Eudora was in good spirits when they returned, and she thought of going out for a walk. However, she was held back by Amos once again.
He pushed her straight to the bed. Amos played with the tips of her hair as he said, "It's your bedtime! Time to sleep."
Eudora teased him playfully, "Why don't you sleep with me then?"
Before she could say anything else, Amos had already started to undress. Eudora was dumbfounded.
This guy really knew no bounds.
At this moment, Amos had already taken her into his arms, "Sleep!"
Eudora yawned. She wondered if she had gotten accustomed to sleeping at this time of the day. She closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep.
It wasn't until her breathing had gradually slowed down that Amos finally let go of her. He then got up to get dressed before leaving.
He went to the study and made a phone call to Harley.
"How is it?"
"Amos!" Harley yelled.
Auntie Valerie, who was still a little worried, was delighted when she heard Harley's voice through the phone. She thought that Amos was extremely disappointed in her, but she didn't expect that he was still concerned about Weldon.
However, the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
She had done something that could potentially hurt the Madam.
Harley whispered the plan through the call, "We are going to ask Auntie Valerie to become the bait. Then, we will catch them once they've fallen into the trap."
Amos hummed lightly and then said, "Okay."
After a pause, he added, "Don't hurt the child."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Harley looked at his phone, and the corners of his lips twitched. Don't hurt the child? Did Amos become protective of children after becoming a father? He was so considerate to the extent of protecting other people's children.
Harley couldn't help but lament. However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered about Thea.
He and Thea had spent the night together not too long ago. It would be nice if she had gotten pregnant too.
However, his mood immediately dipped when he thought about the fact that Thea was still trying to pursue that young man.
Why was he still thinking of that wretched woman?
Harley hung up the phone and then repeated the plan with Auntie Valerie. After that, it was a lengthy Since he couldn't contact the other party directly, he could only wait for the other party to take the initiative to call Auntie Valerie.
After a long wait, the phone finally rang, and Auntie Valerie scrambled to pick it up.
"Weldon!"
The other party was silent for a moment before smiling and saying, "Is it done?"
"Yes, it's done!" Auntie Valerie nodded, "I've told the Madam everything, as per your instructions. She was heartbroken and she fainted from the shock. The doctors are treating her now."
The man said with satisfaction, "I hope that you are telling the truth. Otherwise, your grandson will be doomed!"
Next to her was Harley, who gave Auntie Valerie a knowing look, signaling her to buy them more time.
It would take a bit of time for the police to track the other party's phone signal with their tracking system.
Auntie Valerie quickly added, "Urn, I want to speak to my grandson."
The other party snorted, "Don't you dare play tricks with me!" After that, they heard a thumping sound from the other end, as though someone had been kicked. Then, there was the sound of a child's weak cry, "It hurts, Grandma. I'm in pain."
Auntie Valerie was heartbroken, "Weldon, don't be scared. Grandma is coming to pick you up!" The police next to them were beaming as they reminded her softly, "Just a little more. Soon..."
Auntie Valerie took a deep breath. She was about to speak when someone pushed the door open all of a sudden and ran in, "Mom, are you crazy? Didn't you promise us that you would not call the police?"
Harley took out his cell phone frantically and called Amos.
"What's going on?" "Amos, this is bad! Our plan has been exposed to the other party. Where is Eudora? Is she in danger?"
Amos rushed out from the study in a heartbeat. He trotted across the hallway and opened the door to the bedroom. Eudora was still sleeping soundly in the room.
However, Amos did not let his guard down. He thought of Juju at this moment.
"Charlie!" Amos shouted in the heat of the moment, "You and Wesley must ensure the Madam's safety at all times. Don't let anyone get near her. I'm going out for a while."
Charlie noticed the displeasure on Amos' face. He knew that things must have gotten more serious. Therefore, he immediately nodded, "Got it!"
Amos then hung up the phone and grabbed the keys. The car blasted out the next second.
Harley sent his colleague and Auntie Valerie to another location to rescue Weldon. Then, he rushed to the kindergarten personally.
The two men met in front of the kindergarten and entered the school hastily.
Everything was very quiet and peaceful outside the kindergarten. It didn't seem like anything had happened.
It was about time for school to be dismissed. Soon, Amos found Juju's teacher.
"Where is Naomi Granger? Did she already leave?"
The teacher smiled and nodded, "She has already left. I personally accompanied her to the car. It was your chauffeur who came to pick her up."
Amos immediately called the driver, "Is Miss Juju in the car?"
The driver nodded, "Yes, I've dropped the Little Miss at home. She's playing with her classmate happily right now."
The rising adrenaline in Amos' heart finally flattened.
However, the next second, he tensed up again, "Classmate? Who's that?"
