You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 Are You Sure That The Child Is Dead

Raphael avoided eye contact with them and simply replied, “Oh, nothing. I was talking about the rats.”

The villagers scanned around the house, but they could not find both Mary and Tim. “Where are your mother and the boy?” they asked curiously.

“How would I know? They were here just a moment ago. Must have gone pissing somewhere,” Raphael answered impatiently.

Everyone cast a contemptuous glance at him. Nobody liked his awful attitude.

Since Mary and Tim were not there, the villagers left after a short while.

Despite searching for the duo everywhere, Raphael was furious that he could not find them anywhere.

Where did the old hag go with Tim?

A malicious look flashed across Raphael’s eyes as he thought about the handsome sum announced on television.

It’s fine if they aren’t here now. They will return eventually. Hmm… But what if others get to them first? Then, I’ll lose my golden opportunity!

Instantly, Raphael called Ethen.

“Who’s on the line?”

“Hey, you’re looking for a boy, right? The one living with me now looks exactly like the boy in the picture that you’ve shown on the television.”

Ethen’s eyes lit up. He asked urgently, “Send me a photo now!”

Why in the world would I have Tim’s photo with me? I don’t even look him in the eyes usually! Raphael did not have what Ethen wanted.

“Isn’t there a reward? Well, transfer me the money first, and then I’ll send you his photo.”

Ethen scoffed coldly at Raphael’s suggestion.

Is this a scam?

“If you don’t send me the picture first, I can’t verify if he’s the child we’ve been looking for. Only after everything is confirmed that the reward will be paid.”

Having said that, Ethen hung up the call, refusing to bargain with the scammer.

He then continued on his way to Yaleview to give Benjamin an update.

His face was grim.

This is bad news. Without a photo, I don’t believe that the child is still alive.

When he arrived at Yaleview, Benjamin was having his meal. So, he waited for him.

“Have you had your dinner, Mr. Frank?” Arissa greeted him.

“Yes I have, Ms. York.”

Ethen averted her gaze, leaving Arissa curious.

Why do I have a feeling that he’s avoiding me?
