Chapter 147

Madam Burgess hastily gave Ethan a quick rundown of how she found Connor. Ethan frowned even

deeper. “You didn’t se anyone other than him?”

“No. When I found Master Connor, he was crying. He was also holding a hydrogen balloon in his hand.

Oh, right, he also kep calling Mama.”

“Mama?” Ethan thought.

Connor had never been willing to call Marina Mama, so the person he was calling for couldn’t have

been her. It could only b Olivia.

Brent, who had already brought men to investigate the scene, reported to Ethan right away. “Mr. Miller,

I’ve checked the surveillance.

“Ms. Fordham was the one who sent Master Connor back. She purposefully left Master Connor on

Madam Burgess‘ way home from grocery shopping.

“That way, Madam Burgess would notice him.”

“Was there anyone else besides her?” Ethan asked.

“No.”

“Keep investigating.”

Ethan was even more confused now. Could it be just like Marina said, that Olivia had hired people to

kidnap Connor?

If she wanted to threaten him, why would she send the child back without even a request?

Ethan quickly denied that possibility. The child was still wearing the emerald necklace she gave him.

She could’ve harmed Connor that night. She didn’t have to get people to kidnap Connor at all.

It wasn’t her.

So why didn’t Connor’s kidnappers harm her or the child?

No matter how long he thought about it, Ethan couldn’t make sense of it. He decided to call Olivia up to

ask about it.

When he dialed her number, he found that Olivia’s phone was turned off.

Ethan sat up despite his illness. What did Olivia mean by this?

He got someone to track Olivia’s location, but he soon found that she never returned to the apartment.

She didn’t even contact Everly.

Instead, he found that she had just withdrawn a sum of money.

Was she threatened by someone?

Did she strike a deal with them in private?

But the cash only totaled up to 700 thousand dollars.

No kidnapper would ask for merely several hundred thousand dollars. They had kidnapped the richest

man’s son, after all.

Ethan believed that instead of paying the ransom, Olivia was more likely escaping.

After all, online payments would easily expose her location. But with cash, no one would find her. She

must be planning something.

The damned woman was trying to run away again. He should’ve bound her with iron chains!

Ethan ordered, “Seal all the exits. Don’t let her leave!”

He stuffed the child into Madam Burgess‘ arms. “Take good care of him.”

“Mr. Miller, you’re sick. Where are you going?”

Grabbing his coat, Ethan rushed to the door. He coughed as he said, “I’m going to get that stupid

woman back!”

Ethan’s face was pale. He held his fist to his mouth time and again as he coughed lightly. He watched

as people walked by outside.

He had watched the surveillance footage at the bank where Olivia withdrew money. She didn’t seem to

be threatened. She even went to the mall leisurely.

No kidnapper would allow their targets to have so much free time that they would go shopping at a

mall.

Also, just like Connor, Olivia seemed to have gotten a little plumper. Her mental state seemed to be

stable too. She wasn’t sickly like she used to be.

Ethan had a feeling that she had been living well in the past few days.

“Mr. Miller, I’ve already asked someone to check. Mrs. Miller never bought any tickets for any transport.

“Aren’t you being too nervous? Perhaps she just wants to go shopping.”

Ethan asked, “Would you withdraw several hundred thousand dollars in cash when you go shopping?”

Lighting a cigarette, Ethan placed his arm on the window. The white smoke hid his sullen face..

“She placed Connor on the path Madam Burgess takes after grocery shopping. Now, she’s using cash

to buy things. There’s only one explanation–she’s hiding from me.”

Brent reported, “We’ve already sent men to search the mall. We’ll find her right away. When that

happens, you can ask her any questions you have, Mr. Miller.”

The cigarette was about to finish. It was burning only a mere inch away from his fingers, which was a

dangerous distance.

Ethan’s gaze turned dark. When he thought about Olivia running away again, fury filled his heart.

“You can run, but you can’t hide,” he thought..
