Chapter 247 “If Mrs. Brooks Senior approved of you, she wouldn’t be Mrs. Brooks Senior.”

Low became In this situation, the more Sergio defended Marve, the more displeased Halley l At that moment, Sergio’s phone rang-

Maeve glanced down and saw Larry’s name displayed on the caller ID.

Larry’s voice sounded urgent. “Mr. Brooks, there’s a problem.”

“What is it?”

“Ms. Hoffman... she’s missing!”

“Have you checked with the Hoffman family?!

“We’ve already sent some people there. Ms. Hoffman didn’t return home.”

Maeve listened closely.

There was only one route back from Royal Bistro. If Cecilia had returned, she would have crossed paths with Larry’s car.

Something had to have happened.

Did Clara make a move against Cecilia?

Maeve frowned slightly. Even if Clara wanted to act against Cecilia, it wouldn’t be this fast. After all, she had just met Cecilia for the first time tonight.

Sergio hung up the phone and said to Marve, “Go and take a shower. I’ll handle everything else.”

Just as he finished speaking, Sergio received a text message. “If you want to save Ms. Hoffman, prepare one million dollars in ransom. Don’t call the police.”

The kidnappers had also provided a location.

Maeve glanced at the text message briefly, then said to Sergio in a calmn tone, “Are you going ing to personally search for her?”

It something had really happened to Cecilia, Hailey wouldn’t allow Sergio to simply send someone to search for her.

Seeing Sergio’s silence, Maeve knew that he understood that he had to personally search for Cecilla Marve said, “I’ll go with you.”

Downstairs, Hailey learned that Cecilia had been kidnapped and became furious.

Cecilla was the beloved daughter of the Hoffman family, and the relationship between the Hoffman family and the Brooks family was good. They had several cooperative projects together.

Moreover, Hailey also quite liked Cecilia The Brooks family immediately mobilized many people to search for Cecilia passenger seat. When they Sergio drove straight to the abandoned car factory with a one–million–dollar check, while Maeve sat silently in the p arrived at the outskirts, they were met with the desolate sight of the factory.

Sergio got out of the car immediately.

The abandoned car factory was eerily quiet, but there were faint sounds of a woman struggling coming from somewhere.

Maeve quickly pinpointed Cecilia’s location, which was nearby in a small workshop But the next moment, a figure rushed out from the comer. The person, who was wearing a mask, held a knife against Maeve’s neck. Sergio’s face darkened instantly. “I’ve brought the money. Let her go!”

Maeve could feel the hand of the person holding the knife trembling. He was cle clearly not a professional kidnapper.

When she had been kidnapped by Devon before, those people had been much more professional than the person behind her now. “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill her!”

The man’s voice sounded young, like a teenager’s Marve said calmly, “Keep the hand holding the knife steady. If you hurt me, you won’t get the money, and you’ll also lose your lite.” “Shut up!”

Although the man was loud, his hand that was holding the knife was now farther away from Maeve’s neck.
