Yvette's eyes narrowed, and she instantly tensed up. "What did you say? Who are you?"

The man didn't answer directly but instead mocked her before hanging up the phone. "Your son has been missing for a night, and you didn't even notice. How careless of you." Missing for a night?

Yvette immediately thought of Noah. She quickly dialed his number.

At Dewberry Manor, Noah had just finished the breakfast the nanny had prepared when he finally received a call from Yvette. Curious, he asked, "Mom, did you find Mr. Xavier?" That single word, "Mom", caused Yvette's tightly wound nerves to relax instantly.

She didn't consider the possibility that the person hadn't taken Noah, but rather Zachary, who had been staying at the Shaw residence.

"Noah, are you safe at home?"

"Yeah, everything's okay. Why? What's going on?" Noah asked.

"Nothing. I'm glad you're okay. Just make sure you stay inside and don't go out. Stay close to Kiki," Yvette instructed.

She thought it was just a scam call and didn't dwell on it further.
