My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 574

About half an hour after Tristan’s speech, the staff informed her that there was still no sign of Sadie.

Emily Blair immediately contacted HR and told them to call the emergency contact Sadie had listed.

Sadie’s emergency contact was her best friend in town, but the friend hadn’t heard from Sadie either. She’d tried calling Sadie too, but her calls went unanswered.

Something was wrong.

Emily knew it in her gut.

She wasted no time and asked the event staff to review the security footage and track Sadie’s movements.

Everyone at this gala was a business professional, and the staff couldn’t afford to be careless.

But—

“Ms. Blair, I’m sorry.” The staff member sounded conflicted. “This is a high-profile event. There are some major players here. Management said we can’t just let anyone access the security cameras. I hope you understand.”

Emily’s brow furrowed.

The staff member quickly added, “But, management said if you file a police report and the police accept the case, then with their request, we can help you get the footage.”

Emily knew that option was pointless.

First, Sadie was an adult, fully capable of looking after herself. Second, she hadn’t been missing for twenty-four hours yet. The police would almost certainly refuse to open a case.

Emily’s frown deepened.

The conference hall had almost emptied out. The guests had all left, and the room was now wide open, nothing left to obscure her view.

Sadie was a responsible, competent adult—Emily shouldn’t be this worried.
