Chapter 714 Lock Her Up
Missha’s cold gaze gradually softened, as if she was looking at another person through her.
“Miss Jenkins, how should we deal with her?”
“Lock her up. Don’t let her out without my order.” As soon as Missha gave the order, the man took Everleigh away.
This time, she was not locked up in the room but in the basement.
Alastair and Adrienne were woken up in a daze and brought down to the basement as well.
Everleigh held the two children in her arms and stared at Missha quietly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. As long as I get my jewelry, you will understand what’s going on,” Missha said this and left.
Adrienne frowned and looked at the door. This was not a basement. It was clearly a jail cell.
“Mommy, what’s going on with Grand-Aunt? Why did she lock us up?” Adrienne looked at Everleigh, confused.
Everleigh did not answer her because she did not know how to. She was now very sure that Missha was the one who killed her parents.
However, she did not ask Missha. It was not because she did not want to say it, but she did not dare to do so. She was afraid that this would provoke Missha and her aunt would hurt the children in return.
“Adrienne, are you afraid?”
Adrienne shook her head. “Mommy, as long as I am with you, I’m not afraid.”
Everleigh did not know what to do. All she could do was hug her children tighter.
It was as if they were encouraging her.
Missha looked at the surrounding environment and a complicated emotion appeared on her face.
“Miss Jenkins, what are we going to do now?”
“Let’s drive back. Bring them some food in the evening.” Missha did not intend to hurt them. The only problem was that she had not gotten her hands on what she wanted from the beginning.
“Sure.”
Missha and the others left the holiday villa. When Saniogo and Alexander arrived, they were nowhere to be found.
“Have they left?” Theodore asked in a deep voice.
“I’ll go to the intersection to have a look at the surveillance footage,” Alexander said quickly. He was worried that something bad had happened.
Theodore looked around, but there was no sign of a fight. Adrienne’s favorite ice cream was still on the table, but it had already melted.
He was anxious. Something must have happened. Adrienne loved her ice cream. Thus, it was impossible for her to leave it like that.
“Let’s go out and see what’s going on.”
“Okay,” Theodore pretended to be cool-headed as he spoke. Then, Saniogo called Missha.
“Where are you?”
“We are back. I’ve sent Everleigh back home. I’m almost home now,” Missha replied.
Upon hearing her words, Saniogo’s expression froze for a moment. “When did you come back?”
“It has been hours. Adrienne had too much ice cream and her stomach was aching so Everleigh decided to come back,” Missha explained.
Saniogo glanced at Theodore and did not say a word.
At this moment, Theodore called Leon to check whether Everleigh was home.
“No, I’ve been home all day. I didn’t see her. What happened?” Leon sat on the sofa and asked seriously.
Theodore’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Saniogo and shook his head, indicating that Everleigh had not returned yet.
Saniogo hung up the phone directly.
“Go back and check the surveillance footage. See if they are really home. If not, think of a way.”
Theodore nodded. He got out of the car and took a cab back to the Trevino family home.
Leon was alone at home. He called Everleigh anxiously, but no one answered.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Theodore hurried over. “Leon, show me the surveillance at the door.”
“Alright.”
Leon realized that things were serious, thus he quickly checked the surveillance. Missha did get out of the car and carried both Alastair and Adrienne. It looked normal. However, they could not see Alastair’s, Adrienne’s, and Everleigh’s faces clearly.
Theodore paused the surveillance footage and observed ‘Everleigh’ carefully. He noticed that there was no mole on her neck. Although that mole was tiny, he could still tell.
“This isn’t Everleigh.” Theodore was thunderstruck. That meant that Everleigh did not come home at all.
Missha was lying.
“Theodore, what happened to Everleigh?” Leon hurriedly asked.
Theodore did not reply. He turned around and was about to leave, but after a few steps, he said, “Don’t tell the people of the Trevino family. We don’t want them to worry.”
“I won’t say anything.” Leon was not a fool. If Selena found out, she would be devastated.
When Theodore arrived at the Jenkins family house, Missha was not in the living room. Saniogo quickly asked, “How was it?”
“Someone did go home, but it was not Everleigh. They were trying to look like Everleigh, Alastair and Adrienne.”
“That is to say, they are missing now, aren’t they?” Alexander said with a shocked face.
Theodore did not want to admit it, but that was the case.
“Where is Missha?”
“She went out. She was just about to leave when we came back.” Saniogo did not want her to notice how worried he was, thus he did not ask and let her go.
Theodore’s mind was in a state of chaos. He had no idea where Everleigh was and if she was in danger.
What should he do now?
“Dad, could it be that Everleigh is still on the mountain? Shall we go and have a look?” Alexander suggested.
“It’s possible. Go take a look first. I’ll be there too.” Theodore was trying to find a way to lure Missha out so that he could find out Everleigh’s exact location.
The two of them split up.
Theodore knew that he did not have much time. Missha must have noticed something, thus he had to take action as soon as possible.
“Moses, release the news that the jewelry Wilson previously took are in my hands and in the warehouse by the sea.”
After hearing this, Moses went straight to work.
About an hour later, Missha heard the news and immediately sent her men to find it.
She thought that it was right to capture Everleigh. Now, Theodore would slip up and she had a chance.
In the warehouse by the sea, Theodore stood at the entrance, waiting for the arrival of those people.
Sure enough, in the dark and windy night, the people around the area were already resting. Three sneaky figures appeared at the entrance of the warehouse.
The three of them snuck into the warehouse and rummaged through it. They found a big bag in the warehouse which was filled with jewelry.
“Boss, we’ve found it.”
“Let’s go.” The leader was happy as well.
They could finally complete the task.
The moment they pushed open the door, the smiles on their faces disappeared in an instant. What came next was fear.
Theodore was standing in the middle, wearing a black suit. His cold gaze was like a sharp blade stabbing into their bodies.
“Capture them,” he commanded. The people behind him rushed forward and began punching and kicking the three men. They were beaten to a pulp and began begging for mercy, kneeling on the ground.
