A Miracle Fault

Chapter 59 Mrs. Stefan Is Missing

"Who are you?…Hmm." Emmeline took a step backwards. Before she could shout out, her mouth was covered with a cloth from behind by two men, and she was dragged into the bushes next to her.

Everything turned black before Emmeline's eyes as the two men quickly carried Emmeline into a van next to them. In the absence of anyone's attention, the van disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The sky was getting dark. Paul had already prepared dinner, but Emmeline still hadn't come back. He knew that Emmeline had been studying hard these days, but she would usually be home around this time.

He dialled Emmeline's phone number at once, but it was powered off. Then he immediately drove to the B University and found that there were no more students left on the campus. He walked up to the gatekeeper, explained his identity, and asked if there were any students inside.

The gatekeeper shook his head and said, "School's out at six every day, and no students have been attending evening classes these days."

Paul remembered that Emmeline had two close friends, so he immediately contacted the principal to find out Agnes's and Lena's phone numbers.

Then Paul called them, and when he learned that Emmeline was not with them, he had become anxious.

Where did Mrs. Stefan go?

He drove back to the Sweedal Residence and was about to call Stefan, but just then he saw Antonio's car slowly pull up in front of the villa.

Paul didn't care about anything else, and immediately went up to Antonio as soon as he saw him, "Master Antonio, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to find Emmeline, is she home?" Antonio walked out of the car, hands in his pants pockets.

"No, I don't know where Mrs. Stefan has gone; she hasn't come home until now. I've looked for her at the houses of some of her classmates, but she hasn't gone to them." Paul's heart burned with anxiety.

If he lost Mrs. Stefan, he would only end up dead when Master Stefan returned as the only reason Mrs. Stefan left him in X City was to take care of Mrs. Stefan.

Antonio was stunned at Paul's words, "Does she come back at this time every day?"

"Yes, she usually comes home at this time," Paul said truthfully.

Antonio immediately jumped into his car, "Let's go, I'll go with you to look for her, she wouldn't get lost, would she?"

Paul replied affirmatively, "That's impossible. Mrs. Stefan comes back alone every day."

"Where's Stefan?" Antonio also got anxious, and wondered why he hadn't seen Stefan. Emmeline hadn't come home, yet he acted as if nothing had happened and just asked a servant to look for her!

"Master Stefan has been in France for several days. I haven't had a chance to call him yet." Paul took out his phone and was about to call Stefan, but was stopped by Antonio.

"What's the point of you calling him now! Hurry up, get in the car and let's go find Emmeline."

Paul felt that Antonio's words made sense, a slow remedy indeed couldn't address the current emergency. So he put away his phone and got into Antonio's car.

But in the car, he couldn't help but send a message to Stefan: Mrs. Stefan is missing!

The car made several round trips along the way from the university to Sweedal Residence, but there was no sign of Emmeline, so Antonio immediately went to the Campbells.

Paul was on tenterhooks, why hadn't he thought that Mrs. Stefan might have returned to her parents' home?

Knocking on the door of the Campbell Mansion, the maid looked at Antonio and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Did Emmeline go home?"

"Do you mean Miss Emmeline? She hasn't been back since she married into the Byrne family." The maid glanced toward the living room after she finished her words.

"Who is he?" Lucia asked from the living room.

"He's here to see Miss Emmaline." When the maid finished speaking, Antonio saw that the gazes of everyone in the living room fell on him.

Antonio greeted Lucia and Nicolas with a nod. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Emmeline didn't go home after school and now I don't know where she is. Is she back here?"

Nicolas shook his head, "Emmeline hasn't come back since she married into the Byrne family, so it's impossible for her to come home."

Antonio looked at these people and a surge of anger suddenly rose up in his heart.

He thought, 'She would marry into the Byrne family because you guys forced her. You guys left her with no home to go back to.'

He glanced indifferently at the people in the living room, and only Anayah avoided his gaze, deliberately pretending not to see him.

Antonio laughed mockingly, Anayah, who was supposed to be Stefan's wife! It was this woman who forced Emmeline to marry Stefan!

He fixed his eyes on Anayah, then turned to leave.

Antonio didn't say anything while Paul was so anxious that he wanted to call Stefan again. Antonio looked at him and said, "Even if you call Stefan now, he's unlikely to return from France right away. It's better not to call him."

"But where exactly did Mrs. Stefan go?"

Antonio didn't give an answer, but directly drove to the Public Security Bureau. Paul was shocked and asked, "Master Antonio, you want to go to the police?"

"We can't go to the police because Emmeline hasn't been missing for 24 hours so far. I'm here to watch the security footage."

At Antonio's insistence, the traffic police began to check the CCTV of that road. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The surveillance showed that Emmeline was first blocked by Anayah, then at the corner of the road, two men covered her nose and dragged her away.

When Antonio saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded. Emmeline had been kidnapped!

When Paul saw Emmeline being kidnapped, his body began to tremble. He was screwed. He didn't protect Mrs. Stefan well enough.

Antonio immediately reported the case to the police, and the police of X City were dispatched overnight to investigate the van. It was soon discovered that the van was heading for the beach.

The van that kidnapped Emmeline disappeared when it arrived at the pier.

Antonio and the police immediately started the Thomas family's private speedboat to search in the direction where the criminals might have gone.

It was 10 o'clock late at night, and Antonio was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan as he stared straight ahead at the sea.

……

In the dimly lit cabin, Emmeline slowly regained consciousness, with darkness in front of her eyes and the sound of the waves in her ears.

Where was she? She tried to move her hands, but to her dismay, she found her feet and hands were tied.

It occurred to her that she bumped into Anayah after school, and then she was taken away by two men in a daze.

Was she being kidnapped?

In her life, she had never experienced anything like this and had only seen kidnappings on TV.

She suddenly began to be afraid, but soon she thought calmly that it was useless to be afraid as there was only her here.

There was a vague sound from outside, and she slowly approached the source of the sound, where the tin door was tightly closed.

She put her ear close to the tin door and heard someone talking outside.

"Olaf, what are we going to do with this woman? The boss told us to throw her into the sea, but I see this woman is pretty and her skin is tender, maybe she's still a virgin."

"What do you want? Don't spoil the boss's business, we can't afford the consequences." The other man's voice showed indifference.

"Let's just send her to England and hide her there. As long as she didn't appear in X City, the boss won't know about it. Look at her, just like a little white rabbit, I'm sure she won't be able to resist," The man said.

"When we get to England, you must keep a good eye on her. I'll listen to you this time, but if something goes wrong, you and I will both be in big trouble," The man named Olaf said in a cold voice.

"Don't worry, I'll keep her in line," The man said and then let out a disgustingly evil laugh from his throat.

And Emmeline realized that they didn't want her life for the time being, but wanted to send her to England.

She was relieved for the moment. As long as she was alive, she would find a way to escape, but who was their boss? Why did he kidnap her?
