CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 The Boys Are Missing

The Keaton family’s network access was suddenly cut off.

A few minutes later, the electricity was also cut off.

The servants complained, “What’s going on?”

“Even the monitors and the smart locks blackout.”

“Oh no, the fish in the thermotank is dying.”

“Lock up the backyard least the animals should run away!”

Edwin loved animals since childhood, so he kept many of them in the backyard.

They were not ordinary pets but ferocious beasts.

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

They were kept in a private zoo in the backyard. It would incur serious consequences if

the animals ran off and hurt people.

The servants were panicking because of the unprecedented electricity cut–off.

At first, they counted on backup generators.

But now even the backup generators did not work.

“We shall check the electric net.”

“Then go over and check it out.”

“Yes, sir.”

The servants went around in a mess.

And the children were left alone.

“Alex, we succeed. Let’s run away,” said Bruce happily.

“Sure.”

They packed up and crept out of the room.

Around the house was a large open ground of greenery.

Since the surveillance cameras did not work, Alex and Bruce soon came to the first door.

Several security guards at the door were checking the electric net. No one noticed the

two children slipping out from the fence.

“Alex, watch out.”

“Shh, be quiet. We should avoid attention.”

The boys went along the wall all the way to the second door.

The second and third doors were 1,500 feet apart.

In between was an exquisite garden, planted with all kinds of precious flowers.

It would be hard to find an adult hiding in it, let alone two little children.

“Alex, there are three exits. Where should we go?”

“There are fewer people here. It should be the back door.”

“Let’s go through the back door.”

“Okay.”

Out from the second door, Alex and Bruce walked on a quiet path.

The path was indeed leading to the back door.

Outside the back door was the private mountain.

Out there was a private island with many wild birds.

Alex and Bruce walked for quite a while before arriving at the back door.

They climbed out of the wall easily without being seen.

“Funny that they thought they could lock us up.”

“Let’s go home and look for Mommy.”

“I haven’t seen Mommy and Ann for so long. I miss them so much.”

“Me too.”

They climbed up the mountain.

At first, the road was wide.

However, soon the road became narrower and harder to walk.

“Alex, have we picked the wrong direction?”

“Why is there no bus?”

Alex looked around and also wondered, “Yeah. It’s so strange.”

“The house is too big. Don’t they have any neighbors?”

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s walk on. Maybe there is a bus stop ahead. If there is no bus, we

will take a taxi.”

“Okay.”

Thus, they walked hand in hand.

In the Keaton family’s residence.

Soon, the engineer solved the problem.

By then, half an hour had passed.

“Heavens, Alex and Bruce are lost.”

The servant Adi brought cakes to the children’s room but found the boys were gone.

“Are they in the backyard?”

“No, I’ve searched the gardens and the rooms nearby without avail.”

“Look for them!”

“Quick, call the security department for help.”

The house was in panic again. Dozens of servants set out to look for the boys.

An hour later.

The search brought no results.

“Heavens, what should we do?”

“How could they disappear in a while?”

“Did they sneak out?”

“They are so little. How could they possibly get out of this big house?”

“Oh no, we will be severely punished.”
