Chapter 487


    When Mary changed her mind not to smoke without ming him for smoking, Adrian


    heaved a sigh of relief with a pair of furrowed eyebrows on his face. “Why are you still


    up at this hour?” Mary usually went to bed straight away after putting the children to


    sleep. However, she went downstairs that night for some reason and caught the


    unsuspecting Adrian smoking, although it was his first and only time trying to do that


    secretly.


    Instead of answering Adrian’s question, Mary asked, “Why are you smoking here?


    Shouldn’t you be in bed at this time?” As soon as she made her question heard, neither


    of them said a single word.


    After a brief silence, Adrian said, “Something seems off to me.”


    Upon hearing her husband’s words, Mary looked at him with bewilderment. “Are we


    thinking about the same thing?” The two of them then exchanged gazes with each


    other, seemingly able to read each other’s minds. After all, both of them shared a deep


    love for their children, which was why they knew what was wrong, considering what


    had happened.


    “I know Peter assured us that they’ll be fine, but…‘ Mary paused for a second and


    added, “I couldn’t help but feel something wrong with their tone when he told us that.”


    Adrian responded with an affirmative nod. “Yeah, I agree. It’s been a while since they


    Although the couple expected ric to get in touch with them less than before after he


    grew up, they couldn’t help but find it strange for him to bepletely out of reach.


    “Victoria’s phone seems to be shut down all the time, and even though someone picked


    up the phone when we called ric, it was always Peter’s voice that came from the


    other end every time.” Mary was then reminded of Terrance’s promise that ric and


    Victoria would be fine as the two of them only entrusted her and Adrian with their


    children because they had some important business to take care of. Shouldn’t she at


    least give us a phone call or a video call even if she couldn’te back? When I was


    her age, I would call back to check on my son, no matter where I was. So, what the heck


    is Victoria really doing now? It almost looks like she just disappeared.


    After a long silence, Adrian finally spoke his mind. “Maybe we should call the police.”


    Mary knitted her eyebrows. “We don’t really know what’s going on yet. If we get the


    cops involved, we couldplicate matters and even put our son and Victoria in


    trouble.”


    He pursed his lips, agreeing with his wife. “You have a point. In that case, maybe we


    should call Terrance and tell him to meet us. I doubt he would lie to us.”


    She gave Adrian a doubtful gaze. Although Adrian had always been a loving husband,


    she also knew him as a sessful businessman who had resorted to extreme


    measures on multiple asions before he got this far. Because of that, she was sure


    the only people he would treat kindly were those from his family. At the thought of that,


    Mary blinked and tried to calm Adrian down. “Well, just make sure you’re going to talk to


    him nicely, alright? You don’t want to scare him too much.”


    “Don’t worry about that. He works for our son, and I don’t think he has the guts to hide


    anything from us.” Adrian reacted with a nod.


    “Well, you still don’t want to scare him either. After all, we need information from him.”


    Adrian eventually gave in, thanks to his sympathy for Mary. “Alright, I get you. Don’t


    worry.” Adrian stood up directly.


    “Now?” Mary was surprised. “But it’ste now. Why don’t you sleep on it and act


    tomorrow?”


    He replied, “No, the darkness gives us a perfect opportunity to catch her off guard.”


    “Alright then, get back home as soon as you’re done.”


    “Alright, Honey. Rest well straight away. Don’t wait on me.”


    After Adrían finished his words and left home, Mary stood and watched as she let out a


    sigh. Deep down, she sincerely hoped Victoria and ric would be fine so that she


    could stop worrying about them. Soon, Mary headed upstairs and was about to head to


    bed straight away, but since she didn’t feel sleepy at all, she took her two grandsons

    into the room and decided to keep thempany until Adrian came back. Although


    Adrian told her not to wait on him, she couldn’t fall asleep at all because she was too


    eager to learn news about ric and Victoria. Therefore, she waited nervously for her


    husband’s return.

    Meanwhile, Terence was just done taking care of his business. When they found ric,


    he was still unconscious. At first, he was going to ask about Victoria’s whereabouts, but


    ric’s henchmen quickly answered, “Bane has a crush on Miss Selwyn, so I think she


    is going to be fine by his side. Instead, Mr. Cadogan should be our priority right now as

    he is still unconscious. So, we should get him back as soon as possible before anything


    worse happens.”


    “What are you talking about?! No, we’re not leaving her. Miss Selwyn only got herself in


    trouble because she wanted to save Mr. Cadogan. If we do that, we’re going to be


    despicable ingrates!”


    “I disagree, Mr. Levane. Bane has a crush on Miss Selwyn, which makes him Mr.


    Cadogan’s love rival. I believe Miss Selwyn came here knowing that. Don’t you think so?


    Anyway, what I’m sure of is that he didn’t pull his punches when he hurt Mr. Cadogan. I


    mean, he is still unconscious until now, and god knows how long he had been fainting


    there. If we don’t rush him to a hospital, Mr. Cadogan’s situation could get worse, which


    would render Miss Selwyn’s sacrifice in vain. Aren’t I right?”

    Terrance was almost convinced, but deep down, he still couldn’t bring himself to make


    the decision. After all, his guilt and conscience would not allow him to take ric away


    without rescuing Victoria. At the same time, he also found it strange that Victoria lost


    touch with them the moment she got onto the ne, but nheless, he subsequently


    found out that she had gone to the hospital. Later, when Terrance arrived at the


    hospital to meet up with Victoria, his effort was thwarted because the ce was too


    heavily guarded by Bane’s men. Due to that, he couldn’t find a chance to meet up with


    Victoria.


    “Mr. Levane, you’re the only person who could make that decision among us. Please


    think about it. We’re racing against time, and the situation can’t wait much longer.”


    Terrance apologized to Victoria on the inside and went on to take ric back to their


    country. However, before he could settle down, he got a phone call from Adrian and


    Mary and was forced to lie to them that the two of them were fine. Worried that he


    might blurt out something he shouldn’t, he quickly hung up the call. After that, he was


    so busy looking for a ce to put ric up that he didn’t even have time to worry about


    the situation until he was done taking care of those matters.


    Nevertheless, when Terrance was finally done taking care of that matter, he began to


    get worried that Adrian and Mary would see through his lie, thinking they were not that


    easy to fool. At the thought of that, he sat up straight anxiously and wondered whether


    he should call back to exin his action. Just as he was about to do that, he suddenly


    heard the doorbell ringing.
