Chapter 154 They are Your Children
Sarah couldn't understand for a moment but didn't have time to think about it now. She quickened her pace and walked away again.
She didn't look back, so she naturally didn't see the sinister smile that curved Lisa's lips, filled with a touch of certainty.
Afterward, Sarah arrived at the hotel lobby and unexpectedly met another person she didn't want to see—Antonio.
Each encounter weighed heavily on her heart, one after another. She sensed the person's presence as bothersome and sought to evade them. With a turn, she shifted direction, intent on leaving.
Antonio's gaze darkened at her departure. Closing the distance, he blocked her path without hesitation.
"I know Alex has secured you a new lawyer," he stated bluntly.
Sarah's brows furrowed at his words, and she immediately suspected Harper of divulging information to Antonio. Her precious daughter couldn't seem to release her heart from Antonio's grip.
A pang of disappointment washed over Sarah, her expression dimming.
Harper longed for her biological father, a sentiment Sarah comprehended. Yet, witnessing Antonio's true nature and Harper's unwavering support of him left Sarah feeling suffocated.
Perhaps Harper's youth shielded her from understanding the pain of betrayal, Sarah mused.
Still, her determination remained steadfast.
She had to divorce Antonio!
"Antonio, I hope you stay away from my child in the future," Sarah warned coldly.
He had been deliberately getting close to Harper from the beginning until now, this man was intentional.
But before she finished her sentence, something suddenly emerged from her pocket...
There was a sudden, urgent vibration. Sarah's face froze, it was the exclusive communication device she had with the children. It was only used in emergencies!
She quickly took out the device and saw Ethan's name displayed on it.
"Ethan? Where are you—" Before Sarah could finish her sentence, she heard the two children's voices. They didn't even have time to say a word before the connection was cut off.
Antonio also heard the voices and realized something. His gaze became extremely resolute.
Something happened to the children!
Sarah tightly clenched the communication device, her heart pounding and her whole body trembling.
Could it be Antonio's grandfather again? Did he come back after the last failure? Sarah thought, glaring at Antonio, her questioning eyes clear.
If his grandfather really hurt her children, she would definitely fight back with all her might!
However, at that moment, they heard hurried footsteps rapidly approaching, followed by Lisa's desperate cry. "Antonio!"
Hearing this voice, they instinctively frowned and turned to look. They saw Lisa running towards them in a disheveled state. There were patches of dirt on her dress, her hair was a mess, and there was a bright red handprint on her face!
Limping, she ran to Antonio's side in a panic. "Antonio, I finally found you! Please save Ryan!"
"What happened to him?" Antonio's expression tensed, his heart feeling a sudden jolt.
Lisa covered her face and cried, "Two masked men just kidnapped our son in the garden. I did everything I could to stop them, but they knocked me down!
"Antonio, please think of a way! Ryan is not in good health. What if he gets sick from the scare? He is your child, the only bloodline of the Valencia family!"
As Sarah listened to Lisa's sobbing, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and a mixture of curiosity and unease filled her deep eyes.
All three children had incidents at the same time? How could this happen?
Antonio's grandfather valued Ryan so much he wouldn't harm his great-grandson. Then who could it be?
A dark shadow passed over Antonio's eyes, his gaze turning intense. How dare someone intrude on his territory like this? He was determined to find out who dared to commit such an act and make them pay dearly.
Ignoring Lisa's outstretched hand, he swiftly pulled out his phone, dialed James' number, and commanded, "Retrieve all the hotel surveillance footage immediately!"
…
Soon, they all gathered in the hotel's surveillance room. James was already present, directing the staff to retrieve the recordings.
On the surveillance footage, a group of masked individuals was indeed seen taking the three children from the hotel.
The footage also captured Lisa's brave attempts to stop them. She struggled with the kidnappers but was ultimately pushed away and even harshly slapped by one of them!
