Chapter 204 North Was Kidnapped
“How dare you show me work of such quality?” Eugene threw a folder at them. “And you’ve been preparing this for a whole week? Can’t you even do this well? Just leave if you can’t do it properly!”
The managers were frightened and quickly bowed. “We can, President Nolan. Please give us another chance.”
Eugene was about to say something more when the phone in his hand rang. He didn’t want to answer it, but when he saw it was from Olivia, he turned his head and answered the call. In a second, his voice turned gentle. “What happened, Olivia?”
Olivia’s anxious voice came from the phone. “Eugene, North is missing. Can you help me find him?”
Hearing this, Eugene immediately sat upright. His voice rose slightly as he asked, “What did you say? Missing? Where did he go missing?”
Olivia replied, “He went missing at school. I asked someone to pick him up, but he was gone. The teacher said that a woman picked him up. I called Kate just now, and it wasn’t her. I suspect he’s in trouble. Eugene, please help me.”
Her trembling voice caused Eugene to feel distressed as well. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll send someone to check the surveillance cameras. Where are you?”
“I’m at the studio.”
“Wait for me there. I’ll come and pick you up. We’ll go and check around the school together.”
“Okay. Thank you, Eugene!”
“Don’t mention it. Don’t worry; nothing bad will happen.” Eugene then turned to Curtis. “Curtis, call the police and send someone to check the surveillance cameras near the school. Do it right now!” he ordered.
Curtis answered, “Very well, President Nolan!”
Eugene didn’t even bother to say another word to the managers he had just scolded and hurriedly left the room.
In half an hour, he had already arrived at Olivia’s studio.
Looking at Olivia’s panicked expression, Eugene’s heart twitched in pain. He stepped forward and took her into his arms without hesitation. All he wanted to do was to offer her a little comfort and nothing else.
“Don’t be afraid, alright? Everything will be okay. Let’s go to the school to find out about the situation.”
“Okay.”
Olivia nodded obediently and followed Eugene into the car. Then, they drove directly to the kindergarten.
As soon as they got there, Sophia came up to greet them. “Miss Olivia, Mr. Nolan.”
When the teacher saw Olivia and Eugene, she started to feel afraid and explained in a panic, “I thought you two were busy today, so you had someone else pick up the boy in advance. The woman was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t recognize her properly. As the car was the same model as usual, I thought it was the same woman who always came to pick up the boy!”
Sophia looked at the teacher. “Every time I picked up the child, I would get out of the car and say hello to you before leaving. Today, this woman didn’t even get out of the car at all. Why did you let them go so easily?”
The teacher hurriedly explained, “She asked the security to inform me that there was an urgent matter today. I thought it was you in a hurry and didn’t think much about it.”
Olivia knew that the woman who kidnapped the child was very cunning, but the child who went missing was her own son, so she couldn’t remain calm. When she looked at the teacher, her voice turned icy.
“No matter what, I left my child here with you, so at the very least, you should have guaranteed his safety. Every time I got someone new to pick up the child, I would call you and let you know. Today, not only was it someone new who picked him up, but she had also arrived in advance. I didn’t call you to tell you about this special arrangement, so shouldn’t you have at least confirmed with me before handing the child over?”
Eugene patted her shoulder comfortingly. “There, there. Don’t panic. Now is not the time to pursue whose responsibility it is. Let’s find the child first.”
He turned to the teacher. “Can we see who picked up the child through the surveillance cameras?”
The teacher hurriedly said, “We just saw the footage. It was a black car, but the woman was wearing a mask.”
