The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 166

The Everett mansion’s network was being cut off all of a sudden.

A few minutes later, the power circuit was cut off as well. All electronic devices were out.

The servants were confused. “Sigh! Why is there a power outage all of a sudden? Everything is fine a

moment ago.”

“That’s right! The power of the surveillance cameras and electromechanical doors is being cut as well!”

“Oh, crap! This aquarium is thermostatic. I am afraid that the fishes will die during the power outage.”

“Hurry up and close the door of the backyard! The power is out now! Don’t let the animals escape!”

Bruce liked to raise animals ever since young. Therefore, there were a lot of pets in the Everett

mansion.

However, Bruce’s pets were not ordinary pets. All of them were ferocious beasts.

There were crocodiles, Tibetan mastiffs, wolves, leopards, and so on.

An independent zoo was built in the backyard. It would be a disaster if the animals escaped during the

power outage and hurt someone.

The servants were shocked. This had never happened before in the Everett mansion.

In the past, even if there was a power outage, the backup power would be activated immediately..

But now, the whole mansion’s powers were out.

“Go and check on the power circuit and see what’s going on!”

“Go over there to check it out! Hurry up!”

“Got it!”

It was absolute chaos in the mansion now. All of the servants ran over to check it out!

Naturally, the two little fellows were being neglected now.

Irvin chuckled, “Davian, it’s time. Let’s go! Hurry!”

“Okay!”

The two little fellows packed their things into their backpacks, grabbed their backpacks, and sneaked

out of the bedroom in stealth.

The Everett mansion was huge. Most of the areas were covered with greenery.

Now that surveillance cameras were down, the two little fellows managed to sneak out of the first

electromechanical door smoothly.

The security guard’s at the door were busy checking on the power circuit that they did not notice the

two kids come out of the fence.

“Be careful, Davian.”

“Shh! Don’t make any noise! Don’t let them catch us.”

The two little fellows crouched down as they slipped along the underside of the wall of greenery and

walked towards the second electromechanical

door.

There were approximately 500 yards between the first and second electromechanical doors.

In the middle, it was an exquisite inner garden with all kinds of precious flowers.

Now that the surveillance cameras were down, it would difficult to find an adult hiding inside, let alone

two little kids.

“Davian, there are three exits here. Which way are we going?”

“There are fewer people here. I guess this must be the back door!”

“Let’s take the back door!”

“Okay!”

The two little fellows got out of the second electromechanical door as they walked down a remote path!

That was the back door indeed.

The back door was connected to a private mountain.

It was also a wild bird island that was not open to the public.

It took the two little fellows quite sometime before reaching the back door.

Since the electromechanical door was down, the two little fellows flipped over the wall just like that.

“Haha! Do you think you could keep us captive? Dream on!”

“Hurry! Let’s go! Let’s go home and look for Mommy!”

“It has been so long since we last saw Mommy and Lilia. I miss them so much!”

“Me too!”

The two little fellows followed the mountain path up the mountain..

At first, the road was very wide.

O

But as they walked, the road became narrower and more difficult to walk.

“Wow! Davian, are we going in the wrong direction?”

“Why can’t we see any public transport after walking for so long?”

Davian looked around, feeling puzzled. He said, “That’s right! I find it weird too. We seem to go further

and further away. Aren’t we?”

“This house is too big. Why can’t I see any neighbors around?“.

“Forget it then. Let’s go further to take a look. There might be a bus stop ahead. If there is no bus, we

would hail a cab then!”

“Alright!”

Then, the two little fellows continued to walk forward, hand in hand.

At the Everett mansion.

Soon, the circuit engineers identified the problem and managed to restore the power in time.

However, it was delayed for more than half an hour.

“Oh no! This is bad! The two young masters are missing!”

When the servant named Dahlia was delivering the cakes to the two little fellows, she found that they

were gone.

“Are they in the backyard?”

“No! I have searched all the gardens, and a few rooms in the vicinity. But there was no sight of them!”

“Find them now! Hurry!”

“Quick! Inform the security department and ask them to send their men out to find the kids!”

Suddenly, the Everett mansion was in chaos again. More than a dozen servants were searching

everywhere for the two kids.

One hour later.

The two little fellows were still nowhere in sight.

“Oh my god! What should we do now?”

“How did these two kids disappear in such a short time?”

“Could it be that they have already sneaked out of the house?”

“Both of them were so young. How could it be possible for them to get out of the Everett mansion?”

