Eric looked at Mitchell and said with a cold tone, “We’ll withdraw the charges when the Yeagers officially withdraw from the project.”
Mitchell nodded. Just then, his phone rang.
It was from the driver who was in charge of picking Chance up from school and sending him home.
“Mr. Crawford, is the young master home yet?”
Mitchell paused. “What do you mean? School hasn’t ended yet…”
The driver was silent for a few seconds before he said with a cautious tone, “The young master had a field trip today, so they ended half a day early. I couldn’t pick him up at the time, so I asked him to take a taxi home by himself. He didn’t go back?”
Mitchell’s expression changed dramatically. His gaze shifted to Eric and secretly cursed the driver a million times.
“What was more important than picking him up? Do you not want your job anymore?!”
The driver hesitated and said, “I… I’ll look for him now…”
Mitchell immediately hung up the phone and looked at Eric, trying to remain calm.
“Mr. Ferguson, I’ll go out and make a phone call.”
Eric nodded and rubbed his temples.
“Ask the bodyguards to look for him. This kid is so troublesome!”
Mitchell went out with a pale face.
He called Chance, but no one answered.
Mitchell also could not find Chance’s location.
Thus, he called the school to get a copy of the surveillance footage. He saw that Chance had gotten into a taxi and left, but the license plate number of that taxi could not be seen clearly in the video.
Mitchell quickly called the police for help to watch the surveillance cameras on the street.
Time passed by every minute while Mitchell was sweating profusely because of fear and nervousness.
Soon, it was time to get off work.
At dusk, the sun shone through the treetops and the glass window into the office.
Eric came out of his office with a cold expression.
“Have you found him yet?”
For the first time, Mitchell felt powerless and shook his head.
“Could it be the Yeagers…?”
Eric frowned, remained silent for a few seconds, and denied it.
“He won’t dare.”
Although Larry was ambitious and displeased with Eric, Larry would not put himself in this situation.
Larry would not ruin his future for immediate interests.
He knew that if he laid a hand on Chance, the price he would have to pay would be far more than the profit of this project.
The Yeagers could not afford the consequences.
Cindy was young, so her emotions might overcome her reason.
It was very likely that she would kidnap Chance. However, she was still being interrogated at the police station.
Thus, she had no chance of doing something like this.
Soon, Mitchell’s phone rang.
After the other party said a few words, Mitchell’s complexion gradually improved. Finally, he relaxed completely.
He hung up the phone and looked at Eric.
“They found him. He’s in Ms. Nelson’s bar.”
Eric’s expression was complicated and serious for a moment.
Mitchell pursed his lips. “I’ll pick him up!”
“No need. I’ll go.”
As Eric said this, he took the car keys and left.
