Chapter 1200 Stanley Is Gone
Initially, Alex was on the verge of losing control. Something might even have happened between himand Jessica. However, that phone call was like a bucket of cold water that poured over him from headto toe, extinguishing the spark of desire within him.
The person who called him was Zachary. Stanley was learning martial arts with the latter recently, andsometimes, they were so busy that they did not return home at night.
All of that came so suddenly that if it weren’t for the fact that it was his father saying that, Alex wouldnot have believed it was true.
Stanley was not only accompanied by Zachary, a second-phase Grandmaster. Wanda was alsoguarding. him. With a second-phase Grandmaster and a half Grandmaster there, even if someone fromthe secret world came, they would not be able to kidnap Stanley without anyone noticing it.
“Could you have been mistaken, Dad? Stanley is playful, and he might just playing hide-and-seek withyou! How could he possibly be missing?” Alex could not bring himself to believe it and tried to comforthimself by saying that.
On the other end of the phone, Zachary replied anxiously, “I’ve gone to Sakura Club, the dojo at home,and even Skyworth Clinic, but I couldn’t find any sign of him. He really has gone missing.”
Having received a definite answer, Alex felt chilled to the core. Since his own father had said as much,it seemed that Stanley had really gone missing.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Jessica. His desire earlier had disappeared completely,leaving only immense worry for Stanley.
Taking off his coat, he draped it over her and said apologetically, “Stanley is missing. Take good care ofyourself, and don’t overthink things. You’re a good woman.”
After saying that, he left resolutely, leaving Jessica to stare blankly at his retreating figure. Tearsescaped her eyes.
She had noticed every subtle reaction of his just now, and she was so close. With just a step more, shecould have become his woman.
Upon returning to the Jefferson residence, Alex looked at the anxious Zachary and asked, “Whatexactly happened, Dad? Have you really searched everywhere? Did you miss any place Stanley likesto go?”
Zachary sighed in self-recrimination. “As usual, I taught him martial arts at the martial arts club. Therewas no one suspicious throughout it all. I only went to get a drink of water, and he suddenly wentmissing. At that time, I didn’t sense the presence of any other martial artists. Wanda was busy cookingand wasn’t around. He just vanished without a trace.”
Alex listened carefully, noting the lack of any other martial artists.
He didn’t sense the presence of any other martial artist. Could it be that Stanley left on his own? But ifthat’s the case. he would’ve informed his grandfather when he’s such a sensible child. What exactlyhappened here? Without any leads, searching for a child in this big city is tantamount to looking for aneedle in a haystack.
No matter how difficult it might be, he would never give up on searching for Stanley. After all, that washis
son.
As he was feeling helpless, Kate came over with Emmalyn in her arms. She gently patted the man onthe
arm and said, “Don’t worry, Alex. Stanley is blessed by the heavens, so he’ll surely be fine.”novelbin
“Hopefully!” Alex said solemnly. At the moment, he was restless, unable to sit still for even a minute.The absence of Stanley only indicated that the boy was still in danger.
Despite Kate’s words, she was inwardly overjoyed. She wanted nothing more than for Stanley to bekidnapped by some kidnapper.
It’d be even better if that brat were to throw a tantrum and end up killed in the process! At that time,Emmalyn will be Alex’s only child, and all his assets will belong to the Sutton family!
Left with no other choice, Alex took out his phone and called Flynn. The latter was the king of theunderworld forces in Nebula City, and his connections were incredibly vast. Hence, asking him to help.find a child would be a relatively simple task for him.
The ringing tone rang a few times before the call was answered.
“Where are you now, Flynn? I need your help with something. Please gather all your men and help findStanley. He has gone missing!” Alex said anxiously.
“Well… Um… Don’t worry, Alex. I’ve found Stanley, and I’ll bring him back right away,” Flynn saidsomewhat awkwardly.
