Chapter 575 Drugged

On the other hand, Elspeth was perplexed. She wasn't sure what had happened, so she left her mother's house first. In addition, she also decided against calling the police for the time being. If she accidentally offended that person, they might hurt Helia.

When she arrived home, Welson was already there with a few men. He was still wearing his off-white shirt and suit pants but with a coat draped over his shoulders. The anxious look on his face made him look like he had rushed over. His palm was icy cold, and when he placed it over hers, she shuddered from the piercing coldness. "What happened to your mom? What on earth is happening?"

He sounded edgy, and he didn't seem to be faking it. Therefore, it's unlikely that he's the perpetrator. She figured he would've looked awkward if it were all an act. Pursing her lips, she tried to not let her hatred show. "My mom… She might have been kidnapped."

Hearing the mention of 'kidnap,' he frowned. "Could it be done by an enemy?"

The relationship between the two was consistently antagonistic. How could they possibly converse with tranquility?

"I have no time to bicker with you. Tell me what you're calling me for, or I'll hang up."

Although Elspeth could hear the impatience in Jasmine's voice, she also detected a hint of anxiety. "Where did you take my mom, Jasmine?" Her question sounded more like a demand.

Taken aback, Jasmine went silent for a moment before blowing up. "Who knows where your mom is? Why are you asking me that?!"
