Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1728

Lucas’ eyes turned wintry.

“This still cannot prove that Yasmeen has something to do with Zoe’s disappearance.”

“How can you still protect her at a time like this? Then let me ask you, did Yasmeen tell you that she called Zoe?”

Lucas didn’t answer Mark’s question.

“No, right? So, why didn’t she tell you? I don’t believe that she didn’t know that Zoe had gone missing. Lucas, this isn’t as simple as you think!”

Mark stared at Lucas and said a bit mournfully, “I don’t want to intervene in your relationship matter, but Yasmeen is not a normal person. Not to mention that she appeared in the kidnapping scene, a critical moment. It doesn’t matter if you were careless because of her or not, this matter would be investigated anyways. But Lucas, you are not new at this. Do I really have to tell you how grave the situation is?”

“I trust her!”

Mark was floored by Lucas’ three simple words.

He thought that Lucas and Yasmeen never got along.

But now, he didn’t know what to say to Lucas after seeing the determined look in his eyes.

“Lucas…”

“I did delete the data on the surveillance camera. I have nothing to say if the higher-ups want to punish or fire me. I was careless, but it had nothing to do with anyone. It was just my mistake. If a sniper was affected by other things so easily, then they shouldn’t be a sniper. Even if I get fired or have to resign, it will be on me. But I really don’t believe that Yasmeen is behind Zoe’s disappearance. She is arrogant and overbearing, and just like you say, she is a foreigner and has a different identity. But even so, I believe her. I also believe that our feelings are real and mutual. I believe that she wouldn’t hurt my family and that she didn’t tell me about why she was at the kidnapping scene, just because she didn’t want me to be in a dilemma. Uncle Mark, Zoe isn’t a mindless and helpless girl, she can protect herself. I think something is going on and that’s why she hasn’t contacted us until now. I believe that she isn’t kidnapped.”

Mark suddenly had nothing to say after hearing Lucas analyze the situation acutely.

He looked at Lucas, he just stared at him.

Even though he was trying to give Lucas the pressure from an experienced supervisor, it didn’t affect Lucas at all. Lucas was just sitting there quietly with his back straight as if he was a pine tree. Strong and unaffected, and admirable.

“You really believe that Zoe wasn’t kidnapped?”

“How many people in the world can manage to kidnap Zoe?”

Mark had a sudden realization after listening to what Lucas said.”

The enemy might be trying to cause chaos from within.

Zoe was the precious daughter of the Green family, loved and protected by everyone of the family. Everything would go haywire if something happened to her. But because of that, Lucas steeled his heart and made Zoe learn some self-defense skills from him.

And now, she was one of the top kickboxers in the world. With such skills, it would be hard for someone to kidnap her.

“Even so, let’s say Zoe is safe, but what about Yasmeen appearing…”

“I’m on it.”

“What do you mean that you’re on it? Lucas, I didn’t summon you here for you to solve this matter. Do you really think that Morty can protect you from everything? You stay here and don’t go anywhere in the next few days. I’ll take care of things outside. All necessities are prepared here, food and clothes for example. I will also send someone over to check your ears. Anyways, for the time being, don’t get in contact with Yasmeen in any way. There’s no signal here for phones or computers, so don’t think of using your skills to plot something.”

Lucas wasn’t frustrated at all upon hearing what Mark said. He just replied casually, “Uncle Mark, you mean that you’re locking me up?”

“Lock you up? Well, anything that floats your boat. In any case, you cannot go out. One more thing, Penny. I heard that she is trying to make you marry her?”

“Yeah.”

Lucas wasn’t trying to keep this a secret.

Since Penny wanted it, her mother would definitely suggest this to the higher-ups. His immediate supervisor was Morty, but somehow, Mark replaced Morty’s position for the time being.
