Chapter 452
Renee's heart skipped a beat before she got back to her senses. "Margaret, what happened?" she
asked gravely. "Calm down and tell me slowly."
"I felt that something was wrong just now, so I forced my way into Adie's laboratory, but I... I found that
he wasn't there. I looked around the island, but I still couldn't see him. He's so young. Could some bad
guy have taken him? Miss Ren, what should we do?"
Margaret cried profusely and described the incident with a shaky voice.
Renee had left the two children in her care, but a second of carelessness caused her to fail to realize
that the child had gone missing. She wished so much that she could just kill herself now as an apology,
not to mention Renee blaming her.
"What did you say?”
After Renee heard Margaret's words, she felt like she had received a fatal blow to her heart. Her mind
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthen went completely blank.
Both Adie and Abby were of the greatest significance to her, her sole motivation to strive hard and live
on.
However, Adie disappeared just like that, and it was hard to tell whether he was safe. At that moment,
Renee was just a desperate and helpless mother, no matter how calm and strong she was.
Liam realized the seriousness of the affair, so he took over Renee's phone and looked at Margaret
calmly, who was similarly desperate and helpless. After that, he asked, "Margaret, get the surveillance
video of the island to look for Adie's whereabouts. Check if he left any notes or something in the house.
This boy is smarter than an adult. He'll be fine. Let's not scare ourselves."
"Oh... Okay, I'll go and check it out right away."
Margaret scrambled up quickly and ran to the tool shed to get the surveillance video.
Liam had long set up a surveillance system on the island for safety purposes. He even installed an
alarm system. That system would notify them immediately if any villains approached them. The
bodyguards stationed around the place would also immediately rush over to protect the children.
It was Renee and Liam who meticulously picked and trained those bodyguards. Ordinary people were
no match for those trained professionals.
"Wait!"
Renee finally calmed down. Her face was slightly pale, but it was full of indomitable perseverance.
"Margaret, give the phone to Abby. She might know where Adie went."
Only then did she recall that Abby had been acting strange lately. As long as she claimed that she
wanted to have a video call with Adie, Abby would find various excuses to divert her attention. Besides,
Abby would manipulate her extremely adorable face to make Renee let down her guard.
Now it seemed that the children had cooperated to frame Renee and Margaret.
"Miss Ren, let's not disturb Abby now. She's also very anxious, so anxious she cried. It took me a lot of
effort to put her to bed. I even lied to her that her brother is only temporarily missing and that we'll soon
find him. Only then did she stop crying..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's fine. I know Abby. She's not as weak and delicate as you think unless she's guilty. Just ask her to
join the video call."
Margaret's description finally convinced Renee that Abby was related to Adie's sudden disappearance.
"Umm... I'll get her now."
Margaret held the phone and ran to Abby's room.
Sitting at the side, William had heard much even though he did not know what had happened in detail.
He asked Leia in a low voice, "Does Miss Everheart's child go missing?"
Leia nodded and reminded him. "Don't talk too much. Just keep it in your heart. Those two children are
of utmost importance to my bestie. She doesn't like too many people knowing that she has kids."
"Got it."
William secretly clenched his fists.
He had a bad premonition, but he did not dare to say much.
"Abby, your mommy wants to talk to you. Stop sleeping. Wake up
