"She ran away by herself?" Maverick Williams immediately turned to Ted Williams, "Right, weren’t you supposed to watch her? How did you let her escape?"
Ted Williams immediately lowered his head and said, "She was following right behind me when boarding the plane, but when I turned around, she was gone."
Maverick Williams said angrily, "If anything happens to your sister, I will hold you accountable."
Ted Williams lowered his head, a clear chill flashing in his eyes the moment he did so.
But Maverick Williams did not notice it.
Listening to the voice over the phone, Maverick Williams continued to speak to Hope Williams, "Don’t think you’re exempt from this, this matter is also inseparably linked to you. If it weren’t for your insistence on making Luna leave, she wouldn’t have run away. If Luna meets with any misfortune..."
Hope Williams couldn’t stand to listen to him anymore and hung up the phone directly.
Jade Bell saw her looking troubled and asked with concern, "Is something wrong with Luna?"
"I don’t know, but she should be fine. Maverick Williams and Ted Williams have already gone to look for her. I’ll take you home first."
Jade Bell felt uneasy, sensing that something bad was going to happen.
"Hope, could you please send someone to look for Luna?" Jade Bell begged Hope Williams with hopeful eyes.
Hope Williams pursed her lips and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
She too wanted to know where Luna Williams had run off to and hoped to find her quickly.
Not because she feared Luna Williams might come to harm, but because she worried Luna might be plotting something in the shadows, making her unpredictable.
At this moment, Luna Williams, following Ted Williams’s instructions, found Linfengmian, who Ted Williams said had mercenaries at his disposal and could help her capture Hope Williams.
"Are you the one Ted Williams was talking about?"
Luna Williams narrowed her eyes; the person sitting in the darkness was indiscernible, with only the contours of their face visible.
Mysterious and unsettling.
Luna Williams swallowed nervously; the room was dark, with only the moonlight streaming through the window providing illumination.
Linfengmian gave a hollow smile, "What do you want to do?"
"I want you to help me capture Hope Williams. Ted Williams said you have mercenaries under your command, name your price, I can pay it."
Linfengmian lifted his hand and gestured a number.
Luna Williams frowned, "What do you mean? You want five million?"
Linfengmian let out a soft chuckle, "Fifty million."
Luna Williams’s eyes widened in shock.
"Why don’t you just rob me?"
With fifty million, she could hire many assassins outside.
Linfengmian wasn’t in a hurry, chuckled again, and made a dismissing gesture with his hand, indicating the end of their meeting.
"No! Wait." Luna Williams took a deep breath, throwing caution to the wind, "Fine, but I don’t have that much right now."
Luna Williams rummaged through her pockets, pulling out a card and her mobile phone, "I can only give you thirty million for now, the rest after you finish the job."
Linfengmian smiled, "Okay."
Luna Williams, seeing him agree, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You must capture Hope Williams. I need her bone marrow, as soon as possible."
"Don’t worry, we will give you a satisfactory result."
Luna Williams left, feeling satisfied. She needed to find a hospital now; her body couldn’t take it anymore as her vision blurred and she felt so fatigued she was about to collapse.
Linfengmian pulled out his phone to call Ted Williams, "What do you mean by sending her to me?"
"A ready-made scapegoat, why not make use of it? Plus, it lets you make a tidy sum, isn’t that good?"
"Ted Williams, you really know how to scheme, you just want to clear your own name."
"Mutual benefit, it’s best if both of them stay in Emperor Capital forever."
Hope Williams brought Jade Bell home. Hope Williams herself had not had dinner, and Jade Bell had not either, so Hope Williams instructed the housemaid to whip up a few dishes for them to make do.
Upon hearing the commotion downstairs, Luke and Willow knew that Hope Williams had returned; both kids immediately ran down from upstairs.
Jade Bell’s eyes lit up upon seeing the two little ones, "Hope, are these Luke and Willow?"
Hope Williams’s eyes were smiling as she brought Luke and Willow to Jade Bell, "Yes, Great Grandmother, this is Luke and Willow. Luke, Willow, say ’Great Grandmother Tah.’
"Great Grandmother Tah." Luke and Willow looked up at Jade Bell with their clear, large eyes, and upon hearing their childlike voices, Jade Bell’s heart nearly melted.
"Oh, oh." Watching the two little ones, Jade Bell teared up, unable to resist embracing them in her arms.
"Great Grandmother Tah, why are you crying? Is it because you don’t like Luke and Willow?" Willow thoughtfully wiped away Jade Bell’s tears with her chubby little hands.
Jade Bell took a deep breath, her mouth curving into a smile, "No, Great Grandmother Tah is both moved and happy."
Luke immediately said, "Great Grandmother Tah should smile when happy."
"Alright, alright. I came in a hurry today and didn’t bring you any gifts, I’ll make sure to make it up to you next time."
Hope Williams pursed her lips and said, "Grandma, you don’t have to act like a stranger, please come sit down."
"Alright." Jade Bell couldn’t take her eyes off the two adorable children, clearly showing her affection for Luke and Willow.
"By the way, Luke, Willow, where is Sister Zoey?"
"Sister Zoey said she had something to do... um... she said a brother is chasing her, she has to run... yeah, that’s it."
Willow blinked and said.
