Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 73 She Was The One Who Did It

A few days later, when Irene was working in the company, she received a call from Thomas. "Irene, © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Eden is missing!"

"When did he go missing?" Irene was shocked.

"Just now! I took him to play in the park, and he said that he wanted to eat ice cream. So I went to buy

it for him, but when I came back, he disappeared!" Thomas explained.

"How could this be?" Irene's heart went into an arrhythmia. She took the phone and rushed straight to

Jordan's office. Ignoring anyone else, she directly called his name, "Jordan, something came up, and I

need to excuse myself first. I'll do the rest of the work tomorrow."

Seeing Irene's ashen face, Jordan knew at once that something serious had happened. "Irene, what

happened?"

"My son went missing in the park! I need to find him!" Irene explained.

"I'll go with you!" Jordan immediately got up and followed Irene out of the company. The two got in the

car and went straight to the park where Eden went missing.

Along the way, Irene's face was colored with panic. She repeatedly muttered, "Dear Lord, please don't

let anything happen to him. If something bad happens to him, how can I continue to live this pathetic

life of mine?"

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to Eden!" Jordan comforted her.

Soon, they reached the park where Eden went missing. Irene got out of the car and rushed toward the

park directly. Then, she met Thomas, who was sweating profusely.

"Uncle Thomas, have you found Eden?" Irene asked.

"No, I haven't, Irene. So far, the people I have asked haven't seen him before," Thomas answered, his

lips quivering.

"What should we do? Eden, why did you wander around? Do you know that I am worried about you?"

Irene exclaimed helplessly, exasperated.

Jordan was worried too. He picked up his phone and called a police officer he knew, "Ronald, my son

went missing in Southlake Park. Please arrange a few people to help me locate him."

As he hung up the call, Jordan accompanied Irene to look for Eden in the park, but he couldn't find any

trace of Eden. Jordan had a hunch that Eden didn't just lose his way.

Irene was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears. Jordan didn't dare to tell her his

speculation. He took Irene's hand and went straight to the monitor room of the park's management

team.

As soon as he entered the door, he ordered the staff member inside, "I lost a child. Help me set up the

surveillance cameras immediately!"

The people in the monitoring room looked at Jordan and Irene who suddenly broke in. They wanted to

refuse them, but under Jordan's scorching gaze, they couldn't bring them to reject Jordan's order.

Soon, they found the surveillance camera where Eden went missing. Thomas was queuing for ice

cream at the ice cream stall, and Eden was waiting aside.

Out of nowhere, a man with sunglasses and a mask came from the side. The man held an electric toy

in his hand to tempt Eden. Eden then walked over curiously. After that, the man suddenly carried Eden

and covered his mouth before they left in a hurry.

It happened so fast that almost no one noticed it.

After watching the footage, Irene's tears immediately cascaded down her cheeks like a burst pipe.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Jordan felt distressed watching Irene wail. It was the first time he felt that way throughout his life.

"Don't worry, we'll find him! I'm here! Don't worry!" he consoled Irene. In the meantime, he immediately

called a police chief, Ronald Brown, "Have you arranged for your people to come over? My son was

kidnapped in the park. It might be human trafficking. I hope you can arrange someone to start

investigating the surveillance on the streets RIGHT NOW."

Ronald on the other end of the line quickly agreed. Jordan hung up the phone and made another call.

"Bring someone here immediately. Eden is missing."

The one on the other end of the phone was David.

The park's management officers didn't take the case seriously at first. However, when they heard that

Jordan called Ronald and had the ability to mobilize the police forces to help find the child, they

became nervous and immediately arranged for the park staff to look for Eden.

Jordan asked the officer to continue to adjust the angle of the surveillance. The monitor showed that

the man had entered a blind spot of the camera with Eden in his arms. After that, he never appeared

again.

Jordan frowned and ordered the officer to adjust the surveillance camera at the entrance. He stared at

the screen very carefully. After a while, he suddenly squealed, "Stop!"

The officer paused the video immediately. Jordan pointed to a man who came out of a van on the

monitor and asked, "Do you think this man looks like the man who kidnapped the child?"

