FULL NOVELXO Chapter 234 I Have Already Seen Through You
Pearl did not intend to tell such shocking news to Jane, but Robert had a different opinion.
Jane was more than capable of dealing with such a thing.
The Duncan Group was trapping in the turmoil, which led to the cliff-like drop of the share price. Jane remained calm all the time and solved the problem step by step.
"Jane is extraordinary. When William is not available, I prefer to discuss everything with her."
Robert looked at Pearl. "There was no need to hide the news. We made the promise."
"But Janie is pregnant. What if the constant shocks affect her?"
Pearl hesitated. Robert was reasonable, but she was more worried about Jane.
She had not been a mother, but women were more able to understand each other.
Dealing with period was annoying enough, not to say conceiving a baby.
Men had no chance to go through such experiences, so they could never fully understand.
"I know. I understand your concern. After all, I am a doctor. However, back then, we agreed to act together. Now, the situation is even more serious than we estimated."
There was a complete industrial chain behind the Underground Network. We two could hardly deal with it.
Even the police needed to cooperate with Interpol to deal with such a case.
The two of them failed to convince the other and couldn't make the decision.
Jane was at home. She had been pregnant for a few months, and logically, should not have morning sickness. However, the smell of fish disgusted her somehow, then she rushed to the bathroom and vomited. It was severe enough to deprive all her appetite.
She could only follow Lainey's instructions and lay on the bed, drifting off.
The Internet was overwhelmed by unpleasing news. Jane did not want to read any comments. Then, she fell asleep.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lainey knocked on the door. She seemed to be anxious.
"Lainey, what's wrong?" Jane asked.
Jane felt a little better. She rubbed her chest and sat on the bed.
Lainey's face was pale, and her forehead sweltering, which made Jane nervous.
"Madam..."
Mouth trembling, Lainey was unable to utter a complete sentence.
At this time, Pearl and Robert also rushed to the Green's for discussion.
"Lainey, what's wrong?"
Pearl looked at Lainey in surprise, telling her not to be afraid. No matter what happened, it had happened. The only thing they needed to do was to solve it.
It was useless to cry or to be afraid.
"Madam, Mr. Duncan is missing!"
With Pearl's comforting, Lainey finally let out a sigh of relief and said with a trembling voice.
"Missing?"
Jane felt suffocated for a second and then the heartache. How could Dayton disappear?
Yesterday, Lily called. The kindergarten was holding a farewell ceremony. Dayton was no longer going to the kindergarten, but he had to say goodbye to his friends.
So in the morning, Lainey prepared cake and snacks. She asked the driver, Vance, to take Dayton to kindergarten and pick him up in the afternoon.
When it was time off school, Vance arrived on time, but Lily said someone had picked Dayton up.
"Picked up?"
Dayton was smart and alert. A stranger could not make it. He must be picked up by someone he knew. Who was it?
Apart from the driver, Frederic could also drive Dayton home. Could it be that Frederic had picked him up? Could it be that there was news from William? All those questions disturbed Jane too much.
"Lily said that it was a middle-aged woman with a boy. The woman was in good figure, and the boy seemed familiar to Dayton. He called him Bobby." Because they were friends, Dayton happily left with them, so Lily didn't doubt it.
"Bobby? Melany's son."
Jane immediately called Melany but was not connected.
"The leukemia boy?"
Robert had some impression, so he called the hospital for information.
Bobby's treatment and other expenses were all paid by Jane. Could they repay kindness with ingratitude?
Jane had got too much in her mind, so she didn't answer Robert.
The hospital soon replied. Bobby was discharged in the morning and no one knew where he went.
"Could she have taken Mr. Duncan somewhere to play?"
Lainey was at a loss. Melany had received a favor from Jane, so she should not have kidnapped Dayton. "Lainey, call the police."
Jane thought for a little while and made the decision.
She had picked her son without notice, and now she could not find Dayton. Therefore, Melany was on suspicion of kidnapping. "Bobby left the hospital this morning. Melany will not leave without a word. There must be a reason for her failure to inform me."
Sending a message would not waste any time.
Something was not right.
It was not time for Bobby to leave the hospital.
Something must have happened, and Melany had no choice but to be the human trafficker.
But the reason was not important. Melany's deed was unforgivable.
"Janie, you are right."
Kindness was the most useless thing to some unscrupulous people. They would choose after weighing the pros and cons when they faced a threat. Perhaps, it was human instinct to avoid harm.
