Chapter 942 We Can't Help You
The car was speeding down the road, with Sunny and Bernard sitting together in the back seat.
Sunny was only wearing a bathrobe, and the phone in his bathrobe pocket rang. He quickly pressed the reject button; in this situation, he didn't dare to speak on the phone in the car.
The call was from Ambrosia, asking about the situation. After rejecting the call, Sunny opened his WhatsApp, preparing to type a message to explain the situation to Ambrosia.
Before he could finish typing, Ambrosia's message came through.
[What's going on? Did Katherine really go to your house?]
Sunny deleted the words he had typed and replied with a simple "Yes," followed by, [It's nothing serious, you should go to sleep!]
It was so late, and he didn't want Ambrosia to worry. He wanted her to have a good night's sleep.
But Ambrosia knew Sunny too well. If it was really nothing, why wouldn't Sunny answer her call!
[Tell me, what's going on? Katherine wouldn't go to your house so late if it wasn't something important!]
Ambrosia knew that Katherine didn't like the Mitchell family. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, Katherine wouldn't want to set foot in the Mitchell family's house!
Sunny pursed his lips, realizing he couldn't hide it any longer.
[Charles is missing, and Katherine suspects that Scarlett took him! Now, they want me to take them to find Scarlett!]
On the other end of the phone, Ambrosia frowned and typed: [Do you know where Scarlett is?]
Sunny replied honestly: [I found her once before, but I don't know where she is now! Katherine wants me to take them to the fast-food restaurant where Scarlett used to work to look for her!]
Ambrosia: [Then hurry up and take Katherine to find her! Don't dawdle!]
Sunny really felt like he was always the one getting scolded: [I'm going! You should go to sleep early!]
Ambrosia: [Sleep? Keep me updated on any developments!]
Sunny: [Okay.]
At this moment, Alex hit the brakes and stopped in front of the fast-food restaurant Sunny had mentioned.
Katherine turned around and asked, "Is this the place?"
Sunny looked outside and nodded confidently, "Yes, this is the place, but they're really closed!"
Indeed, the fast-food restaurant was closed, the door was locked, and the sign was off!
Katherine said, "As long as this is the place!"
With that, she opened the car door and got out!
The three men followed her out of the car, not knowing what she was going to do.
Usually, such stores had alarm systems installed.
Katherine walked to the front of the fast-food restaurant and kicked the shutter door with great force, breaking it!
The alarm went off, piercingly loud, attracting the attention of passersby.
People were extremely curious, seeing three men and a woman in a luxury car dismantling the shutter door of a fast-food restaurant?
What was going on?
Due to the strong presence of the three men around Katherine, many onlookers didn't dare to come closer.
The alarm quickly brought the store owner to the scene!
The owner was a middle-aged man, accompanied by his wife!
"Who are you people? Why are you smashing my store's door? What do you want?"
The middle-aged man walked over aggressively, but he seemed diminished in the presence of the three men around Katherine.
The middle-aged man's wife, Cinda Baker, was a bit scared. She didn't come too close, just stood a bit further away with her hands on her hips, warning them, "Don't you dare mess with us! We've already called the police. How can you be so brazen? Do you have no respect for the law?"
Katherine walked up to the middle-aged owner and bowed first, "I'm very sorry for breaking your store's door! But it was an emergency, and I had no choice. I need to ask you something urgently, but your store was closed, so we had to get your attention as quickly as possible! Rest assured, we will compensate you ten times for the door!"
Seeing this, Cinda took a few steps forward to stand beside the middle-aged owner, looking at Katherine with frown, "What do you want to ask us? We don't seem to know you! You don't look like a good person either, don't try to trick us! No decent person would find someone this way! Our store sign has our contact number on it, and you still broke our door!"
Katherine bowed to Cinda again, "I know this is wrong, I'm really sorry! But I'm in a hurry, my son has been kidnapped, and I need information about the kidnapper from you and your husband. Can you help me? My son is only five years old!"
Women tended to quickly empathize when it came to children. Seeing Katherine crying with red, swollen eyes, Cinda's guard lowered a bit, "Well, what does your son's kidnapping have to do with us? We're legitimate business owners, running a legitimate business. We don't know any kidnappers!"
Katherine said, "I know! I'm not suspecting you know the kidnappers, but a woman who looks about my age who used to work here is involved with the person who kidnapped my son. Can you tell me how to contact her?"
The middle-aged owner and Cinda exchanged a glance, then looked at Katherine.
Cinda spoke again, "Ma'am, it's not that we don't want to help you, but our store often hires temporary workers, many of whom don't leave contact information! They're usually students on break or people in urgent need of money. Which girl are you talking about? Most of the temporary workers we hire are girls!"
Katherine said, "She's about my height and build, and her name is Scarlett, but she might be using a fake name! Look at me, she might look a bit like me!"
Cinda walked up and looked closely at Katherine's face, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh right! There was a woman named Scarlett who worked here for a few days recently, but I fired her! She didn't work here long and didn't leave any contact information. Ma'am, we really can't help you this time!"
The light in Katherine's eyes dimmed, but she didn't want to give up, "Can you think again, did she leave any other clues? Please, I'm really worried about my son!"
Seeing Katherine so concerned about her kid, Cinda felt a bit sorry for her, "What's Scarlett's relationship with you? Why would she kidnap Charles? Ma'am, I really want to help you, but I don't know her contact information or address! The reason I fired her was actually because I found out she was trying to seduce my husband."
