Chapter 345 - Zio Disappeared

Just when Julian wanted to mention the bidding number again, suddenly Andi came and whispered to him. 

"Boss, Zio is missing". Andi whispered with a little trembling and fear. 

"What?". Julian stood with a dark expression while looking at Andi.

Instantly everyone becomes shocked and focuses on Julian. 

"Julian, what's wrong?". Viona asked in confusion. 

Seeing Viona holding Julian's hand, Qiara's face turned red with a deadly gaze. 

"So, he came with his future wife?". Inner Qiara, looking down sadly.

Without saying anything, Julian immediately ran out with Andi to find Zio.

"Well, this painting fell to the final bid for 70 billion". The hammer was knocked on and the painting belonged to Maxwell. 

Unfortunately, Maxwell was dissatisfied that his victory was not because Julian admitted defeat, but that his victory was free. 

"What happened with Julian? Why does he seem in such a hurry? Did something happen to Zio?". Qiara's mind started to worry and was shaking. 

"I have to go right now boss!". Qiara said as she stood up and then said goodbye to Maxwell without waiting for what Maxwell would say. 

Quickly, Qiara left the auction site following Nathan and Viona, who had already run after Julian without them knowing what had happened. 

"Qiara wait!". Just as Qiara walked out of the door, Demian withdrew her hand quickly.

Demian noticed Qiara's existence so he immediately ran after her without paying attention to Rena's gaze. 

"Sorry, you're in the wrong person. I'm Liana not Qiara. Excuse me!". Qiara said as he let go of Demian's hand sarcastically.

After that, Qiara ran to find where Julian had gone. However, Demian didn't want to give up, he ran after Qiara. 

Meanwhile, Maxwell is silent for a moment, after which he makes a call to his men. 

"Hello boss!".

"Find out what happened to Mr. Ju outside the hall!". Exclaimed Maxwell with a dark expression. 

"Yes boss!". Said the person on the other side of the telephone.

After making the call, Maxwell also walked out of the auction room. Meanwhile, Rena could not go because she had to end the event so as not to make the guests restless. 

Just as Qiara was standing in front of one of the stairs leading to the second floor of the building, suddenly someone was smothering her from behind using a handkerchief that had anesthetic in it. Instantly, Qiara became limp and passed out. 

"Qiara ...".

Demian shouted in an echoing voice, when he saw Qiara being dragged up the stairs. Instantly Demian ran fast to catch up with her. 

Meanwhile, Julian was surprised when he heard a scream that called out Qiara's name.

"What's wrong, boss?". Andi asked in surprise when he saw that his boss had stopped. 

"I heard clearly that someone was calling Qiara's name, what's wrong with her?". Julian thought while clenching his fists. 

"Boss?". Andi touched Julian's shoulder to bring him out of his reverie. 

Julian immediately turned to Andi with a confused look. 

"How about this, I feel uneasy. My son and his mother seem to be in trouble. But, Qiara has Maxwell who will help her, while my son is not". Inner Julian. 

"Let's continue the search!". After saying that, Julian invited Andi back to continue their search. 

Meanwhile, Viona and Nathan searched another section after they found out that Zio was missing.

Just then, Viona's cellphone rang.

"Nathan, I'll look over there, you and Natalie just continue in the direction that was planned!". Exclaimed Viona before picking up the call.

"Okay".

After saying that, Nathan led Natalie to run in the direction they had agreed to. 

Meanwhile Viona found a lonely place to receive the call.

"Hi Virsen, what are you doing by making calls to me?". Viona asked angrily after shifting the green icon on her cellphone. 

"Hello my beautiful cousin, I have happy news for you!". Virsen said with a chuckle. 

"Don't tell me that you kidnapped Zio?".

"I didn't kidnap him, I just asked him to play according to your orders. He just needs to stay away so you and Julian can be alone, isn't that right ?. But, that's not my happy news!". Virsen replied in a relaxed tone. 

"You are reliable, now tell me where Zio is". Viona said with a sly smile.

"That naughty little boy was sitting with me. But, I have got rid of his biological mother. Are you happy, sis? Hahahaha ...". Virsen replied with a chuckle with pride and joy that he had the opportunity to drive Julian crazy. 

Viona was shocked to hear what Virsen said, she did not expect Virsen to catch Qiara as well.

"So, Qiara is in this place? Is this a lucky night for me? If these two barriers disappear, of course Julian will be completely mine". Viona thought with a wicked smile.

"How could you catch Zio's mother? As far as I know she's in another city". Asked Viona who was starting to be curious. 

"Hahaha ... You are a fool, don't you know that your romantic rival has met your future husband. In fact, she is at this event. Aren't you worried about that?". Said Virsen who casually called his older cousin stupid.

Viona was even more surprised when she heard Virsen's explanation, she didn't expect that Qiara would be in this city and at the same event as her.

"How do you know if that damn woman is in this town?".

"That's easy for me, that's why I came to this city to prevent that woman from blocking your marriage. Am I not a good cousin?". Virsen replied with arrogance and arrogance.

"Alright, this time I will thank you. Now, tell me where Zio is, so I can be the first to find him!". Said Viona who suddenly changed plans.

"I'll send the location to you!". After saying that, Virsen immediately hung up without saying anything else because that's the way a Virsen is. 

"You psychopath". Viona thought, after that she rushed to find Julian so she could look for Zio together and not be suspected.

Meanwhile on top of the Rena's Gallery building, Qiara who was sedated, woke up when she was splashed with water. She realized quickly that the anesthesia was not very strong.

"Who are you?". Qiara asked with bulging eyes as she could see perfectly. 

Qiara tried to free herself, but her hands were tightly bound so she could not escape.
