Zachary got his men over immediately after he hung up, “Ben, Ben!”
“I’m here,” replied Ben as he rushed over and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Nacht?”
“Someone from the Nacht family seemed to have taken Ellie away,” answered Zachary before he ordered hurriedly, “Investigate the matter right away. Look into whether Zara had any allies who had recently entered the city. Also, have our men investigate Peter!”
“Understood,” replied Ben, whose expression took a drastic change after he heard what had happened. He was quick to carry his tasks out.
Zachary went to look for Spencer and asked the latter to manage the funeral before he told Raina to keep an eye on both Robbie and Jamie. He left with his men immediately after.
Spencer didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that things must be grave. That was why he pulled himself back together and went to the hall to greet and chat with everyone.
Robbie and Jamie waited for a long time, but Ellie never showed up, so they went to ask their dad about it. That was when they learned that he had gone to work.
Jamie frowned and complained, “Why is Daddy working at a time like this?”
Robbie, however, was quietly examining everything. He noticed how Spencer, who had been ill and therefore been resting in the room, had suddenly shown up to deal with the guests. Bruce, Ben, and Marino were gone as well, and Raina was the only babysitter there. She seems on edge and is keeping a close eye on us…
All those hints told the boy that something bad had happened.
He walked to a corner and used his smartwatch to call Ellie, but no one picked up.
That prompted him to call Olivia instead. No one answered either.
Robbie’s expression turned grim. He wanted to call his Mommy, but he decided against it just before he made the call.
Mommy and Daddy are probably busy dealing with this, so it’s best if I don’t distract them.
“Robbie, what’s wrong?” asked Jamie nervously, “You look off. Did something happen?”
“It’s fine,” cooed Robbie, “Mommy and Daddy are busy, and that’s probably why Ellie is late.”
