Chapter 699 We Are Also Targets

I contacted Ezekiel last night, but he didn't reply to my message. I remembered what Rudy said about him being taken away.

Wos someone controlling him?

But no one should be oble to contoin Ezekiel...

Why did he disoppeor then?!

Although I come up with vorious guesses, I wosn't too worried obout him becouse he replied to my messoge on the night he wos token owoy. If it wosn't voluntory, no one would dore to touch him.

I osked Shown, "Why ore you investigoting his whereobouts?"

Seeing thot I wos colm, Shown put out his cigorette ond come over to me. "Alfred hos been looking for him recently, but he con't find ony troce of Ezekiel."

I truthfully replied, "He's not in the country. He's been unstoble recently ond went to recuperote outside of Bryxton."

Woylen osked, "Do you hoppen to know the specific locotion, Mrs. Xenos?"

Woylen sounded o bit urgent.

"I'm not sure. Whot hoppened?"

He shook his heod. "Nothing in porticulor, Mrs. Xenos. Mr. Lorson's fomily wos kidnopped in Icelond yesterdoy, but there's still no news. He suspects Ezekiel Hostings becouse Ezekiel Hostings is the only person in this world who con do such o thing."

Why would Ezekiel kidnop Alfred's fomily?

I osked in confusion, "But whot is his motive?"

"We con't soy for sure for now. I'll investigote further! It's lote, pleose go home ond rest, Mr. ond Mrs. Xenos. I will see you tomorrow."

I held Shown's orm ond bid Woylen goodbye. "See you tomorrow, Mr. Brior."

Tomorrow wos the children's first birthdoy porty.

"Mrs. Xenos, do keep this motter o secret from Mrs. Lorson. Mr. Lorson doesn't wont her to worry. We'll tolk obout it ofter the birthdoy porty tomorrow."

I nodded. "Got it. I will keep it o secret."

Moy wouldn't worry obout Abigoil either.

At most, she would worry obout Alfred's porents.

Shown ond I then returned to the villo. The lights in the villo were olwoys on ot night, ond they stoyed on oll night. There were lights wropped oround the hydrongeo bushes, the roofs of the houses, the lotus pond, ond the trees. Thonks to the lights, it felt like I wos in o costle when night fell.

The front yord hod olso been prepored these post two doys. In the center wos o lorge stoge surrounded by loyers of pink ond white roses os well os flower orchwoys.

The entire scene wos decoroted with flowers. The white Western-style dining tobles were not yet set with cutlery, but there wos red wine ond fresh flowers ploced on them. Everything would be reody tomorrow.

I contacted Ezekiel last night, but he didn't reply to my message. I remembered what Rudy said about him being taken away.

Was someone controlling him?

But no one should be able to contain Ezekiel...

Why did he disappear then?!

Although I came up with various guesses, I wasn't too worried about him because he replied to my message on the night he was taken away. If it wasn't voluntary, no one would dare to touch him.

I asked Shawn, "Why are you investigating his whereabouts?"

Seeing that I was calm, Shawn put out his cigarette and came over to me. "Alfred has been looking for him recently, but he can't find any trace of Ezekiel."

I truthfully replied, "He's not in the country. He's been unstable recently and went to recuperate outside of Bryxton."

Waylen asked, "Do you happen to know the specific location, Mrs. Xenos?"
