Chapter 2876
Steven was beginning to get desperate when he saw Mr. and Mrs. Hughes leaving. He stood up and Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
sprinted in their direction, intending to catch them before they left. “There’s no need.” Gwen reached
out to stop him. “There’s no need to stop them.” With that, she whispered into her earpiece, “Have your
father’s men arrived yet?”
“They have,” said Nigel, letting out a sigh of relief. “Previously, none of us could seem to find Uncle
Sean’s exact location.
“The Hughes family had a magnetic interruption device installed in their dungeon, and none of the
people we’ve sent, including Uncle Lucas, could navigate their way-the compasses didn’t work.
“However, the moment that woman called, the butler immediately ran into the dungeon to check, and
by following him, we managed to find the place they kept Uncle Sean before this. I’m sure that we’ll
easily be able to find him by scouring around-they can’t have gone far.”
Nigel could not help adding, “You’re far smarter than I thought, Aunt Gwen!
“I thought that you had blurted out the truth when you tried to stop Mrs. Hughes, but I never knew you’d
have done it on purpose to raise her suspicions and make her give away Uncle Sean’s location herself!
“I seem to have underestimated you! You’re far smarter than I initially thought!”
Gwen could not help chuckling when she heard this. “Neither Luna nor Joshua are very good with their
words, so how could they possibly have given birth to such a sweet-talker like you?”
She could not help sighing as she added, “Your father was the one who taught me this trick.”
Joshua had reminded her before coming that Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were naturally very suspicious
people. Since they had committed plenty of crimes during their time, it would be easy to turn their
doubts on themselves and make them give away their own plans.
Therefore, he advised her to feed them some information that would easily manipulate them into giving
themselves away.
Initially, Gwen did not believe this would work. How could someone be so suspicious to this extent?
However, when she finally came face-to-face with Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, she could not help feeling
even more respectful of Joshua’s quick wit and intelligence.
It was no wonder this man could work through all the misunderstandings between him and Luna and
get back together with her.
This man was far more intelligent and thoughtful than anyone she had ever met.
“You have to give yourself credit, Aunt Gwen.” Nigel smiled. “There’s no need to credit my Daddy for
everything-he’s already smug enough!”
After that, he continued to update Gwen on the search mission’s progress.
When she heard that the men had successfully tracked down Sean’s location, she finally let out a sigh
of
relief as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulder, but…
Just as she was about to share the good news with Steven, his phone rang.
It was Denise.
He could hear the sound of the cold, harsh wind interspersed with a man’s screams from the other end
of the line.
“Steven.” Denise’s voice was scratchy and hoarse as though she had been crying. “I’m so lucky to
have been your sister and to have met Sean in the last few moments of my miserable life.
“If
you ever come across Sean again, please tell him to live his life the way he deserves to. Goodbye.”
