Chapter 73 She Was The One Who Did It


    A few dayster, when Irene was working in thepany, she received a call from Thomas. "Irene,


    Eden is missing!"


    "When did he go missing?" Irene was shocked.


    "Just now! I took him to y in the park, and he said that he wanted to eat ice cream. So I went to buy


    it for him, but when I came back, he disappeared!" Thomas exined.


    "How could this be?" Irene''s heart went into an arrhythmia. She took the phone and rushed straight to


    Jordan''s office. Ignoring anyone else, she directly called his name, "Jordan, something came up, and I


    need to excuse myself first. I''ll do the rest of the work tomorrow."


    Seeing Irene''s ashen face, Jordan knew at once that something serious had happened. "Irene, what


    happened?"


    "My son went missing in the park! I need to find him!" Irene exined.


    "I''ll go with you!" Jordan immediately got up and followed Irene out of thepany. The two got in the


    car and went straight to the park where Eden went missing.


    Along the way, Irene''s face was colored with panic. She repeatedly muttered, "Dear Lord, please don''t


    let anything happen to him. If something bad happens to him, how can I continue to live this pathetic


    life of mine?"


    "Don''t worry. Nothing will happen to Eden!" Jordanforted her.


    Soon, they reached the park where Eden went missing. Irene got out of the car and rushed toward the


    park directly. Then, she met Thomas, who was sweating profusely.


    "Uncle Thomas, have you found Eden?" Irene asked.


    "No, I haven''t, Irene. So far, the people I have asked haven''t seen him before," Thomas answered, his


    lips quivering.


    "What should we do? Eden, why did you wander around? Do you know that I am worried about you?"


    Irene eximed helplessly, exasperated.


    Jordan was worried too. He picked up his phone and called a police officer he knew, "Ronald, my son


    went missing in Soutke Park. Please arrange a few people to help me locate him."


    As he hung up the call, Jordan apanied Irene to look for Eden in the park, but he couldn''t find any


    trace of Eden. Jordan had a hunch that Eden didn''t just lose his way.


    Irene was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears. Jordan didn''t dare to tell her his


    spection. He took Irene''s hand and went straight to the monitor room of the park''s management


    team.


    As soon as he entered the door, he ordered the staff member inside, "I lost a child. Help me set up the


    surveince cameras immediately!"


    The people in the monitoring room looked at Jordan and Irene who suddenly broke in. They wanted to


    refuse them, but under Jordan''s scorching gaze, they couldn''t bring them to reject Jordan''s order.


    Soon, they found the surveince camera where Eden went missing. Thomas was queuing for ice


    cream at the ice cream stall, and Eden was waiting aside.


    Out of nowhere, a man with sunsses and a mask came from the side. The man held an electric toy


    in his hand to tempt Eden. Eden then walked over curiously. After that, the man suddenly carried Eden


    and covered his mouth before they left in a hurry.


    It happened so fast that almost no one noticed it.


    After watching the footage, Irene''s tears immediately cascaded down her cheeks like a burst pipe.


    "What should I do? What should I do?"


    Jordan felt distressed watching Irene wail. It was the first time he felt that way throughout his life.


    "Don''t worry, we''ll find him! I''m here! Don''t worry!" he consoled Irene. In the meantime, he immediately


    called a police chief, Ronald Brown, "Have you arranged for your people toe over? My son was


    kidnapped in the park. It might be human trafficking. I hope you can arrange someone to start


    investigating the surveince on the streets RIGHT NOW."


    Ronald on the other end of the line quickly agreed. Jordan hung up the phone and made another call.


    "Bring someone here immediately. Eden is missing."


    The one on the other end of the phone was David.


    The park''s management officers didn''t take the case seriously at first. However, when they heard that


    Jordan called Ronald and had the ability to mobilize the police forces to help find the child, they


    became nervous and immediately arranged for the park staff to look for Eden.


    Jordan asked the officer to continue to adjust the angle of the surveince. The monitor showed that


    the man had entered a blind spot of the camera with Eden in his arms. After that, he never appeared


    again.


    Jordan frowned and ordered the officer to adjust the surveince camera at the entrance. He stared at


    the screen very carefully. After a while, he suddenly squealed, "Stop!"


    The officer paused the video immediately. Jordan pointed to a man who came out of a van on the


    monitor and asked, "Do you think this man looks like the man who kidnapped the child?"


