My Mute Bride

Chapter 225 Surprised?

When Rachel heard the familiar voice, her hands trembled. “Samuel!” Meanwhile, Frankie sensed that something was off and asked, “What’s wrong, Miss Hudson? What happened?”

“Samuel’s…” As she was about to explain, she remembered the kidnapper’s warning, so she immediately stopped. After all, she was reminded of the incident with her grandmother, and all she could feel in that instant was panic.

“What about Samuel?” Since she was too panicked to explain anything, Rachel grew impatient while waiting for the elevator and turned around before she stormed toward the staircase. On the other hand, Frankie couldn’t even stop her.

“President Burton, Miss Hudson just received a call and rushed off. Something seems to have happened to Samuel.” Upon returning to the office, Frankie relayed the situation to Justin.

The latter asked doubtfully, “What can possibly happen to that brat?” The brat’s always acting as if he’s a grown-up, running to my home to look for me and all that. Even if he were to bump into a trafficker, he’d be the one to traffic the trafficker.

“I’m not sure either, but it seemed urgent. Perhaps something has really happened to him. Why don’t we send someone to check it out, President Burton?”

As he scowled, Justin suddenly remembered the phone call from earlier. Instantly, he gripped the pen in his hand. To the outside world, Samuel was his own son—he was being kidnapped!

Meanwhile, Rachel phoned Julian as she rushed to the abandoned theater in Eastown. “Hello? Are you at my place? Is Samuel at home?”

“I was going to ask you if Samuel went out by himself. There’s no one here.”

Upon hearing Julian’s words, Rachel affirmed the kidnapper’s threats.

“What’s wrong, Chris?” Julian queried as he sensed something wrong with her tone.

“Nothing. There’s something I need to do. I’ll talk to you later.” Upon finishing her sentence, she quickly hung up on him.
