He could not escape. He could only admit defeat.
"I'm... I'm willing to obey your command, Miss Lily.”
Lily sneered. "That's more like it."
After a pause, she said, "Pack your things. From now o n, we will be stalking Jane, then find a time to get rid o f that man!"
"Yes, Miss Lily."
The two of them then quietly checked out of the room and left.
Over on this end, Alex got in the car that was parked o n the street, and then he ordered with a hoarse voice," Get rid of everything here and let everyone keep their lips sealed. Just take it that we have never been here."
"Yes, Master Alex!"
"Block all the news. Nothing can be posted, not on any tabloids or internet," said Alex again.
"Got it, Master Alex!"
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
The driver, Andrew, asked, "Master Alex, are we going back to Kidon City?"
Alex replied, "Yes, return to Kidon City."
"Yes!
After this group of people, who had first come to this northeastern land from Kidon City, had kicked up a storm for three weeks, one of the troubles on Alex's mind was considered resolved.
Although he did not get anything out of it at all, his heart seemed to have calmed quite a bit. After he was calmed, only then did Alex recall that his conversation on the phone with Sebastian previously was still left unfinished.
It was just more than an hour, but Alex had a feeling a s if everything was a world away from where it was.
He recalled that when Sebastian called him more than an hour ago, he seemed to be saying that he already helped Alex get the arrangement to get rid of Noah in place.
Thinking of that, Alex immediately called Sebastian.
"Do you know? That woman's heart is no longer mine, so why should I forcibly bring her back? I might as well just let her go."
Sebastian uttered, "You..."
"What’s wrong?" asked Alex, startled.
Over on this end, Sebastian said, "I had long known that this man is not a bad person. You asked me to have him killed, but to be honest with you, I couldn't bear to do it. So, I arranged for them to go to a small city by the sea in the northeastern area. I...I had my men take his mother away the moment that man and Jane left the house this morning."
Alex was speechless.
At this moment, over on another end, Noah and Jane, who were both still in shock, had already ridden the rickshaw back to the place they had temporarily rented. They originally wanted to reheat the mushroom sandwich to fill their stomachs, and then relocate again together as a family. However, when they came home, they could no longer find the old lady.
Where was his mother?
"Mrs Hill..." Jane cried out in despair outside the yard.
After she shouted, she turned her head around and saw Alex standing at the entrance of the yard.
Jane asked with incomparable desperation, "Was it you who had kidnapped her?"
