Chapter 173 Her Jig Is Up âIâll get down here and hail a cab. Itâs quite far. Please go back to work.â
Arissa waved goodbye to her colleagues before taking a cab to Olswick.
She contacted the school and told them that the kids had been found. She also apologized to the principal.
While she was on her phone, she sized the driver up, but nothing seemed unusual. She finally felt relieved.
Meanwhile, in Olswick, Bradley was keeping a watchful eye on the man and the woman.
He didnât know which building they were currently residing. He had to keep a low profile so that he wouldnât give the game away.
Nonetheless, he paid the beggars on every street in the area to watch out for the two. That way, he would know once they made their appearance.
So, after he received Arissaâs call, he quickly rushed to her aid.
He spotted the five kids sitting on the terrace garden. They were eating snacks. They were so cute that he could not bring himself to stay mad at them.
âHey! What are you guys doing here? Your mother is worried sick.â
âMr. Hinton!â
As soon as Bradley came into view, the children ran over to hug him.
âWe are here for you. We wanted to give you a surprise,â Jesse said sweetly.
Bradley was shocked. âHow did you know Iâm here?â
âWe have GPS,â Jasper answered, waving his phone.
âAs much as we like visiting you, we have an urgent matter to tell you,â Zachary said sternly.
Bradley raised his eyebrows. âWhat is it?â
Chills ran down Bradleyâs spine as Zachary told him everything.
That was a close one! If they hadnât been practicing self-defense since they were much younger, they would have fallen into the hands of the bad guys.
âWe found that the culprit is somewhere around here. Thatâs why we came, and... we called her just now. I believe sheâll show up soon.â
âHuh? What did you tell her?â Bradley was astonished.
Wonât she suspect anything?
A hint of cruelty flashed across Gavinâs eyes. âWe told her that her jig is up. The police will be at her doorstep in any minute.â
Bradley gaped.
âNow, we just have to wait for her to take the bait.â
Zachary revealed a devilish smirk.
âOh, my! You should have at least told your mother about this.â
Bradley and the five children took their cover as they surveyed the alley.
The kids had already located the womanâs hideout. They just couldnât be sure which room was hers.
Meanwhile, when Edwin realized Gavin was missing, he rushed to the school. He was anxious as well.
He didnât want to hide the news from Benjamin, so along the way he contacted the boyâs father.
Benjamin did not pick up the call. Edwin had no choice but to call Ethen instead.
âEdwin?â
âEthen, Gavinâs missing. Quick, send out a search party!â
Staggered, Ethen walked outside as he continued to learn about the situation.
After finding out that Gavin was last seen at school, Ethen hurriedly got his men to check the surveillance footage.
He called Benjamin too, but the call was instantly cut off.
Huh? What the h*ll is going on out there? Mr. Graham hasnât left Dannaâs side. And now, he doesnât even pick up my call?
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 172 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Left with no choice, he sent Benjamin a text message.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Danna noticed Benjaminâs active phone screen. She peered at the direction of the restroom. Seeing that the coast was clear, she grabbed his phone, hung up the incoming call, and deleted the phone record.
It wasnât easy to get Benjamin to stay with me. I wonât let anyone come between us. If he leaves, Iâll be stuck here on my own.
Ethen texted Benjamin: Mr. Graham, Gavinâs missing.
Dannaâs eyes lit up at the sight of the text message. She immediately deleted that too.
That son of a b*tch is missing? This is great! He had better not show his face again!
A hint of smugness flashed across her eyes.
The door opened. Danna instantly put down Benjaminâs phone and got back onto the bed, pretending to be asleep.
