Chapter 3198
"This isn’t your fault." Ellar looked up at Patricia, his eyes serious." But can you promise me that in the future, you won't hide dangerous situations from me?'
This was about Doretta deceiving Emma, not a trap set for them. If it had been a trap, even if Patricia had gone, she might have already fallen into it, and both of them could have been in danger.
"We will find a way to rescue Mrs. Riddle, rest assured," Patricia consoled Ellar.
"Okay." Ellar nodded, his gaze falling on the phone.
What Ellar hoped for now was that his phone would ring, bringing news from Everett. Even if it were a threat, it would be good news for him. As long as Everett was willing to negotiate, Emma would be safe for the time being. Ellar was prepared to give up everything to ensure Emma's safe return.
"Ellar!" The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Emery hurried in.
"Emery." Ellar, looking pale, acknowledged Emery, realizing from his expression that he was aware of the situation.
"Any news yet?" Emery frowned at Ellar.
Ellar shook his head. ' Nothing.'’
"So, we just wait?" Emery was visibly frustrated.
"There's no other choice." Ellar said resignedly, knowing they couldn't even dare to search extensively for Emma, fearing it might provoke Everett into doing something drastic.
"Emery," Dexter followed in, trying to calm him, "I told you to not panic just yet."
"Dad, you're here too." Ellar's eyes reddened slightly, feeling he had let Dexter and Emery down.
"Don't worry, Everett will contact you. Whatever he wants, you agree to it. We must ensure your mother comes back safely," Dexter advised Ellar. He knew that they had no other demands now; the safe return of Emma was all that mattered.
