?Chapter 2925


    Vince could not see Sadie''s smug smile since his back was turned toward her.


    ''Seems like Esmond has employed more reliable help this time, making the abduction swift and decisive,'' thought Sadie. Out loud, she asked with concern, "Dad, have you called the police?"


    Vince impatiently waved her off. "Enough, let''s go back for now. Standing here won''t bring Rita back. Sherman has sent people to look for her. I don''t know if he''ll call the police or not. If they''ve kidnapped her and he calls the police, it might put Rita in danger."


    Sadie nodded. "You''re right. Let''s go back. Mom might be worrying about us right now."


    Mentioning Karen reminded Vince that she was pregnant. He did not want to stay there either. After all, the people who had kidnapped Rita might target the others in her family as well.


    "Alright, you don''t need to worry about Rita''s kidnapping. Let''s go home."


    As they drove back home, they saw Karen—her baby bump showing—standing at the door and anxiously looking around. She rushed up to them as soon as she saw them.


    "Are you both okay?" She nced behind Sadie. "Where''s Rita? Is she really in trouble?"


    Vince nodded solemnly and said with a frown, "Both you and Sadie stay home. We don''t know if someone has targeted our family. Rita still hasn''t been found, and no one has contacted us. I''m not sure what''s going on."


    "Have you called the police?" asked Karen.


    The mother and daughter were indeed united in their concern, as Karen asked the same question as Sadie.


    Vince, still frowning, said he did not know. "Anyway, she''s already married. We''ll follow Sherman''s lead on this so that he has no grounds to me us if something really happens."


    Karen felt a chill in her heart. Vince was even more ruthless than she had imagined. After all, he used Rita to get more money from Sherman, yet he showed such an indifferent attitude when Rita was in trouble. Even Karen thought he was too cold-hearted.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea. After all, it was when Rita was on her way here that she got into trouble. Can''t you have someone check the surveince footage? Maybe we can find some clues!" Karen felt that regardless of Vince''s attitude as a father, she, as a stepmother, should at least show some concern.


    Afraid that her mother''s interference might ruin her n, Sadie quickly took her mother''s arm and gently pinched her on the inside.


    "Mom, as a pregnant woman, you shouldn''t be thinking about these things. What if all this worrying affects you and the baby? Dad and Sherman are handling this. Plus, what can you do if even they can''t find her?"


    Vince nodded. "Yes, listen to Sadie. Go back and rest. You and Sadie don''t need to worry about what''s happening here. I''ll give Sherman a call and see what he ns to do."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.

    Sherman was thinking that if they could not find Rita, he would make the entire Russell family pay.


    ''Rita went home today to get more information about Esmond from Karen. She''s such a fool. She''s even willing to put her own life at risk to find out the truth and reveal it to the world. She''s sacrificed so much for those people, but have they ever appreciated her efforts? Clearly, she hates going back to her father''s ce and pretending to get along with them, but she still forces herself to go there three times a week.''
