Carter roared out furiously and hung up.Shirley did not know why he was so angry, nor did she know who the person on the other end of the phone was. She only knew that Carter did not bring her to F Country to avoid being pursued. He must have other reasons.Carter ended the call and threw the phone onto the sofa.He furrowed his eyebrows; his face looked extremely distressed.A while later, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After spacing out for a few seconds, he recomposed himself and walked toward the balcony.Shirley looked away and did not look at Carter again.Carter understood Shirley's current attitude towards him. He had gradually adapted to it. He did not feel very disappointed or sad because he could feel that in Shirley's heart, he was still very much present.“I'm going out now to buy some daily necessities. You just stay here, don't go anywhere,” Carter informed and urged at the same time.Shirley laughed sarcastically. “I’m a disabled person whose lower
His gaze darkened, and he turned back to the rented car.Approximately twenty minutes later, Carter saw Fabian carrying Lillian back into the car.His car was parked behind Fabian's car so that he could easily observe Fabian and Lillian's movements.After a while, Fabian started the car and Carter followed behind.He saw Fabian leading Lillian into a toy store that sold Barbie dolls. They then went to sit at a dessert shop for a while before they finally went back to the villa.After a few days of observation, Carter realized that this was the sequence in which Fabian took Lillian out of the house every day.As for Carter, he had completely figured the sequence out.What Shirley could not figure out was what Carter was doing when he went out at such a time every day.Intentional or otherwise, she had probed and asked him before. However, Carter, who evidently did not want to tell her, would muddle over the topic or change the subject each time she asked.The more Carter behave
Dumbfounded, Shirley stared at what Carter was doing in disbelief.‘Had he been following that car just to abduct that little girl?‘But who was that little girl?’During her moment of shock, Shirley saw Carter quickly starting the car to drive away.At that moment, Fabian quickly ran out of the dessert shop.He looked anxious, and his eyes were filled with worry.Shirley did not know Fabian, but she could see how uneasy and sick with worry he was at the moment.“Driver, please start driving,” Shirley told the driver who was looking at his phone.The driver looked out of the window and noticed the car just now was gone.“Miss, where would you like to go now? Are we going to follow the car just now?” the driver asked politely.Shirley shook his head. “No need. I saw the person in the car and he’s not my friend. I made a mistake. Please take me back to where you picked me up.”“Alright,” the driver answered and started the car quickly.Shirley was very distracted on the way b
‘Or is she afraid to talk when she sees strangers?’She thought in her heart. Looking at Lillian's face again, she seemed to see the shadows of Madeline and Jeremy from her facial features and eyes.Shirley was taken aback. Was this Jeremy and Madeline’s child?As Shirley wondered about this, Carter slammed the door shut.He obviously would not let Lillian go.“Is this Jeremy and Eveline’s daughter?” Shirley voiced the doubt in her heart.Carter paused when he heard the words. He said nothing, answering Shirley's question with silence.Shirley also instantly understood Carter's silence.She looked at Lillian and then she chuckled.“So, this was why you insisted on coming to F Country.”Upon hearing Shirley's words, Carter denied without hesitation.“No.”“No?” Shirley chuckled again. “Carter, you still want to have your revenge and take action against Jeremy, don't you? You always think that Jeremy and Eveline are the reason you’re like this today, don’t you?”The moment s
Shirley paused. She did not know what the card Lillian handed her was.She slowly reached out to take the card from Lillian’s small hand.Shirley brought it before her and looked, then realized that it was a card with Lillian’s personal information.Lilian’s details, as well as her health condition, were written on it along with her current address. With this, Shirley was certain that Lillian was mute and could not speak. As such, if Lillian were lost, she would hope that a kind person would be able to send her home.However, this was useless in this current situation.Why would Carter send Lillian back?Carter, who also noticed the card Lillian handed to Shirley, walked over and took the card from Shirley’s hand.After taking a look, the corners of his lips lifted into a cold and disdainful smirk.He simply tossed the card into the bin and turned around coldly.Lillian furrowed her adorable eyebrows and turned to walk to the bin. After she picked up the card, she carefully
One had to remember that Lillian was not a normal healthy child.Her leukemia was still in the recovery stage, so if the recovery did not go well, relapse would be very likely.He had no idea who was the man in black who took Lillian from under his nose.However, he knew that this man was an ordinary kidnapper because he came only for Lillian.While Fabian was at a loss, a servant suddenly rushed in.He thought that there was news from Lillian, but he was surprised to see Madeline walk in from the hallway.“Eveline?” Fabian was surprised.Did Madeline know that Lillian was kidnapped?No.That was impossible.Lillian only went missing a few hours ago, and at that time Madeline should have been on the plane, so it would have been impossible for her to have arrived so soon.“It's me.” Madeline stepped forward and walked up to Fabian. “I’m sorry for coming here uninvited and disturb you, Mr. Johnson. I came to see my daughter.”Madeline explained her intentions directly.She s
Madeline vaguely heard Lillian’s name, so she quickly turned and walked downstairs.Fabian seemed to hear Madeline's footsteps coming downstairs and he deliberately walked towards the door, avoiding Madeline.Noticing Fabian’s move, Madeline hurried to catch up, but when she walked up to Fabian, he had just hung up the phone.“Fabian, who were you on the call with? Is it related to Lily? Where have you taken Lily?”Madeline's face was full of worry as she questioned, “Fabian, tell me!”Fabian chuckled nonchalantly in the face of Madeline's anxious questioning.“Eveline, don't waste time and energy. I won't tell you where Lillian is.”Fabian's answer was extraordinarily cold and inhumane.Madeline knew that he was acting like this because of prejudice against herself and Jeremy.Madeline simultaneously felt helpless and very regretful.“Fabian, when we first met, you were a positive, unruly, and energetic boy who strived to improve yourself. I’d thought we would always be good
“Where is the car now? Alright, I’ll head over right now.”Fabian said this in reply and hurriedly drove out. A while later, he arrived at the car rental. The staff took Fabian to one of the cars. “Mr. Johnson, is this the car you’re looking for?”Fabian had looked at the surveillance footage multiple times, so he was certain that this was the car that the man who abducted Lillian drove. “That’s right. Do you have the contact of the person who rented this car?” Fabian asked urgently. The staff nodded and then handed Fabian the information of the person who rented the car. However, Fabian tried calling the number and found that this number did not exist. That meant this person had already planned for this. “When did the person return the car? What does he look like?”“Half an hour ago. He’s a tall and thin man completely dressed in black. He had a mask and a scarf on, so I couldn’t see how he looked.”“Get me the security footage,” Fabian ordered the staff, and the sta
