There’s something this incredible?” Richard asked. “Where did you buy it?”

Richard had recently opened a new toy manufacturing company, and the device immediately caught his

interest.

I got it from a toy store.”

Vincent glanced at his younger sister but chose not to expose her lie.

Iris activated the teddy bear’s smart recording function and, sure enough, found two video clips.

The first recording showed the moment Emma Barclay was kidnapped.

Everything happened so quickly it was almost instantaneous. The camera spun violently for a moment, and then all that remained on screen was a patch of sky.

“It must have fallen to the side when they grabbed Emma, Eleanor said.

Near the end of the first clip, Chloe’s face appeared in the frame. She picked up the teddy bear, looking visibly panicked.

“That was when I realized Emma had been kidnapped. I was terrified and wanted to call the police.”

Iris opened the second recording.

This one had been filmed inside a delivery truck. The lighting was dim, and the camera angle was low from the front of the vehicle, as if the teddy bear was being held in Emma’s arms.

Three or four men sat together in the back.

Chloe sat near the door with her hands tied, her face filled with fear.

“Can we not watch this part…?”

At the sight of the footage, Chloe seemed to recall some painful memory. She buried her head in her hands and threw herself into Eleanor’s arms.

“Then go back to your room, sweetheart. You don’t have to watch it with us.”

Eleanor gently patted her back.

When that tactic failed to stop the viewing, Chloe had no choice but to stay and continue watching everyone else.

In the video, Chloe initially rema d calm. She even tried negotiating a ransom with the kidnapper

But once she realized they weren’t after money and were actually seeking revenge, panic completely overtook her.

Anyone bold enough to kidnap a member of the Barclay family was the kind of criminal who did are whether they lived or died.

“Please let me go!” Chloe cried in the recording. “I have nothing to do with Ares Barclay! Kidnap Her is enough!”

As the kidnappers discussed what to do with their enemy’s family member, Chloe finally broke dow

tears.

“I only brought her to the amusement park! Let me go! I can help you lure Ares’s fiancée here!”

Outside the video, Emma suddenly shouted.

“Don’t listen to her! My Uncle Ares doesn’t even have a fiancée!”

The footage immediately began shaking violently.

A struggling child could be surprisingly strong. For a moment, every kidnapper rushed over to restrain Emma.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chloe used a pair of scissors hidden in her pocket to cut through her bindings. Before jumping from the moving truck, she snatched the teddy bear from Emma’s hands.

The recording ended there.

By now, Iris had completely pieced together what had happened.

Chloe had originally intended to sacrifice her and save herself. But Emma’s outburst had disrupted the plan and created the perfect opportunity for Chloe to escape.

And before jumping out, she had taken Emma’s teddy bear.

“Chloe, you…” Eleanor stared at her adopted daughter in disbelief. “Were those words really yours?”

Had she failed as a parent somehow?

The Chloe she had raised since childhood–how could she harbor thoughts like that?

Chloe hurriedly defended herself. “I didn’t mean it! I… I was terrified and just said it without thinking! I would never actually trick Iris into going there!”

No matter how she explained herself, she could still see a trace of disappointment in Richard’s and Eleanor’s eyes.

Silence fell over the living room.

“This video shows part of their route,” Iris finally said, breaking the tension. “If we take it to the police and

Eleanor nodded mechanically.

“Right. Right.”
