Chapter 354
Or perhaps they thought the boy looked like Everett and wanted to kidnap him for a ransom.
“You’re just too hasty! Use your head for a second, and you’ll realize he must have been taken by someone who was looking for
him. Who else could pinpoint his exact location among all the hotels in Eldora City?”
Jeffrey pondered a bit. She seemed to have a point. Her theory seemed plausible.
“But what do we tell Everett when he comes back?”
Everett had specifically returned for the boy.
“What else can you say? If all else fails, tell Everett it was a prank. I can help keep the folks at the office quiet” Heather was
really going
out to help.
Jeffrey, however, after some thought, declined her “kindness.”
“I can’t say that. The boy did come. I have to let Everett investigate if he is indeed his son. If he is, then what could the other
party’s intentions be?” Jeffrey felt that even if he got scolded, it would be better than the other party scheming something to harm
Everett later. Since they had discovered this, they should let Everett investigate. There must be some trail to follow
“What other intention could there be? It’s all about money! The other party probably felt it wasn’t the right time and took the boy
back Everett has been so stressed out with work lately, why do you always have to stir up trouble?” Heather sighed helplessly as
her eyebrows furrowed in frustration. “I’m not even sure if you’re truly looking out for Everett anymore”
“At a time like this, can you stop with the cold remarks? Jeffrey was in a bad mood
Suddenly, he turned to look at Heather. “You... Is your heart condition not bothering you anymore?”
She was standing here, having a full blown discussion with him.
“Ah... I felt better after seeing the doctor Heather’s face froze for a moment before she feigned innocence. “Why? You think I
took the boy? He was with you, not me! I was in the car with you when he disappeared!”
Jeffrey rubbed his temples. I didn’t say it was you
“Whatever! Just think about how you’re going to explain this to Everett. I’m heading back to the office.”
With that, she walked out of the hotel.
Before Jeffrey could even sigh, Everett called.
I’m in Eldoria City. I’m heading back from the airport. Where are you and the boy?”
“I’m at the hotel.”
Sadly, the boy was nowhere to be found.
“Send me the location. I’ll head straight there.”
“Everett... It seems like the boy was taken by his family. I was only gone for a moment, and he disappeared.” Jeffrey shrunk his
neck and blurted out the truth.
A prolonged silence followed before Everett spoke
“You’re not joking?”
“I’m really not joking! Jeffrey was on the verge of tears. “I slept in the same room as the boy last night. I bathed him and fed him.
A lot of people at the office saw him, you can ask them. He looks just like you!”
Find him. I want to find this boy” Everett’s emotions were steady, and he didn’t reproach Jeffrey
Tim looking! I’m just worried they’re hiding him.”
Find him no matter what.”
Everett needed to confirm his relationship with the boy now
A boy resembled him so closely. It sounded like a joke.
Even now, Everett doubted if this was a prank.
Because if the boy was his, then he must be Dorothy’s child.
