Chapter 144 The Kidnapping
Becky looked at Cason with some displeasure. “Is there something wrong?”
He was so upset after answering the phone. They guessed that something serious was going on.
Kaliyah also looked at him. He had mentioned Ainsley’s name. She was very sensitive to
that name now.
“Ainsley is missing,” Cason said.
Thinking about what Matteo had just said. He subconsciously looked at Kaliyah. “Do you know where she is?”
“Cason! What do you mean by asking me that? How could I possibly know where she is?” Kaliyah grimaced.
Cason smiled apologetically. “Kaitlin did something wrong before, and I’m afraid she’ll repeat the same mistake.”
Kaliyah gave him a disgruntled look. Receiving Becky’s look, she calmed down again. “Cason, I was just angry because you wronged me without even thinking about it. You know what I am. How could I possibly do such a thing? I’ve been with you today. It’s not me. You know the attitude of the Easton family towards Manuel. Matteo does not approve of Ainsley and Manuel being together. Maybe Ainsley has gone to Manuel.”
But Cason always thought it wasn’t that simple. If Ainsley was really at Manuel’s, Matteo couldn’t have called him. He thought about it and called Kaitlin again.
“Where are you now?”
The voice on Kaitlin’s side was loud, with singing coming from it. “Cason, I’m at home.”
Cason sounded cold. “A lie. Where the hell are you?”
“I’m at the club.”
“Have you seen Ainsley?” Cason asked straightforwardly.
Kaitlin seemed to think for a long time before answering, “No, how could I have seen that
***. Hasn’t she gone back to the Easton’s house? Don’t mention her to me.”
Before Cason could say anything, someone called out to Kaitlin and told her to have a few more drinks. “I’m busy right now. I’m not talking to you.”
Hanging up the phone, Cason calmly looked at the phone for a moment. It wasn’t Kaitlin.
There was silence in the living room. Kaliyah looked at her parents’ expressions with some embarrassment. She tugged on Cason’s shirt. “Cason, this is the Easton family’s family business, and we have little to do with it. Did you forget that you came here today to talk to my parents? Don’t keep meddling in the Easton family’s business.”
Cason then came back to his senses, turned his phone off and apologized again and again. But in reality, he didn’t listen to every word Becky and Bryan said. He kept thinking
about Ainsley.
With the Easton family’s ability, it was easy to find a person in Seattle. How could they not find her and ask him? It only meant that Matteo didn’t have a clue either.
Kaliyah was on the verge of an emotional outburst. Her mom had talked to Cason a lot, but he was lost in his mind as if he wasn’t listening.
Matteo had already said at the press conference that Ainsley had nothing more to do with the Baldry family. She had also planned to stop caring about Ainsley and focus on being with Cason.
But now, with just one phone call, he was so concerned about Ainsley, even questioning her and his sister over Ainsley!
“Cason, stop thinking about Ainsley!” She yelled.
Bryan and Becky both looked at Kaliyah with distress, while Cason stood up sharply. “I’m sorry, Kaliyah, Mom and Dad. I’m busy right now. I’ll come back another time to
apologize.”
He said and walked out of the villa without looking back, followed by Kaliyah’s shout,
“Where are you going?”
He ignored it and was in no mood to care. He called Matteo.
When he got into the car, he could not calm down. He had tried his best to control his emotions, not thinking about Ainsley or her disappearance. But the more he controlled himself not to think about her, the more he couldn’t help worrying about her.
