After the shock, Casper North immediately dialed Raina’s number.
It’s over, it’s over, his sister Raina really can’t stand it anymore and decided to abandon him.
"Anya’s Mommy..." Casper turned his head, looking pitifully at Anya Forrest.
Anya Forrest patted his small shoulder: "What goes around, comes around. No one is spared."
Casper pouted, his expression wrinkled like a bitter melon: "Anya’s Mommy, I’m really going to cry."
Baby Hawthorne disdainfully stuffed a pack of tissues into his hand, saying to cry far away.
When the two returned to The Hawthorne Family and met up with Shea North, another storm was brewing,

At this moment, after sending the little ones into the car, Quinn Thorne, sensing something was amiss, immediately stopped Dante Drake.
"Boss, what’s going on?" Quinn demanded, his face serious.
Beside him, Anya Forrest had already realized things weren’t as simple as they seemed. No need to say more, as a mother, Raina was undoubtedly the most qualified.
She would never leave her two children and go on a honeymoon herself.
Especially without saying anything in advance.
"Is Raina in trouble?" Anya asked, voicing her greatest worry.
Dante Drake glanced at Anya, clearly unwilling to share information with her, an outsider.
Quinn saw through his intent: "She’s my wife, one of us, no need to hide it."
Anya moved her lips but ultimately didn’t correct Quinn’s statement.
"I don’t know the specifics, someone targeted Mr. Hawthorne and kidnapped Mrs. Hawthorne to use as leverage. Mr. Hawthorne has already gone after them."
He actually knew very well; the opposition was powerful.
Precisely because he understood the opponent’s strength, he was left behind to protect the three children at home.
"What? Kidnap?" Hearing this, Anya almost fainted, luckily Quinn caught her in time.
But Anya regained her footing, angrily shrugging off Quinn’s hand.
"What is the matter with your Hawthorne Family? Aren’t you supposed to be so powerful? Can’t even protect one person. Where’s Elias Hawthorne? Where is he?"
Anya said, about to rush off to the rescue.
Quinn couldn’t let her go.
"Little Lady, calm down, don’t tear your wound. The boss has already gone personally, surely he’ll bring Raina back safely. Let’s not make things worse."
But Anya really didn’t believe Quinn.
She knew better than anyone about Raina’s skills; anyone able to kidnap her must not be ordinary.
However, knowing it involved the Hawthorne Family, Quinn and the others wouldn’t speak the truth to her, so after a burst of anger, she didn’t argue and returned to the apartment, dialing the third number.
"Third brother, Raina’s in trouble, I suspect things aren’t simple, quickly investigate."
"I was about to contact you guys, according to the news network, there’s an appearance of The Umbral Zone people in Southgate."
Upon hearing this, Anya’s face instantly became grave.
The Umbral Zone is a chaotic and lawless place; if someone from there is involved, even deploying the entire Ghost Doctor’s Vale might struggle to rescue Raina.
After a moment of silence, Anya said: "Immediately notify everyone to search for Raina’s whereabouts, contact if there’s any news."
"Alright, I’ll get on it right away."
After hanging up, Anya still felt uneasy, hesitated repeatedly, and dialed another number.
That number took a long time to connect, but as soon as it did, Anya spoke: "Raina has been kidnapped, it’s someone from The Umbral Zone."
Only those four words from start to finish, and the call lasted less than ten seconds, but Anya felt much more at ease.
Though the aftermath might be troublesome, as long as Raina was safe, she wouldn’t care about anything else.
