The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 731

Catherine opened the door. The two people standing outside stared at her, their mouths opening and closing as if words failed them.

"Come in," Catherine said. Unsure of how to address them, she simply pulled the door wide open and gestured them inside.

They stepped into the villa. The Lees took a seat on the sofa while Catherine prepared some coffee at the kitchen island.

After a suffocating silence, Davis finally spoke. "We're here today because of Lorinda and Jasper."

Catherine paused her pouring. "What happened to them?"

"Yesterday was the day Lorinda was officially welcomed back into the family. We took her and Jasper back to the main estate. The Lee family has hundreds of members, and with so many people around, things were chaotic. We took our eyes off him for just a moment... and Jasper vanished."

Davis's handsome face twisted with guilt and frustration.

Latonia burst into tears.

Only then did Catherine notice how pale they both looked. Their eyes were bloodshot and swollen from crying.

Her mind went blank. The hot water overflowed from the cup, spilling over the edge of the counter and splashing onto her dress.

The scalding heat snapped Catherine back to reality. She jolted up, grabbing a towel to dab at the wet fabric as she stepped away from the counter.

"Jasper is missing?!"

She had imagined countless reasons why the Lees would show up at her door. But this... this was a nightmare she hadn't anticipated.

Latonia sobbed uncontrollably, unable to form a coherent sentence.

"Do you have any leads?" Catherine demanded, her tone laced with urgency.

Davis nodded, forcing himself to remain calm. "Geoffrey took him. He sent someone today with a message—if we want Jasper back safely, Lorinda needs to come to you."

The implication was clear. Geoffrey would only release the boy if Catherine returned to the Lee family, acting as his pawn to seize the inheritance.
