Chapter 278 Martin's Counterattack
After parting with Patricia, Hunter ordered his subordinates to investigate Martin's whereabouts during the days of Fannie's incident. Better safe than sorry; he had to get to the bottom of it to be at ease.
Better safe than sorry.
He had to get to the bottom of it to be at ease.
While he was having Martin investigatedMeanwhile, Martin received the news immediately.
"Boss, the people monitoring Hunter just reported that Hunter has secretly instructed someone to investigate you!. He must have discovered something. If he continues to investigateinvestigating, he will eventually find outdiscover that Miss Fannie is not dead."
Martin's lips curled into a mirthless smile,. "He's quite the character. Just one meeting, and he's already spotted a flaw."
Alan asked, "So what do we do next? ?" Alan asked. "We can erase the traces here in Ivara City, but Phuket Island is beyond the reach of the Langley Group. Erasing traces there will take some time."
Martin was unconcerned,. "No need!. Instead of waiting for the axe to fall, it's better to strike first. Move the plan forward—"."
Alan instantly understood, nodded, and left to carry out his orders.
At four in the afternoon, Patricia suddenly received a call from the kindergarten. that Charles was missing. She rushed to the school.
Charles was missing.
She rushed to the hospital.
"How could he be missing? Where did he go?"
"Mrs. Langley, I'm so sorry," The teacher was so anxious her eyes were red, tears streaming down, . ""Mrs. Charles, I'm so sorry! This afternoon, we had an outdoor activity school. They were playing well on the playground, and then I went to the restroom. When I came back, Charles was gone."
Patricia asked in a panic,. "What about the surveillance, check the surveillance!"."
The teacher cried,. "We did, but the footage at that time was corrupted,. wWe couldn't see anything."
Patricia was in complete despair.
Staggeringovercome with hopelessness. She stumbled backward, she feltfeeling as ifthough the world had suddenly lost all its color, plunging into and was now enveloped in darkness.
Fannie was gone.
And had disappeared, and now Charles was missing.
Haha—
, too. Suddenly.
She, Patricia laughed.
Then she cried.
And then she laughed again.
Crying and laughing.
Ascried once more as if she had gone mad.
The teacher was scared by her behavior, and worried she would fall, andso she quickly supported her,. "Mrs. Charles, I'm sorry,. iIt's my fault,. I didn't take good care of the child,. pPlease forgive me!. Our school will do everything we canpossible to help you find the child."
Patricia's hands trembled as she dialed Jade's number.
She had cried too much lately, no longer able to produce tears, just sobbing continuously. "Jade, Charles... Charles is missing."
"Jade, Charles... Charles is missing..."
Jade shouted, "What??! What happened?" Jade shouted.
Patricia stuttered, explaining the situation to Jade in a disjointed manner.
"Stay at the kindergarten, ," Jade said. "I'm on my way!. Damn it, they lost a child in their care,. tThey have to bring him back no matter what."
After ending the call, Patricia dialed Frank's number.
For some reason.
At this moment, the only people, she felt that she could think of wereonly trust these two.
As if they were the only ones she could trust.
Frank had just returned home when he received Patricia's call. He sprang up from the couch,. "What did you say,? Charles is missing?"
"Yes!. He suddenly... just disappeared... The school has no clues,. eEven the surveillance is broken... There's no lead at all. Frank, what should I do now? I'm so scared. I've already lost Fannie,; I can't lose Charles, too."
Hearing her words, Frank trembled with rage.
"It's him,. iIt has to be him..."
First, he plotted to kill Fannie.
Then, he targeted Charles.
How could he be so vicious, not even sparing children?
Patricia thought he knew something and asked urgently,. "Frank, who is it? You know where Charles is, right? Please tell me, where is Charles? Who took him?"
Frank tried to calm her down,. "Don't worry, I will bring Charles back to you safe and sound."
After that, without another wordThen, he decisively ended the call decisively, grabbed the clothes he had always thrown on the couch, and drove to the Ivara City Hotel.
"Bang bang bang"."
The knocking echoed to the heavens.
Hunter, who was on a call and annoyed by the interruption, opened the door only to see Frank outside. He cautiously looked around to make sure no one else saw before letting him in and locking the door.
Seeing Frank's fury, Hunter whispered into the phone, "I have something to deal with, I'll call you back later!"."
The quieter he was, the more Frank felt he was up to no good.
Perhaps he was in contact with the people who kidnapped Charles.
Hunter hung up the phone, putting on a hypocritical smile, "You..." He barely got a word out before . "What—" Frank's fist smashed into him.
Frank's fist smashed into him. Hunter took the punch squarely, his tall frame falling to the ground.
Frank had put all his strength into that punch, andso Hunter's mouth split instantly, the taste of blood filling his mouth.
But heHunter wasn't angry at all; he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up from the ground with a smile,. "Done venting? Enough? If not, come at me again."
Frank hated his demeanor,. iInfuriated, he grabbed his collar,. "You devil,! Fannie and Charles awere so young,. hHow can you be so cruel to them? Aren't you afraid Patricia can't bear it?"
Hunter laughed, affectionately straightening his collar, then suddenly pushed him away, his voice sinister,. "Whether Patricia is sad or can bear it has nothing to do with you. I advise you to mind your own business; she's not someone you should care about."
Frank asked, bewildered, "What did Fannie and Charles ever do to you to make you so merciless, even to a child?" Frank asked, bewildered.
Hunter replied nonchalantly, "They did nothing to me. If you must blame someone, blameBlame them for being Patricia and Martin's children."
"That's your reason for wanting to kill them?" Frank looked at him in disbelief. "That's why you wanted to kill them?"
Hunter raised an eyebrow and didn't respond, but his expression said it all.
Frank thoughtbelieved he was a madman.
Withouthad lost his humanity, and had become a complete madman.
NowFirst, it was Fannie and Charles, andbut soon, it would be the child in Patricia's womb.
Just theunborn child. The mere thought was chilling.
He grabbed Hunter's collar again,. "I'm warning you, release Charles. If anything happens to him, I will make sure we both go down together."
Hunter looked at him as if he was talking nonsense, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Frank raged, "You still won't admit it. If? Charles is missing, who elseand only you could it be but you?"behind it."
Hunter brushed off his hands and settled comfortably on the couch, crossing his legs,
. "If it's me, then it's me. If it's not, then it's not. What do I have So, what is there to deny?"
After witnessing his terrifying side, Frank didn't believe him at all,. "If you don't hand over Charles, I'll tell Patricia all about your crimes.lies and awful deeds. She will definitely draw a clear line with a scum like you."
As the words fell, Hunter's previously smiling face turned cold at a visible speed.
. Then he laughed.
He laughed with scorn and madness.
"Threatening me? I, Hunter, have never been afraid of threats in my life!. Go ahead if you want to—"."
Frank felt like his lungs would explode with anger, his eyesangrily, glaring venomously at him.
. If possible, he truly wished he could kill him, then flay him and tear out his tendons to vent his hatred.
Hunter was the complete opposite.
Sitting He sat there leisurely, like a king holding all the cards, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain for Frank..
