Chapter 111 It Was Fate
Thinking back to Fiona’s frustration at the time, Wendy couldn’t help but laugh. “Yeah,” she said.
So Aimee really might have had something to do with Caesar.
They couldn’t say for sure. Everything had to wait until Aimee was safely rescued.

By the end of the workday, there was still no news from Waylon. The three of them decided to change locations and wait elsewhere. Chase had something to talk to Blanc about and told the two women to go ahead.
“Today, Mr. Fred and the others are out catching the suspects,” Chase said. “Keep a close eye on Sean. If he answers a call and his movements seem suspicious, have security pin him down immediately. Sean probably knows more than Madeline does.”
Blanc gave an okay gesture and asked, “They haven’t caught him yet?”
“Still no word,” Chase replied. “They’re setting up everything. It shouldn’t be a big issue. It’s just that Aimee’s identity is questionable. We need her alive.”
“Rescue’s not easy, but I believe in Mr. Fred’s ability,” Blanc said.
Everything outside moved at a surprisingly fast pace. By the time Aimee returned home, it was already the middle of the night.
Chase and Wendy were waiting in the dining room for news. Even Fiona had gone home.
“Safe,” Waylon texted Chase.
Wendy looked at the message, a little hesitant. “Should we tell Caesar? Is it too soon?”
“I think we shouldn’t get Caesar’s hopes up for nothing,” Chase said. “Aimee was treated at our hospital before. We have her blood type on file. Try to get a strand of Caesar’s hair. Cloud Hospital can run the test. Just bring it straight to me.”
Wendy nodded.
Aimee was brought back to her own house. She cried in her parents‘ arms for a long time. Waylon and Ryan stood nearby the entire time. Aimee’s parents repeatedly thanked every member of the task force.
Once things calmed down, Waylon said, “Ms. Aimee, please go to your room and try to recall the details. Lily, you’ll take her statement. Mr. Mike, we still have a few questions for you.”
“Yes, of course. Aimee, go ahead to your room. The officer will go with you,” Mike said quickly.
Aimee wasn’t actually scared. After working in foreign media for so many years, she had long gotten used to situations like this.
“Is Ms. Aimee your biological daughter?” Waylon asked directly.
Aimee’s parents froze, then looked at each other in disbelief. They clearly hadn’t expected Waylon to ask something like that.
