Chapter 404 Wait for Me

Symeon chuckled, gently placing down his utensils, and raised his eyes to meet the flamboyant figure before him. “How do you want to cooperate with me?”

He couldn’t think of any use this person could have for him.

Seeing that Symeon took the bait, Crispin felt secretly delighted and excited, “I can help you to get the child. At the moment, I still have the privilege to see him. If you’re willing, that is.”

“What do you want in return?” Symeon didn’t understand why Crispin was so eager to help; it couldn’t be just for the sake of helping.

Crispin’s eyes lit up. “I’ve done some research online. The Lawrence Family has a strong influence. I just hope that you can arrange a small position for me in the Lawrence Family’s subsidiary in Cludan. I just want to make a living.

“Oh? The Allegra Group seems to be quite influential as well. As the son-in-law of the Allegra Family, why do you want to enter the Lawrences’ company?”

“Don’t mention it. My father-in-law doesn’t trust me at all, and he’s kept me out of the Allegra Group. So, I thought of finding another job. I wonder if you migh

Before Crispin could finish his sentence, Symeon interrupted him. This won’t be difficult. What matters is whether you can truly assist me. Spare the chatter. Bring the child to me, and your desires will be fulfilled. Now, leave. I want to eat.”

Symeon didn’t want to waste any words, nor did he want to look at him any longer.

He didn’t like people who used his child to climb the social ladder, and he even looked down on them. To be able to use even a child, they were shameless scoundrels.

Crispin was overjoyed to receive such a promise. He left with bows in a lowly matter.

All that remained was to bring the boy Aiden before Symeon, securing his entry into the Lawrence Family’s Cludan subsidiary.

This was something he had never dared to imagine before.

This was the esteemed Lawrence Family.

Being able to have a connection with the Lawrence Family meant a guaranteed comfortable life awaiting him in the latter half of his days.

After Crispin left, the bodyguard stood by and asked coldly, “My master, do you plan to trust Crispin and place him in an important position?”

Symeon picked up his wine glass, swirled it lightly, took a sip, and said, “What worth does he hold? Continue with your plans, and retrieve the child as soon as possible.”

“Yes.”

He didn’t believe in this kind of person and merely dismissed Crispin casually.

Besides, he didn’t believe that Crispin could take the child away from Elias.

In the evening.

Elias and Amanda returned to the estate with their child.

As soon as they arrived, Aiden immediately complained of being tired and wanted to sleep, so the nanny

took him to bed.

Amanda’s stomach growled with hunger, and she planned to eat something. Elias wanted to accompany

her.

But before they could enter the villa, Elias’ phone vibrated.

He answered the call, and Yacob’s voice came through the phone. “Mr. Winters, we found Melissa. She’s drinking at a bar, but it’s strange. She’s talking to a few men about something, and I feel that something is not right. So, I caught those men, and they all confessed.

“What’s going on?” Elias asked, his face tense.

“It turns out that those men kidnapped the child of Professor Turold, who conducted the DNA test for you this time.”

Kidnapped?

Elias suddenly realized. “So, the DNA test result I received earlier could also be the result of these people’s kidnapping?”

“That’s right. These men also kidnapped the granddaughter of Dr. Lenard before, which led to the test result showing that you are not related. The mastermind behind all this is that woman named Melissa. We are currently trying to arrest her.”

D*mn it!

“Wait! I’m coming right away!”

After hanging up, Elias muttered angrily. This woman has gone too far. How dare she play me like this!”

“What’s going on? What did that call mean? Did someone tamper with the DNA test?” Amanda didn’t hear clearly, but she grasped the general idea.

Elias expression was serious. “Yes, someone has been misleading us. I need to go out for a while. You don’t have to wait for me. Go to bed early.”

“Please be careful.”

“I know.” Elias embraced her delicate body and kissed her forehead.

Yet, no one could predict the events Elias would face on this trip.

However, Amanda felt a somewhat inexplicable anxiety. The man loosened his grip on her, intending to turn and leave. She instinctively hugged his tall figure and said, “You must be careful. Now you have me and our baby, so please take good care of yourself, alright?”

Elias chuckled softly, pinching her cheek to lighten the mood, teasing her, “I believe you truly love me

now.”

“We’re in this situation, and you still have the leisure to say such things.”

Amanda pushed Elias away angrily, but he pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and firmly captured her lips in a passionate and lingering kiss.

After the kiss ended, Amanda’s face turned crimson, and she shyly leaned against Elias’ chest.

Amanda pushed Elias’ body away in anger, but there was a sweet smile on her lips.

“Wait for me to come back. Go and eat now; be a good girl”

“Okay.”

Elias turned, got into the car, and left.

Amanda stood in place and watched the car leave until it disappeared from her sight. Then, she reluctantly turned and walked toward the villa.

The butler asked, “Mrs. Winters, what would you like to eat?”

“Just something simple. It doesn’t matter. I can’t eat much alone anyway.”

After Elias got into the car, his gentle demeanor vanished. Now, he only wanted to catch Melissa and find out the purpose behind her actions.

He arrived at the location where Yacob was.

Several men were crouching on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up at Yacob.

Elias got out of the car and walked over. Yacob said, “Mr. Winters, these are the men.”

“Did you guys kidnap Professor Turold’s child?” He asked in a low voice.

One of the men, the leader, trembled and raised his head. His head was bloody, indicating that Yacob had taught him quite the lesson.

“It was that woman who told us to do it. We were just doing it for the money. We never harmed those children. We only kept them for a few days and then returned them. They were treated well, with good food and drinks. We never hurt those children, absolutely not!” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elias looked at Yacob and asked, “How many children have they kidnapped?”

“I just interrogated them. They kidnapped the children of the two professors who conducted the DNA test for us. I just had someone release Professor Turold’s child. The child of the doctor who conducted the DNA test for Symeon in Cludan was also kidnapped. The purpose was the same, to make the DNA test results prove that Symeon is the father of the child,” Yacob answered truthfully.