"No, he doesn't," replied the officer. The person who kidnapped Eden was wearing a coat, a hat, and

sunglasses, while the man on the screen was wearing a T-shirt.

"Look at his shoes!" Jordan pointed at the man's shoes. The jacket, hat, and sunglasses could be

changed in an instant, but he couldn't change his shoes.

The officer carefully looked at the man's shoes and nodded. "They have the same shoes!"

"Enlarge his car's license plate!" Jordan ordered.

The officer immediately enlarged the video. Jordan made a call on his phone. "Ronald, please order

someone to pay attention to this license plate number. I suspect that he was the one who kidnapped

my child."

He marched out of the room while talking on the phone. Then, Irene grabbed his hand and asked,

"Jordan, where are you going?"

"Wait for me here. I'll go out and have a look!" Jordan replied.

"I don't want to wait here. I'm going to find Eden!" Irene's legs were shaking. The fear in her heart was

growing like a tumor. What if she couldn't find Eden? What should she do?

Oh goodness, Eden! What would she do if her lovely, obedient son disappeared?

Seeing her reaction, Jordan sighed. "Alright. Let's look for him together!"

Jordan helped Irene, who was stumbling, out of the entrance. They went straight to the parking lot

outside the park. He opened the door, helped Irene onto the car before they got onto the driver's seat

and started the car engine.

As the car drove out of the park entrance, Jordan's phone rang. It was a call from Ronald. "Mr. Reed,

we have found the license plate you are looking for. It appeared on West Stream Road, and I am

sending someone to block the road as we speak."

"Thank you, Ronald!" After hanging up the phone, Jordan immediately sped up and went straight to

West Stream Road.

He was driving a limited-edition luxurious car that had excellent performance. In an instant, it sped up

and rushed out with a loud screeching noise.

In less than half an hour, Jordan reached West Stream Road. As the suspect appeared in West Stream

Road, the police nearby had already come and blocked the road.

Suddenly, the whole West River Road was filled with alarm sounds. Soon, Jordan's phone rang, and it

was Ronald again.

He said that he found the van in a small alley at the junction of West Stream Road and Yellow Ocean

Road. The driver had disappeared, and the police were searching nearby. The child was found in deep

slumber in the car, and there was no apparent wound on his body.

Hearing the news, Irene was relieved. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the alley.

Before the car even stopped properly, Irene had already rushed down. "Eden! Eden!"

She took Eden from the police and held him tightly in her arms. Her tears streamed down her cheeks.

The fear that had been engulfing her had now condensed into tears of joy.

Jordan stretched out his hand and held Irene and Eden in his arms. He comforted them gently,

"Everything's okay now! Everything's okay now!"

That shock almost sucked Irene's soul dry. She kept holding onto Eden tightly and was reluctant to let

go of him.

Jordan looked at Irene, who was still trembling lightly and sighed. "I'll take him to the hospital."

Irene nodded. She carried Eden and followed Jordan into the car. Inside the car, Irene was still shaking

like a leaf.

Irene couldn't imagine what she would do if she couldn't find her Eden just then. She couldn't possibly

live without Eden!

Jordan drove Eden to the hospital. The doctor examined Eden and said it was nothing big, but Jordan

insisted on letting Eden stay in the hospital for further observation before letting him go home.

Eden was asleep the whole time. After a long wait, he was still not awake. Seeing that, Jordan

anxiously went to find a doctor again.

Irene sat quietly at the side and looked at Eden; he was her child, her joy, her love, whom she carried

in her womb for nine months. She could not help but lower her head and kiss Eden.

At that time, two policemen came in. After introducing themselves to Irene, they sat down and said,

"We have caught the suspect."

"Why did he kidnap my child?" Irene asked.

"He said it was not a kidnapping. Someone gave him a sum of money and asked him to hide the child

and send him back in a few days," the police explained.

"Who asked him to do this?" Irene shrieked in disbelief.

"He doesn't know either. The other party met him at night. At that time, he disguised himself very well.

