Chapter 869 Ishara Escaped
That was Lawrence's and Winnie's child. He loved that bitch Winnie so much, he must love the child too.
Rock pondered the coldness in Lawrence's tone, then suddenly gripped his wine glass and laughed. The more anxious Lawrence got, the more pleased Rock felt, proving he was right!
Lawrence indeed wanted the child in Ishara's belly to live and be born!
He still had room to fight back.
Moreover, once Ishara reached AquaVista Continent and found a way to get close to that woman, it would mean he had an even bigger backer.
He wouldn't be utterly defeated!
Rock ordered his bodyguards to guard the villa gate tightly, opened the window, and laughed at Lawrence's incredibly handsome but cold face at the door, "Hurts, doesn't it? You found out that's your child, but she's in Ishara's belly, and Ishara is in my hands!"
"You can suffer slowly. Lawrence, you made me like this, so I'll make sure your family is never complete! Where did Ishara go? You'll never find out. By the time you get a clue, that child will be long dead!"
The string in Lawrence's mind snapped.
His icy eyes spewed endless anger. He suddenly kicked the carved gate, leaped over with his tall body, and stepped on the bodyguards guarding the door.
Seeing his terrifying stance, Rock feared he was coming in to capture him alive.
Lawrence's ruthlessness was something he had experienced before.
A flash of panic crossed Rock's eyes, but he steadied himself and warned, "Don't think about doing anything to me, Lawrence! If you dare come near me now, I'll make that six-month-old fetus die tonight!"
Lawrence abruptly stopped.
Lawrence stood on the gate's spikes, like a devil in the dark, overlooking Rock.
They both knew the fetus's fate was in Rock's hands.
They couldn't afford to gamble.
No impulsiveness, at least not tonight.
Lawrence dejectedly jumped back, his eyes freezing over.
He gave Rock a sinister smile, "You think you have me in your grasp, but I'll make you go bankrupt step by step, a fate worse than death. Let's see how long you can hold out."
He couldn't afford to gamble.
Rock couldn't either. Similarly, Rock had to use the child's life to threaten him!
But how long could his child survive in Ishara's belly? He wasn't sure.
There were too many uncontrollable factors.
He could only try his best to find Ishara!
Lawrence hugged Oscar, turned, and left Rock's villa with large strides.
Oscar trembled in Lawrence's arms, "Daddy, do you think Ishara really left the country?"
Lawrence's voice was indifferent, "Wait for Jeremy's final news."
"I think I made a mistake." Oscar regretted deeply. If he had told Lawrence a day earlier, even a few hours earlier, they might have caught Ishara.
He hadn't expected the tracking information to be fake.
He had been outsmarted by Rock.
"It's not your fault, maybe it's fate. I'll bring your sister back to you, but it might take many twists and turns." Lawrence gently patted his little head, sighed deeply, and communicated with him, "Keep everything that happened tonight a secret from your mommy and Sidney. I promise you, I'll find a way to find Ishara and get your sister back, okay?"
"Okay." After all, Oscar was just a child. He hugged Lawrence's arm and cried, feeling very sad.
Until dawn, Jeremy still hadn't brought good news.
With a gloomy face, he came to Lawrence and whispered, "Maybe before I searched those illegal ships, Ishara was already transported out of the sea, Lawrence. I'm sorry, I've searched everywhere I could."
Lawrence had anticipated the worst outcome.
Ishara had already left the country.
Ishara was like a bird released, hard to track, and Oscar was right, Rock's operation was too cautious, almost perfect!
He went to great lengths to get Ishara away, just for the child in her belly?
Could there be another purpose?
Lawrence pressed his temples, his heavy body sinking into the office sofa, sleepless all night.
The next day, the Rodriguez Group's new product officially launched, holding a sales conference. Major aerospace companies from Veridiania would attend, competing for aerospace technology authorization.
In the morning, after taking a shower in the lounge, Lawrence, though exhausted, still looked extraordinarily handsome, with a hint of killing intent in his slightly furrowed brows. He withdrew his gaze from the window, a fleeting moment.
He picked up his tie and gently woke Oscar, who was sleeping by the bedside, "Oscar?"
When Lawrence's deep voice came, Oscar opened his eyes, still showing traces of tears.
Lawrence frowned, went to the bathroom, and brought a warm towel to cover his little face.
"When you get home, don't let your mommy see you like this," he instructed Oscar.
Oscar nodded, looking at him, "Yeah, our secret."
"I have my ways to make Rock talk! Just wait."
Oscar looked up at him, feeling the powerful sense of the word "daddy" for the first time.
Maybe because he was born without a father's care, he always forgot he was just a child. Oscar was used to solving things himself, used to protecting Winnie himself. He was too young, and the result was a complete failure.
"Stop looking so worried, okay? Oscar." Lawrence cupped his cute little face, speaking seriously.
"Got it." Oscar smiled in relief.
At this moment, outside the office, Bob and Betty were knocking, reminding Lawrence it was time to host the sales conference.
Everyone was very excited.
The Rodriguez Group had ushered in a new era, rising in just two months!
Lawrence dressed Oscar, carried him out, and handed him to Bryan with a cold expression, "Take him back to the Rodriguez Family, don't let Winnie worry."
"Yes, Mr. Rodriguez." Bryan accepted the order.
The Rodriguez Family's house.
As soon as Oscar returned, he saw Winnie sitting on the living room sofa with a bag, looking like she was about to leave.
Seeing him, Winnie immediately stood up and walked over, "Are you and Lawrence done?"
Oscar looked at Winnie's clear eyes, feeling a bit evasive.
He knew Winnie too well; she didn't believe what they said last night, did she?
"Mommy."
"Come here," Winnie gently walked outside, smiling, "I have something to ask you, Oscar."
Oscar sighed inwardly and smiled nonchalantly, "What is it?"
Winnie said, "What exactly were you and Lawrence doing last night? I didn't follow you, but I know nothing happened at the Rodriguez Group. I asked your grandpa, and today the new product is launching smoothly."
Oscar forced himself to stay calm, hiding his sadness, and suddenly smiled mischievously, "Mommy, do you really want to know?"
"Of course! Tell me, what are you and Lawrence hiding from me?"
