Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 57 Let Me Hear My Son’s Voice!

The call ended abruptly again, but Amanda couldn’t understand why the kidnapper didn’t ask for ransom but demanded that she leave the country instead.

“Amanda, let’s check the mansion’s surveillance footage and see if we can find any clues,” Simon suggested, inspiring Amanda, who immediately stood up and headed upstairs. “Yes, let’s check the surveillance!”

Simon had installed several cameras on the outside of the mansion alone. They would’ve certainly captured something.

With that, the two went to the monitoring room and scrutinized the day’s footage, and sure enough, they found Colette shoving Aiden into a black sedan, which drove away but never returned.

Colette, on the other hand, stayed inside the mansion the whole day before leaving frantically at night. Coupled with the fact that she was now unreachable, she must’ve fled.

Tll have someone check the license plate right away,” Simon said before turning around to make the call.

Although Amanda was grateful for his help, to be honest, that was too slow… She was worried they might drug her son with sleeping pills if this kept up. After all, Aiden hadn’t always been the calmest child. The kidnappers would certainly put him to sleep if he kicked up a fuss and aggravated them.

“It’s already very late, Amanda. My friend told me he might only be able to find Aiden in the morning. Take it easy, alright?” Simon was well aware of how anxious and desperate Amanda was right then. However, his connections were just that slow.

“I know, Simon. Thank you…” She slumped lifelessly onto the couch, imagining what Aiden could be doing right then. At the same time, she wondered if he was suffering any torment from the kidnappers.

“Amanda, let’s call the cops. They have better access and can sort out the clues more clearly.” Simon suggested after pondering. After all, he believed that bringing the cops into the picture was the safest and most effective solution. However, Amanda dared not risk it. “Don’t! The kidnapper said I would receive Aiden’s fingers if I called the police! I can’t call them. I can’t risk it!”