    "No, he doesn''t," replied the officer. The person who kidnapped Eden was wearing a coat, a hat, and


    sunsses, while the man on the screen was wearing a T-shirt.


    "Look at his shoes!" Jordan pointed at the man''s shoes. The jacket, hat, and sunsses could be


    changed in an instant, but he couldn''t change his shoes.


    The officer carefully looked at the man''s shoes and nodded. "They have the same shoes!"


    "Erge his car''s license te!" Jordan ordered.


    The officer immediately erged the video. Jordan made a call on his phone. "Ronald, please order


    someone to pay attention to this license te number. I suspect that he was the one who kidnapped


    my child."


    He marched out of the room while talking on the phone. Then, Irene grabbed his hand and asked,


    "Jordan, where are you going?"


    "Wait for me here. I''ll go out and have a look!" Jordan replied.


    "I don''t want to wait here. I''m going to find Eden!" Irene''s legs were shaking. The fear in her heart was


    growing like a tumor. What if she couldn''t find Eden? What should she do?


    Oh goodness, Eden! What would she do if her lovely, obedient son disappeared?


    Seeing her reaction, Jordan sighed. "Alright. Let''s look for him together!"


    Jordan helped Irene, who was stumbling, out of the entrance. They went straight to the parking lot


    outside the park. He opened the door, helped Irene onto the car before they got onto the driver''s seat


    and started the car engine.


    As the car drove out of the park entrance, Jordan''s phone rang. It was a call from Ronald. "Mr. Reed,


    we have found the license te you are looking for. It appeared on West Stream Road, and I am


    sending someone to block the road as we speak."


    "Thank you, Ronald!" After hanging up the phone, Jordan immediately sped up and went straight to


    West Stream Road.


    He was driving a limited-edition luxurious car that had excellent performance. In an instant, it sped up


    and rushed out with a loud screeching noise.


    In less than half an hour, Jordan reached West Stream Road. As the suspect appeared in West Stream


    Road, the police nearby had alreadye and blocked the road.


    Suddenly, the whole West River Road was filled with rm sounds. Soon, Jordan''s phone rang, and it


    was Ronald again.


    He said that he found the van in a small alley at the junction of West Stream Road and Yellow Ocean


    Road. The driver had disappeared, and the police were searching nearby. The child was found in deep


    slumber in the car, and there was no apparent wound on his body.


    Hearing the news, Irene was relieved. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the alley.


    Before the car even stopped properly, Irene had already rushed down. "Eden! Eden!"


    She took Eden from the police and held him tightly in her arms. Her tears streamed down her cheeks.


    The fear that had been engulfing her had now condensed into tears of joy.


    Jordan stretched out his hand and held Irene and Eden in his arms. Heforted them gently,


    "Everything''s okay now! Everything''s okay now!"


    That shock almost sucked Irene''s soul dry. She kept holding onto Eden tightly and was reluctant to let


    go of him.


    Jordan looked at Irene, who was still trembling lightly and sighed. "I''ll take him to the hospital."

    Irene nodded. She carried Eden and followed Jordan into the car. Inside the car, Irene was still shaking


    like a leaf.


    Irene couldn''t imagine what she would do if she couldn''t find her Eden just then. She couldn''t possibly


    live without Eden!


    Jordan drove Eden to the hospital. The doctor examined Eden and said it was nothing big, but Jordan


    insisted on letting Eden stay in the hospital for further observation before letting him go home.


    Eden was asleep the whole time. After a long wait, he was still not awake. Seeing that, Jordan


    anxiously went to find a doctor again.


    Irene sat quietly at the side and looked at Eden; he was her child, her joy, her love, whom she carried


    in her womb for nine months. She could not help but lower her head and kiss Eden.


    At that time, two policemen came in. After introducing themselves to Irene, they sat down and said,


    "We have caught the suspect."


    "Why did he kidnap my child?" Irene asked.


    "He said it was not a kidnapping. Someone gave him a sum of money and asked him to hide the child


    and send him back in a few days," the police exined.


    "Who asked him to do this?" Irene shrieked in disbelief.


    "He doesn''t know either. The other party met him at night. At that time, he disguised himself very well.


    He wore a hat, a mask, and a pair of sunsses, so he couldn''t see what he looked like. They met at


    the outskirts of town, so there wasn''t any surveince camera either. So we want to ask you if you have


    offended or had fallen out with anyone?"


