A phone call interrupted the two.
The Collins family called, saying that Penny was missing, and such news was like a huge stone thrinto the lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.
Penny is missing?
Alina frantically dialed the child's phone number, yet all that came from the other side of the phone was a mechanical, cold voice.
Rising violently, a pain came from her heart at that moment and her eyes went black in bursts, almost causing Alina to lose control.
"Abby."
"Penny," said Alina, choking.
As smart as that child is, she's only over three years old, although she can come from Shirling to Ingford.
But exactly because that path was so familiar to her.
Now she was a complete stranger in Ingford. She knew Shirling well and had been with Yanis until she arrived at Ingford Airport.
Alina's mind was all confused and she didn't even know how she got into the car with Chester to the Collins Castle.
When they arrived at the Collins Castle, it was already in a mess. The butler said that the child had disappeared after Caleb had made a trip back.
"Alina, Alina, I ..." Vanessa was now trembling with anger, and her body had gone limp with weakness.
Julia had already gone to look for the child, and all the people who could be sent throughout the Collins Castle had been sent out to look for her.
Vanessa, on the other hand, was already completely about to collapse.
When Alina heard that Caleb had come back for a trip and the child was gone, her world collapsed at that moment.
"It's him, it must be him." Apart from him, Alina could not think of anyone else.
What exactly is he up to?
Why did he take away the child? And with what purpose?
Chester picked up the phone and called Caleb, however, like Penny's phone, it was unreachable and not in service.
So, who would believe that Penny is not with Caleb now?
"This bastard." Vanessa was even more furious that her brain was hurting.
This bastard has done such a thing.
Chester called Ronan, and now the situation was, apparently, out of control.
No one knows why Caleb took the child away, or even what his purpose was.
These various factors are now so intertwined and chaotic that it is difficult to sort them out.
Alina shivered, "Does he know something?"
What do we know?
Does Alina mean that Caleb already knows that the child is his?
With these words, the originally chaotic scene was instantly silenced. All eyes looked towards Alina.
Vanessa's heart jumped up into her throat, "That's impossible, we didn't even tell him, Alina, believe me."
Vanessa looked at Alina.
Although there was something unethical about the matter with Chester, she had never favoured Caleb when it came to the child.
It seemed to her that disregarding his marriage and his pregnant wife was a sin.
The child suffers with such a man.
So even though Alina and Caleb had a messy divorce, Vanessa didn't tell Caleb about the child.
It never occurred to her to use the child to ease their relationship.
Yet now the child is taken away by Caleb, even if it is not confirmed yet.
Basically, it was known that no one else would take that child except Caleb.
