Chapter 485
Liam and Leia exchanged looks. They thought that Renee was still sleeping soundly, so they decidedto take the call for her. But before they could reach for her phone, Renee suddenly got up without anoise and calmly answered the phone.
“Hello, Officer. Yes, I’m Renee Everheart. Aiden Everheart is my son. Is there any news of hiswhereabouts?”
The conversation went on for a little longer, then she finally nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll be there rightaway.”
Renee’s lovely face was calm and serene. There was not a trace of perturbations at all and sheshowed no emotion throughout the whole phone call. Instead, it was the twins who were excited andagitated to no end by the latest development.
“Was that the police, Renee?” Leia asked with gleaming eyes. “Have they finally found Adie?”
“The officer only told me that they’ve caught the person who kidnapped Adie,” Renee answered calmly.“As for the rest of the details, well have to go there to find out.”
After speaking, she then nonchalantly stretched her body and walked into her closet like nothingextraordinary happened and began to choose the clothes she was going to change into.
Her reactions were simply too calm and cool-headed that it made Leia and Liam even more worried.
Liam studied Renee with a severe expression and cautiously asked her,” Are you okay, Boss?”
Renee’s slender fingers were leafing through her numerous beautiful dresses, but she suddenlypaused when she heard Liam’s question.
“Don’t worry,” she shrugged and smiled. “I’m not as fragile as both of you think I am. I’m not turning tosleep to cope and I’m not in any kind of self- healing mode. I’m just exhausted and I needed some rest,plain and simple. Now that I’m well-rested, I feel as good as new.”
But this did not convince Leia at all. Still concerned, she walked up to Renee and put her arms aroundher shoulder. She was choked up and her eyes were reddening when she told Renee, “I know thismust be hard for you, Renee. There’s no denying that Stefan Hunt was a douchebag, but he was stillthe man you used to love with all your heart. I know for a fact that you can’t be completely indifferentafter he died trying to save you. You need to vent your emotions, Renee. You can cry, you can scream,you can even eat or drink if you like. Just let it all out. Don’t keep it all pent up inside, otherwise it’sgoing to explode one day and hurt you!”
“I won’t deny that I do feel sad, but I’m really not that sad at all. I just feel a little lost, that’s all.”novelbin
Renee let out a long sigh and turned her head towards Leia, assuring her,” Don’t worry about me. Iknow what I’m doing. It doesn’t matter whether that man is dead or alive. Well still keep on with our oldplan… I believe that soon enough, the Everheart family and the Osborne family will replace the Huntfamily in becoming the most powerful families out of the eight great families of Beach City!”
Leia wanted to say something more, but Liam gave her a look to stop her.
At the moment, anything they said would only fall on deaf ears. Ultimately, Renee just had to realize itherself.
After a little rest, the three of them then drove to the police station as fast as they could. As the parentof the missing child, Renee was called into the interrogation room alone by the officer handling thecase after having filled out some forms. Leia and Liam, on the other hand, were asked to stay outsidein the waiting room.
The officer handling the case was a man in his early thirties. After opening the door to the interrogationroom, he pointed at a chair where Renee was expected to sit before taking a seat across from her andthen beginning the questioning.
“Good morning, Ms. Everheart. Last night we received a call from your son, Aiden Everheart. Heinformed us that he was a victim of child trafficking and even provided the exact time the crime tookplace, the name and address of the trafficker, and the evidence of the trafficking taking place. Wewould like to know, has your son really gone missing?”
“Yes,” Renee nodded, “my son has indeed gone missing. My friends and family have been looking forhim everywhere, and because he had gone missing a few times before in the past, we decided it wasn’tyet time to report it to the police.
