“Nothing, Grandpa.” After Shaun said to him, the Liona members finally arrived.
The members of Snowden and Liona began to fight each other in the manor.
After the police were notified about it, they hurried over and settled the matter.
However, Rodney accused Shaun and Cate of kidnapping.
Cate was exasperated by Rodney’s behavior. ” Rodney, you abandoned Mireya for Sarah. Are you also planning to lose Shaun, your buddy, because of her too?”
She was not worried about Rodney accusing them in front of the police because they did not do it. Even if the police investigated the matter, the two of them would not be found guilty. However, if the incident became severe, it would tarnish Lyons Corporation’s reputation. Previously, Wesley hollowed out half of Lyons Corporation. Things had finally begun to look up. If the company was negatively impacted again, it would be very troublesome.
This was also why Cate and Shaun had been putting up with Sarah before this.
Nevertheless, no one expected Rodney to go so far for Sarah.
“If you hand Sarah over, I’ll take our friendship into account and pretend that nothing happened.” Rodney clenched his fists. He held back and gave Shaun the last chance.
” She’s not here, so I can’t hand her over to you. ” Shaun had nothing much to say to Rodney, his former good friend.
“Fine. Since you guys insist on not handing her over, don’t blame me for being abrasive once I find the evidence.”
Rodney’s eyes flashed with utter despair. He turned around and got in his car. Then, the car drove out of view.
He headed to the hospital. After spending one night investigating the case, there had been significant progress on it.
Only after Rodney left the manor did Shaun return to his bedroom. He picked up his phone, only to realize that Chester had tried calling him a few times.
He immediately called Chester back. After he got through, Chester said, “I heard Rodney brought his people to kick up a fuss in the Lyons family’s manor. “
“Mm. He even destroyed the manor’s gate.” Shaun asked with a frown, “What on earth happened to Sarah?”
“It’s really not your doing?” Chester said in a serious tone, “We’re buddies. Please be honest with me.”
Shaun shook his head. “I can tell you that I intended to attack the day Sarah went to the airport. Her disappearance today has nothing to do with me.”
Chester believed him. “It’s obvious. If you had done something, you would’ve expected Rodney to bring his men over for a search. Based on your character, you would’ve carefully assigned people early on. He wouldn’t have had a chance to barge into the Lyons family’s manor.”
Shaun sighed. He smiled bitterly. “You understand me best.”
It was unfortunate that Rodney understood Shaun less despite knowing him for so long.
“Rodney understands you too, but… He always becomes irrational when it comes to matters that involve Sarah.” Chester’s voice sounded helpless too.
“Say no more. Actually, there’s already no more trust between Rodney and me, ” Shaun said mockingly, “But I’m curious about who kidnapped Sarah.”
“Maybe she has other enemies she has offended.” Chester took a drag of the cigarette. “I did some investigation in the hospital. Here’s what I think happened. At g:oo p.m. last night, someone disguised as a doctor examined Sarah. After that person went in, they knocked out Sarah and the caregiver. Then, they tied Sarah outside the window and someone took Sarah away using a rope from the rooftop.”
Shaun was astonished. “Was there no commotion at all when Sarah and the caregiver were knocked out in the ward?”
“That’s the weird thing.” Chester was thinking about it too. “However, the caregiver said Sarah went to sleep very early last night. I suspect that Sarah must’ve been knocked out beforehand, but I’m not sure how that happened.”
“Maybe someone tampered with her medications or everyday items.” Shaun guessed. “The person who did it was quite meticulous too. I don’t know whether the motive is to kidnap or get revenge on Sarah. If it was for revenge, Sarah might not even be alive now.”
“Don’t worry. Since she went missing in my hospital, I’ ll investigate this thoroughly for you.
Rodney won’t be able to blame you even if he files a police report.”
At the hospital, Chester put down his phone. He stood in front of the window, looking at the sky that was starting to turn bright.
Not long after, his subordinate came in. “Young Master Jewell, I’ve asked that caregiver. Sarah said she was tired very early last night. But for the past few days, Sarah’s wounds would hurt and she would only sleep at 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. She was most probably drugged. However, there’s no problem with Sarah’s IV drip yesterday. Her meals were arranged by Young Master Snow. The caregiver also said that Sarah had an upset stomach last night and did not eat much. The only possibility would be…”
Chester raised his eyebrows. “Go on.”
His subordinate walked to Chester’s front and spoke in a low voice, “The toothpaste. I squeezed some of Sarah’s toothpaste and did a test. There are traces of drugs in it. It’s a drug that’ll make people drowsy even if only a little of it comes into contact with the mouth cavity.”
