Mr. Thomas voraciously devoured the last morsels of the tasting tray. Yet, in the end, he didn’t even know what he had eaten.After finishing his meal, he praised with satisfaction. Then, two young girls thanked him and left.Julie, observing from above, couldn’t help but sigh. She knew her grandfather had a penchant for beautiful girls, but not to this extent. If her grandmother saw this, it would be disastrous.At this moment, Mr. Thomas, having just finished eating and wiping his mouth with the napkin provided by the girls, exclaimed that the napkin still carried the scent of those beautiful girls. Suddenly, he felt his stomach churning.“Gurgle, gurgle,” his stomach made extremely loud noises, as if the food he had just eaten was churning and demanding to exit.“Oh my, what’s happening? Could it be that the food I just had didn’t sit well with me? It shouldn’t be like this. Being invited to eat by beautiful girls...” Mr. Thomas felt a sharp pain in his stomach. If he couldn’t find
The burly man spoke and immediately swung his fist, aiming at the two men. They shut their eyes tightly, quickly pleading for mercy. Deep down, they felt that if they were hit, they might end up in the hospital for days. Seeing the muscular arm of the man, which was as big as the skinny man’s entire face, the two of them could only brace themselves for what was coming, tears welling up in their eyes.Just then, a calm voice suddenly sounded. “Hold on a moment.”The punch from the man was about to land on the faces of the two men when the voice saved them. The burly man halted his fist in mid-air.Now, all eyes were on the source of that voice.It was a middle-aged man, with silver-streaked hair and a refined demeanor. He wore a suit jacket, and his aura suggested he held an esteemed position in this place.“It’s all just a misunderstanding,” the newcomer said. Following him were some security guards. Two of them approached, freed Julie from the grasp of the others, and lifted her up.
Mr. Thomas rubbed his stomach, scanning the area for Julie. He thought she must be sitting somewhere patiently waiting for him after finishing playing. But at this moment, Mr. Thomas couldn’t spot Julie anywhere, even after looking around.A sense of unease crept into his heart. But for now, he simply thought that she might play somewhere and thought little about it.“Julie. Julie, where are you?”Mr. Thomas called out, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the surrounding noise. Feeling that calling out wasn’t effective, he went to the ticket counter to inquire.But the staff said that she had left a long time ago.Where could she have gone?Mr. Thomas quickly searched around the amusement park counters once again, then wandered through all the food stalls. But then he realized, why would Julie have money to come here?Could it be... she had been kidnapped!?Mr. Thomas felt anxious about that thought. But if she were lost, she would have cried loudly and attracted the attention of
“Unfortunately,” Manager Boise sighed, then placed a hand on Mr. Thomas’s shoulder, who seemed to be in a state of shock, his entire body as if sealed by a cold gust of wind, where even a slight touch could shatter him.“I understand your emotions right now. But unfortunately... Hiazzz, wait till forty-eight hours. I’ll help you report to the police, okay?”Forty-eight hours... Mr. Thomas burst into tears like a child.“Forty-eight hours. If Julie’s been kidnapped, then the poor girl would be dead or worse, a mere corpse. How can I wait? Is there any way to remedy this? Or is there any other place where camera data might be stored?”Mr. Boise sighed deeply. “I’m sorry, there isn’t. But don’t be so pessimistic; the situation isn’t hopeless. I understand your emotions...”“How could you understand? Oh, my granddaughter.”Unable to get help from these people, Mr. Thomas sobbed and ran out of the management office. He had to quickly inform Justin about this. Justin was so capable; he woul
The plane took off, and the scenery below gradually disappeared from sight. Baby Julie next to her enjoyed looking at the white clouds that seemed like she could touch them outside, her round eyes filled with joy. Katherine couldn't see, but could also feel the girl's excitement, nervously speaking:“Julie, go to sleep.”This will be a long flight.Little Julie obediently leaned on her shoulder, her eyes watching the quiet blue sky outside, and soon she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Feeling the weight of her little daughter, Katherine felt even heavier.The trip was rushed, the arrangements were hasty, somehow she was invited by the king of Mozzafiato to visit. She couldn't think of anything other than her own connection to her fiance Justin, but if that were the case, the letter inviting her and the people arranged to pick her up wouldn't have been stressful. straight like this.Katherine sensitively realized that these people had an incorrect attitude. They clearly did not consid
“How dare you say that with such certainty?”Katherine finally spoke up, stepping forward to address Monica.Hearing this, Monica’s expression turned slightly awkward.Clearly, this was a sensitive issue for her, but it seemed Katherine, despite sensing the sensitivity, still expected an answer from Monica.Sensing the tension, Justin intervened:“Well, being in the military, it’s not uncommon to know a thing or two about these matters.”“So... they’ve been setting me up from the beginning, haven’t they? To separate me from Julie.”Mr. Thomas couldn’t believe it.He had been played from the start, manipulated by those two girls.Now, thinking back, he wanted nothing more than to tear apart the innocent façade those two had portrayed.He slapped his own head in frustration, berating himself, “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so... greedy, Julie wouldn’t have been taken.”“What are you talking about!?”Laura, as if catching onto something, lunged forward, grabbing her husband by the
“Justin...”Monica gently touched his shoulder as she noticed him, deep in thought. Justin snapped out of his reverie and said, “They must have just left or are still at the airport. Monica, help me check the airports in the city to see if there are any flights with unusual numbers.”“Yes...”Monica replied, but before she could finish, Justin suddenly interjected, “No, let me go with you. This is urgent; we can’t delay any longer.”Justin tried to keep himself calm. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.Typically, he wouldn’t panic or lose control in a crisis, but now that his daughter was directly involved, it was difficult for him to remain composed.“This kid... leave his name and contact number. I’ll get in touch with him later.”“Okay.”One of Justin’s bodyguards approached, took the contact information from the boy, and escorted him home.As Justin turned to head towards his car, a hand grabbed him, accompanied by a stern voice.“Justin, what’s going on?”It was Katherine,
Justin’s actions, while normal to him, always left others breathless.Monica couldn’t count how many times she had witnessed such scenes.And now she sensed Justin was about to do something unsafe again.“It’s okay, trust me, at this moment, remember that I’m your lord.”Having said that, without waiting for Monica to respond or say anything else, he directly climbed up and successfully sat in the driver’s seat.The driver, seeing him like this, was a bit startled and asked, “My Lord, what are you doing?”“Move to the back seat. Let me take the wheel.”At that moment, the cars in front moved at a faster pace. The road cleared up, and there was space.The cars behind honked impatiently, prompting their driver to speed up at a steady pace.Now on the highway, Justin couldn’t stop to switch seats. Moreover, it would take time.So it was best to change seats while the car was still moving. A dual-purpose action, just like that.“Hurry up!” Justin urged.“Yes, sir.”Justin reached confiden