He wore a hat, a mask, and a pair of sunglasses, so he couldn't see what he looked like. They met at

the outskirts of town, so there wasn't any surveillance camera either. So we want to ask you if you have

offended or had fallen out with anyone?"

Irene shook her head. She had never offended anyone in San Fetillo. If she must point out who she

had fallen out with before, there were few people such as Lily, Deborah, and Margaret.

However, would it be one of them? Irene didn't dare to say their names without evidence, hence she

just shook his head.

The police noticed that they couldn't get any more information from Irene, thus they left the ward after

another few questions.

Irene sent the police away. At the elevator, she met Edric, who came in a hurry. "Irene, I heard that

something happened to Eden?"

"Yes," Irene answered emotionlessly.

"How's his situation now?" Edric asked, panting.

"He's fine," Irene commented, this time even more expressionlessly.

"Can I see him?"

"There's no need for that," Irene refused. "Mr. Myers, I think it's better if you spend more time with your

fiancee."

The word 'fiancee' changed Edric's expression in an instant. It seemed that Irene didn't notice the

change on his face. She added, "As a man, you have to be more responsible. If you hook up with your

ex-wife behind your fiancee's back, it is going to look bad on you. Of course, Mr. Myers, you may not

care about your reputation, but I do. In order to not damage my reputation, please don't come to me in

the future!"

Edric stood at the same place and watched as she turned around indifferently. He couldn't describe

what he was feeling right then.

At this moment, Margaret had already realized that her plans had failed. Her purpose was not to kidnap

Eden but to frighten Irene. Therefore, when she heard that things didn't work out, she did not take it to

heart.

In the afternoon, Marie came to see her. Margaret and Marie had nothing to hide from each other,

hence they talked about the kidnapping matter.

Marie sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this time I made a fool of myself."

"Why would you say that?" Margaret was confused.

"I'll let you know that I just saw Edric at the hospital visiting Irene and the child. They stood outside and

quarreled. Irene even slapped Edric in the face." Marie knew that Margaret was a protective mother.

She would feel more pain if someone else hit Edric than her.

Sure enough, Margaret was furious when she heard that. "What? Why did this little b*tch hit Edric?"

"I'm afraid that Irene has already guessed the truth of the matter. After all, you are the only one who

has such a motive," Marie explained.

"Then what should we do now?" After all, she was in the wrong; Margaret felt guilty too.

"So what if she knows the truth? She doesn't have any evidence anyway. What can she do to you?"

Marie replied.

"I know that. But, doesn't it mean that Edric still has something to do with her? I'm worried about this."

"I have a plan..." Marie whispered. Margaret exhaled and said, "What's it? Let's try it then!"

Since such a big incident had taken place, Jordan gave Irene a few days off and asked her to spend

some quality time with Eden at home.

Irene was also worried that such an accident would traumatize Eden, hence she attended Eden at

home for the past two days. At noon that day, Kinsey came to see them.

She brought food and toys for Eden. On the other hand, Eden and Thomas were playing together in the

living room. Kinsey then pulled Irene into the bedroom and closed the door before she muttered, "Irene,

I met Lily and Freya in a cafe today. Do you know what the two b*tches are talking about? Margaret

was the one who kidnapped Eden."

"What?" Irene was positively shocked.

"She wanted to force you out of San Fetillo. That old b*tch deliberately asked someone to kidnap Eden

to threaten you. What a vicious woman!" Kinsey snarled.

"How could she do this?" Irene was trembling with anger.

"I heard that b*tch, Lily, say that Margaret was afraid that you would entangle yourself with Edric again,

so she did this. Irene, you have to stay away from Edric in the future," Kinsey continued.

"Do you think I don't want to? When I came back, I didn't think of having any contact with him. But

recently, he would always appear in front of me." Irene sighed.

"What is the disgusting jerk thinking?" Kinsey hissed.

"God knows," Irene replied.

"If he comes to you again, you should make it clear to him and not leave him any hope of reconciling

with you. Edric is so well-known, and I refuse to believe that he will still shamelessly show up after

that," Kinsey reminded Irene.

After sending Kinsey off, Irene's thoughts were in a knot as she went to get some groceries at the

market. When she came back, she saw Edric.
