Chapter 1034


    Chapter 1034 Soren Was Threatened


    For the time being, Walter and Eunice were being cautious with their every move, leaving no traces for


    others to find their weak points. However, Nichs had an alternative starting point.


    “Go see the stage operator again,” he ordered in a low tone.


    Edward nodded, understanding that Nichs was trying to dig up information from Soren. Then, he left


    the study room and headed to the ce Soren was being held at.


    “Why did you withdraw your statement? Do you wish to stay behind the bars forever?” When Edward


    saw Soren, the former cut to the chase without wasting any second.


    To his surprise, Soren answered his question with a neutral tone that betrayed no emotions. “I do.”


    Edward had a hunch that Soren’s attitude seemed a little off. Furrowing his brows, Edward pressed,


    “Did something happen?”


    However, Soren refused to answer him.


    After that, no matter what question Edward shot at him, Soren kept his silence, leaving Edward with no


    choice but to leave for the moment.


    Edward got in his car, but the more he thought about Soren’s attitude, the more his intuition was telling


    him that something didn’t add up. Thus, he immediately took out his phone and called Nichs.


    “President Sawyer, something is off about Soren’s attitude. I asked him if he wanted to stay in custody,


    and he told me that he would like to.”


    Then, Edward briefed Nichs on his meeting with Soren a while ago.


    The man on the other side of the phone remained silent for a few seconds before his calm voice


    reached Edward. “There’s no way he doesn’t want freedom, unless he was threatened by someone.


    You should check on his family.”


    “I understand. I’ll work on it.” Understanding dawned on Edward, and he gave the other man new


    insight. After ending the call, Edward headed to Soren’s house without any dy.


    However, he found Evan alone in the house once he arrived at his destination. Her expression seemed


    a little off to him as if something was troubling her.


    “Madam Evan, why are you alone? Where’s your son? I don’t see him here.”


    Edward was asking out of politeness, never expecting his words would trigger something inside her


    mind and cause her to burst into tears before him.


    “Mr. Jackson, please help me! They kidnapped my son and asked me to not tell the police.” Evan


    grabbed Edward’s hands with an agitated look on her face, and her wobbling legs were ready to kneel


    for him.


    Taken aback by her sudden reaction, Edward stopped her from kneeling by grabbing her arms as he


    consoled her, “What happened? Calm down. I’m here for you.”


    “I wasn’t allowed to call the police, and they told me that my son wille back to me safely after three


    days. But my husband is innocent! He can’t go to jail!”


    Due to the panic spreading within her chest, Evan was unable to express herself fluently.


    Even though her words were incoherent, Edward seeded to sort them out and get a rough idea of


    the story—somebody held Soren and Evan’s son hostage, and threatened Soren to take responsibility


    for the ident.


    At that moment, Edward could only ease her worries with his words. “Madam Evan, please calm


    yourself. We’re in this together.”


    …


    The next morning, as soon as Nichs arrived at his office, Edward knocked on the door and walked


    inside to greet him.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “President Sawyer, I’ve talked to Evan. I can guarantee that Soren only chose to withdraw his


    statement due to his son being kidnapped.”


    Edward then informed Nichs of his findingsst night. Atst, the former concluded, “I believe that


    Eunice’s father, Walter, is the one behind this. He has the strongest incentive.”


    After he finished his report, Nichs’ expression fell and turned darker. “Find a way to track down this


    kid. Protect him at all costs.”


    “Yes, President Sawyer.” Edward nodded and left, leaving Nichs pondering alone in the office.


    His cold gaze fell into a point in the distance, his eyes freezing with determination.


    He wouldn’t let Eunice get away without facing the consequences. Nichs believed that she simply


    had to pay for her mistakes. Moreover, she was a potential harm to his wife and son.


    In the following few days, the news online rted to Sofia Symphony went on, but the discussion


    amongizens had shifted toward the topic of the potential new leader of Group Two in the orchestra.


    ‘I think Tessa is the mostpetitive among the candidates.’


    ‘I agree with thest post. Most of Sofia’s students already have their own group except Tessa, who


    holds no position in the orchestra.’


    ‘Her chance is high since she’s capable and prestigious. Moreover, she is Sofia’s immediate student.


    That alone is enough to beat otherpetitors.’


    Meanwhile, Eunice was staying at home, but she was beyond angry with theizens’ments.