Pearl couldn't help but sigh. What was going on? Troubles came one after the other. If she were Jane, she would have been too upset to recover.
"I guess that Dayton is not in danger for the time being. Maybe the person behind wants my son to threaten me."
Jane sneered. She was tough, and she would be tougher meeting something hard. Troubles would activate some inert qualities which would make her stronger.
No one would know the winner was until the last moment.
Robert nodded. That was William's wife.
He and Pearl looked at each other and told Jane about Ada's information.
The three of them sat together and looked up the news about the tourist's disappearance. The pictures of the woman were exactly the ones in the video.
But the Underground Network could be dealt with later, Dayton was more urgent.
Lainey was about to call the police when Jane stopped her. She changed her mind.
It was useless to call the police at this time and might inflame the situation.
The kidnappers must have a purpose. They would contact her.
"Don't worry. I'm fine."
Jane needed to be calm.
Jane was indeed very angry about Dayton's missing. But now she was settled down. According to Melany's personality, if someone threatened her with Bobby, she could probably try to perish together with the criminals.
Therefore, Dayton was not in danger.
What was the purpose of the wire-puller?
Considering thoroughly, Jane decided to wait for the call.
At this moment, Dayton had been sent to somewhere in the suburbs with his eyes covered. The area was covered with barbed wire and guardians.
"Who are you? Why do you want me?"
Today's off-school time was a little early. Dayton saw Bobby who said that his mother wanted to celebrate his discharge from the hospital and invited him to eat together.
Dayton did not doubt him and got in their car.
Someone covered his eyes and told him it was hide-and-seek.
Dayton finally noticed something was wrong, when he got off the car: his mother was not there.
How stupid he could be!
Mommy had told him that he was not allowed to go with strangers. But Aunt Melany and Bobby were not strangers.
Did someone use him to threaten Mommy?
Dayton felt very scared. He was too stupid. What if Mommy came to him and was also taken away?
"Of course it's useful."
William deliberately lowered his voice to scare his son.
He just arrived in City J last night. He did not return to the company in the morning but came to the secret base.
He could not show publicly, but he missed Jane.
"How can I meet her?" William thought about it and could only come up with such an awful plan. He asked Melany, who was easy to neglect to help him kidnap his son, Dayton.
"You grabbed me to threaten my mommy!"
Dayton forcefully held back his tears. It must be like this!
William raised his eyebrows. His son was very smart. He had found out the truth. Indeed. Only then would he be able to see his wife. It was the only way that Jane could take the bait. "Why not your father?"
William asked in a good mood, but he comforted himself that his son would inherit the Duncan's in the future. He should experience more hardships, one of which was kidnapping. After all, there were too many people with ill intentions.
He wouldn't be in a panic if he got trained early.
William found a good reason for his behavior. He did not feel guilty at all for his son.
"Daddy has gone missing. How can you threaten him?"
These kidnappers were so stupid and talkative.
Mommy once said that if kidnappers were talkative, it would be easy to find loopholes and find a way to escape.
However, it was too far from the city, and he did not have a car. It was so hard to escape.
Dayton frowned with a sad face.
If he grew up a little, he would have long legs and run faster.
William's words failed him.
He had only been at home for a short period, so Jane had educated his son like this. However, it made sense.
As William approached him, Dayton sniffed. Finally, he asked doubtfully, "Daddy?"
William's words failed him once more.
His son was blindfolded. How could he recognize him? It seemed not to be a bluffing.
"Daddy, is it you? Are you playing hide and seek with me?"
Dayton smelled the mint, and daddy liked such tobacco.
Moreover, the kidnapper deliberately spoke with a hoarse voice which might be a disguise.
A third time.
William took off Dayton's eyeshade and looked at him thoughtfully.
"Daddy, call Mommy and find someone else to be the kidnapper. Otherwise, Mommy will find out easily."
Dayton shook his head and immediately relaxed when he saw his daddy.
Daddy disappeared and reappeared all of a sudden. He must have wanted a surprise for Mommy. He must want to trick mommy here first.
Dayton looked at William with an "I have seen through you" expression.
"Why do we have to change to someone else?"
William did not understand Dayton's words. It would be the same if someone else made a threatening call.
"Because Mommy is smarter than me. I can see through you..."
After Dayton finished speaking, he looked at his daddy with disdain.
William was speechless. His son looked down on him and said he was stupid.00000
