“Let’s sit down. I believe you have a lot of things to tell me.” The woman tidied her dress and sat back down elegantly. Thaddeus nodded and smiled. “Yeah. I have a lot of things to tell you, but you have what I want the most. Sometimes words don't make it, only actions can. I’ll give you a satisfactory result tonight.” The woman smiled shyly, and the expression on her face was self-explanatory. Mona saw their interaction and heard their misleading conversation. She scoffed inwardly and thought to herself, ‘Are they doing something tonight?’ She did not expect Thaddeus to be such a playboy. He had Ginny at home, and when they came back from vacation, he met another one of his mistresses in front of her! She would never forgive Thaddeus now! Thaddeus and the woman wanted to leave after having lunch, but Millie wanted to call Bobby. “Bobby brought the girl out. He doesn’t want me anymore. I’m not happy. I want to call him.” The girl grumbled and called her brother. Howe
However, Thaddeus could not think of what he did wrong. Thus, he turned around and went back into the bedroom to find Mona.“Was the food delicious?” He deliberately picked up a topic to probe Mona.Mona applied makeup on her face and picked up the sultriest shade to outline a beautiful arc on her delicate lips.Thaddeus suddenly felt a sense of crisis. “Are you going out?”“No.”“Then, why are you putting on makeup?” Thaddeus looked at Mona in the mirror, who wore exquisite and perfect makeup. She did not put on makeup like this even when she was filming. Why would she dress up so beautifully unless it was to meet someone else?The man was anxious.“Why can’t I put on makeup without going out?” Mona looked at Thaddeus coldly. “I’m just playing in your hotel. Can’t I do that?”“Playing?” Thaddeus realized that the words Mona was using were strange. “What can you play in the hotel?”“There’s a private beach in the back. I’m going sunbathing,” Mona spoke casually, pursed her plu
“Hey there, Miss. Sunbathing?” Sophie picked up a bottle of cola on the table, opened it, rolled up her sleeves, and took two gulps. “How did it go with Stella?”“Don’t get me started.” Sophie hiccupped. “She was very angry, but Mr. Fontaine’s wallet speaks volumes. He gave her three times the compensation for the breach of contract. The money is enough for her to make three films. Now, she’s looking for another lead actress, and she didn’t mention anything about you breaking the contract. Money is really amazing.”Sophie sighed emotionally while looking at the men passing by who could not keep their eyes off Mona. She also stared at Mona’s body.“Aren’t you worried what your man will say if you come out like this?”“He won’t. He has his own things to deal with.”“No matter how busy he is, he still has to take care of you.” Sophie shook her robe off and covered Mona’s body. “Cover yourself up. Don’t let others see you like this.”Mona folded her arms behind her head and turned to
Mona went back to the room with Millie, but Thaddeus was not around. She called him, but no one picked up. She felt very puzzled. He was here just a short while ago. Where could he have gone?With no other choice, Mona called Bobby instead. However, he also could not be contacted.Mona’s already frazzled nerves became afraid and scared. Now that the family she was looking for was not by her side, it further aggravated her panic.“Sophie, did you find anything?”“Not yet. I’m going to the studio now to see if there’s any surveillance footage. If we really can’t track Linda’s whereabouts, then we can only call the police.”“Okay, that’s what we’ll do. I can’t contact Thaddeus or Bobby on my side either, but I hope it’s just a coincidence.”Sophie was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time. She also recognized the feeling that danger was lurking around and approaching them.“Sophie, you continue to ask about Linda. I have to find Bobby first. I’ve never not been able
Before he could finish, Mona interrupted Thaddeus, “Okay, you don’t have to say anymore. I have something important to tell you.”Mona pulled Thaddeus to the side and said seriously, “I can’t find Bobby.”“Bobby went out with Mrs. Greene’s daughter. Don’t worry, they’re safe. Nothing will happen.”“What makes you say they’re safe?” Mona was anxious and pushed Thaddeus’ hand away. “I can’t get through his phone. This has never happened before.”Thaddeus frowned slightly, and Mona was very agitated.“Are you even taking this seriously? I can’t contact Linda either, and now I can’t find Bobby. Don’t you think it’s too much to be a coincidence? I hope that you can take this seriously, Thaddeus. This is New Astrid, not Neuffield. This isn’t your territory.”Mona almost burst into tears as she spoke. She did not dare to imagine what if something happened to Bobby and Linda. She could not bear to let anything happen.“We’ll go find Bobby now. Don’t worry. If I say they’re safe, then no
Mona took the tablet and looked at it. She exited the screen and tapped on Millie’s name. The positioning showed that she was in the hotel and even what room number she was in.It was Mona’s first time seeing such an advanced tracking system.“I’ve never heard of this software before.” Mona felt like it was something new. She did not know there was something like this when she was at home.“Of course, you haven’t.” Thaddeus curled his lips. The smile hanging at the corners of his lips carried the power to soothe people’s hearts. “This tracking system was researched and developed by me, especially for the two children. It uses the most advanced satellite system in the world. Even if they’re in no man’s land where there’s no signal, it’ll be able to locate them accurately. I planted the tracking chip in their bodies. The various health data will compile a monitoring report and sound an alarm if they suffer any physical injury. That’s why I told you not to worry. He will definitely be
The two of them sat on the shore, their expressions dismayed. Nelly had most likely cried. Her eyes were red as she hugged her knees on the shore. Bobby comforted her from the side. When Thaddeus saw this, he immediately knew what was going on.Bobby was very good at swimming. Most likely, Nelly jumped into the water because of something that made her sad, and Bobby dove in to save her.“Bobby!” Mona followed and finally sighed in relief when she saw her son safe and sound.Bobby turned around and saw that Thaddeus and Mona had come. He immediately got up and ran to them.“Mommy, Daddy.”The moment Mona heard Bobby call her, the tears in her eyes gushed out uncontrollably. Only God knew how anxious she was during the drive here. She almost wanted to die.“Come here.” Mona waved to Bobby. “Come quickly and let me see if you’re hurt.”Bobby walked to Mona and raised his head to look at her. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I can take care of myself.”Mona pulled her son’s shoulders and turne
Thaddeus snorted, rolled up his sleeves, and looked up at his son. “Wipe your face. Don’t let your mother see you and worry again.”Bobby wiped his face, put away the emotion in his expression, and opened the car door as if nothing happened.Mona hugged her son to see if there were any signs of him being beaten. “Son, did he hit you?”Thaddeus, who was sitting in the car, grunted. He worked so hard, but in the end, he got labeled as a villain.“No.” Bobby touched his burning butt. Thaddeus did not hold back at all. He guessed that his butt was swollen, but the child still had to maintain his dignity in front of girls. “You think too much, Mommy. I was just talking with Daddy in the car. It’s just a conversation between men.”Mona was skeptical, but when she saw that her son did not cry or make a fuss, she did not pursue the matter.“Mrs. Greene, I’ve found your daughter and my son. They’re at Felis Lane. Should I send your daughter back to the hotel, or do you want to come over?”
