Trapped in Love

Chapter 857 Taken 

“Fuck! Who could be behind this!” Alex snarled as he punched the sofa arm.

Caroline pondered the suspicious individuals who had visited the villa. Meanwhile, Kenny found himself engaged in the same contemplation.

Looking at Caroline with astonishment, Kenny exclaimed, “G, apart from a few of us, there’s your brother, Eira, and also Scott…”

A chill ran down Caroline’s spine.

Caroline thought, ‘It can’t be Neil, and Eira’s connection to Neil makes the possibility low. The only plausible suspect is Scott…‘

The crowd silently acknowledged the answer in their hearts.

Caroline struggled to compose herself. “How… could it possibly be Scott? He’s not the type of person who would do that. He doesn’t have a motive, right? We lack evidence…”

Evan retorted, “What’s the point of defending him now?”

Caroline, still in shock, couldn’t find her voice.

Kenny sighed. “G, you can find out by calling Scott now, right? If it’s Scott, he’s definitely not at the hospital.”

Caroline nodded, trembling, and reached for her phone.

Caroline was about to make the call when Evan stopped her. “Call his department. Do you have his department’s number?”

“I do! I saved it previously for emergencies. I’ll call!” Kenny volunteered.

He dialed Scott’s department, and the call was answered after a while.

Kenny put the call on speaker, holding his breath as he listened.

“Who is this?” Scott’s tired voice echoed.

Kenny and Caroline visibly relaxed.

“It’s me, Scott,” Kenny replied.

Scott sounded anxious as he asked, “Are you calling at this hour because you, Carol, or the children are unwell?”

“It’s G!” Kenny stated promptly.

Concerned, Scott inquired, “What’s going on with Carol?”

Kenny explained, “She’s dehydrated from food poisoning. I told her I’d call you to ask. She won’t let me call, worried you might be busy. So, I’m checking your department to see if you’re there. If not, it means you’re busy with work.”

Scott reassured, “I just finished something. Is Carol with you? Ask her what she had for food today.”

Caroline quickly interjected, “Scott, I’m here. Don’t worry, Kenny is exaggerating.”

Scott sighed in relief. “It’s good that you’re fine. You can find antidiarrheal medicine and oral rehydration salts among the medicines I brought you before. Remember to take some. If you still feel unwell, come to the hospital. I’ll be here.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Just as Scott finished, Evan’s phone rang.

Kenny swiftly added, “Alright, understood. Go ahead with your work!”

Scott agreed, “Alright.”

Evan answered his phone, and Reuben’s anxious voice conveyed disturbing news. “This is bad, sir! Mr. Casey… has been taken!”

Evan gripped his phone and said coldly, “When did that happen?”

“It occurred when Julian left to search for Daniella at Jordan Residence!” Reuben explained. “Two guards were rendered unconscious with chloroform, and two more were knocked out. Another held on and reported it to me!”

Evan seethed with rage. “It’s a distraction!”

Reuben asked urgently, “What should we do next, sir?”

Evan’s eyes narrowed. “Bring up all the surveillance footage around the villa right away!”

Reuben assured, “We’re looking into it now, sir!”
