The lady comforted her.
Anastasia, however, remained terrified. It was far too sudden. In just a blink of an eye, Jared had vanished.
She turned around and saw that David and his men were no longer around. What happened? They’ve been following me all along!
Anxiously, she took her phone out and called Elliot.
“Hello?”
“Elliot, have David and his men returned yet? Jared has gone missing! He vanished before my eyes!” Anastasia was about to lose it and her voice was trembling nervously.
“Don’t panic, Anastasia. I’ll contact David now, alright?” Elliot tried to console her. “You look around first while I give him a call.”

After ending the call, Anastasia went to the broadcasting area with the staff. She called Jared’s name several times over the broadcast and asked him to approach the staff and return to her once he heard the broadcast.
At the same time, all staff were reminded to keep an eye out for any child dressed similarly to Jared.
While the broadcaster was still speaking, Anastasia’s phone rang. She picked it up right away when she saw it was Elliot who called. “Hello?”
“Something must have happened to Jared, Anastasia. I can’t contact David and his men at all. Jared might have been kidnapped. I’m rushing to the museum now.”
“What?!” Hearing that, Anastasia felt as though all her energy was drained and she almost dropped her phone to the floor. A staff member nearby immediately held her when he saw that. “Miss, are you okay?”
With reddened eyes, she begged the staff, “My son has been abducted! Please show me the surveillance video!”
In the meantime, Elliot was on his way to the museum as well. When his car came to a stop in front of a traffic light, he could hear his phone ring, and he answered it immediately as he assumed that the caller was Anastasia. “Hello?”
“Anastasia’s son is in our hands, Elliot Presgrave. Don’t you dare inform the police! Follow our instructions or otherwise, Anastasia will never get to see her son again.” It was a male voice, clearly generated by a voice-changing device.
Elliot’s car immediately braked, almost colliding with the car behind him. After a brief pause, he calmly responded, “What exactly do you want me to do? I can give you whatever you want as long as you don’t harm the child.”
Elliot knew fully well that this kidnapper, or the group of them, kidnapped Jared all because of him.
At the same time, a man approached his window and violently knocked on it. Elliot’s earlier brake almost caused this man to collide with him.
After a few knocks, the man was met with Elliot’s terrifying cold stare. That startled him, and he quickly took a few steps back and walked away after spewing some vulgarities.
