The next morning, Clara didn’t see Shane in the office.
Confused, she asked Leilah, “Where is Shane?”
“I don’t know.”
Leilah didn’t like Shane, Clara knew that. So she didn’t expect to get any useful information from Leilah.
“Okay.” Clara nodded and went to work. At lunchtime, she received a call from home.
“Mrs. Kirkland, there’s like a hundred dollars in Neo’s pocket, please remind him.”
“What? Isn’t Neo home?”
“Didn’t you take him away?”
“No!” Now there was only one thought in Clara’s mind, Neo was lost! Clara collapsed in an instant, but she knew she had to be strong now.
“What happened?” Clara asked in a stern yet anxious voice.
“Mr. Shane Doyle came to the house this morning and took Neo away. I saw the message you sent, so I handed Neo to him.” The nanny said, not knowing what was wrong.
“I just found that Neo had money in his pocket, which was why I called. ”
Neo was taken away by Shane. Where was he going with Neo? What was his purpose? Why did he do that?
Clara’s mind flashed with questions. She couldn’t think of the answers.
After Clara hung up the phone, she called Shane, but his phone was turned off.
Clara called Horace in anxiety. Hearing what happened, Horace was enraged. He didn’t like Shane in the first place.
Now, Shane even dared to kidnap his child!
Horace used all his connections to search for Neo and Shane while he went to Clara. He knew that Clara must be very sad now. She needed him.
Clara was calling over and over again. Not long after, she saw Horace rushing in. Horace took Clara in his arms and gently comforted her.
“Don’t worry, Neo will be fine. He’ll be fine.”
While Clara and Horace were worried, Neo was chatting with Shane in the taxi.
“Sir, where are we going?” Shane said they were going to Clara, but it was not the way to Clara’s company?
“Your mother is at your grandma’s place. We’re going there now.” Shane smiled and explained to Neo.
Neo looked out at the road outside, it was indeed the way to the amusement park. Neo came to the nursing home once. He remembered the route. Laura asked Shane to take Neo to Helena’s place first.
Shane made it. Not knowing why, he felt a bit guilty at the moment.
But on second thought, he told himself that it was too late to regret.
Clara’s phone was about to die. She got the charger from her desk and charged her phone in the coffee room.
Although her son went missing, she didn’t want to disturb others in the office because of her private affairs.
She didn’t want to make any fuss.
Horace followed Clara the whole time, worried that something would happen.
Neo and Shane were almost at the nursing home.
The two men talked about something else in the car and soon arrived.
Shane felt that Neo was much more mature than his peers.
Yet he was still kidnapped.
“Quick, get in.”
Laura stood in the doorway, looking at Neo, feeling very uncomfortable.
And the moment Neo saw Laura, he felt hostility.
He looked up at Laura, feeling familiar. Yet he couldn’t remember where he had met her.
Just when Neo wanted to ask, he was taken in by Shane.
“Madam.” Shane greeted Helena, whom he had met for the first time, and then looked at Laura.
“Well, are you sure you want to do that?” Helena looked at Neo and remembered the scene when Clara and Neo were chatting with her.
Now there was no room for regret, so she could only ask them if they were sure about this.
“It’s too late to regret it,” Laura persuaded Helena.
“Neo, don’t blame us. Your mother is too bitchy!” Laura tugged at Neo’s collar and looked at him viciously.
Laura didn’t want to call Neo by his full name, because in her heart, neither Neo nor Clara belonged to the Kirkland family.
Seeing that Neo’s feet were about to leave the ground, Laura reluctantly put him down.
Neo knew that he was in danger.
He was thinking about how to save himself since his parents weren’t around. But when he heard Laura speak ill of Clara, he suddenly got angry.
“My mother is bitchy? Then how about you? You tried to steal my mother’s husband but you failed, so now you kidnapped me. You are so lame!”
When Laura called Helena Mom, Neo remembered who she was.
He saw Laura on the security camera recording at the hospital when she went missing.
Although it wasn’t very clear, the scene appeared in Neo’s mind.
That was why he felt familiar when he saw Laura just now.
“Snap!” Laura slapped Neo without saying anything, planting a big red mark on Neo’s small face.
It hurt badly, but Neo didn’t say a word. It was a matter of dignity.
Helena’s heart trembled when Laura hit Neo. She didn’t expect Laura, who had always been gentle in front of her, could be so violent.
“Laura, stop!” Shane couldn’t stand it. Even an adult couldn’t take such a slap.
Let alone an eight-year-old boy.
“Get out if you can’t stand it.” Laura looked at Shane coldly. Shane was useless to her now. She didn’t need to be nice to him anymore.
Shane persuaded Laura with nice words, thinking that Laura was just being angry.
