Rose slumped to the ground, silent for a moment before she remembered her eldest son Khalil was skilled in technology. She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed his number.
The phone was answered quickly.
A soft and calm voice came through the phone, giving Rose hope once again.
"Mommy."
Rose's grip on the phone tightened as she spoke. "Sweetheart, where are you right now?"
"At home."
Khalil stopped what he was doing and obediently answered.
He had been dealing with company matters recently, while the revenge plan against his father was proceeding as expected according to his plans.
Hearing Khalil's voice made Rose feel warm inside and her face softened along with it.
"Sweetheart, Mommy is facing some difficulties and needs your help."
The little guy on the other end of the line frowned slightly with concern. "Mommy, what happened?"
Rose's voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "Mommy met up with your uncle earlier today; we suspect that one of his colleagues drugged him which caused him to lose control."
"But when I went to your uncle's company," she continued, "that person had resigned."
"Sweetheart," Rose asked anxiously. "Can you find out where that person went?"
As soon as she finished speaking, sweat appeared on her hand holding onto her phone.
Her heart raced as she waited for Khalil's response - afraid that he might not be able to find anything or worse yet - unable to her brother from harm's way.
Just then, when Rose began worrying too much about it, Khalil's soft voice came through once more from the other end of the line.
"What is that person's name?" he asked calmly.
"Preston Mcknight," replied Rose without hesitation. quickly revealing who framed her brother.
Her words had just fallen when her eldest son's voice followed, "Mom, wait a moment."
The sound of keys being typed on the phone echoed through.
After about ten minutes, the typing gradually ceased, and Khalil's voice resounded again -
"Mom, the guy is no longer in A City."
Upon hearing this, Rose's heart tightened, and her hand holding the phone instinctively clenched.
Upon hearing this, Rose's heart tightened even more, and her hand holding the phone unconsciously clenched.
"Then where is he now?" she asked anxiously.
"Where is he now?"
"He's in a town in South Eskeau, but the exact location is still unclear. I need some time," Khalil replied.
Khalil furrowed his brow and continued typing on his keyboard, the sound of the keys echoing in the room.
Rose pursed her lips and spoke gently, "If you have any news, contact Mommy."
