She had actually slept in this room for two or three hours without knowing about it.
The thought of it frightened Coco.
Upon returning to the company, Coco immediately sent the information on the couple to Kendrick.
After going through it again, Kendrick still could not find anything suspicious.
Their identity and background information were all legitimate, but when Kendrick tried to call them, he could no longer get through to their phones.
It was evident that those two had something to do with Niamh’s disappearance.
Kendrick also quickly obtained the security footage for the corridor outside the room where Niamh had been at the time, but the screen was all black.
This was obviously premediatated, and the other party’s goal was Niamh.
However, at the present, Kendrick could not think of an individual other than Carter who boar such malicious intent toward Niamh and himself.
Presently, Kendrick’s assistant, Ken, rushed over to him in a hurry, and at the same time, he handed Kendrick a tablet.
“Mr. Waldburg, you’re right. It is exactly as you thought.”
Kendrick took the tablet from Ken and saw a video on the screen.
Even though the person in the video was wearing sunglasses, Carter’s features were still fairly recognizable.
“He has indeed returned to Glendale.”
Kendrick said in confirmation. He believed that Carter had spread the news of him going back to St. Piaf and then returned in secret, and his purpose of doing that was to make a move against Niamh.
Frustrated, Kendrick tossed the tablet and frowned, then got up and walked to the French window.
He looked at the nooks and crannies of the bustling city under the sun. His heart, however, was dark.
He had blundered. He had miscalculated.
All along, Carter’s target had been Niamh, not their children.
Carter stubbornly believed that Shirley gave up on his child and then tried to kill herself because Kendrick had injected Shirley with AXP69.
That was why Carter wanted to seek revenge on Kendrick.
The person Kendrick cared about the most in this world was none other than Niamh.
Presently, Carter, who was on a chartered plane that was about to take off, received a call from an unknown caller.
After looking at the unfamiliar number, he figured this was Kendrick.
He looked at Niamh, who was currently deeply asleep, and nonchalantly picked up the phone, pretending to ask curiously.
“Who is this?”
“Carter, it’s me, Kendrick.” Kendrick quickly told Carter who he was.
On this side, Carter deliberately stayed silent for two seconds before speaking.
“Kendrick, I don’t think there’s anything you need to contact me about.”
“Carter, stop pretending. I know you’ve abducted my wife. If anything, just come at me directly. Don’t bully a weak woman.”
“Weak?”
Carter repeated that word with a fake smile, then looked at Niamh who was sleeping next to him.
He thought that the word “weak” was absolutely unbefitting of Niamh.
He even admired Niamh because he thought she was the most tenacious and unyielding woman he ever met.
“ I don’t know what you’re talking about, Kendrick. Don’t disturb me. I neither want to hear your voice nor want to see you,” Carter said as he was about to hang up the phone.
“Carter, you’re contradicting yourself. You said you want to avenge your dead child, but now you’re saying you don’t want to see me. You want to exact your vengeance on me, but how will you savor it if you don’t see me suffering?”
Tch.
When Carter heard what Kendrick said, his sharp eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
“Carter, you’re a man too. Come at me. Don’t drag my wife into this.”
“Heh. ” Carter let out a cold chuckle after a while.
His dark gaze landed softly on Niamh’s sleeping face.
“You’re right. I want to exact vengeance on you, but the best way to do that is to let you experience the pain of losing someone you love.”
“Carter! ”
“For you, nothing hurts more than losing Eveline, right? “
“Carter, don’t hurt Nia! ”
“No, I won’t hurt my future wife.”
“Carter, what did you say? What is the meaning of this? ” When Kendrick heard Carter’s words, heavy with implication, his heart started beating erratically. He was extremely anxious.
“Carter, say something. What are you going to do?”
“Isn’t it obvious what I want to do? I want to let you experience what it’s like to lose someone you love, forever.”
“Carter! Carter! ” Beep—
When Kendrick was about to stop him, he heard the busy tone on the other side of the phone.
Carter hung up the phone, and the plane took off ten minutes later.
Kendrick immediately and decisively booked a plane ticket to St. Piaf online. When he was about to head home to pack his bags, he received a sudden call from the schoolteacher.
On the other end of the line, Jackson’s teacher sobbed and said inaudibly, “Mr. Waldburg, the school was on fire just now. We had been in such a hurry in putting out the fire, and Jackson and another kid in the class disappeared after we’ve put out the fire. We’ve checked the security footage, and we saw two men forcefully taking them away during the fire.”
After learning about this, Kendrick immediately went to the school to look at the footage.
When he saw the two men in black who came to the school with a purpose on the footage, Kendrick immediately understood.
Those must be Carter’s men.
Carter knew that Kendrick would immediately chase after him once Kendrick knew that Carter had taken Niamh away.
He was delaying Kendrick so that Kendrick could not catch up to Niamh immediately.
Carter had meticulously planned everything.
When Kendrick saw his son who had his mouth covered, his fingers slowly clenched into a fist.
He was in a dilemma now. His heart thought of Niamh, but he could not neglect his son too.
However, he could not tell his family about Niamh lest he made everyone even more worried and anxious.
As of now, he could only endure all this alone.
Kendrick looked at the wedding ring on his ring finger and made a decision.
‘Nia, wait for me. I’ll go look for you after I find our son and send him home safely. You have to wait for me!’
Kendrick looked at the ring and promised silently.
Barely a moment later, Kendrick received a phone call from home.
It was from Karen. She was also sobbing, and her voice was laced with anxiety. “Kendrick, just now, a man called and said he kidnapped Jack. He told us to prepare 1oo million to get him back. If not, he’ll…”
Karen did not dare continue to speak, but Kendrick could figure out what would happen.
He comforted Karen and then hung up the phone before he went home.
They had 1oo million dollars, but Kendrick knew very well that Carter was just doing this to buy time.
However, Kendrick could not predict how sinister and cruel Carter could be—he might not even let Jackson go.
That man might hurt all the people Kendrick cared about merely for revenge.
St. Piaf.
Carter brought the still-unconscious Niamh into the study.
