Chapter 745 Whose Daughter Is She
Father? Men who come to this place are most likely scoundrels.
Josie sighed quietly. The child looks too young to be roaming alone. How can her parents allow this?
She was worried that something might happen to the child. Thus, she smiled and offered, “Where is your father? I’ll bring you to him.”
The girl considered seriously before standing on tiptoes and pressing the button for the first level of the basement. “My father is here. Thank you for accompanying me, miss!”
“What a sweet girl.”
The elevator was narrow and felt unsafe. Josie noticed the girl seemed afraid and instinctively tugged her shirt as they rode the elevator. She was exceedingly quiet for a young child.
Josie’s heart softened. She recalled the baby she miscarried. Then, she stooped to the girl’s level. “Where’s your mother? Did you come here alone?”
The girl clenched her fingers and nodded. She was very well–spoken for her age. “Everyone said my father is busy. That’s why I secretly escaped to bring my father home so he could rest.“.
Josie frowned with worry for the girl. “You must be careful. Your father would be sad if bad guys
kidnapped you.”
The girl gave a puzzling reply. “I have a phone. Furthermore, someone would save me if I were in danger.”
Josie frowned in confusion.
She caressed the girl’s rosy cheeks and advised, “Don’t do something like this again.”
The girl nodded. Loneliness written all over her face.
The elevator soon arrived at the first level of the basement. Josie held her out hand and glanced at the surroundings. It was strangely silent. “Do you know where your father is?”
The girl held Josie’s hand and led her in a direction.
The place was silent and bright. There were antiques on display wherever they walked, reminding Josie of museums. Each item was worth enough money for an ordinary family to live off for their whole lives.
Josie’s heartbeat quickened.
The girl paused and pushed open the door with some difficulty. A tall and burly man stood before the large floor–to–ceiling window, making an international call on his handphone. The girl looked at him and shouted, “Daddy!”
Then, she heard the man speaking through a voice–altering device. “You are to sell them when the market rate stops rising.”
However, Josie suddenly noticed Mr. Vipera standing beside Wayne.
Why is Mr. Vipera here? Who is that masked man? He seems to be the girl’s father. Is he also Wayne?
“Ms. Dalton?”
