Chapter 468 Jared Was Kidnapped
The lady comforted her.
Anastasia, however, remained terrified. It was far too sudden. In just a blink of an eye, Jared had vanished.
She turned around and saw that David and his men were no longer around. What happened? They’ve been
following me all along!
Anxiously, she took her phone out and called Elliot.
“Hello?”
“Elliot, have David and his men returned yet? Jared has gone missing! He vanished before my eyes!” Anastasia was
about to lose it and her voice was trembling nervously.
“Don’t panic, Anastasia. I’ll contact David now, alright?” Elliot tried to console her. “You look around first while I give
him a call.”
After ending the call, Anastasia went to the broadcasting area with the staff. She called Jared’s name several times

At the same time, all staff were reminded to keep an eye out for any child dressed similarly to Jared.
While the broadcaster was still speaking, Anastasia’s phone rang. She picked it up right away when she saw it was
Elliot who called. “Hello?”
“Something must have happened to Jared, Anastasia. I can’t contact David and his men at all. Jared might have
been kidnapped. I’m rushing to the museum now.”
“What?!” Hearing that, Anastasia felt as though all her energy was drained and she almost dropped her phone to
the floor. A staff member nearby immediately held her when he saw that. “Miss, are you okay?”
With reddened eyes, she begged the staff, “My son has been abducted! Please show me the surveillance video!”
In the meantime, Elliot was on his way to the museum as well. When his car came to a stop in front of a traffic light,
he could hear his phone ring, and he answered it immediately as he assumed that the caller was Anastasia.
“Hello?”
“Anastasia’s son is in our hands, Elliot Presgrave. Don’t you dare inform the police! Follow our instructions or
otherwise, Anastasia will never get to see her son again.” It was a male voice, clearly generated by a voice-
changing device.
Elliot’s car immediately braked, almost colliding with the car behind him. After a brief pause, he calmly responded,
“What exactly do you want me to do? I can give you whatever you want as long as you don’t harm the child.”
Elliot knew fully well that this kidnapper, or the group of them, kidnapped Jared all because of him.
At the same time, a man approached his window and violently knocked on it. Elliot’s earlier brake almost caused
this man to collide with him.
After a few knocks, the man was met with Elliot’s terrifying cold stare. That startled him, and he quickly took a few
steps back and walked away after spewing some vulgarities.
Elliot had a gloomy yet ruthless expression as he heard the conditions on the other end of the phone call.
“First and foremost, Elliot Presgrave, you tell Anastasia not to notify the police. We can’t guarantee this child’s

And the person hung up the call right after he finished his words.
Elliot immediately dialed Anastasia’s number. At the same time, she was watching the surveillance footage in the
security room, where she witnessed Jared being carried away in a matter of seconds. The two men who had
previously blocked her vision were the kidnapper’s accomplices. She also saw how David and his men passed out
before being carried away.
Such a large-scale kidnapping plot stunned the security guards as well. Anastasia, who was on the verge of
collapsing, received a phone call at this precise moment. “Jared has indeed been kidnapped.”
“Calm down, Anastasia. I’ve just received a phone call from the kidnapper. They are after me, not Jared. Don’t call
the police first. I’ll bring Jared back safely.” Elliot’s calm voice resonated from the phone.
Anastasia’s mind went blank for a few seconds before she asked, “What do they want from you?”
“I’ve already instructed Rey to get you; follow him first. Don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can to protect Jared.”
Anastasia felt her heart tighten when she heard Elliot’s words. This group of kidnappers clearly had this incident
well-planned. If Elliot went straight to them to save Jared, would Elliot be able to survive?
