Chapter 1123 Catch (1)
Sean hadn't actually cried, he was just putting on a show to get his father to let him go. But it didn't work. He casually glanced at his father's wrist and saw his own bite marks.
"Yesterday's incident was your doing," Elliot said firmly, looking at the little boy with a cold expression that made Sean stutter in response, "What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Sean tried to play dumb.
Elliot smirked and looked at him with amusement before turning away and leaving the company lobby with Sean in tow.
"Hey, where are you taking me?" Sean asked as they walked away.
Meanwhile, Valentin had been waiting for Sean but he still hadn't returned. He paced around the room anxiously and considered going to Harper Group himself when he remembered what Sean had told him before leaving: if he didn't come back within an hour, something must have happened. It was already past that time now!
Valentin waited for ten more minutes before finally calling Rose in a panic.
When Rose received Valentin's call, she jumped out of bed immediately. She froze for a moment after hanging up the phone until Leah came over asking her what was wrong. Then she quickly got dressed and left while instructing Leah not to leave their home until she returned safely.
At the villa gate, one of their servants caught up with her telling her that Mr. Harper had ordered them not to let her leave but Rose ignored them completely as she rushed out without any further obstacles or hindrances from anyone outside either.
Rose couldn't believe that her son would do something so dangerous! And why did he keep it from her? What if Elliot found out? Wasn't this putting Sean's life in danger?
Rose gritted her teeth as the car sped up, worried about Sean being discovered and seething with anger towards Elliot. She was holding back a surge of emotion, wishing she could fly to her son's side immediately.
Half an hour later, Rose arrived at the company in a rage. Ignoring the friendly smile from the receptionist, she headed straight for the elevator and quickly made it to the top floor.
The assistant was momentarily blinded by Rose's arrival and didn't get a good look at her face before seeing her rush into Mr. Harper's office. He had thought about following but remembered what Mr. Harper had instructed him earlier and decided against it.
"Elliot!"
With a loud bang, Rose pushed open his office door and saw him buried in paperwork at his desk.
She let out an angry roar that echoed outside of his door before everyone felt their bodies shake slightly as if something powerful had just entered their space.
But in just one second, Elliot's office door slammed shut.
Elliot slowly raised his head when he heard Rose enter but wasn't surprised to see her there.
"What do you want?" he asked calmly.
Rose's anger dissipated slightly under his gaze but flared up again when she thought about Sean being in Elliot's hands.
"Where did you take my child? I know you've seen Sean! Where is he? Give me my child!" Her face turned red with fury or perhaps urgency or both. Looking deeply into Rose's eyes for a moment, Elliot couldn't quite put words to how he felt - angry yet disappointed yet hopeless all at once. "You won't be seeing your child anytime soon," he sneered coldly despite feeling uneasy himself while forcing himself to keep calm. Rose's eyes were bright and red with anger, worried about her son's safety. She was afraid that this man would do something to harm her child. "Elliot!" she called out his name, each word filled with sadness and anger. Her face became serious and dark as she spoke, "That's my child! Give Sean back to me!"
Elliot watched as she grew more anxious, secretly pleased but also feeling suffocated and frustrated. Rose... not only had a daughter, but even gave birth to twins with another man! Ha! It was ridiculous...
As soon as he thought of this, Elliot couldn't help but become enraged. "Your child? Rose, I didn't even know you had twins! You didn't let me see that boy before because you were afraid i'd hurt him? You're really something else... not only did you fake your death and run away from me all those years ago, but you also gave birth to twins with some wild man. You're really something else..."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became until suddenly he stood up from his seat while leaning forward slightly towards Rose. He stared at her face-to-face while holding both hands in front of him; his eyebrows raised high in an angry expression on his cold black face which startled Rose.
"What are you talking about? When I..." Rose was startled by him and angered by what he said so much so that she wanted to explain herself immediately but then a realization passed through her mind causing her to shut up abruptly before changing the subject. "That's my business; it has nothing to do with you! Elliot, give my child back now or if I see any harm come upon him, I won't let you off!"
Her children were everything for her; she could not accept anyone hurting them no matter who they were - even if it was Elliot himself.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
A mocking smile appeared on Elliot's lips which deeply stung Rose's eyes. "Since you know your child is here," said Elliot slowly without blinking an eye at the woman's face, "you must know what he did."
Rose's angry expression froze for a moment.
"He wants to blow up my company," continued Elliott staring intently into the woman's eyes.
"I have someone watching over him now." Then he looked directly at the stunned Rose in front of him and said word for word, "You'll never find him."
