Forbidden Passion

Chapter 848 Ruby Was Tricked

Ruby, upon hearing this, quickly turned and walked downstairs. "Cliff, how long has Peter been missing? Call the police immediately, I'll come over and help you find

Peter."

"Okay, okay, Ruby, thank you. His parents are not here. If something happens to Peter, I really don't know how to explain it to them," Cliff said gratefully.

Ruby comforted her with a few words and hung up the phone. She put on her shoes and turned to leave.

She was extremely anxious. Cliff's grandson was only five years old. If such a small child were to be kidnapped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She jogged out of the villa, and her phone suddenly rang. She answered it while running.

Donovan's cold voice came through the earpiece, "Where are you going?"

"My former neighbor's grandson is missing. His parents are both working out of town. I

need to help find Peter. Can I take the afternoon off?" Ruby said, panting.

Donovan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, watching her figure disappear from sight. For some reason, he felt uneasy.

"Wait outside, I'll go with you."

Ruby was stunned and quickly said, "No need, I've already left the villa area. You go ahead with your work. I've already asked Cliff to call the police."

Donovan was displeased, "Wait outside, I'll be there soon."

Ruby stood on the road outside the villa area. It was not easy to get a taxi here, and she had to walk a bit further. She was torn between taking a taxi or waiting for Donovan to pick her up.

Suddenly, a car drove up in front of her, a silver-gray Volkswagen. The car screeched to a halt in front of her, and two bodyguards in black quickly got out.
