Chapter 275


    "Go on." I gestured to ra.


    "I found Maddox," ra continued, "I convinced him to give me Evan." Her voice was firm, "At first, he


    was adamant that Evan wasn''t with him, but I threatened him. After all, the incident that Zora did at her


    previous employer''s house had given me the ammunition. So, reluctantly, he agreed to hide the kid


    elsewhere."


    "You sure?" I was eager for answers.


    "Yes. I even checked." ra nced at me, looking a bit guilty.


    "You keep saying I''m the one you trust the most, so why do this? If you trust me, why not hand Evan


    over to me?" I fired off questions in rapid session.


    Hearing my words, ra''s face turned ashen.


    I suppressed my anger and continued, "Then tell me, why did Evan disappear?"


    "I don''t know. I don''t know how he disappeared. I''m not sure." ra seemed worried.


    "What kind of answer is that? Didn''t you say Maddox had hidden Evan?" I was barely holding back my


    irritation, "Could Maddox have done this?"


    "No." ra shook her head immediately, but then added, "He wouldn''t dare."


    "If he wouldn''t dare, then why did the kid disappear?" I couldn''t contain my anger anymore, "When did


    he disappear?"


    "He disappeared the night beforest." ra''s voice was uncertain.


    My heart skipped a beat, "The night beforest? That''s the night of the party. You sure it was that


    night?"


    "Yes, because the next day, Maddox called me and said Evan was gone." ra exined, "The party


    endedte that night. I was so tired, and I didn''t think about it. When I got home, I went straight to bed."


    "Did Jane over that night?" I asked.


    She shook her head, "No, he didn''t. I went to bed as soon as I got back. I didn''t see him."


    I pondered. That night I was kidnapped, and everything was in chaos. To keep the news under wraps,


    Jan wasn''t informed until I was safe. So where was he that night? Clearly, he didn''t return to the


    vi, otherwise, he would''ve noticed my absence.


    "Are you sure Maddox is trustworthy? After Zora, has she ever asked Maddox about Evan?" I


    interrogated ra, but something didn''t add up.


    "After I threatened Maddox, he agreed to move Evan. So I haven''t been following this since. He said


    he''d inform Zora that Evan died." ra''s lips were trembling.


    Without another word, I grabbed my phone, intending to call the police.


    Seeing this, ra sprung up, quickly grabbing my hand, "Ms. Aaliyah, please..."


    "Let go! I thought you were different from Zora. I told you, Evan is innocent. Did you just agree with


    me? Do you see him as a pawn in your games?" I could barely control my rage.


    Hearing themotion, Hannah stormed in, and ra let go of my hand in shock.


    She then fell to her knees in front of me, pleading, "Ms. Aaliyah, please." Her face was a picture of


    misery.


    "If you call the police, I''ll be arrested." ra pleaded.


    "Arrested? Isn''t that what you deserve? What have you and Zora done?" I red at her, "I''ve asked you

    time and again to find Evan and bring him to safety. He''s so young."


    "I wanted to save him. I listened to your words, I know he''s innocent." ra defended herself, "That''s


    why I moved him."


    "Then why didn''t you give him to me?" I roared.


    ra trembled, not daring to meet my gaze, and remained kneeling there.


    I took a deep breath to calm myself, but seeing ra kneeling in front of me, I couldn''t resist a


    sarcastic retort, "So, this is your trust in me?"


    "I was nning to bring him out, and give him to you at the right time." ra was still making excuses,


    "But then he was suddenly gone."
