Chapter 332
Elizabeth was chill at first, but when Elijah dropped that bomb, she freaked out.
She wobbled a bit.
Elijah chimed in, "Hey, watch it. Don't go tipping over!"
Elizabeth wanted to say something.
Elijah noticed and asked, "You wanna find Alexander?"
Elizabeth shook her head fast.
Elijah was taken aback. "You don't wanna tell him you got snatched?"
Elizabeth nodded.
Elijah was even more shocked. "Why not?"
Elizabeth thought it was too complicated to explain.
Elijah kept going, "Isn't this the perfect chance? He risks his neck to save you, and bam, old flames reignite. Wouldn't that be awesome?"
Elizabeth was speechless, thinking, 'Sure, great idea. But rekindling old flames? Nah, not needed.'
"Why aren't you into rekindling old flames?" Elijah noticed her indifference.
Elizabeth closed her eyes, thinking, 'You know why.'
"Alright then." Elijah backed off.
Suddenly, Elijah propped his face and stared at the moon.
Elizabeth was speechless.
The moonlight was gorgeous tonight, but here she was, kidnapped.
What blew Elizabeth's mind even more was Elijah sitting next to her, moon-gazing.
It was surreal.
Over at the Tudor Group.
Alexander had just wrapped up a remote meeting. He flipped through some papers and handed them to Nolan, looking beat. "It's done. We gotta fly to Seaspring Valley City tomorrow."
Nolan nodded. "Got it, Mr. Tudor."
Alexander patted his pockets, searching for his phone but came up empty.
"Nolan, where's my phone?" Alexander asked.
Nolan replied, "Probably in the office. Didn't see you with it this afternoon."
Alexander paused for a couple of seconds, then nodded and headed to the office with Nolan.
On the way, he asked, "How's Esme?"
"Mr. Tudor, our guys have been watching Ms. Russell. She's been home and hasn't gone out in days."
Alexander frowned. Esme not only stayed put, but she also didn't call him, which was odd.
"Got it." Alexander replied lightly.
Pushing open the office door, he found his phone charging.
Alexander walked over, sat on the sofa, checked his phone, and stood up quickly.
There were about seven missed calls from unknown numbers.
And a bunch of texts.
[Mr. Tudor, Elizabeth's been kidnapped.]
[Mr. Tudor, if you see this, call me back.]
[Mr. Tudor, this is Laura, Elizabeth's colleague.]
"Mr. Tudor, what's up?" Nolan was pouring water for Alexander.
Alexander swallowed, frowned, dialed the number, and rushed out.
"Mr. Tudor?" Nolan followed, worried. "Did something happen to Ms. Russell?"
Alexander hit the elevator button, looking anxious. "Something happened to Elizabeth."
Nolan was shocked. "Ms. Percy?"
The call connected. Alexander stepped into the elevator. "Hello, this is Alexander."
Laura's voice was calmer, "Oh, Mr. Tudor. It's okay. I already called the cops, and Elizabeth's parents are at the station."
In Laura's tone, Alexander sensed helplessness.
Laura thought, 'When I needed Alexander the most, he was MIA. It's past ten, and he just shows up. If something really happened to Elizabeth, she might've been in pieces by now.'
"What happened?" Alexander asked in a low voice.
"Elizabeth had a car accident and got taken away at the door," Laura said briefly.
