My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 378

Emma strongly wanted to give her evil brother a powerful slap but remained calm and managed to resist it.

She tried to take her cell phone to ensure Bella still heard them and did something to help her son. But, once more, she holds herself. She clenched her teeth, returned her gaze to the cell phone screen, and saw her son whimpering.

It looks like her son is trying to say something, but Emma can’t hear any sound; the video call is turned off.

"Emma, now you believe me, right!?" Jacob’s voice echoed, breaking the silence in the room. His upper lip lifted slightly to form a satisfied smile when he saw Emma’s eyes radiating anger and fright staring at his phone screen.

A few seconds later, Jacob pulled back his cell phone. "Now you are the one who decides your son’s safety. Tell me which one you choose, Bella’s location or Liam’s leg?" his icy tone returned.

Emma realized that Jacob had not yet disconnected the video call, and this relieved her; Bella had plenty of time to trace the caller.

After some time, Emma finally said something.

"So, you detained my son in his apartment?" Emma asked. She recognized the background where her son was sitting. It was Liam’s living room apartment.

Jacob’s mouth twitched upon hearing that Emma didn’t take his words seriously. She even tried to guess where her son was.

He frowned, narrowing his eyes at her. He was trying to make sure whether his sister was too shocked, causing her brain to act up, or if she didn’t care about her son’s safety anymore.

However, Jacob found nothing after a few more seconds; his sister still appeared calm.

"Emma, this video call is still on. My people are still waiting for you to decide," Jacob said. "I will ask my people to torture your son if you don’t speak now," he could no longer wait.

Jacob began to feel uneasy and suspicious when he saw how calm Emma was now, and the chance of her also stalling was getting more improbable.

"Brother Jacob, why are you in such a rush? Fine, I’ll tell you..." Emma stopped her words when she saw all her brothers’ eyes beamed staring at her. Well, at least she had their attention.

Jacob’s heart raced; he was too happy to hear Emma finally willing to open her mouth. His method finally succeeded.

After turning off the video call, he ordered, "Little sister, you can speak now!"

"Relax, brother Jacob," Emma said as she took her cell phone, trying to maintain her casual expression. She didn’t want to show her happiness when she saw the call still connected to Bella’s phone.

When Emma saw a text message notification, she opened it, but Jacob interrupted her before she could read it.

"What the hell are you doing, Emma?! Are you trying to ask for help?" Jacob angrily asked. "It’s useless, alright!"

Emma pretended to be surprised to hear Jacob’s words. She looked at him with her innocent, confused expression.

"Didn’t you ask about Bella’s location?"

"Yes!"

"Why did you stop me?" Emma’s voice sounded displeased. She tried to unlock her cell phone while continuing her sentence.

"Definitely contact her immediately," Jacob replied. However, before Emma could do so, Jacob stopped her. Again!

"Emma, don’t tell Bella that we asked for her address. Just say you wanted to send her something," Jacob instructed firmly.

"Of course, I won’t. How could Bella tell me her address if I said you asked for it?" Emma replied.

Jacob said nothing. He let Emma do as they asked. Then he turned to look at his brothers with a victorious smile, and they exchanged glances happily. Their plan was a success: luring Bella through Emma.

Emma checked her phone and was surprised that the connection had ended.

However, she found a text message from Bella:

"I sent someone to Liam’s apartment." A wave of relief washed over her when she read Bella’s text.

Adding to her surprise, she realized Bella had sent the message fifteen minutes ago.

’Liam, my son. Please hang in there! You will be fine!’

Emma quickly typed a reply message to Bella.

[Emma] Thank you so much. Please get in touch with me if you find him.
