Chapter 219
The baby was gone, and Bora felt like her whole world was collapsing
She still hadn’t gotten over losing her son. If her granddaughter was gone too, she wouldn’t be able to face Steven when she died. She wouldn’t be able to go on.
Evan closed his eyes.
Dora’s voice shook. “No matter what, tell her not to hurt the baby. Whatever she wants, we’ll give it to her.”
Evan shot her a cold look. “Now you’re willing to give?”
Just then, one of the security staff shouted, “We found it. This is the person who took the baby.”
The second he said it, everyone’s eyes snapped to the surveillance screen.
In the footage, a tall man in a baseball cap was carrying the baby away.
Even with the cap pulled low, it didn’t cover his face completely. From the visible outline alone, it was clear enough that he was from Eirden.
Dora’s expression changed. “An Eirden man?”
The words hit Evan like a blow.
Something exploded in his head.
Summer’s voice came out shaky with tears. “An Eirden man? Then that means someone from Stella’s side
…”
She stopped there.
Then she looked at Evan with tear-filled eyes.
Dora remembered too. “See? I told you it was her, and you wouldn’t believe me. It is her!”
“She had people from Eirden around her before. Of course it’s her. What exactly is she trying to do?”

In an instant, all Evan could hear was Dora’s accusations and Summer’s crying.
Because the person in the footage was from Eirden, Stella was immediately branded the mastermind.
Summer burst out, “I’m calling the police. I’m calling them right now!”
Her hands were shaking as she grabbed for her phone.
Before she could dial, it was snatched out of her hand.
Evan had taken it.
She looked up at him, trembling. “Steven, our daughter could die. She was taken by someone who doesn’t even know how to care for a child. She really could die.”
“I already called the police before I came.”

“Then …
“I’ll give you a definite answer as to whether she took the child.”
He put the phone back into Summer’s hand.
Her lips trembled. “You…”
“Don’t tell the police it was her. Let them investigate it properly. Understood?”
That last word was especially firm.
Dora was furious. “Why not tell the police? That’s an important lead. It could shorten the investigation.”
She didn’t agree at all.
As she spoke, she reached for her own phone to call the police herself.
But before she could make the call, Evan took her phone too.
Dora exploded. “What are you doing?”
“If it really was her, I’ll bring the child back to you myself.”
Every word came out clipped and hard.
Dora felt like she couldn’t breathe. “You’re still protecting her?”
“This is not the time for you to protect her!”
She shouted outright now.
Before Evan could answer, she went on, “That baby isn’t even a month old. She’s already been missing for
