Chapter 1898: Disappearing Together


    Chapter 1898: Disappearing Together


    At dawn the next day, Felix, Vicki, and Luther Joyce gathered together. Joyce, with a pregnant belly, sat


    on the sofa, propping her chin with one hand, lost in thought, while Luther sat beside her, constantly


    making phone calls.


    After finishing a call, Joyce turned to Luther and asked, "Any news? Any results?"


    Luther shook his head. "Nothing at all. I had people check all the surveince near the schools, but we


    haven''t found any unusual vehicles. Until now, we still don''t know how they managed to take the two


    children out of the school."


    Joyce analyzed, "Athena doesn''t have the capability or the wit for this. Cloud is no longer here, and I


    suspect she might have new help around her."


    Felix entered at this moment. "It''s possible. But I just checked with my contacts at the border, and there

    were no suspicious individualsing from Rohomes to Pascaylia recently."


    Vicki chuckled coldly, "Who would use their real identity to enter? Creating a fake identity isn''t difficult.


    It''s likely that Athena''s maternal n in Rohomes is supporting her."


    Luther threw his phone aside. "Talking about this now is pointless. No matter who is with her, let''s focus


    on rescuing the children first."


    Joyce sighed, "The Bryant family is in chaos. Torrance called the school. She found me and begged


    me to help her, to save Kiki. I could tell she was desperate, crying and emotionally shattered. The


    Bryant family has a long history as an artistic family for a century, and they''ve always been low-key in


    Khebury. Reuben''s mother, Kempley, is currently in a mental hospital in Rohomes. Torrance,


    unmarried, manages the entire family. Kiki, although conceived through a sperm bank, is the only heir


    of the Bryant family. I thought Torrance didn''t have much affection for her own daughter, she never


    seemed to care for the child, except being strict and demanding. I didn''t expect that, at the end of the


    day, she''s still her flesh and blood; anyone would feel heartache."


    Joyce''s words were directed at Vicki, who wasn''t very familiar with the Bryant family''s situation. Vicki


    asked, "How did you talk to Torrance? Is Anderson safe now? Where is he?"


    Joyce shrugged, "I''ve had people take Anderson to the safest ce and increased the security around


    him. Torrance knows that my son hasn''t been kidnapped, so she asked me to use military force to help


    her find the children. I told her I would do my best and advised her not to act in haste. It''s crucial not to


    go around looking for help. Especially, I reminded her not to tell Reuben at the moment, to avoid


    escting the situation. We should try to resolve this ourselves without involving Rohomes and making


    it an international incident."


    "Can she understand that?" Vicki hadn''t met Torrance and was not very familiar with her.


    "She can. She''s the head of the Bryant family, very astute. By saying that, I''ve made it clear to her that


    this matter is rted to Rohomes. She knows, and won''t act recklessly." Joyce rubbed her hands.


    Luther interjected, "The trouble now is that Westbrook is also involved. When I talked to Anderson, I


    specifically asked. Anderson said that before leaving, he explicitly told Westbrook not to stay at the


    school and to go back early. At that time, he even looked back and saw Westbrook beginning to pack


    up to leave. But Westbrook ultimately stayed to apany Kiki. If Westbrook hadn''t been captured,


    things would have been easier to handle. We could have involved international organizations. Felix, I


    really don''t want to drag your family into this again. The Saunders family has finally found peace. This


    is something I should handle myself."


    "You are being too formal with that statement." Felix''s face darkened. "Things have already reached


    this point, and now that the Saunders family is involved, I won''t stand idly by. Besides, even if


    Westbrook hadn''t been captured, I wouldn''t ignore your situation. Athena, in cooperation with Seren,


    has trapped the Saunders family like this, and I will settle that score with her."


    "Westbrook is, after all..." Joyce paused. "After all, he''s Seren''s son. I thought maybe you would


    consider abandoning him, which would be understandable. Not to mention abandoning him, at least


    there wouldn''t be the need for a big fuss, to avoid any entanglements."


    Luther nced at Vicki. "You can''t hide his parentage forever. Sooner orter, Westbrook will know


    who his father is and how he died. Have you considered that raising the enemy''s son might cause


    trouble? I know you''re kind-hearted, but if you find it difficult, you can leave itto me. I can take him


    abroad and find a good family to adopt him. While he''s still young, his memories of this time will fade as


    he grows up. This way, he can receive a good education, and won''t cause you trouble in the future."


    "No need. If I can''t handle such a little brat, then what''s the point of all my years in this business? Mr.


    Warner, you don''t need to worry. I have my ways to tame him. Right now, the priority is to rescue him.


    After all, he''s just a child. The mistakes of the previous generation shouldn''t be ced on his


    shoulders." Vicki''s voice was resolute.


    "Vicki, you have a great tolerance, truly admirable," Joyceughed. "Alright, since it''s decided, let''s


    start making a n. We can''t continue to be at the mercy of Athena. Instead of constantly worrying


    about her attacking us, this time we mustpletely resolve this matter."


    "Of course," Vicki agreed.


    "But right now, we have no news about the children. We''re only specting that they''ve been


    kidnapped by Athena, and she hasn''t contacted us yet. She hasn''t made any demands. What should


    we do?" Felix asked.


    "She simply hasn''t brought it up yet. Rest assured, she will contact us. It''s just a matter of time. I''m


    afraid she''s currently deploying how to capture all of us," Luther said, ncing at the pitch-ck night


    outside, thick as ink, imprably dark.


    After a pause, he coldly chuckled, "It should be soon."


    In his mind, he pondered that this time, he had to thoroughly deal with Athena. Suddenly, a pang of


    pain struck his chest, almost leaving him breathless. His face paled for a moment, and he turned aside,


    quietly wiping away the beads of sweat on his forehead. His bleeding episodes had decreased recently,


    urring only asionally, but the symptoms of palpitations and profuse sweating had significantly


    worsened. He knew that the poisoning he had been subjected to had entered its next stage. He didn''t


    have much time left, but even in death, he was determined to ensure that Athena disappeared from this


    world. He absolutely couldn''t leave this cmity behind for Joyce.
