Liam and Leia exchanged looks. They thought that Renee was still sleeping soundly, so they decided


    to take the call for her. But before they could reach for her phone, Renee suddenly got up without a


    noise and calmly answered the phone.


    “Hello, Officer. Yes, I’m Renee Everheart. Aiden Everheart is my son. Is there any news of his


    whereabouts?”


    The conversation went on for a little longer, then she finally nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll be there right


    away.”


    Renee’s lovely face was calm and serene. There was not a trace of perturbations at all and she


    showed no emotion throughout the whole phone call. Instead, it was the twins who were excited and


    agitated to no end by thetest development.


    “Was that the police, Renee?” Leia asked with gleaming eyes. “Have they finally found Adie?”


    “The officer only told me that they’ve caught the person who kidnapped Adie,” Renee answered calmly.


    “As for the rest of the details, well have to go there to find out.”


    After speaking, she then nonchntly stretched her body and walked into her closet like nothing


    extraordinary happened and began to choose the clothes she was going to change into.


    Her reactions were simply too calm and cool-headed that it made Leia and Liam even more worried.


    Liam studied Renee with a severe expression and cautiously asked her,” Are you okay, Boss?”


    Renee’s slender fingers were leafing through her numerous beautiful dresses, but she suddenly


    paused when she heard Liam’s question.


    “Don’t worry,” she shrugged and smiled. “I’m not as fragile as both of you think I am. I’m not turning to


    sleep to cope and I’m not in any kind of self- healing mode. I’m just exhausted and I needed some rest,


    in and simple. Now that I’m well-rested, I feel as good as new.”


    But this did not convince Leia at all. Still concerned, she walked up to Renee and put her arms around


    her shoulder. She was choked up and her eyes were reddening when she told Renee, “I know this


    must be hard for you, Renee. There’s no denying that Stefan Hunt was a douchebag, but he was still


    the man you used to love with all your heart. I know for a fact that you can’t bepletely indifferent


    after he died trying to save you. You need to vent your emotions, Renee. You can cry, you can scream,


    you can even eat or drink if you like. Just let it all out. Don’t keep it all pent up inside, otherwise it’s


    going to explode one day and hurt you!”


    “I won’t deny that I do feel sad, but I’m really not that sad at all. I just feel a little lost, that’s all.”


    Renee let out a long sigh and turned her head towards Leia, assuring her,” Don’t worry about me. I


    know what I’m doing. It doesn’t matter whether that man is dead or alive. Well still keep on with our old


    n… I believe that soon enough, the Everheart family and the Osborne family will rece the Hunt


    family in bing the most powerful families out of the eight great families of Beach City!”


    Leia wanted to say something more, but Liam gave her a look to stop her.


    At the moment, anything they said would only fall on deaf ears. Ultimately, Renee just had to realize it


    herself.


    After a little rest, the three of them then drove to the police station as fast as they could. As the parent


    of the missing child, Renee was called into the interrogation room alone by the officer handling the


    case after having filled out some forms. Leia and Liam, on the other hand, were asked to stay outside


    in the waiting room.


    The officer handling the case was a man in his early thirties. After opening the door to the interrogation


    room, he pointed at a chair where Renee was expected to sit before taking a seat across from her and


    then beginning the questioning.


    “Good morning, Ms. Everheart. Last night we received a call from your son, Aiden Everheart. He


    informed us that he was a victim of child trafficking and even provided the exact time the crime took


    ce, the name and address of the trafficker, and the evidence of the trafficking taking ce. We


    would like to know, has your son really gone missing?”


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    “Yes,” Renee nodded, “my son has indeed gone missing. My friends and family have been looking for


    him everywhere, and because he had gone missing a few times before in the past, we decided it wasn’t


    yet time to report it to the police.
