Adrian Grant was worried that something might happen to the child, so he told Madam Cole and Ms. Ford to quickly chase after them. Thinking it was impossible for Raina Lowell to be in trouble, and fearing that Caleb Landon’s people weren’t enough, he arranged for more people to continue searching. To see where she could hide with a child. Today is Wednesday, Adrian Grant couldn’t think of anything else and went to the company alone. At noon, Caleb Landon arrived. He brought Raina Lowell’s cell phone. Entering the office, his face was full of pain, and he presented the phone to Adrian Grant with both hands. Adrian Grant looked at it but didn’t take it immediately, somehow his heart was in his throat. "Why are you back? Have you found her?" Caleb Landon shook his head, unable to speak a word of discomfort, placed the phone on the desk, and played a recorded phone conversation stored inside. Adrian Grant watched, and the next second, the conversation between Raina Lowell and a stranger came through. "I can give you anything you want, but don’t hurt my daughter, she’s still so small." "I’m here, where’s my daughter?" "What do you want, give me back my daughter." "Stop, if you take one more step, I’ll throw your daughter down." "How is my daughter? What did you do to her?" "The child was too noisy, so we gave her sleeping pills." "Jump down from here and we’ll let your daughter go." "I really want to know who told you to do this, I have no enmity with you." "Blame it on yourself for offending someone you shouldn’t have, settle the score yourself after you’re dead!" Finally, only the sound of the phone dropping and some rustling noises were heard, and the conversation abruptly stopped. Adrian Grant was stunned there, unable to react for a long time. So Raina Lowell didn’t hide with her daughter. But really met with an accident? They encountered kidnappers, Raina Lowell went alone to save her daughter, but didn’t manage to save her and even lost her life? Raina Lowell is still so young, only a little over twenty. The child too, only two years old, knows nothing, so soft and cute. How could they, mother and daughter... Adrian Grant really couldn’t accept this fact, sitting there with his chest feeling blocked, unable to breathe. He stood up, feeling uncomfortable, supporting himself on the desk, took a long time to let his breath come smoothly. But he still couldn’t accept this cruel fact. He grabbed Caleb Landon, questioned: "Did Raina Lowell orchestrate all of this herself? She doesn’t have enemies, why would someone kidnap her child?" "Tell me it’s fake, right?" Caleb Landon couldn’t help but cry, head down, voice trembling while speaking. "It’s real, President, Madam and Aurora have already gone into the sea with that car." "The cliff is too high, the sea is too deep, the car can’t be retrieved, and Madam and Aurora are also..." Although no bodies were found, the police concluded they fell from the edge of the cliff, and the mother and daughter have no chance of surviving. Adrian Grant pushed Caleb Landon away, body shaking, speaking incoherently: "Their mother and daughter won’t be in trouble, I didn’t really want to be with Isabelle Everett, I just wanted to make her jealous." "I was just angry she hid having two children from me, I didn’t really want to divorce her." "She won’t leave me, she will definitely come back." Unwilling to believe what Caleb Landon said, Adrian Grant hurried out of the office to personally search the cliffside. Even if something really happened, there should at least be a body! Check latest chapters at novel•fire.net Without a body, he wouldn’t believe Raina Lowell was truly in trouble. Caleb Landon hurried to catch up with him. On the way, Adrian Grant kept holding Raina Lowell’s phone, repeatedly playing the recording inside. He had to reluctantly admit that Raina Lowell’s voice was filled with urgency, fear, worry, and sobbing. The kind of emotion fearing their daughter might meet an accident couldn’t be acted. And the time of the recording coincided with the time Raina Lowell called him. So she tried to seek his help when facing a predicament. Only he didn’t answer the call. Adrian Grant sat in the back seat, leaning against the seat back, looking up to calm his tense emotions. But he couldn’t control his restlessness, breathing quickly, even his eyes felt sandy. Bowing his head, pressing on his aching chest, Adrian Grant asked, "What did the police say?" While driving, Caleb Landon replied: "The phone recording confirmed, Madam and Aurora were premeditatedly murdered, the police have started an investigation." "Our people are also searching the sea for Madam and the child’s bodies." "Considering Madam’s identity should not be exposed, I asked the police to handle the matter secretly." Thinking of the adorable little girl who was only two, thinking of Madam being only 24, meeting such a fate. Caleb Landon couldn’t help but cry. Sitting in the back seat, Adrian Grant wasn’t feeling any better. Even though he couldn’t accept the facts. But reality was right in front of him, unable to see Raina Lowell, his heart was still in turmoil. Arriving at the cliffside, he rushed forward after getting out of the car. Right ahead was a hundred-meter cliff, below the cliff was the turbulent ocean. Not to mention if a person falls, even a kitten or puppy wouldn’t survive. Adrian Grant couldn’t imagine that just last night, Raina Lowell was here facing kidnappers, calling him for help, and the despair he brought her by not answering. He couldn’t accept the brutal truth that Raina Lowell and the child had fallen into the sea. His whole body softened, knees directly buckled to the ground. He bent down, supporting himself on the ground, despite trying hard to control his emotions, he couldn’t stop his eyes from tearing up. His heart was throbbing with pain. Caleb Landon came to support him, "President, we can only pray the police can quickly retrieve Madam and Aurora’s bodies." It’s already good enough to recover the bodies. After all, it’s the ocean, with sharks inside, if a person falls and there’s any scent of blood, the sharks would come following the scent. Cruelly, perhaps not even the bodies could be found. Adrian Grant still couldn’t face the fact of Raina Lowell and Aurora’s death. He steadied himself, trying to calm down, looking at Caleb Landon said: "Without finding bodies, it proves they are still alive." "Keep looking for me, no matter the cost, help me find them." Caleb Landon nodded in agreement. Adrian Grant staggered forward. Walking to the edge of the cliff, the sea breeze ruffled his neatly styled short hair, the waves crashed against the shore turbulently, just like hitting his chest, shattering his heart that was in unbearable pain. His bloodshot eyes were blurred by tears. Guilt and self-reproach filled his heart, as he prayed over and over: Raina, you’ll come back safely, won’t you? I will never bully you again. I will accept your two children. I can even help you raise them up, but don’t leave.
