313.Chapter 313
Stella’s heart was racing as she yelled, “Are you useless or what? Can’t even watch a kid for a second? How could he just vanish into thin air?”
The maid said, “It’s the weekend, so after breakfast at home like usual, I took him to the playground at the mall.
“There were tons of kids there today. I was watching him play with the others, and he was having a great time. Then my phone rang, and I only answered for a couple of minutes. When I looked back, he was gone.
“We’ve searched everywhere, but there’s still no sign of him.”
“Did you even call the cops, you useless idiot?” Stella snapped, her voice sharp with panic.
“Ms. Weston, I already called the police,” the maid cried, her voice trembling with fear, totally panicked and clueless about what to do now.
Stella was caught completely off guard by this sudden disaster.
David was her only leverage over Easton. If anything happened to him, she’d have nothing left to rely on, and Easton would probably end up resenting her for it. After all, David was the only family Murray had left in this world.
But Stella was almost at her destination. She thought, ‘What am I supposed to do now?’
“Call my father right now and tell him to do whatever it takes to help find David. Do you hear me?” Stella ordered, her voice sharp and urgent.
“Yes, Ms. Weston,” the maid replied, her voice trembling.
Stella thought to herself, ‘Now that I’m in Japoria, I’m this close to tracking down Sophia’s child. No way I’m giving up on such a golden opportunity.
With George in Jenston, Stella was sure he’d be able to find David in no time.
So, she didn’t tell the driver to change course. They just kept heading straight for their destination.
When Stella finally arrived at the spot, she rushed out of the car and reached out to her contact. She demanded, “Tell me, where’s the kid right now?”
The contact said, “You’re too late. His family came and took him away early this morning. They were carrying several suitcases.”
Stella was so mad that she could scream.
“Did they say where they were going?” she demanded.
Her contact just shook his head.
Stella was burning with frustration, her fists clenched so hard that her nails dug deep into her palms. She just couldn’t accept this.
She cursed inwardly, ‘Sophia, you bitch, you always manage to slip away before I can catch you.
‘No way your luck is that good. Even if we can’t dig up anything about the kid, I’ll find a way to spread the word that Derrick have a child together.’

Stella glared back at the house, realizing it was pointless to stick around. Without wasting another second, she jumped into the car and ordered the driver to head straight for the airport.
Just as she got back to the airport, her phone rang. It was Alex.
Alex said, “Stella, we went through all that trouble to get you the info on Sophia and Derrick’s kid, and not only did you screw up finding their child, you even managed to lose your own.
“How did the Weston family end up with someone as useless as you?”
Stella was already in a foul mood, and now Alex was chewing her out on top of it; she was fuming. She shot a glare at the driver, pretty sure he was the one who snitched to Alex about them not finding Sophia’s kid.
But she didn’t dare talk back to Alex. Right now, both the Weston family and she herself still had to rely on him, so she just bit her tongue and took Alex’s harsh words in silence.
Alex continued, “Stella, Dad’s already sent people out to look but there’s still no trace of your kid. We just got some
