You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1898

Chapter 1898: Disappearing Together

At dawn the next day, Felix, Vicki, and Luther Joyce gathered together. Joyce, with a pregnant belly, sat on the sofa, propping her chin with one hand, lost in thought, while Luther sat beside her, constantly making phone calls.

After finishing a call, Joyce turned to Luther and asked, "Any news? Any results?"

Luther shook his head. "Nothing at all. I had people check all the surveillance near the schools, but we haven't found any unusual vehicles. Until now, we still don't know how they managed to take the two children out of the school."

Joyce analyzed, "Athena doesn't have the capability or the wit for this. Cloud is no longer here, and I suspect she might have new help around her."

Felix entered at this moment. "It's possible. But I just checked with my contacts at the border, and there were no suspicious individuals coming from Rohomes to Pascaylia recently."

Vicki chuckled coldly, "Who would use their real identity to enter? Creating a fake identity isn't difficult. It's likely that Athena's maternal clan in Rohomes is supporting her."

Luther threw his phone aside. "Talking about this now is pointless. No matter who is with her, let's focus on rescuing the children first."

Joyce sighed, "The Bryant family is in chaos. Torrance called the school. She found me and begged me to help her, to save Kiki. I could tell she was desperate, crying and emotionally shattered. The Bryant family has a long history as an artistic family for a century, and they've always been low-key in Khebury. Reuben's mother, Kempley, is currently in a mental hospital in Rohomes. Torrance, unmarried, manages the entire family. Kiki, although conceived through a sperm bank, is the only heir of the Bryant family. I thought Torrance didn't have much affection for her own daughter, she never seemed to care for the child, except being strict and demanding. I didn't expect that, at the end of the day, she's still her flesh and blood; anyone would feel heartache."

Joyce's words were directed at Vicki, who wasn't very familiar with the Bryant family's situation. Vicki asked, "How did you talk to Torrance? Is Anderson safe now? Where is he?"

Joyce shrugged, "I've had people take Anderson to the safest place and increased the security around him. Torrance knows that my son hasn't been kidnapped, so she asked me to use military force to help her find the children. I told her I would do my best and advised her not to act in haste. It's crucial not to go around looking for help. Especially, I reminded her not to tell Reuben at the moment, to avoid escalating the situation. We should try to resolve this ourselves without involving Rohomes and making it an international incident."

"Can she understand that?" Vicki hadn't met Torrance and was not very familiar with her.
