Chapter 31 - Trophy (2/2)

But knowing that the Zhao family are offering and no doubt they are better than the police, Shen Mao was thankful.

”Do not worry, CEO Shen. Young Master Zhao is working diligently to find your daughter. At the moment, we will set up here in case the kidnappers call for a ransom.”

Shen Mao allowed them in and set up the area. He went to check on his wife. He needed to be a strong man for both of them.

While Ming Zhao and his team scurried to find Lena, Gary had just completed the event. For the final round, it took him 10 minutes to defeat his opponent, a new record for him.

He was very happy and smiling. As they announced him as the winner and handed him his trophy, he stared into the VIP room where he had reserved for Lena.

His smile dropped and sadness filled his heart.

'She's not here…but she promised.'

He quickly left the stage and headed toward the room. He stood outside the door holding the trophy for a while before opening it.

He had his confirmation. She was not here. She lied to him again. What did he expect… it's not like she enjoyed being here anyway.

Gary slowly walked to the table where the untouched desserts were. He sat down on the sofa and pulled out his phone.

'One missed call… I bet it was to inform me that she couldn't make it.'

Gary threw his phone hard on the ground, its screen shattering as it clashed with the hard floor. He was angry and heartbroken. He had spent countless times trying to show his love for her and every time, she always break his heart. He thought that they were doing so well?

He left his trophy in the room and left. This time… he will not go searching for her. For once, he wants her to come searching for him right at his door.
