Chapter 15 The Clue to the Kids’ Whereabouts

Vania was in high spirits on her way back to Haling Villa. Not only had she made Melanie lose face in public, but she had also received an invitation for a collaboration with Luke Corporation. However, what excited her most was that the men she had sent to find her child’s whereabouts reported to her that new progress had been made in their investigation, which was no doubt the biggest surprise of the day. My dear baby, please hang in there and wait for me!

There was a bit of an anticlimax, though. As soon as she reached the villa, she was confronted by a furious Melanie, who rushed over to her like a rabid dog and pointed at her, swearing, “You’ve got quite a nerve, huh? How dare you provide me with false information and make me a laughingstock in front of everyone?! Were you purposely making me look bad in front of Hanson? I’m telling you, Hanson and I already have kids. Don’t you dare come between us and steal everything away from me!”

Vania had already gotten sick of listening to such words, so she prepared to leave without bothering to waste her breath talking to the woman.

Melanie squinted. She growled, “Vania, what makes you think I’ll still give you the information about your child after all you’ve done?”

“Oh? Well, never mind if you’re not gonna give me the information.” Vania let out a sneer before turning to leave.

Startled, Melanie immediately blocked her path. “Who gave you the permission to leave? I’m not done talking yet!”

Vania retorted sarcastically, “Even if I listen to you, will you give me the real clue to my kid’s whereabouts?” This is how Melanie’s been keeping a tight rein on me. How can she possibly give me such an important piece of information so easily?

Melanie sneered. “Well, you’re pretty smart, but I am a generous person. As long as you tell me how to find Master Mia, I can write off everything you’ve done to me before and give you a clue about where your child is. What do you think?”

Master Mia? Vania’s eyes flickered. All of a sudden, she recalled having heard before that Luke Corporation had been seeking to work with Mia; it was just that Hanson had never been able to meet Mia in person, despite having repeatedly asked to meet her. Melanie is dreaming of winning Hanson’s heart through Master Mia. What makes her think she can meet the person whom not even Hanson is able to meet? She replied with a sneer, “It’s a nice deal indeed, only that I don’t believe you. Now get out of here!”

Melanie never expected such a response from Vania. Stupefied, she stood frozen in place for a while before catching up to Vania, saying, “Vania! You keep saying that you want to find your child. Now the clue to your child’s whereabouts is laid out before you, and you shrug it off? Let me tell you this: your child is now suffering in an impoverished little village; he’s probably suffering from hunger and abuse every single day. Say, if your kids learn about this in the future, do you think they’re gonna hate you for it?”

Vania froze at Melanie’s words. Indeed, the person she sent to look for her children had told her that one of her children might be in a remote and inaccessible mountain village, which was why it was hard to find clues to their whereabouts. If my children are really there, who knows how much they’ve suffered? Her eyes reddened all at once as she turned to look at the gloating Melanie. “How do I know whether the clue you give me is true or false? After all, it’s not the first time you’ve given me false information.”

Melanie replied, “If the information I give you is false, I don’t think you’ll let me meet Master Mia either. It’s just that you’d better not meddle in the affairs between her and me after I give you the real information.” Lastly, she didn’t forget to threaten Vania, saying, “Don’t forget that you still have a kid in my hands.”

Vania wasn’t intimidated by her threats, though. “You’d better keep your word, or I have a million ways to tear you away from Hanson.”

Despite Vania’s intimidating aura, Melanie held her head up haughtily. “Fine, it’s a deal. For fairness’ sake, let’s write down the information and exchange them,” she said while taking out the paper and pen she had prepared beforehand.

The two women quickly wrote down the information and exchanged them. As soon as Melanie left, Vania opened the note without delay. Then, seeing the words “Farville, Eastland” written on it, she immediately sent a text message to her men to have the clue’s veracity verified. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

At the false glimmer of dawn, Vania got a phone call from Leo. “Boss, the clue is real. We’ve got the precise location of Farville, Eastland, and our men are already on the way there.”

Vania instantly jumped out of bed. “I’ll be there right away!”
