You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1898: Disappearing Together

At dawn the next day, Felix, Vicki, and Luther Joyce gathered together. Joyce, with a pregnant belly, sat on the sofa, propping her

chin with one hand, lost in thought, while Luther sat beside her, constantly making phone calls.

After finishing a call, Joyce turned to Luther and asked, "Any news? Any results?"

Luther shook his head. "Nothing at all. | had people check all the surveillance near the schools, but we haven't found any unusual

vehicles. Until now, we still don't know how they managed to take the two children out of the school."

Joyce analyzed, "Athena doesn't have the capability or the wit for this. Cloud is no longer here, and | suspect she might have new

help around her."

Felix entered at this moment. "It's possible. But | just checked with my contacts at the border, and there were no suspicious

individuals coming from Rohomes to Pascaylia recently."

Vicki chuckled coldly, "Who would use their real identity to enter? Creating a fake identity isn't difficult. It's likely that Athena's

maternal clan in Rohomes is supporting her."

Luther threw his phone aside. "Talking about this now is pointless. No matter who is with her, let's focus on rescuing the children

first."

Joyce sighed, "The Bryant family is in chaos. Torrance called the school. She foundand beggedto help her, to save Kiki. |

could tell she was desperate, crying and emotionally shattered. The Bryant family has a long history as an artistic family for a

century, and they've always been low-key in Khebury. Reuben's mother, Kempley, is currently in a mental hospital in Rohomes.

Torrance, unmarried, manages the entire family. Kiki, although conceived through a sperm bank, is the only heir of the Bryant

family. | thought Torrance didn't have much affection for her own daughter, she never seemed to care for the child, except being

strict and demanding. | didn't expect that, at the end of the day, she's still her flesh and blood; anyone would feel heartache."

Joyce's words were directed at Vicki, who wasn't very familiar with the Bryant family's situation. Vicki asked, "How did you talk to

Torrance? Is Anderson safe now? Where is he?"

Joyce shrugged, "I've had people take Anderson to the safest place and increased the security around him. Torrance knows that my

son hasn't been kidnapped, so she askedto use military force to help her find the children. | told her | would do my best and

advised her not to act in haste. It's crucial not to go around looking for help. Especially, | reminded her not to tell Reuben at the

moment, to avoid escalating the situation. We should try to resolve this ourselves without involving Rohomes and making it an

international incident."

"Can she understand that?" Vicki hadn't met Torrance and was not very familiar with her.

"She can. She's the head of the Bryant family, very astute. By saying that, I've made it clear to her that this matter is related to

Rohomes. She knows, and won't act recklessly." Joyce rubbed her hands.

Luther interjected, "The trouble now is that Westbrook is also involved. When | talked to Anderson, | specifically asked. Anderson

said that before leaving, he explicitly told Westbrook not to stay at the school and to go back early. At that time, he even looked

back and saw Westbrook beginning to pack up to leave. But Westbrook ultimately stayed to accompany Kiki. If Westbrook hadn't

been captured, things would have been easier to handle. We could have involved international organizations. Felix, | really don't

want to drag your family into this again. The Saunders family has finally found peace. This is something | should handle myself."

"You are being too formal with that statement." Felix's face darkened. "Things have already reached this point, and now that the

Saunders family is involved, | won't stand idly by. Besides, even if Westbrook hadn't been captured, | wouldn't ignore your

situation. Athena, in cooperation with Seren, has trapped the Saunders family like this, and | will settle that score with her."

"Westbrook is, after all..." Joyce paused. "After all, he's Seren's son. | thought maybe you would consider abandoning him, which

would be understandable. Not to mention abandoning him, at least there wouldn't be the need for a big fuss, to avoid any

entanglements."
