“Byron?”Rosalie, who took the children to the car, saw Byron interrogating Lucille.When she saw Byron seemed mad, she quickly stopped the kids. Then, she reminded Byron to pay attention and not use violence with the kids around her.Byron’s grip tightened. However, after a second, he let go of Lucille and beckoned the bodyguards to let go of her.Lucille panted in terror and desperately tried to escape, but her feet seemed rooted, and she could not lift them.“Daddy!”The three little ones saw their daddy, who was tall, and greeted him warmly even when Rosalie stopped them.The scene seemed harmonious, so Rosalie let go of the kids.The little ones saw Lucille, who seemed strange, standing by the side. Even so, they greeted her obediently, “Ms. Crane.”Lucille was drowned in dread, and she did not notice the kids’ voices.The kids looked at the adults beside them when Lucille did not respond to their greeting.“Daddy, what are you doing here with Ms. Crane?”Nox asked in
Knowing there was nothing she could do to help by staying, Rosalie turned around and got into the car.Watching them leave, Byron took the other bodyguards into their respective cars.Soon, the cars left the kindergarten.Lucille was blindfolded throughout. All she heard was the car engine roaring.“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I know my mistake. Please show me mercy…”Lucille kept pleading for mercy as panic rose in her.There was no response from the car.The car slowed down.Lucille felt her heart hammer so hard that it was about to leap out of her throat. She was so nervous that she could not breathe. Many scenes from the TV shows she watched flashed across her mind.With Byron’s wealth and status, getting rid of her would be as easy as killing an ant.Her panic peaked when one of them tied her with a rope.Lucille gasped, and she fainted.When she woke up again, she was on the rooftop of a building, and a small helicopter was not far away from her.“Did you sleep well, M
Byron stared at her coldly for a few seconds, then let go of her collar.Lucille almost landed face down on the ground. She panted heavily, thinking that she had been released."Tie her up."Byron’s ice-cold voice instructed from above.Lucille drew a sharp breath as if she was being suffocated.‘Tie me up? Tie me where?’She looked up in a panic. There was a small helicopter in front of her.For a moment, Lucille felt that she was about to faint again.However, the bodyguard did not give her this chance. He dragged her involuntarily and tied her directly under the helicopter.After a while, the chopper blades began to spin.Lucille was tied up tightly and struggled desperately."You'd better not thrash around. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't fall halfway through the journey."Byron said in her ear indifferently, "The scenery in Coast City is not bad. However, I can only give you a tour of the suburbs, Ms. Crane. Let's take this as a reward for you telling the t
Mrs. Zora concluded that perhaps the young couple had gotten into a quarrel. She tried to persuade her."Young Lady, Young Master really cares about you. If he accidentally misspoken or lost his temper, it’s only because he cares about you. Please don't be upset with him..."Rosalie realized that Mrs. Zora had misunderstood, but she had no time to explain. "I see, I'll call him right away. Don't worry."After that, she anxiously hung up and scrolled her contact list to find Byron's phone number. Just as she was about to call, an idea came to her.She looked back at the three little ones. "I need to go out for a while. You kids stay at home and go to bed early, okay?"The little ones overheard the call from Mrs. Zora just now.Nox asked directly, "Mommy, are you going to see Mr. Byron?"Rosalie did not hide anything. She nodded at the little boy. "Take good care of your sister. No matter who comes, don't open the door, and no sneaking out!"The little ones nodded obediently. "
Byron embraced her with all his might, afraid that she would leave. "Don't go."Actually… he longed to see her and wanted to feel her presence in his arms. Yet, he had to restrain himself for fear of frightening the children.Now that she came by herself, how could Byron let her go just like that?Unsure if it was her illusion, Rosalie felt that Byron seemed a little uneasy.She hesitated for a moment. Then, she reached out and hugged the person in front of her. Her voice was soft. "I’m not leaving. I just wanted to say that I could wait downstairs for a while if you were busy."After all, this was about the children. How could Rosalie leave without getting an answer?Hearing this, the strength in Byron's arms gradually eased.Rosalie patted him on the back reassuringly before leaving his embrace. "What happened? Why are you..."Byron’s heart calmed down at the sight of the woman in front of him.However, the result of his interrogation brought a cold tone to his voice. "Lucil
The police were highly efficient. Furthermore, this involved the Lawrence family. The authorities started an investigation overnight without delay.As soon as Lucille woke up, she was taken to the police station by Luther.The experience in the evening left her with lingering fears. Without much effort, the police obtained a strong testimony from her, along with many phone records between her and Wendy.After the evidence was obtained, the arrest operation was launched immediately.In the villa in the suburbs at midnight.Magdalene lay on the bed, tossing and turning.Henry scolded her in displeasure, "What are you doing, not sleeping at all? That black sheep has left. Do you want to go with her too?"Magdalene was a little uneasy, and she said cautiously, "Don't say that. Wendy is still our daughter, after all. Didn’t you go along with the things she did back then? You’re blaming her now that things have been exposed! I’m worried about how she’s alone outside now..."Then, she
The police put the two elderly under surveillance and contacted Byron immediately."What? You don’t know her whereabouts?"Byron's expression sank after hearing from the police. "What did Henry and Magdalene say?"The police said, "They don't know either. We’ve been searching hard. I thought since you and Wendy were… Maybe if you call her, she might respond."The implication was to use Byron as bait.Byron frowned slightly and glanced at the woman beside him.Rosalie did not hear what was said on the line. She was slightly puzzled when she met his gaze."I see. I'll try."Byron spoke a little, then hung up the phone.Rosalie asked, "What's wrong?""Wendy is missing. Henry Fuller told the police he drove Wendy out after that photo was leaked, and her whereabouts are unknown now."Byron's expression was serious. "The police hope that I’ll cooperate with them and contact Wendy to see if I can lure her out."Rosalie nodded in understanding and looked at him nervously.First, B
Wendy's mind went blank when she exited the hotel. She could not think of what to do next.Of course, the villa in the suburbs was no longer an option.Byron must have placed his men in that area.She could not stay in the hotel anymore...In desperation, Wendy chose to call Andrea.On the other end, Andrea had already fallen asleep. Abruptly woken up by the phone ring, she subconsciously wanted to hang up.She took a glimpse at the caller ID, and suddenly she was wide awake. Her eyes filled with impatience.‘Wendy Fuller! How long is this woman going to pester me?!’She adjusted her mood before picking up the phone. "Sister Wendy, is there anything I can do for you?""Where are you now? I'll be waiting for you downstairs in the hotel. Come out and meet me now. Don't let anyone find out!"Wendy's voice sounded tense.Andrea's heart sank inexplicably. Before she could speak, her body was already moving instinctively."What's the matter? What happened? What do you want me to
