Chapter 277
Kylie’s hand that was holding the phone was trembling.
She praised in her heart, ‘No.
“Nothing would happen to Joseph”
Kylie never thought that Stella would target Joseph.
After all, Stella had been engaged to Albert, and the incident of the Garner family had just been exposed. Logically speaking, Stella should be behaving herself at the moment and had no way to get to Beliey.
Therefore, Kylie was not vigilant against Stella at all. Perhaps before Stella knew that something would happen to the Garner family, she was ready to take revenge on Kylie and the others at all costs!
She was always crazy.
Kylie’s hands were trembling as she dialed the head teacher’s number. However, no one picked up the phone. Kylie did not know if the head teacher was in class or had muted the phone…
“Don’t be panicked.” Ethan looked at Kylie and comforted her. “Nothing will happen. I’m just taking precautions.
That was not the case.
From her intuition, Kylie could tell that Stella had caught the chance of everyone’s attention being on Ethan to take Joseph
away.
At the thought that Joseph might stay with that crazy woman, Kylie could not calm down for even half a minute.
“Give me your phone. Ethan remained calm.
He had been in prison for too long, and his phone had run out of battery.
Kylie quickly handed the phone to Ethan.
Ethan made a call. “Derick, contact the principal of the school where Joseph stays immediately. Tell him that I’m going to pick up Joseph later and that no one is allowed to pick up Joseph other than me.”
“Okay.”
Ethan hung up the phone.
It was quiet in the car, so quiet that it was suffocating.
The phone rang again.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car became even more tense.
Ethan answered the phone, “Derick.”
“Mr. Hayden, Mr. Joseph was picked up at around ten o’clock in the morning. The principal said that it was Mr. Joseph’s mother who did it. Her name is Stella.
Ethan’s face darkened.
Kylie noticed it.
“I got it.”
Chapter 277
Ethan put down the phone.
Joseph was taken away by Stella, right?” Kylie asked Ethan as she noticed his murderous gaze.
Ethan swallowed as he slowly nodded.
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Kylie was completely stunned by the bad news.
She would rather everything be directed at her. She could not imagine what Stella would do to Joseph. If Stella indeed did something….
“Don’t be afraid.” Ethan held Kylie’s hand. Even though his fingers were trembling, he comforted her gently. “Stella won’t do anything to Jos. She will only threaten you and me with him. Since she hasn’t called us yet, it means that Jos is safe.”
“But what if she is not going to threaten us? She’s such a smart person. Doesn’t she know the most vicious way to hurt us?” Kylie asked Ethan. She knows Joseph is my weakness. She knows Joseph is the most important for me!”
Kylie couldn’t calm herself down at the thought of Joseph’s safety.
“She won’t hurt Joseph,” Ethan said firmly. She knows you are the most important for me.”
Kylie was stunned.
She looked straight at Ethan.
“Believe me. In Stella’s heart, you are more important than Jos. She has never been a mother, and she can’t understand how important children are to their parents. In a heartless family like the Garner family, kinship is about benefits and not something valuable. She will only think that without Jos, we can still have other children and will only suffer for a moment. However, I will suffer for the rest of my life if I lose you! Therefore, if she wants to take revenge on me, she will hurt you instead of Jos.
Ethan spoke quickly and anxiously.
He did not know if he was trying to persuade Kylie or himself.
Kylie bit her lips and tried to calm herself down.
She tried her best to make herself believe what Ethan said.
She regained her composure in the end and asked Ethan, “Then what should we do now? Are we just waiting for Stella to contact us?”
“Stella should be wanted all over the country by now. She won’t show up or contact us easily. She’s smart enough to know that the longer it takes, the easier it will be for us to lose control and promise the things she wants. We can’t sit still and do nothing. Let’s try to figure out where she’s hiding now and see if we can find her before she contacts us.”
“Okay.” Kylie nodded.
After Ethan finished analyzing, he did not waste any more time. He took Kylie’s phone and began to make calls one by one. Help me get the surveillance footage. Starting from nine o’clock in the morning….
“Check the exact location of the car with the license plate of….
“Get the latest IP address of the mobile phone number…”
The car stopped in the garage of the apartment where Kylie lived
Along the way, Ethan called non-stop and reported the situation to the police, asking them to be more careful in capturing Stella because she had a hostage.
O
hapte
After that, he went upstairs to Kylie’s house.
Just as they stepped into the home, the surveillance footage was sent over.
Kylie quickly took out the computer and clicked the video.
At first, it was playing at four times the speed, until the surveillance footage at the school gate showed Joseph.
both nervous and stared at the screen.
Kylie and Ethan were b
Joseph was led out by the teacher. When he saw Stella, he was obviously reluctant and refused to leave with her. However, regardless of Joseph’s resistance, Stella picked him up and handed him to the bodyguard in the black suit behind.
Seeing the scene, the teacher might have sensed something amiss.
Stella said something to her and dismissed her suspicion.
It was 9:30 AM, and Ethan’s trial had yet to begin. No one knew that something big had happened to the Garner family, and the teacher did not suspect more. Moreover, Stella had participated in the last school sports meet with Ethan, and the teacher might have heard the rumors reported by the media. So in her mind, even if the engagement between Stella and Ethan was canceled, she would think that Stella was Joseph’s biological mother.
There was nothing wrong with Joseph leaving with his biological mother.
Most importantly, with Stella’s status, the teacher did not dare to resist her at all.
Kylie’s heart ached when she saw Joseph being dragged into the car by the bodyguards. He was resisting, but with his small body, there was nothing he could do….
“Stella was driving her own car.” Ethan was much calmer. He had been observing the details in the video.
Kylie held back her tears and tried to search for clues.
“There should be three other people in the car besides Stella and Jos
As Ethan spoke, he quickly stopped the video and took screenshots of the remaining three people. One of them, who was carrying Joseph, could be seen clearly, and the other two faces were blurry.
After taking the screenshot, Ethan said to Kylie, ‘Send them to Gideon. Ask him to find the high-definition photos o three bodyguards from the Garner family and send them to us as soon as possible. They must be the ones who will
later.