“Oh no! It’s over! We will be doomed for sure for losing the two young masters! We are doomed!”

“What should we do now?”

“What else could we do now? Inform Mr. Everett immediately!”

“Ring!”

Bruce’s phone rang all of a sudden.

Bruce took out his phone and glanced at it. It was actually a call from the general secretary of the

Everett family.

“Hello!”

“Bad news, Mr. Everett! Bad news indeed!”

Upon hearing it, Bruce sat upright immediately and asked in a deep tone, “What’s the matter?”

“The two young masters are missing!”

Boom!

Upon hearing such news, Bruce gasped astonishingly. He almost growled over the phone.

But, as Joanna was right beside her, he had to suppress his anxiety and asked in a vexed manner,

“Gone missing? What do you mean by that?”

“Someone hacked into the Everett mansion’s electrical circuit control system just now. All the electronic

devices were down!

“After that, two young masters are missing…”

Bruce drew a cold breath as he got down from the bed and walked to the washroom hurriedly, “Hurry

up and send our men to look for them!”

“We have searched everywhere but they were still nowhere in sight!”

When Bruce heard about it, he was more anxious now. He shouted over the phone and said, “I am

giving you one hour to find the kids!”

“If anything happens to the kids, all of you shall meet your door!”

“Yes, Sir!”

The general secretary hung up the call. He was so frightened that his entire body was trembling in fear.

He gathered more people and started the search.

for the kids hurriedly.

Bruce’s face turned ghastly after coming out of the washroom.

His eyes were filled with anxiety.

Joanna sensed something amiss upon seeing his expression. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked,

“What happened, Bruce?”

“Nothing!” said Bruce with a wry smile.

He did not dare to tell Joanna that the kids were missing for fear that she would be worried!

Upon seeing Bruce speak evasively, Joanna had a bad feeling about it. She asked again, “What

exactly had happened?”

“Nothing! Really nothing!”

Joanna was speechless. She felt so uneasy when she looked at Bruce.

“Joanna, I have something urgent to attend to right now. So, I need to discharge immediately.”

“You have not recovered yet. How can you be discharged right now?”

Bruce twitched his mouth into a forceful smile and said, “I have something very important to attend to!”

“What exactly had happened?”

“Erm! Some work matters actually. You don’t have to worry about it. Stay in the hospital to take care of

Lilia, okay?”

As soon as Bruce finished his words, he changed into his clothes and left the ward hurriedly.

In just a blink of an eye!

An afternoon passed!

The two kids were still nowhere in sight!

“A bunch of rubbish! All of you are a bunch of rubbish! You can’t even find two kids after so long!”

“Mr. Everett, why don’t we call the police? The search and rescue team could assist in finding them!”

Soon…

A search and rescue team of more than a hundred people was deployed to search around the

mountain.

It was such a big incident that the media was alarmed.

“We have just received a piece of breaking news!”

“Two children are found missing near Mount Lance! If you have any leads, please call us at…”

Joanna accidentally came across the news showing on the television. Her heart skipped a beat

instantly!

“Aren’t they Davian and Irvin?”

“Why are they missing?”

When Joanna heard about the news, she almost break down. She made a call to Bruce immediately to

ask him about it.

“Hello, Bruce. What exactly had happened?”

Bruce knew that he could not hide it from Joanna anymore. “The kids… are missing!”

Joanna’s eyes darkened instantly upon hearing it. She almost fainted after knowing that her children

had gone missing. “How did it happen?”

“Don’t worry. I have mobilized everyone to go out and search for them!

“The search and rescue team is deployed to search for them as well. We will find Davian and Irvin for

sure even if there is a need to flip Mount Lance

over!”

“Bruce Everett! If you can’t find the kids, I will…”

Joanna’s eyes darkened instantly. She was so anxious that she could not speak at all.

On the other hand, Davian and Irvin had lost their way into the mountain!

The sky was getting darker.

“Davian, I am so cold!”

“I think we have lost our way!”

“Don’t worry, I will carry you!”

The two little fellows had not eaten anything for the whole day!

“What should we do now?”

“Let’s go over there and have a look!”

“We will get out of here for sure!”

“Are we going to die here, Davian?”

“No, we won’t!”

“Are there any monsters in the world?”

“Those are not true. There are no monsters in the world!”

“But, there are ghosts. Am I right? I am scared, Davian!”

“Why don’t we go back now?”

O
