Chapter 113: The Kids are Gone
The kids are gone.
It is as if May had done something wrong. She stands in place feeling uneasy and full of anxiety. She didn't dare to say a word and didn't dare to look at the master's angry face. She can't say that it was madam who was wrong. She is deeply conflicted. "What are you standing there for? Get some people and look for them!" Edward shouts.
"Stop!" Janet yells while seating on the sofa and looks coldly at Edward, "Those two children are not related to you, why do you care about them so much?"
If the woman before him isn't his mother, if he didn't see her suffering all those years, Edward will not endure his anger but he suppresses them and says, "Yes, I believe I had said to you that without my agreement, please don't come to this villa!"
"I'm your mother! I can go wherever I want. If I didn't come today, I wouldn't know that you are willing to accept other's bastards!" Janet is furious and didn't hold her words. She looks at Edwards increasingly chilling attitude and is slightly intimidated but then she remembers something and says, "Why, am I wrong? I already got someone to check, those two are John Blake's children. The person who should look for them is John!"
When she mentions this name, Edward's eyes become dazed for a moment and his entire body stiffens up. Standing one side, May is even more afraid. Was she to look for them or not, she didn't know what she should do.
"Go!" Edward ordered.
"Yes, yes." May nods hurriedly.
"Stop! Didn't you all say that her two children are intelligent? Is there a need to look for them? I believe they can look for someone to become their stepfather!" Janet says sarcastically and furiously sees Edward's anxiousness, "Those two aren't your children, do you need to be so worried? Furthermore..."
Janet wants to continue but Edward stares coldly at her. Edward then turns towards May and May immediately runs to the security post to call some people to help her search for the kids.
The Smiths are the elite of this city and when the family established the SA Group, they became the city's most respected household. One call and the police station sent several policemen to help with the search. In addition, the bodyguards of the family also went to the surrounding areas to look for them.
Even if Janet wants to stop the search, she relents when she sees how determined Edward is. After all, they are kids and if they are really lost, then she will also feel guilty. She decides not to pursue the matter.
But she didn't forget her purpose for going there.
"You abandoned Jacqueline who is under treatment in the USA and came back to get Alice out of the prison, send her back in."
"Impossible," Edward says clearly and without any doubt.
Janet is so angry that her face is flushed red and stares at Edward, "Impossible? Do you know what you are doing? Getting someone out from the prison. If it wasn't that the Smith family has authority here and if it wasn't the Hale family helping to block, do you think that you can be sitting here?"
"Alice isn't a criminal. Jacqueline's situation isn't caused by her."
"Not her? Recordings by the security camera and all the evidence are pointing towards her. Who else can it be? The police determined that it was her and she had confessed. You are still defending her, are you drugged by her?" Janet is increasingly agitated. If Alice had been present, she would have torn her from limb to limb.
Once she thought about the Roberts family, Janet will become restless. If she continues to see her son walking down this path, not only will the Smith family be ruined, Edward will also be ruined by this woman!
"Don't interfere with this issue," Edward says calmly and is clearly frustrated.
When she hears this, she is even more furious, "I am your mother if I don't bother, who will! And this matter affects the reputation of the Smith family. How can I not interfere? Now you are keeping a criminal here, do you know what others will think?" "Nothing to do with me."
Slap!
The slap is loud and crisp. May is shocked stiff in place. She sees the imprint on master's face and opens her mouth in shock. Madam actually hit master.
After the slap, Janet looks at the cold as ice Edward and looks at her right hand. She suddenly panics and sees Edward turn to leave. She hurries to grab him and says, "Edward, mom, mom didn't mean to hit you. You must listen to me. I..." "Either you leave or I leave," Edward said coldly.
Janet bites her lips and looks at Edward's cold expression and knows that it is pointless for her to say anything. When she sees that Edward is about to walk out, she might as well go back to think of other means. But she can't help it and continues to say. "Okay, I'll leave. But you better consider carefully this issue. The Hale family isn't someone to antagonize. If you continue like this, our Smith family will be ruined by you. Even if you don't think for yourself, you must think for your father, he..." "Are you done?!!" Edward yells furiously and shocks Janet to retrieve her hand. Seeing that he is really furious, she stops and left.
After Janet leaves, the entire villa fell silent and May stands in place for a long time. She sees master in deep thoughts sitting on the sofa and the imprint on his face was so obvious. She says, "Master, shall I get some ointment for you?" "No need," Edward replies.
"Shall I prepare dinner? Miss Roberts she..."
"Fuck off!" Edward yells which reflect his fury. May didn't dare to ask again and retreat to the side. She can't help but wonder why Alice didn't come back with him. Didn't they go out together?
...
"Mayor Hale, yes yes yes, I will settle this properly. Rest assured, I know what to do..."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After getting a satisfactory answer, George Hale gives a rare smile and acknowledges it. He hangs up the call and sees her daughter rushing in angrily and asked, "Who made you angry again?" Joanna stomps her feet and clenches her teeth and said, "Who else, just now Janet called and says that she didn't see Alice in that villa. She must be hidden by Edward somewhere!" "Really?" George calmly asks seemingly uninterested.
"The slut was nowhere to be seen but she saw the slut's children and drove them away. It's best that they were caught by those who sell children!" Joanna says ruthlessly. Once he hears this, George seems to be interested and laughs, "Then where do you wish that they are sold to?"
