Chapter 315: TENSION IN THE MORNING

Hailee fell to the floor on the right side of her body and immediately rolled away from Axcel who was standing proudly in front of her.

Surprise still haunted Hailee because she didn't expect that Axcel would actually hit her. This man is crazy!

Hailee's instinct told her to get out of the room immediately. If at this moment Axcel could hit her without a second thought, then Hailee didn't want to imagine what this man would be able to do if she stayed in this room any longer.

"You deserve it," Axcel said with a satisfied smile on his lips. "And of course I know what my father did."

Hailee grabbed her jacket and felt the small object poke her finger, giving her a slight sense of security.

=============   

"Leon doesn't own any property in city F?" Lexus frowned and clenched his jaw. "Are you sure?"

Ramon didn't answer the question, but the look in his eyes was enough to tell Lexus that he shouldn't have asked him that question.

Seeing his brother staring at him with an indescribable look, made Lexus immediately shut his mouth tightly and think harder, but when he was so sure of the answer he was given, he became frustrated and looked back at the room where Leon was being held.

"Or should I torture him into talking?" asked Lexus furiously.

"I wouldn't have asked you to come here if the solution you offered was something I could come up myself." Oh, Ramon would be very good at torturing Leon, he already thought of a thousand and one ways on how he would torture Leon later, it's just that, for now, Ramon doesn't have any more time.

"Where are you going?" asked Lexus when he saw his brother rushing away. He immediately got into the car that Ramon was driving without asking his brother's approval first, while several other bodyguards immediately got into their cars and followed Ramon.

================ 

"F City?" Marco repeated Ramon's words. He just got a call from Mr. Tordoff, but before he told him about his successful mission and the children he found in the house, Ramon had given him another mission. "Okay."

After agreeing and knowing how the situation had turned, Ramon then hung up the phone.

"Where are you going?" Ian asked, seeing Marco rush off after receiving a call from Ramon. "What happened?"

The only thing Ian could afford to worry about right now was Hailee and if Ramon was in a state of panic there might be something wrong on the girl's side.

Ian could even tell something wasn't right from the way Marco answered Ramon's question in such a hurry, and his conjecture proved correct.

"Mrs. Tordoff was kidnapped," Marco replied curtly.

For a moment Ian couldn't catch the sentence correctly, only after Marco rushed out of the ward, where Ciara was receiving intensive care, did Ian immediately run after him.

"Please take care of my sister," Ian said to Daniel and Andrew, then he chased after Marco.

For a moment, Ian had lost track of the man because he was moving so fast, luckily Ian remembered where their car was parked and immediately took the path to the parking lot, where he saw Marco already in the car.

Ian immediately stopped the car by standing in front of it, then he walked to the other side of the car and knocked on the window until Marco opened the door for him.

"Are you crazy?! Tired of your life already?" Marco exclaimed in annoyance as Ian had suddenly jumped in front of his speeding car.

"You didn't explain to me how Hailee got kidnapped," Ian grumbled. "You just left without giving any explanation."

"I don't know the details," Marco answered simply, and he drove out of the basement of the parking lot and was soon on a busy road.

It was almost noon and neither of them had enough rest, it's just that the current situation didn't allow them to relax even for a moment.

"Then how did Hailee get kidnapped? Wasn't she in the Tordoff residence?" How was it possible for a place with such tight security to be infiltrated by random people and moreover bring Hailee out of there unnoticed. Hailee is not a doll.

"It seems that two of Hailee's bodyguards have betrayed us," Marco said. He got this news from another bodyguard who also said that Mr. Tordoff almost killed Pyro for failing to do his job.

Marco couldn't even imagine how angry Ramon would be right now when he found his wife and future child in such a dangerous position.

"Damn! How could that happen?!" cursed Ian.

"I don't know," Marco answered in a confused tone.

"Then, shall we head to city F? What is going on over there?" Ian asked. "Have they got any information regarding Hailee's whereabouts?"

"Yes, according to Mr. Tordoff, Mrs. Tordoff is in town F, but the problem is there's no property in Leon Dawson's name there," Marco explained as he pressed the gas pedal harder, making the car go even faster.

"F City… Leon Dawson…" Ian muttered.

================ 

Lis had been staring at her laptop screen for hours and there was only one video that was being played over and over again, namely the CCTV footage of last night, when the Tordoff residence was attacked and two of the security guards were seriously injured, from gunshots.

Even now, this house was still under the radar of the police.

And the media out there started to sense that something was wrong with the Tordoff residence being guarded by a lot of police and began to link this problem to the case of a blackout that occurred during the few minutes of last night's party.

There were some crazy theories and assumptions that strayed too far from reality, but there were also some opinions that were close to the truth and this was really surprising about people's ability to analyze the situation.

Lis sighed and rubbed her face roughly. She still couldn't understand how Leon could hurt her family. He did make several proposals to make Lexus the successor to the Tordoff family by replacing Ramon.

But, how could that be done? Lis knew her children very well and Lexus is not someone who is ambitious about position or money. Her second child only followed in Ramon's footsteps because he idolized his brother.

Therefore, Lis didn't take Leon's words seriously and took it as a thing of the past. However, who would have thought that something like this would happen?

And Hailee…

Why did Leon involve her pregnant daughter-in-law in his evil plan?

Lis could feel her head throbbing painfully and her heart almost jumping out of her chest when she heard the sound of the door opening, revealing Lexus and Ramon  behind it.

"Tell me where he lives in city F?" Ramon skipped all the greetings or small questions and went straight to the heart of the matter.

"What?" Lis frowned, it felt like she couldn't think anymore and when she saw Lexus together with Ramon, she felt very nervous. Does Lexus already know about it? Had Ramon told him?

Lis tried to analyze the expression on her second son's face, but was interrupted by a urging question from Ramon.

"Did you take Lexus to meet him?" asked Lis, instead of answering Ramon's question.
