Everyone in the car was shocked.
Bianca approached cautiously, spotting dried blood beneath Drake's head. She placed her hand under his nose and
detected a faint breath.
Her hand trembled, and her eyes glinted ruthlessly as she raised her foot and kicked Drake.
"Get up!" she demanded.
Lina and Zuko joined her, discovering that the factory was now empty.
"Where's the child?" Lina asked.
"Ow..." Drake groaned on the ground and struggled to get up. "Help, help... This brat!"
"Drake Dickinson!" Bianca exclaimed, exasperated.
After all, she had confidently declared that she knew Nala's whereabouts. She had accused Drake and Alexander of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtconspiring with Lena to kidnap her.
With Drake injured and the two children missing, this was a complete deviation from the plan she had devised to
implicate Lena!
Seeing Bianca clearly, Drake was about to ask for help when he caught her signaling him with her eyes. He froze,
realizing that Zuko and Lina were present.
He remembered Bianca's warning—they were supposed to pretend they didn't know each other in front of
outsiders. He cowered and remained silent.
Zuko stepped forward and asked, "You're Drake Dickinson?"
Drake stammered, unable to meet his gaze.
"You're Lena's adoptive father?" Zuko persisted. "Did you and your son collaborate to kidnap the Chriss child?"
"No, no!" Drake became flustered. "Young man, please don't accuse me! My son, that brat... h-he's the one! Look at
my head! He hit me with a brick!"
"That's enough!" Bianca feared that further discussion would reveal too much. She looked at him sternly, silencing
him.
Lina sneered. This was such a crude trick that it was both foolish and infuriating!
She said coldly, "Ms. Mosley, didn't you claim they were conspiring? Is there discord among you now?"
"That's exactly it!" Drake chimed in, seizing the opportunity. "Miss, my ungrateful son actually attacked me with a
brick! I don't know where they've gone now... That little brat probably wanted to keep that girl for himself so he
could have all the money from selling her!"
Lina glanced at him. The Thompsons' men had arrived by car.
Lina instructed, "Uncle Ian, kindly escort Mr. Dickinson back. Attend to his injuries first, then I have some questions
to ask him personally."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Understood."
"Also, the two children..." Lina paused for a moment. "Regardless of the methods you employ, you must find them!"
"I understand." Ian nodded. "It is Ms. Chriss, right?"
"Yes." Zuko added, "Uncle Ian, the Hamertons are also sending people to search. If you require any assistance, you
can contact my assistant."
Bianca discreetly moved aside. She couldn't afford to provoke either the Hamertons or the Thompsons.
She had intended to pin the blame on Lena, but she had fallen into her own trap instead! She bit her lip, determined
to find a way to evade responsibility before Nala was located.
Alexander had already run quite a distance with Nala.
They were in the sparsely populated outskirts. They had been running for a while and had no idea of their
whereabouts. There was only one seemingly endless road, with fields, woods, and wasteland on either side, but no
other soul in sight.