    Irene shook her head. She had never offended anyone in San Fetillo. If she must point out who she


    had fallen out with before, there were few people such as Lily, Deborah, and Margaret.


    However, would it be one of them? Irene didn''t dare to say their names without evidence, hence she


    just shook his head.


    The police noticed that they couldn''t get any more information from Irene, thus they left the ward after


    another few questions.


    Irene sent the police away. At the elevator, she met Edric, who came in a hurry. "Irene, I heard that


    something happened to Eden?"


    "Yes," Irene answered emotionlessly.


    "How''s his situation now?" Edric asked, panting.


    "He''s fine," Irenemented, this time even more expressionlessly.


    "Can I see him?"


    "There''s no need for that," Irene refused. "Mr. Myers, I think it''s better if you spend more time with your


    fiancee."


    The word ''fiancee'' changed Edric''s expression in an instant. It seemed that Irene didn''t notice the


    change on his face. She added, "As a man, you have to be more responsible. If you hook up with your


    ex-wife behind your fiancee''s back, it is going to look bad on you. Of course, Mr. Myers, you may not


    care about your reputation, but I do. In order to not damage my reputation, please don''te to me in


    the future!"


    Edric stood at the same ce and watched as she turned around indifferently. He couldn''t describe


    what he was feeling right then.


    At this moment, Margaret had already realized that her ns had failed. Her purpose was not to kidnap


    Eden but to frighten Irene. Therefore, when she heard that things didn''t work out, she did not take it to


    heart.


    In the afternoon, Marie came to see her. Margaret and Marie had nothing to hide from each other,


    hence they talked about the kidnapping matter.


    Marie sighed and said, "I''m afraid that this time I made a fool of myself."


    "Why would you say that?" Margaret was confused.


    "I''ll let you know that I just saw Edric at the hospital visiting Irene and the child. They stood outside and


    quarreled. Irene even pped Edric in the face." Marie knew that Margaret was a protective mother.


    She would feel more pain if someone else hit Edric than her.


    Sure enough, Margaret was furious when she heard that. "What? Why did this little b*tch hit Edric?"


    "I''m afraid that Irene has already guessed the truth of the matter. After all, you are the only one who


    has such a motive," Marie exined.


    "Then what should we do now?" After all, she was in the wrong; Margaret felt guilty too.


    "So what if she knows the truth? She doesn''t have any evidence anyway. What can she do to you?"


    Marie replied.


    "I know that. But, doesn''t it mean that Edric still has something to do with her? I''m worried about this."


    "I have a n..." Marie whispered. Margaret exhaled and said, "What''s it? Let''s try it then!"


    Since such a big incident had taken ce, Jordan gave Irene a few days off and asked her to spend


    some quality time with Eden at home.


    Irene was also worried that such an ident would traumatize Eden, hence she attended Eden at


    home for the past two days. At noon that day, Kinsey came to see them.


    She brought food and toys for Eden. On the other hand, Eden and Thomas were ying together in the


    living room. Kinsey then pulled Irene into the bedroom and closed the door before she muttered, "Irene,


    I met Lily and Freya in a cafe today. Do you know what the two b*tches are talking about? Margaret


    was the one who kidnapped Eden."


    "What?" Irene was positively shocked.


    "She wanted to force you out of San Fetillo. That old b*tch deliberately asked someone to kidnap Eden


    to threaten you. What a vicious woman!" Kinsey snarled.


    "How could she do this?" Irene was trembling with anger.


    "I heard that b*tch, Lily, say that Margaret was afraid that you would entangle yourself with Edric again,


    so she did this. Irene, you have to stay away from Edric in the future," Kinsey continued.


    "Do you think I don''t want to? When I came back, I didn''t think of having any contact with him. But


    recently, he would always appear in front of me." Irene sighed.


    "What is the disgusting jerk thinking?" Kinsey hissed.


    "God knows," Irene replied.


    "If hees to you again, you should make it clear to him and not leave him any hope of reconciling


    with you. Edric is so well-known, and I refuse to believe that he will still shamelessly show up after


    that," Kinsey reminded Irene.


    After sending Kinsey off, Irene''s thoughts were in a knot as she went to get some groceries at the


    market. When she came back, she saw Edric.
