Chapter 191
Her anxious expression made Keith feel like she was avoiding him again.
"Valeria, is there any point in running away like this? Are you planning to hide from me for the rest of your life?"
At this moment. Valeria was burning with anxiety. She was not in the mood to spend time talking to him, so she shook him off. "Leave me alone! I seriously have to go now! Let me go!"
She turned around and walked to the door, but Keith stoppeil le again. "Why do you have to go now? Tell me!"
"Alex is missing!" Valeria could not take it anymore and roared angrily. Then, she slammed the door and left.
Keith stood rooted to the spot for a few seconds before he figure out what Valeria had said.
He quickly chased after her, but she was nowhere to be seen
There was nothing he could do.
Valeria returned to River Valley right away.
When she came back home, she saw Ella sitting on the sofa and crying. Seeing her return, Ella immediately stood up.
"Valeria Alex is missing! The kindergarten teacher said that Alex's grandfather went to pick him up. Maybe you should call your father...
Before Ella could finish, Valeria asserted. "That's impossible. I don't know where my gambling-addicted despicable father has gone. How could he go to the kindergarten to pick up his grandson? Who the hell..."
"But I went to look at the surveillance footage, and it was indeed middle-aged man who picked up Alex. He looked very much like your father. I haven't seen him for many years, so I am not very sure if it was him. I took a video. You can check if it's your father." Ella took out her phone and showed Valeria the surveillance video she had taken.
She had seen Ben when she was very young, so she could barely remember what he looked like..
Valeria glanced at the surveillance video on her phone and was instantly furious. It was seriously that scumbag Ben!
Seeing that it was her despicable father, she was no longer anxious.
However, she did not have Ben's contact. She only had his phone number from a long time ago, so she did not know if he was still using the same number.
Valeria managed to connect with this long-forgotten number, and she couldn't believe it had gone through
This gambler had actually dared to use the same phone number for so many years? How strange.
After a long time, the phone was picked up and Ben's voice came through. "Hello?"
"Give Alex back to me! If you want to use him to threaten me to give you money, don't even think about it. Let me tell you the truth. He's your grandson. If you are seriously that mad, just do whatever you want." She was betting that Ben would not do anything to his grandson
On the other end of the phone, Ben was still playing dumb. "Valeria? Did you call just to scold me? When did I threaten you with my grandson? Who is my grandson? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Nov 1!
"Haha. Valeria had a wry sigile.
Scumbags were indeed scumbags. Even at this point, he was still playing dumb. Not only was he a scumbag, but he was a fool
Valeria said coldly, "Stop acting! The surveillance footage clearly shows it. Do you think I'm blind?
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Bery was simply stupid. He did not expect that kindergartens nowadays would install surveillance cameras for kids. Now, there was no way for him to deny
"I'm just hanging out with my grandson, and I'll bring him back to you after dinner, alright? Are you crazy or what? Do you think I will do anything to harm my grandson?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone as if he was afraid that Valeria would say something else that would embarrass him.
Valeria looked at the phone and became even angrier and called Ben again, but he refused to answer the call.
"Alright"
Well, then, fo need to hold back.
She immediately dialed Hackett's number. She knew that she would need Hackett to find her father, for he could find anyone in minutes.
As expected, the call was picked up very quickly.
The man's low and slightly tired voice came from the phone. Its rare that you are calling me. What's the matter?"
In Hackett's opinion, Valeria would not call him if there was nothing important.
Hearing his tired voice, she suddenly could not bear to disturb him. However, there was no other way. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for help from him. "Can you help me find someone?" "Who are you looking for?"
"My father went to pick Alex up at the kindergarten earlier. Can you help me locate where they are now? I'm not at ease letting him take care of Alex. He said that he just wants to hang out with him, but... Before Valeria could finish speaking. Hackett, who was on the other side of the phone, was even more nervous than her. "What? Your father took Alex away?"
"Well... yes." Valeria could already feel Hackett's anger.
"Send me his number."
"Okay.
Then she hung up and sent the phone number to him.
Hackett was probably already on the move, but was she just going to sit and wait?
Ella had been quietly listening to Valeria talking on the phone. When she saw her hang up the phone, she leaned over and asked, "What did he say?"
"There is nothing to worry about. It's not a big problem. As long as Hackett starts moving, we should be able to find Alex soon. However, I can't just sit here and wait. I'll make a trip to James Group. You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight. Chapter 191
With that, she stood up and left.
Ella heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Valeria then headed to James Group.
Hackett was in his CEO's office at James Group.
After Hackett hung up the phone, he was instantly furious. How dare his scumbag father-in-law take Alex away without his permission?
That old man had a death wish.
He quickly entered Ben's phone number into the computer system, and it began analyzing the location. When it came to tracking someone, he was an expert
It would take about half an hour to locate Ben.
Ben had turned his phone off at the moment, so it was somewhat challenging to find him.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Half an hour later, the system found the accurate location of Ben, who was outside an amusement park. It seemed that he was taking his grandson there.
Hackett stood up and picked up his jacket, read to find them.
Unexpectedly, the office door was pushed open. Valeria came looking for him
"What brings you here?" Hackett's eyes were filled with surprise.
"I can't sit at home alone. I'd better go with you. Besides, I want to have a talk with Ben this time. If he takes Alex away without permission again, Iwill not let him walk away" Valeria was irritated just thinking about it. This gambling-addicted despicable father caused more trouble than he was worth, and now he was pretending to be a good grandpa. Hackett chuckled self-deprecatingly, and indeed, if it weren't for the child, Valeria wouldn't have come to his office voluntarily.
"Let's go. I don't want my son to stay with that scum for a second longer," Hackett said in a deep voice.
Valeria fell silent, but she was thinking along the same lines. On this point, they had a remarkable understanding between them.
Hackett drove Valeria straight to the amusement park. The atmosphere in the car was tense the entire time, and no one was in the mood to talk.
Finally, Valeria could not help but ask, "Did my father always ask you for money?"
She also heard that Hackett would give Ben some money for her sake, but he had not seen Ben again since the divorce.
