Chapter 187: I Must Go To My Daughter

In Pinkwater Alley, Hugo and Jennie were restless all night. Tina had gone out and hadn't returned, causing them great concern. They had tried calling her several times, only to find her phone constantly engaged. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Hugo hurried to open the door, and was stunned to see Marie standing there. "Marie? What are you doing here?" he asked, confused. It was nearly half-past ten at night-why would she visit at such a late hour without sleeping, and with her eyes red as though she had just cried?

Marie managed a weak smile, trying to maintain her composure. "Sophia has been kidnapped," she explained, her voice trembling. "Tina told me to come here first; she's gone to rescue her!"

"What!" both Hugo and Jennie exclaimed in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at Marie.

Jennie was the first to react, grabbing Marie by the arm, her voice filled with urgency. "You just said Tina went to rescue someone? How could she do that? She's only a nineteen-year-old girl and doesn't even know martial arts. How could you let her go?"

Hugo added, "Marie, your daughter has been kidnapped, and you send my daughter to rescue her? That's really not right!" The thought of his own daughter being in danger was unbearable. No father would ever want his daughter to face such peril.

Marie hadn't expected such a barrage of questions and suddenly felt overwhelmed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly in my panic. I'll call Tina right now and tell her not to go. I've already called the police," she stammered. She had reported the kidnapping to the police immediately after discovering Sophia was taken, and had tried to reach the Farrell family, but Jared Farrell's phone was unreachable. Just then, Tina had called, and in a moment of desperation, Marie had told her everything. Regret washed over her as she remembered that Tina was just a young girl, inexperienced in fighting.

Marie hurriedly tried calling Tina, but the line was still busy. She couldn't bear to meet Hugo's gaze and whispered, "I can't get through!"

At that moment, Hugo's phone rang. It was a colleague from his department. Reluctantly, Hugo answered the call. The voice on the other end was urgent. "Mr. Reed, you need to check the live streaming app immediately. Someone has kidnapped your daughter's student and is demanding she comes to rescue them! Over a million people are watching that channel; you need to see this."
