My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 194: We Should Talk 

"Mom, where is Ray?"Ryan asked.

Josie lowered her eyes as she leaned against the sofa and crossed her arms.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Ryan had been expecting this.

He took out his phone and clicked on it.He then put it on the table in front of Josie.

It was a video of Raymond being kidnapped.

Ryan stared intently at Josie and said, "This is our car.I recognized it."

The expression on Josie's face changed slightly.

"Mom, where is he? Give him back."

Josie continued sitting on the sofa, without moving an inch.

She was a bit upset that her subordinates could be so careless, but on the other hand, she was very proud of her son.

She hadn't expected Ryan to find out the truth in such a short time.

"Ryan..."

"I want to see Ray now!"

"Is this how you are supposed to talk to your mother?" Josie asked.

Her voice was coated with unhappiness and anger.

Ryan stared at her with dark and cold eyes.

All of a sudden, the room was filled with tension.

It was so thick that one could cut it with a knife.

Noticing this, Luke hurried over to the sofa and sat beside Josie.

He tried to comfort her and said, "Mom, please give Ray back right now! You are a mother, too.You must know how a mother feels if her child goes missing.From the time Ray disappeared, Wendy has not been able to relax.Mom, she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown."

Josie looked over at Wendy.

This was the first time she had seen Wendy in person.

Josie already had a bad impression of Wendy in her mind.

So, now when she saw Wendy face to face, Josie felt all the more disgusted.

'She looks more coquettish in person than on TV.She isn't a good choice for Ryan.Also, she has so many scandals to her name.'

"Why are you asking me if she is the one who has lost her son? Take my advice, go and look for him somewhere else," Josie said indifferently.

Listening to her talk like this, Ryan frowned and his face was like thunder.

Luke's face darkened, too.

Wendy sat there quietly, without any expression on her face.

Compared to her madness a few moments ago, she was surprisingly calm.

By now, Precious realized what had happened.

She immediately ran to Josie, who welcomed her with open arms.

Josie had a huge smile on her face as she looked at her granddaughter.

"Precious..." This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Precious raised her head and looked at her grandmother.

Her chubby little face was full of seriousness as she questioned, "Grandma, did you kidnap my brother, Ray?"

Josie frowned as she glanced at Wendy.

She then turned to look at Precious and said in a chiding tone, "Precious! What nonsense is this? Since when have you had a brother? My child, you're still too young.Don't you know that you should be alert around strangers?"

Everyone present in the room was aware of what Josie meant.

Precious frowned in annoyance and pushed Josie abruptly.

"Precious, what are you doing?" Josie asked in disbelief.

"My teacher says, only bad people kidnap others.Grandma, you're very bad.You kidnapped Ray.You are bad!"

"Precious! Behave yourself, young lady! I am your grandmother!"

"I don't care.I want Ray! I want to see Ray! I want to see him now!"

Josie's face turned red with anger and she yelled, "Precious!"

"Why did you do this to him? Grandma, I like Ray very much.Why are you hurting him?” Josie took a deep breath and said, "My dear, I did it for your own good."

"No! You're lying! Grandma, for my sake, please give him back to us." Josie was furious by now.

She thought that her granddaughter had been brainwashed.She was so angry that she turned her face away from Precious.

"Grandma..."

Ryan came forward and carried Precious in his arms.He looked at Josie, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Mom! Where is Ray? Give him back!"

"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about," Josie denied vehemently.

"Well, then maybe you won't mind if I call the police, right?"

‘'Call the police?’' Josie was startled and looked at Ryan in disbelief.

Ryan had always been Josie's favorite from the time he was a child.

She never expected that he would treat her like this.

And that too, for a woman whom he had only known for a while.

"Ryan, is this how one should treat his own mother?"

"Then why don't you give Ray back?" Ryan demanded.

"I told you that I have never seen that boy before!" Ryan waved his hand and beckoned his brother.

Luke glanced at Josie and then strode over to Ryan.

"Luke, get people to search every inch of this place!"

"Okay!"

Josie pounded the table with her fist in anger and stood up.

"How dare you, Ryan!"

Ryan did not respond to her, but let his actions do all the talking.

Luke made a phone call, and within five minutes, a group of bodyguards entered the living room.

They looked menacing in their black suits and sunglasses.

Josie trembled in anger as she yelled, "Ryan!"

Ryan remained unaffected.

When she realized that Ryan was not listening to her, Josie turned to Luke and exclaimed, "Luke, how dare you!"

Luke replied calmly, "Mom, to be honest, you're at fault today."

Luke glanced at Wendy.

He then turned to look at Josie again and said, "Mom, you're a mother, too.You have a granddaughter.What would you do if Precious was kidnapped? Wouldn't you want to go and fight with the kidnappers?"

"Oh my goodness! Don't talk rubbish, Luke!"

"See, you can't bear it when I used Precious as an example.But you could easily get someone else's son kidnapped.Mom, what's the difference between you and the domineering empress in medieval times? Because of your power and influence, you do whatever you want.You've gone too far."

Josie pointed at Luke with trembling fingers.

Luke went ahead and ignored her.

He turned towards the bodyguards and commanded, "Search the entire place.If anyone of you sees a boy who is approximately three or four years of age, bring him back to me at once! Search every nook and cranny to find him.Do not leave any stone unturned!"

"Yes, sir!"

The bodyguards immediately dispersed in search of the missing boy.

These same bodyguards were in charge of the security of this manor.

They were trained by the security company of Oliver Group.

Although they worked in the manor, they only took orders from Ryan.

The bodyguards started a thorough search of the premises.

All the villas in the manor, the gardens, the heating rooms, and the garages were searched.

Every inch of the place was searched.

As long as a place could hide a small boy, that place was thoroughly searched by the bodyguards.

Thirty minutes later, the bodyguards returned to report.

"Sir, we didn't find him."

Luke was furious and yelled, "Have you searched every corner of this manor? Every cabinet, every drawer? Search it again!"

"No need!"

"Ryan..."

Ryan dismissed the bodyguards with a wave of his hand.

They immediately left the room.

Ryan trained his sharp eyes on Josie, who appeared to be very calm.

"Where on earth have you kept him?"

He realized his mother must have hidden the boy in another place.

Otherwise, she would not have been so calm.

Josie smirked.

"Since you're so smart, why don't you go and find him yourself?"

Ryan pursed his lips.

Of course, he could definitely find Ray.

It was just a matter of time.

Wendy, who had been a silent and unmoving spectator, finally moved.

She stood up from the sofa and looked at Josie.

Josie looked back at her intently.

There was hatred in her eyes.

"Mrs.Oliver." Josie looked away.

It seemed she did not want to talk to Wendy.

Her attitude said it all.

Wendy took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Mrs.Oliver, I think we should talk."
