Eudora was in good spirits when they returned, and she thought of going out for a walk. However, she was held back by Amos once again.
He pushed her straight to the bed. Amos yed with the tips of her hair as he said,“It’s your bedtime! Time to sleep.”
Eudora teased him yfully,“Why don’t you sleep with me then?”
Before she could say anything else, Amos had already started to undress.Eudora was dumbfounded.
This guy really knew no bounds.
At this moment, Amos had already taken her into his arms, “Sleep!”
Eudora yawned. She wondered if she had gotten ustomed to sleeping at this time of the day. She closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep.
It wasn’t until her breathing had gradually slowed down that Amos finally let go of her. He thengot up to get dressed before leaving.
He went to the study and made a phone call to Harley.
“How is it?”
“Amos!” Harley yelled.
Auntie Valerie, who was still a little worried, was delighted when she heard Harley’s voice through the phone. She thought that Amos was extremely disappointed in her, butshe didn’t expect that he was still concerned about Weldon.
However, the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
She had done something that could potentially hurt the Madam.
Harley whispered the n through the call, “We are going to ask Auntie Valerie to be the bait.Then, we will catch them once they’ve fallen into the trap.”
Amos hummed lightly and then said, “Okay.”
After a pause, he added, “Don’t hurt the child.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Harley looked at his phone, and the corners of his lips twitched.Don’t hurt the child?Did Amos be protective of children after bing a father?He was so considerate to the extent of protecting other people’s children.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Harley couldn’t help butment. However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered about Thea.
He and Thea had spent the night together not too long ago. It would be nice if she had gotten pregnant too.
However, his mood immediately dipped when hethought about the fact that Thea was still trying to pursue that young man.
Why was he still thinking of that wr*tched woman?
Harley hung up the phone and then repeated the n with Auntie Valerie. After that, it was a lengthy wait.
Since he couldn’t contact the other party directly, he could only wait for the other party to take the initiative to call Auntie Valerie.
After a long wait, the phone finally rang, and Auntie Valerie scrambled to pick it up.
“Weldon!”
The other party was silent for a moment before smiling and saying, “Is it done?”
“Yes, it’s done!” Auntie Valerie nodded,“I’ve told the Madam everything, as per your instructions. She was heartbroken and she fainted from the shock.The doctors are treating her now.”
The man said with satisfaction, “I hope that you are telling the truth. Otherwise, your grandson will be doomed!”
Next to her was Harley, who gave Auntie Valerie a knowing look, signaling her to buy them more time.
It would take a bit of time for the police to track the other party’s phone signal with their tracking system.
Auntie Valerie quickly added, “Um, I want to speak to my grandson.”
The other party snorted,“Don’t you dare y tricks with me!” After that, they heard a thumping sound from the other end, as though someone had been kicked.Then, there was the sound of a child’s weak cry,“It hurts, Grandma.I’m in pain.”
Auntie Valerie was heartbroken,“Weldon, don’t be scared. Grandma ising to pick you up!”
The police next to them were beaming as they reminded her softly, “Just a little more. Soon…”
Auntie Valerie took a deep breath. She was about to speak when someone pushed the door open all of a sudden and ran in, “Mom, are you crazy?Didn’t you promise us that you would not call the police?”
Auntie Valerie’s hands shivered as she saw Tom and Nancy. It seemed that they had rushed back home as though they knew what she was up to.
The person on the other end of the line immediately snorted, “B*tch, I knew that you were up to something. Get ready to collect your grandson’s body!”
Auntie Valerie’s hand trembled and she dropped the phone to the ground.
Harley turned to look at his colleaguefrantically,who had already nodded as he said, “He’s in the city. I’ll locate their whereabouts right away.”
Harley sighed in relief and gestured to his other colleagues,“We’ll go over there right away and check the ce out.”
In a blink of an eye, Harley and his colleagues were on the move.
Auntie Valerie quickly caught up to him and requested, “Officer Louis, take me there. My grandson must be extremely frightened.”
Harley nodded and said, “Okay!”
However, he thought that it was unusual for Tom and Nancy to barge into the room out of a blue. He then asked,
“Why did you guyse back all of a sudden?”
Tom and Nancy were scared out of their wits by the man they had just met a while ago. The two of them mumbled a few times at Harley’s question before speaking incoherently.
“A stranger called us out of nowhere and insisted that we have called the police. The person told us toe back and have a look, hence, we immediately rushed home. We were afraid that he would harm Weldon…”
Auntie Valerie shook her head instantly,“Officer Louis, I didn’t tell anyone about this. I was with you the whole time.”
Harley frowned. His pupils dted in an instant,
“Oh no, we’ve been tricked.”
The other party was too devious.It was likely that he had never believed that Auntie Valerie wouldply with his orders since the very beginning. Hence, he had prepared a n B.
Tom and Nancy, on the other hand, had been manipted by the other party. The other party had probably done this just to make sure that Eudora had been afflicted by the whole ordeal.
A bad image shed past in his mind all of a sudden.
“Oh no, they are definitely going to do something nasty to Eudora!”
Harley took out his cell phonefranticallyand called Amos.
“What’s going on?”
“Amos, this is bad! Our n has been exposed to the other party. Where is Eudora? Is she in danger?”
Amos rushed out from the study in a heartbeat. He trotted across the hallway and opened the door to the bedroom. Eudora was still sleeping soundly in the room.
However, Amos did not let his guard down.He thought of Juju at this moment.
“Charlie!” Amos shouted in the heat of the moment, “You and Wesley mustensure the Madam’s safety at all times. Don’t let anyone get near her. I’m going out for a while.”
Charlie noticed the displeasure on Amos’ face. He knew that things must have gotten more serious.Therefore, he immediately nodded,“Got it!”
Amos then hung up the phone and grabbed the keys.The car sted out the next second.
…
Harley sent his colleague and Auntie Valerie to another location to rescue Weldon. Then, he rushed to the kindergartenpersonally.
The two men met in front of the kindergarten and entered the school hastily.
Everything was very quiet and peaceful outside the kindergarten.It didn’t seem like anything had happened.
It was about time for school to be dismissed. Soon,Amos found Juju’s teacher.
“Where is Naomi Granger? Did she already leave?”
The teacher smiled and nodded,“She has already left. I personally apanied her to the car. It was your chauffeur who came to pick her up.”
Amos immediately called the driver,“Is Miss Juju in the car?”
The driver nodded, “Yes, I’ve dropped the Little Miss at home. She’s ying with her ssmate happily right now.”
The rising adrenaline in Amos’ heart finally ttened.
However, the next second, he tensed up again,“ssmate? Who’s that?”
