Yvonne noticed how worried Julian looked. She found it odd. "What's wrong with Noah coming to the office?""Mr. Noah left home after seeing Mr. Anderson Senior a few days ago. He has been avoiding us this whole time. Something must be up with him appearing in the office out of nowhere today!"Stephen ordered, "Find Noah and bring him to my office.""Yes, sir!" Julian responded and wasted no time as he left the office.A bad feeling rose in Yvonne's heart. She sprang up. "I'll go look for Elvin.""I'll come with you." Stephen went up to her and held her hand. He gently comforted her, "Don't worry. This is Anderson Group. Nothing will happen to Elvin."Yvonne hummed in response, but she was panicking more by the second.They looked for Elvin, floor by floor. They caught hold of every employee to ask if they had seen two children.When they arrived on the eighth floor, they heard a little girl crying. Yvonne's heart froze. She frantically ran toward the sound and pushed away t
The employee did as he was told, zooming in on the screen that Yvonne had pointed at. Elvin's figure appeared on the screen."He seemed to have entered the archive storage on the eighth floor," the employee said while fast-forwarding the footage. After Elvin entered the storage room, no one had entered the room for a long time.Yvonne was so worried that her palms were already sweating.Right at this moment, a man in a cap entered the screen. He gently pushed the door open and entered the archive storage. Ten minutes later, he came out pushing a box on a trolley. The box was big enough to put a child in it!He didn't take the elevator. Instead, he went by the fire exit, vanishing from the surveillance footage."It's Noah," Stephen said coldly. He could recognize Noah anywhere.Noah was equally familiar with the surveillance in the building, which was why he could avoid it so easily."Contact the police and gather the surveillance footage around the building. We have to know
"I'm going to exact revenge on Stephen by using you." Noah looked to the horizon. The sea breeze brushed against his face. He had a hostile look in his eyes. "He's got too much. It's not too much for me to take a little from him, right?"Noah sneered and looked at Elvin. "Anyway, he didn't want you in the first place. You're just lucky that you managed to live until now."Elvin said nothing. He merely frowned at Noah. Although he was young, he could sense Noah's murderous intentions. He knew that being afraid was useless. In such a vast sea, he could only rely on himself to come up with something. But … he was just a kid.With his thoughts back to square one, Elvin has felt a sense of helplessness that he had never felt before. He missed Yvonne even more at that moment. In his heart, he wondered, "Mommy, what should I do?"Seeing Elvin's silence, Noah smiled even more arrogantly. He pinched Elvin's face. "What is it? Are you afraid now? Don't be afraid. I'll make sure tha
Nearby, a few rescue boats rushed over. The people on the boat witnessed the scene unfold.Yvonne shrieked, "Elvin!"Stephen reacted quickly. He shoved Yvonne toward Julian and jumped into the sea.Yvonne wanted to rush over, but Julian held her back. "Ms. Miller, don't go! It's dangerous!""My child is in the sea! I'll have to go and rescue him!"Yvonne tried her best to shrug Julian off. She had just taken a step when the other subordinates held her back. Julian grabbed her by the wrist. He said with a shaking voice, "Ms. Miller, Mr. Anderson has gone to rescue him. Don't worry. He will surely bring Mr. Elvin back."Although he was assuring Yvonne, he was really unsure about it. It was extremely dangerous at the sea at night, making it even more difficult to rescue someone at the bottom of the sea. He truly hoped that Stephen wasn't going to get himself killed.Yvonne's fear was much stronger than Julian's. She looked at the vast sea and slumped to the ground listlessly. T
In the end, Elvin, who was still out cold, was sent to the hospital to be resuscitated. Noah, on the other hand, was sent to the police to be detained.That night, the news of Noah kidnapping and planning to murder a child quickly made the headlines on the news and the internet."Has Noah gone mad? How could he do that to a child?""There are two types of men that I disrespect in this world. Those who bully women and those who harm children! Noah is no man!""Noah is truly heartless. That is his nephew! How could he do that to him?"Due to the negative impact of the incident, it naturally implicated the shares of Anderson Group. Many professionals predicted that their shares were most likely going to drop by nearly 20% when the market opened the following Monday.When Jane saw the news, she was so furious that she rolled her eyes. Noah was such an idiot! She had only been provoking him so that he would disrupt Stephen's date. Who would have thought that he planned to murder?
At the police station, Philip wheeled himself to look for a police officer. He wanted to see Noah.Once the police officer verified their identities, he took them to the interrogation room, where Noah was sitting on a chair.Before the officer could react, Philip wheeled himself over to Noah. Out of nowhere, Philip got a cane and fiercely hit Noah with it."You bastard! You're a monster!" Philip whipped Noah through gritted teeth. The police tried to stop him but got hit in the process too."Move aside! I'm going to whip this bastard to death today!""Mr. Anderson Senior, please calm down. We're at the police station. This isn't a place for you to execute your own punishment." The police officer persuaded Philip and took the can away. "We can understand how you feel, but please calm down.""Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? This bastard almost killed my great-grandson!" Philip pointed his trembling fingers at Noah. "H-How could you do this? How could we have such a
In the early hours, Stephen received a message from Julian. He took a glance at Yvonne, who was lying on the bedside to rest, and walked out of the room quietly.Julian was waiting in the corridor. At the sight of Stephen exiting the room, he hurried forward. "Mr. Anderson, how is Mr. Elvin?""He has a fever."Stephen looked a little exhausted. He frowned and asked, "Did Grandpa go to the police station last night?""Yes, apparently he went with a cane and gave Mr. Noah a good beating. "Mr. Anderson Senior was furious, and he was screaming and shouting at the police station, demanding that Mr. Noah pay the price."Julian sighed. "After seeing all this, Mr. Anderson Senior must be completely disappointed with Mr. Noah."Stephen was silent.Julian didn't dare add to the subject. Instead, he reported another something else. "Our people abroad couldn't find anything regarding Katie, so I retrieved her immigration records that day. "Katie left on a private jet. There are too many
Since Rachel was keeping Yvonne company, Stephen left with the excuse of getting breakfast. He wanted to give them some time alone to talk.After Stephen left, Rachel let out a sigh of relief. "I've known Stephen for quite some time now, but I'm still a little afraid of him every time I see him."Rachel put her hand on Yvonne's shoulder and said emotionally, "It's fortunate that you have him by your side after what happened yesterday. "Just seeing the news online was enough to make me feel terrified. I can only imagine what you felt yesterday. Vonnie, you must have had a rough time."Yvonne didn't respond. She was still looking at Elvin's face.Images from last night kept popping into her head. It was as if the pitch-black sea was still right before her eyes.She had always thought that she was strong enough. But the experience last night had shown her that she was just an ordinary person who could be overwhelmed by fear. She didn't dare look back at it, nor did she dare ima
