NovelFinishChapter 735 Casper lowered his gaze, focusing intently on the weather forecast displayed on his tablet. The stretch of road Eliza was driving through was flagged as hazardous, with the relentless rain increasing the chances of landslides and rockslides. Casper's heart started to race with worry.
He tried calling Eliza several more times, but each attempt was met with silence. Dillon, who was familiar with the area shown on the tablet, knew it was famed for its raw, untouched beauty. This untouched nature was both stunning and dangerous, a fitting parallel to Crystal Clear's latest collection theme.

Dillon was aware of the collaboration between Gabe's company and Crystal Clear. But with three venues for Crystal Clear's launch event, he wasn't certain if that mountain location was one of Gabe's.
"Right now, that doesn't matter. It's pouring there, and I'm really worried about her safety," Casper said, his eyes clouded with worry and confusion. His unease was like a wave, growing stronger with each passing moment. "I can't reach anyone, and I'm in the dark about what's happening." "Mr. Casper, if you're really concerned, I'll head out there and take a look," Dillon offered.
Casper nodded, grateful for Dillon's initiative. "Yes, please do. You check things out, and I'll keep trying to get through. Let's stay connected." "Got it, Mr. Casper." Wasting no time, Dillon left the office and drove towards the area. Falconridge was already under a deluge. The heavy rain mirrored the turmoil in Casper's heart, casting a veil of anxiety over the city. His repeated calls to Eliza remained unanswered, the futile waiting gnawing at him like the cold rain seeping into his soul.
Twenty minutes after Dillon left, Casper called for his driver and set off for the destination himself. In the car, his eyes rarely left the tablet as he kept refreshing the weather updates.
"Lee, tune into the local rastation. I need the latest on the weather and traffic," Casper instructed, his voice heavy with worry.
The driver quickly complied. "On it, Mr. Casper." The car fought its way through the storm. By the tthey reached the second service area, the downpour was so fierce they couldn't go any further Casper sat in the car, peering through the rain-streaked window, his brow furrowed with concern.

There are constant rockfalls and frequent accidents, but so far things are okay on my end." "Be careful." "Will do, Mr. Casper." Once the call ended, Casper set his phone down gently. As the rain subsided a bit, they cautiously resumed their journey, rejoining the highway. But just as they got off the highway, Dillon called again,@rgency in his tone. "Mr. Casper, something bad happened." "Is it..." Casper's spine stiffened, dread creeping in. "Tell me." "There's been a serious accident up ahead. I recognized the license plate; it's Crystal Clear's van. The van's been crushed by falling rocks. It's... completely totaled."
Casper's world spun into darkness for a moment, leaving him reeling. He felt the ground shipping beneath him, En his voice escaping him. His finger@gripped the door hands ne tightly, desperation fueling his strength. "Is there any chance she wasn't in that van?" How could fate be so cruel? How could it be her van at that exact spot? This had to be a mistake, it just had to.
Dillon, shaken by the news himself, had already reached out to Crystal Clear. They'd confirmed only onen Wey'd vehicle was sent, with everyone on board. The van was nearly flattened by the boulders, leaving little hope for survivors.
