When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 Pretty Clever
Scarface immediately refused.

“You're trying to use my phone to call the police, aren't you? Kid, you're pretty clever.”

“Mister, I just want to play a game, not make a call.”

Jonathan's eyes were full of sincerity.

Scarface wasn't easily fooled, though. “Shut up. Say another word, and I'll sew your mouth shut.”

Jonathan had no choice but to give up and looked around for any chance to escape.

Yet, there wasn't any.

He was just a child, and dealing with a man like Scarface was already difficult, not to mention the other people with him.

The only option left was to try and get a message to Zachary about where he was being held.

As he hadn't returned last night, Zachary and the others were likely still looking for him.

However, with Scarface showing no mercy, it was impossible to get access to any communication devices. Jonathan had to figure out another way, perhaps through the other people involved.

At Sinclair Manor, chaos broke out. When George learned that Jonathan was missing, he issued a strict order that no matter what, even if they had to turn Tudela upside down, they had to find Jonathan.

“Who dares to go against the Sinclair family? If I find out who's behind this, I'll skin them alive,” George declared with a vicious glare.

Then he turned and scolded Zachary, “The kid was in the bathroom for two hours, and you didn't even bother to check on him. How careless can you be?”

Zachary was in a complete mess. Not only had he developed a bond with Jonathan, but the child was also Nathaniel's son.

If Nathaniel found out something had happened to his son, Zachary knew he'd be the one skinned alive.

“It was my oversight.”

Zachary frowned. “But it's strange. If they kidnapped a child, isn't it usually for ransom? Why haven't they called for money?”

“Could it be an enemy of yours?” George asked again.

Zachary had more enemies than even Nathaniel.

His expression grew darker.

If it was one of his enemies, Jonathan might already be dead.

“What's the matter?”

“Nathaniel, I lost your son.”

Nathaniel and Cecilia had already returned home.

Hearing Zachary's words, Nathaniel was momentarily confused. What son?

Then, seeing Elliot, he realized.

“You mean Jon?”

“Yes. Yesterday, I took him to the party with me, and while I went to the restroom, someone kidnapped him.”

Nathaniel's expression turned serious.

So the call Cecilia had received about a missing child wasn't about Elliot—it was about Jonathan.

“I understand. Don't tell Cecilia just yet. I'll send my men out immediately to search.”

Cecilia was pregnant, and if she found out Jonathan had been kidnapped, her emotional turmoil could lead to complications.
