Chapter 239


    Nathan had just walked into the conference room, about to chair an important meeting.


    Suddenly, his phone buzzed. It was Shirley calling. Nathan picked up in a hurry.


    "Mr. Nathan, we''re in deep trouble. Lucy''s gone missing, Janice is out like a light and can''t be


    woken up, and Keith''s been crying non-stop."


    Nathan jumped to his feet so suddenly that he knocked over the chair behind him. He bolted out of


    the conference room in a sh.


    The other executives were left stunned.


    In the blink of an eye, Nathan had vanished.


    "What just happened?"


    All eyes turned to Hayden Blue.


    Hayden was Nathan''s younger brother and vice president of thepany. But despite their


    rtionship, the executives didn’t think much of his capabilities. Compared to Nathan, Hayden was


    like a drop in the ocean. But he had a silver tongue and was known to be the apple of Grandma


    Savannah''s eye.


    In a prominent family like the Blues, it''s usually the eldest who shouldered the family


    responsibilities, while the younger ones were doted on by the parents.


    Grandma Savannah was indeed fond of Hayden. She had a respectful rtionship with Nathan, but


    itcked the warmth of a mother-son bond.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Everyone stared at the clueless Hayden, who said, "Nathan got a call and dashed off. I have no


    idea what happened, so stop staring at me."


    He felt quite ufortable.


    "But if something made Nathan dash off like that, it must have been a call from Janice," Hayden


    spected.


    As soon as Janice was mentioned, everyone stopped staring at Hayden.


    Nathan waspetent, handsome, and wealthy. Even though he was already married, he had a


    long line of women after him. Many of his admirers said they didn''t need any status from him; they


    just wanted to be his secret lovers.


    Unfortunately for them, Nathan was loyal to Janice. No matter how many women chased after him,


    he rejected them all, giving them no chance. They could only look on with envy, feeling jealous of


    Janice.


    Especially since Janice had struck gold, giving birth to twins a year after marrying into the Blue


    family.


    This stirred up even more envy and jealousy.


    Nathan''s love for Janice was indescribable. He was always there for her, dropping whatever he was


    doing to rush home when she called.


    Everyone at Skywatch knew Nathan, the head of the Blue family and CEO of Blue Corporation, was


    a man deeply in love with his wife.


    Hayden''s phone rang too.


    Seeing that it was his wife Ashley calling, he smiled at everyone and said, "It''s my wife."


    Everyone tittered.


    Just as Hayden was insinuating that Nathan was too doting on Janice, his own wife had called, and


    he picked up right away.


    Hayden answered Ashley''s call.


    Ashley said anxiously, "You need toe home. There''s been a big incident. Lucy''s been taken.


    The house is in chaos. Grace and Colton have sent people to look for her, but they''re also furious


    and nning to send the servants and bodyguards over to the police."


    Hayden was shocked and asked, "How could Lucy be taken? There are so many people at home,


    and Janice is usually the one taking care of her. Who would dare to take such a risk?"


    "You need toe home now. Oh dear, my stomach seems to be hurting. I think I might be going


    intobor."


    Ashley wasn''t sure if her baby was moving due to her anxiety or if she was actually going intobor.


    Her stomach hurt so much that she couldn''t talk to her husband anymore.


    Her due date was in a few days.


    Hayden was now really anxious.


    Lucy had been taken, but Nathan was on it. However, the baby in Ashley''s womb was his own flesh


    and blood, which was even more important than his niece Lucy.


    So Hayden also rushed home.


    Everyone rted to the Blue family or associated with them in Skywatch was helping to look for


    Lucinda.


    When Nathan got home and saw Janice still asleep, he realized she had been drugged. He


    instructed the family doctor to take care of her, and he began his investigation to find Lucy.


    He was efficient, quickly tracing the events back to Elisa, one of his persistent admirers and the


    most obsessed one.


    He had rejected her multiple times, but she was stubborn. She even went to the Blue family''s house


    to bother Janice, iming she did not want Janice''s position but just wanted to be Nathan''s woman.


    This made Janice very angry, and Nathan felt sorry for her.


    In his anger, Nathan suppressed the Av family. In Skywatch, the Blue family held power and


    influence. The Av family couldn''t withstand the Blues'' suppression and quickly went bankrupt,


    falling into debt.


    The Av family infiltrated the Blue family and took Lucy as revenge on Nathan!


    Nathan was furious, regretting he hadn''t been harsher on the Av family. He should have crushed


    thempletely. But he had been soft-hearted, wanting to earn some good karma for his child. This


    ended up hurting Lucy.


    Nathan led his men to chase after the Av family, who had already prepared their escape route.


    By the time Nathan found Elisa, she was already dead; she had already kicked the bucket in


    Whiterun, shamed to death. It was a gruesome scene. Her bag was still with her, everything inside


    intact, including her ID, bank cards, a bunch of cash, and some jewelry. All the stuff she had packed


    for her escape.


    Inside the bag was also a locked diary.


    Elisa was dead, but Lucinda was nowhere to be found.


    Lucinda was still so little, barely able to sit up straight. There''s no way she could have run off on her


    own. Nathan figured the scumbag who killed Elisa must have taken his daughter.


    Next, Nathan rallied his crew and enlisted the help of a few big-shot families in Whiterun to find


    Lucinda. They turned Whiterun upside down, but with no luck.


    With no signs of Lucinda in Whiterun, Nathan, thinking about his wife and kid back home, left others


    to continue the search while he bolted back to Skywatch.


    Janice''s tears were falling even harder now.


    That memory was a hurdle she just couldn''t get over. She had been a mental wreck for over two


    decades, all because she couldn''te to terms with losing Lucy.


    Was it her fault? She had been negligent!


    Who could''ve guessed that the cup of milk would have sleeping pills mixed in? While she was out,


    Lucy was swiped.


    She had no clue what happened after she fell asleep. All she knew was that when she woke up to


    find Lucy gone, she went batshit crazy, looking for her daughter everywhere.


    Janice''s heart ached as she cried.


    She was wracked with guilt, so much so that she considered ending her own life. She had tried to


    hurt herself and even attempted suicide several times. Only Shirley, holding Keith and begging on


    her knees for her to think about Keith, and Nathan''s careful watch kept her hanging on by a thread.


    But her world had crumbled. Her heart was an empty shell. Her world lost all its light from then on.


    She felt powerless and incapable of protecting her own child.


    Grace was always on Janice''s case too, ming her for sleeping like a log and not even noticing


    when her own child was stolen.
