Chapter 579 Hand Him Over


    Elliot honestly hadn’t expected that Felix still hadn’t managed toe out from the artificial hill. He really isn’t the smartest tool in the shed, huh?


    Cecilia seemed puzzled as she asked, “How would we know where your son is?”


    With her son missing, coupled with the favoritism Niel showed at Rainsworth Manor during the St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Miranda’s resentment toward Cecilia had deepened.


    “My son came here after school today, and his ssmates mentioned that he never left. If I’m not supposed toe looking for you, then who?”


    Cecilia frowned. “I didn’t see him.”


    “You think just because you say you haven’t seen him that it’s the truth?”


    Miranda then turned to instruct her subordinates, “Search for him! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find him!”


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    Despite thete hour, this group of people began searching everywhere, even venturing into the upstairs bedroom.


    Cecilia clenched her hands tightly.


    “Miranda, you’re crossing a line! This is trespassing on private property.”


    Upon noticing that Nathaniel was absent, Miranda didn’t consider Cecilia a threat at all. She stepped forward confidently in her high heels. “So what if I’m crossing the line? You’re deaf, and Nathaniel is blind. What could you possibly do to me? Don’t assume that just because you’ve caught my husband before that you’re all that impressive. If my husband hadn’t been careless, how could Nathaniel have possibly done anything to him?”


    Adrian cleared his throat softly, then said to Cecilia, “Cecilia, release my son. If not, none of you will have it easy.”


    Cecilia was somewhat at a loss for words in the face of the two unreasonable individuals before her.


    She reached for her phone, ready to call the police.


    Adrian was quick to react, snatching her phone and promptly throwing it on the ground.


    “Hand over my son, now!”


    He was about toy a hand on Cecilia when the bodyguards stationed outside noticed themotion. They immediately rushed in, shielding Cecilia and Elliot from harm.


    Adrian felt a sudden wave of unease as he looked at these bodyguards.


    He had brought some people with him too, butpared to those under Nathaniel’smand. they were simply no match.


    Upon seeing the situation, Miranda knew they were no match for Cecilia and the bodyguards, so she called Niel.


    “Grandpa, please hurry to Daltonia Vi. Cecilia has hidden away Felix, so he hasn’t returned yet.”


    Cecilia silently watched Miranda as she lodged herint before she gave a nearby bodyguard a meaningful look.


    The bodyguard understood and swiftly dialed Nathaniel’s number.


    Elliot watched as Adrian and his wife turned their home upside down. He stepped forward and said, “Felix dide, but we didn’t hide him away.”


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Cecilia was puzzled as she asked, “Eli, when did Felixe?”Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    “Around five–thirty this afternoon. He followed me in here, but I have no idea where he went after that.”


    Naturally, Elliot didn’t reveal to anyone that he had led Felix behind the artificial hill so thetter lost his way.


    Upon hearing this, Miranda crouched down, disregarding whether the bodyguards were present as she seized Elliot’s small shoulders,


    “Did you hit our Felix?” she demanded.


    She initially intended for Felix to beat up Elliot, but she never expected her son to suddenly disappear.


    Elliot had been in declining healthtely, so even her lightest touch caused a nosebleed.


    “I wouldn’t stoop so low as to hit him!” Elliot said coldly.


    When Cecilia saw Elliot’s nose bleeding, she quickly pushed Miranda away. “Eli, are you okay? Let’s go; we need to get you to the hospital right away!”


    Miranda hadn’t expected Elliot to be so delicate, bleeding from the nose with just a gentle touch.


    Seeing as Cecilia was about to leave with the child in her arms, Miranda immediately had someone stop her. “You’re not leaving until you let our Felix go!


    “Move aside!” At this moment, Cecilia was also seeing red.


    Miranda was adamant. “If my son is in trouble, don’t think your son will have it any easier.”


    Without a word, Cecilia swiftly kicked toward her.
