Timothy’s expression remained stern as he ordered, “Get the person in charge of this island on the line.”

He needed to locate Ginger as soon as possible.

After all, he still had her umbrella with him!

In no time, the hotel manager, Matthew Crosby, hurried over. “I apologize, Mr. Barrett. Our staff

overlooked your identity. I’ll escort you to review the surveillance footage right away. Please, come with

me.”

Timothy followed Matthew to a nearby lounge, where Matthew set up a laptop and brought up the surveillance footage of the lobby.

Timothy watched as Ginger skipped into the lobby and then turned toward a staircase, disappearing from

view.

Matthew furrowed his brow and remarked, “Mr. Barrett, as you know, our hotel has its peculiarities; some

sections lack surveillance coverage.”

“Could a child easily wander into those areas?”

“Usually, they shouldn’t have access to those locations. However, security might have overlooked her

due to the high number of guests today.

“But don’t worry, I’ll dispatch someone to search for her right away. You can return to your room and relax. I’ll inform you as soon as we have any updates.”

With that, Timothy exited the lounge and took the elevator directly to his exquisite suite upstairs.

As he settled onto the sofa, he noticed Heath holding the red umbrella.

Feeling annoyed, he remarked, “Instruct the staff to search the vicinity.”

“Got it, I’ll immediately coordinate with security to initiate a search.”

Timothy reclined on the sofa and swiftly dialed Caleb’s number. “Where are you?”

“I’m currently at the basement level playing cards. Looks like you’ve made it.”

“Stay alert. If you see a three or four–year–old girl wearing a light–yellow dress with braided pigtails,

inform me immediately.”

Caleb was puzzled. “We’re in the basement, it’s highly unlikely to find such a young child here.”

“Enough chatter. Just keep an eye out.”

“Alright, alright.”

After ending the call, Timothy poured himself a glass of water, but his nerves remained unsettled. He glanced at Heath. “Any updates?”

“Not at the moment.”

Just as he finished speaking, Timothy’s phone rang, displaying an unknown number.

Given that only a select few had his personal phone number, it was highly unusual for a stranger to call. Typically, he wouldn’t entertain such calls.

However, this time, he answered almost instinctively. “Hello, who’s calling?”

A tearful voice came from the other end, “Mister, please help me!”

Timothy’s complexion paled, and he swiftly rose from the sofa. “Where are you?”

“I don’t know. It’s dark, and there are bad people trying to kidnap me!”

“Describe the buildings around you. I’ll come immediately. Stay hidden and don’t come out.”

Initially. Timothy had planned to keep the line open, but the caller abruptly hung up after speaking.

Without delay, he gathered his team and proceeded to the intersection where Ginger had disappeared.

Just then, Matthew appeared. “Mr. Barrett, why have you come personally? Our staff is already searching

for her.”

Timothy’s tone was stern. “Is there a place here with colorful lights and ancient statues?”

“Yes, there is but

it’s highly unlikely for a child to be there.”

“Take me there immediately,” Timothy promptly ordered.

Leading the way with his team, he arrived at the location and called out loudly, “You can come out now.”

Shortly after, a thudding sound emerged from a nearby coffic

Timothy approached and lifted the lid of the small coffit; Just as expected, he discovered Ginger hiding inside. The moment she saw him, she burst into tears. “Mister”

Timothy crouched down and gently lifted Ginger into his arms. She clung tightly to his neck, crying inconsolably.
