gaze.
Before he could even ask, Carson immediately asked, "Where's Joey?"
Confused, Roger replied, "Why are you here, Carson?"
Carson was now on a mission to find Joey because he was the one who took him outside. If something happened to the kid, he would have to face unimaginable consequences.
“I'm asking you. Where is Joey?"
"Joey?" Roger grew even more confused. Although he was aware that the
Sullivan family had a mew successor, he had been settling matters abroad recently and had no idea who the young man was. Carson's rude approach offended him. He felt irritated, but as a civilized individual, he did not lose his cool.
“You've got the wrong person, Carson. I don't know who you're talking about."
“Haven't you seen him?" Carson wanted to squeeze the answer out of him, but when he saw that Roger didn't seem to be lying, he felt a pang of panic rise within him.
Even Roger's assistant felt irritated by Carson's stern demeanor.
"Mr.
Jimenez has been busy since he returned yesterday. He didn't see a man named Joey at all." Without hesitation, he stood up for Roger.
Carson looked at Roger for a while and loosened the car door.
“I see.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to walk off.
Roger scowled as he looked at Carson's back. His assistant was perplexed and mumbled, “I don't get him. Joey? Who is he? The name does seem familiar, though."
Joey...
