The moment they landed, they went straight to the prison. Rebecca revealed her identity as Soren’s daughter and asked to see him.
As expected, Soren had already been released on bail.
“I just got back from overseas,” she said frantically. “May I ask who arranged the bail for my dad?”
The officer told her it had been done through a lawyer. Soren’s family hired one and paid the bail
It didn’t make sense. If they were willing to spend the money, Soren would have been out long ago. They hadn’t done so or sought a lawyer because they didn’t have the funds.
It all pointed to one fact. Someone else had footed the bill.
“I know who it was,” she muttered soullessly, sinking on the curb outside.
“Vance?” Desmond guessed quietly.
Rebecca pulled out her phone, stared at the long string of missed calls, and dialed back.
Vance answered almost instantly, his voice bright with surprise and joy. “Rebecca, you’re back? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? I’d have picked you up. Where are you right now? I’ll be right there.”
“Where is Josette?” She demanded, not interested in his topic.
“Josette?” He blinked. “You hid her from me. Why ask me now?”
“Tell me where Josette is!” she yelled.
He paused, turning serious. “What are you talking about? What happened? Is she okay?”
“She went missing! Where did you take her? Tell me!” she cried out, her heart twisted in knots.