Chester’s pupils constricted. He recalled something all of a sudden. He had brought Eliza to Sarah’s ward yesterday. Eliza had gone to the bathroom too. Therefore, it was very possible that she tampered with the toothpaste.
He pulled his subordinate over. “Where’s that toothpaste?”
“It’s still in the bathroom. But it’s likely that only the front bit of the toothpaste has been tampered with. If we don’t say anything, Young Master Snow won’t find out about it,” the subordinate said carefully. “I remember your words. If it was Young Master Lyons who did this, we should erase as much evidence as possible stealthily. Therefore, I didn’t inform Young Master Snow anything.”
“Don’t say a word about this anymore.” Chester asked in a low voice, “Who has gone into Sarah’s ward yesterday?”
“Not many. Just Rodney, the caregiver, Cindy, Miss Eliza, and you…” After the subordinate spoke, his gaze became different.
“Is there any progress on Rodney’s side?” Chester asked all of a sudden.
“Yes. Snowden’s people acquired the hospital’s security footage at dawn. Sarah was taken away through the rooftop. As long as a suspicious person is found entering the rooftop at that hour, it won’t take long for them to find the culprit, ” the subordinate said. “The other party definitely took Sarah away in a car. If the car can be found, it’ll be easy to investigate this matter.”
After pausing for a moment, the subordinate muttered, “Actually, the other party shouldn’t have made a move at this time. There are security cameras everywhere in the hospital. It’s easy to leave traces behind.”
Chester took a long drag of his cigarette.
That was right. They should not have taken action at this time. It was too hasty.
Even Shaun did not make a move.
“Okay, I got it. You can go out. Keep an eye on the progress on Rodney’s side. Inform me immediately if any situation arises.”
After the subordinate left, Chester dialed a number. “Find out Eliza’s movements last night. I need the information in detail as soon as possible. No matter what method you use, give it to me within 20 minutes.”
During that period, Chester kept standing in front of the window. Many incidents flashed across his mind.
For example, when he went to the club two days ago, he saw Mireya and Eliza drinking there. The bartender said Eliza had crushed a wine glass with her hands.
He recalled Eliza taking the lead and kissing him yesterday in order to meet Sarah.
After meeting Sarah, Eliza was eager to avoid Chester again.
Chester laughed coldly.
About ten minutes later, his men gave him a call. ” Young Master Jewell, Eliza had a meal with Director Lear until after 8:oo p.m. last night. After that, her car went into a nearby neighborhood. Her car is still in the neighborhood, but she’s not there. Her phone can’t be contacted as well. I checked the security footage of the neighborhood. Within five minutes after Eliza’s car entered, another car without a car plate exited. Afterward, that car went onto the federal highway and turned into a newly constructed road. There are no security cameras there, so the current situation is unknown.”
“Assign people to go there and search along the newly constructed road for suspicious cars at the houses or factories nearby.”
After giving his orders, Chester quickly took his white coat off.
Doctor Jenkins, who was in the same department as Chester, had just arrived for work. Chester threw his car keys to him. “Where did you park your car? Let’s swap cars for a day.”
After being stunned for a few seconds and looking a t the keys to a Maybach in his hands, Dr. Jenkins immediately passed his Volvo car keys to Chester.
“Don’t tell anybody else about us swapping cars. “
Chester left quickly. When he was about to arrive at the official residence, he called Mireya’s number. ” Miss Lynch, I’m Chester. I have an important matter to tell you. Please come out. I’ll wait for you at the door.”
Mireya was brushing her teeth. She was confused when she received Chester’s call. Was she close to Chester? “Can’t you just talk about it over the phone? Rodney can’t possibly be in your car, right?”
“If you want to save Eliza, quickly change your clothes and come out. Don’t tell anyone about this. Doing so will only harm Eliza.” Chester urged Mireya coldly.
Mireya was shocked. Although she was not clear about what was happening, she wiped her face in a hurry and ran out after simply putting on clothes.
At the garden, she bumped into Ryan, who had just returned from jogging. He was wearing a set of white sportswear. Looking at Mireya’s frantic expression, he frowned. “It’s so early in the morning. Where are you going? Has Dani woken up yet?”
“Dani is still sleeping. Something urgent came up. If Aunty Loretta can’t handle her, please take care of Dani for me.”
Mireya hurriedly ran toward the gates after speaking.
A Volvo was parked under a nearby oak tree. Chester opened the car door. Mireya ran over and got in the car. “What happened to Eliza?”
“How well do you know your friend?” Chester turned his head and looked at Mireya. His gaze was deep and sharp.
Mireya was stunned. Actually, she did not know Eliza really well because Eliza was different from her. She liked to share all of her thoughts while Eliza would hide hers in her heart.
