Chapter 724 Worry
Ignore the bodyguard's obstruction, Jake forced his way into Victor's office.
He was extremely anxious.
Jake asked, "Father, did you kidnap Sophia?"
Victor leisurely took a sip of tea, glancing at him indifferently. "What, are you here to play the hero and save her?"
Jake's heart sank; it was indeed Victor who did it.
His hands clenched into fists, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he suppressed his disgust, lowering his stance. "Please let her go."
Victor was surprised. Jake had always been decisive and ruthless; he had never spoken to him in such a pleading manner.
He found it quite intriguing.
"You promised to give me three days," Jake added.
Only two days had passed.
Victor chuckled, "I found a more interesting game, so I changed my mind. I don't want Gabriel's life for now."
Jake bit his lower lip, his head slightly lowered.
"What game?"
"Let Gabriel exchange Sophia's life with the entire Lancaster Group and his own life."
Jake's heart stirred slightly, but he quickly controlled his emotions.
Victor saw through his thoughts and laughed even more heartily, "This way, you get the Lancaster Group and eliminate Gabriel. Then you can be with Sophia."
That was what Jake thought too. Without Gabriel, would Sophia love him?
"By the way, I'll send you a big gift tomorrow."
Hearing this, Jake became nervous again.
"Where is she now?"
Victor sneered, "You'll know tomorrow."
For now, it seemed Sophia was still safe.
Jake reverted to his usual cold and ruthless demeanor and turned to leave.
Gabriel and Colin searched all night, not daring to rest for even a minute.
They had hired professionals, but still couldn't find Sophia.
Gabriel's wound throbbed faintly.
David immediately took a private jet over after receiving Colin's call.
"Colin, what's the situation now?" David asked as he got out of the car in a tired look.
Colin looked exhausted, "Still haven't found her."
David frowned deeply, his eyes full of worry. He turned to see Gabriel's slightly pale face.
He knew about Gabriel's surgery. It hadn't been long since Gabriel had the operation; his body couldn't collapse.
"You go rest first. Colin and I will continue searching."
Gabriel shook his head lightly, "I won't rest until we find her."
Colin was also worried about Gabriel's health.
At this moment, Alex brought some medicine for Gabriel to take.
"I can hold on, don't worry. Let's go see if the experts have found any clues."
Gabriel had a suspect in mind, Jake.
Now Jake was being watched by their people.
Another suspect was Owen and the Phoenix Group.
David also mobilized the Blackwood family's connections in the country and tried everything possible to find Sophia.
At the Blackwood Manor, after dinner, the three children were playing with robots at home. However, as they played, they all fell silent.
Emma tugged on Ethan's sleeve, worried, "Ethan, I feel uneasy."
Ethan also felt a sense of unease, and even Sam had a worried expression.
Emma said, "I want to call Mommy."
Ethan picked up his smartwatch to call Sophia, but no one answered after several attempts.
Then he called Gabriel, but the line was busy and couldn't get through.
The children exchanged uneasy glances.
Ethan decisively picked up the iPad and went online, finding news about a citywide search in the country.
Ethan instinctively guessed that something must have happened to Sophia.
He got up and rushed out of the room, intending to find David, but overheard Celeste and Jennifer talking at the door.
Celeste asked, "Where did David go with the plane?"
Jennifer shook her head, "He didn't say."
Ethan felt nervous, turned around, and ran back. Then he checked the flight path of the Blackwood family's private jet and found it was heading to the country.
"Mommy is really in trouble!"
Ethan's cute face was full of panic.
Emma immediately got up with red eyes and ran out to find Celeste and Ruth, while Sam came to Ethan's side, holding his arm.
"What happened to Mommy? Where's Daddy?"
"I don't know yet, but David has already gone to the country."
Sam said, "Let's go save Mommy."
Ethan bit his lip, tears uncontrollably falling.
"We can't go."
This crisis was different; the enemy was targeting the entire Lancaster family. If they went there, they would also be in danger.
At that time, they might not only fail to save Sophia but also distract David and Gabriel, making them protect them instead.
Celeste almost fainted upon hearing that Sophia was in trouble.
Jennifer supported her.
Jennifer comforted, "Mom, don't get too excited. It seems David urgently took the plane to the country, and Colin is also there, along with Gabriel. They will definitely find Sophie."
"Yes, don't worry. We'll wait for news at home," Ruth also felt terrible but still comforted Celeste.
Emma was about to cry, but seeing Celeste more upset than her, she held back her fear and comforted Celeste instead.
"Celeste, Mommy has my lucky charm; she will be fine."
"Mommy also said she would come back tomorrow and take us out to play."
Celeste hugged Emma, unable to say a word, only praying continuously in her heart.
The three children refused to sleep, and Celeste and Ruth couldn't sleep either.
Celeste called David to ask for specific details.
Ethan held the iPad, calmly searching for Sophia's whereabouts.
However, the opponent was very powerful, with excellent counter-surveillance abilities. Despite searching for so long, he found no clues.
Sam was sweating anxiously beside him.
"Mommy, please be safe!"
Sam thought in mind, 'Why did they and Sophia always encounter bad people? How great it would be if there were no bad people in the world.'
The night outside was deep, and the children were getting tired. There was still no good news from the country.
Everyone in the Blackwood family felt depressed.
The morning sun in the country was beautiful. Jake hadn't slept all night. After a quick breakfast, he went to find Victor.
As soon as he left, his movements were immediately reported to Gabriel.
"Jake went to Victor's villa and hasn't come out."
The whole morning passed, and neither Jake nor Victor left the villa.
Today was a workday; they should have gone to the company.
According to David's investigation, Victor would go for a walk at a nearby farm every morning at nine and then head to the company.
But today, despite the good weather, Victor didn't go out.
Gabriel and David both felt something was off.
Even if Jake and Victor had no plans to go out, were they having a family reunion in the villa?
