Chapter 194
Valeria suddenly calmed down because she felt that Barron was the one who had most likely taken Alex away.
“When will we have some clues about where Alex is?”
Hackett was silent for a few seconds before saying. “Tomorrow morning.”
Tonight, he had to first find out if Alex had been taken away by his grandfather.
One night…
Alright, Valeria felt that it was acceptable to wait for a night. If Alex was by Barron’s side, she would be relieved.
Tm a bit tired. Maybe I should go back home and wait for your news.”
Valeria stood up and was about to leave. On the other hand, her sudden calmness caught Hackett off guard.
“Let me drive you back home.”
Valeria said, “I am good. Would you mind asking Tyler to send me back home? Please do everything you can to find Alex. I’TI
home and wait for your news. I can’t help much here. Instead I’ll cause trouble for you.”
She just didn’t want to affect Hackett’s search for Alex.
it was obvious that Hackett did not want her to know that his grandfather had taken Alex away and wanted to protect his grandfather’s image. In that case, she might as well pretend not to know.
She just needed him to bring Alex back to her side. As long as she could have her son, she did not care about the process.
Tll have Tyler take you back.”
Hackett did not say anything else. If Valeria was not around, it would indeed give him a lot of time to negotiate with his grandfather.
She smiled with a tired face, nodded, and turned to walk out of the monitoring room.
Hackett looked at her lonely back and felt bad for her.
The only thing he wanted now was to find his son back.
Valeria sat in the car, holding her chin and looking at the night scenery outside the window.
Her eyes were empty.
Tyler, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing Valeria’s lifeless expression, he said, “Ms–Sharp, don’t worry. We’ll find Alex
Tyler only wanted to comfort her.
Valeria smiled weakly. “I know Hackett will find Alex. And he’ll find him tomorrow morning, but it depends on whether he’s willing or not,”
“What do you mean by that,
Why did it sound like Mr. James knew who took Alex away? Could it be that Mr. James didn’t look for Alex on purpose?
Tyler felt that there was a hidden meaning in Valeria’s words.

Valeria smiled and shook her head. “Nothing. Would you please drive faster? I’m a little tired. I want to go back and have
Some res
All Valeria wanted now was to go home and get some sleep. Sleeping meant not having to worry every second of every minute. She hoped that when she woke up tomorrow, she might open her eyes to find Alex standing by her bedside, holding his feeding bottle and drinking milk.
Tyler found that Valeria looked very strange at that moment.
After sending Valeria home, he called Mr. James and soon heard his voice.
“Is she home now!”
any you think to
“I just dropped Ms. Sharp, but Mr. James, I think she is in a strange state. She looks very relaxed as if she’s not nervous or worried at all.
Hackett was left speechless.
He went silent for a few seconds before saying, “Got it. Come back. I need you to do something for me.”
Tyler then drove back to the amusement park.
Ding–dong!
The doorbell rang. When Ella saw that it was Valeria, she hurriedly opened the door. Much to her surprise, Valeria walked into the house listlessly.
“Where’s Alex, Valeria? Why did you come back alone?”
Ella thought that Hacken would quickly find Alex, and Valeria would come back with her son.
T
Valeria sighed deeply as if she was very tired. Lying on the sofa, she said, Tim still looking for Alex. Let’s see if there’s a news tomorrow. I’m tired. I’ll go back to my room to sleep first. Don’t wake me up for food. I want to sleep till tomorrow morning
Okay…
Ella looked at her as if she had lost her soul. Valeria got up weakly and returned to her room before closing the door.
In her room, Valeria lay on the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.
Hopefully, by the time she woke up, Alex would be at home.
She prayed that Barron would be willing to send her son back to her side.
On the other side, Hackett and Tyler still had not left.
After Valeria was sent home. Hackett asked Tyler to continue checking the surveillance cameras in the amusement park to see if he could find any clues.
He went straight to the old mansion, wanting to have a talk with his grandfather.
The car slowed to a stop in the garage.
Hackett got out of the car and walked into the old mansion. When Alfred saw him, he went forward to greet him, “Mr. Hackett, what brings you here? Mr. Barron is painting in the study. You can go straight to him.”
Hackett looked at Alfred in front of him and said in a deep voice. “Alfred, tell me the truth. Is Alex here? Has Grandpa hidden him again?

Alfred replied sternly, “Mr–Hackett, you’ve misunderstood your grandfather. Last time, it was indeed he who hid the child. but this time he hasn’t. He’s been deeply affected by those word you said to him over the phone last time. He hasn’t left the old mansion for many days and has neglected his great–grandson. He spends his days painting, saying he misses your father.”
Hackett did not know what to say.
Could he have seriously misunderstood Barron!
However, who else in Alcomara had the ability to make a person lisappear in an instant?
No matter how he thought about it, the most likely person to take Alex away was still his grandfather.
It was worth noting that Barron had a group of highly skilled bodyguards. Taking a child away in broad daylight and avoiding surveillance wouldn’t be difficult for them.
He headed straight for the study.
He walked in front of the study. The door was ajar, and he could see Barron was focused on the painting before him
Hackett knocked on the door.
He heard his grandfather’s voice from inside. “Come in.”
He pushed open the study door and walked in. He sat on a mahogany chair at the side and looked at his grandfather, who was painting. He said in a low voice, ‘Grandpa, I heard that you haven’t left the house for many days.”
Barron looked up at him and snorted. “It’s none of your business Do you still care about me? I think you can’t wait for me to die. Also, why did you shout at me on the phone just now? What makes you think that I took Alex away? Also, can’t you guys take care of Alex properly? Did you say that he was missing? Do you think I am responsible for his missing every time?”
Hackett answered, “It’s not that I want to doubt you, but your attitude is a bit abnormal. That’s the great–grandson you’ve
at all. been looking forward to for so many years. I just told you that Alex can’t be found, but you’re actually not anxi Does it mean he is in your hands now!”
Barron retorted, “Why wouldn’t I be anxious? I’ve already sent people to look for him. But being anxious doesn’t help at all You’ve nearly driven me mad. I don’t think I have much time left
