Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 280 Henry Summers Goes Missing
Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Henry Summers Goes Missing
How could the Shaw Family have such a thing?
Who would be so bold as to secretly plant a listening device in the Shaw house?
What’s even more astonishing is that they were completely unaware.
Serena Summers quickly gathered her thoughts, keeping her voice as calm as possible.
"I found it, didn’t expect it to have fallen under the coffee table."
Master Shaw also snapped back to reality, hastily adding with a smile, "For such a small matter, you could have let the servants handle it. Why bother doing it yourself?"
Serena slowly handed the listening device over to Lucas Shaw, then made a gesture towards him and went upstairs.
Lucas Shaw lowered his eyes, his deep gaze settling on the listening device in his palm, a flash of murderous intent swept through his eyes.
Whoever dared to target the Shaw Family was truly courting death.
His thin lips slowly curved into a cold smile, the faces of Master Shaw and Liam Shaw looked extremely grim as well.
Upstairs.
Serena entered her room and turned on her laptop, quickly tapping on the keyboard.
Her slender, fair fingers flitted rapidly, and soon, the computer screen was filled with strings of code.
Quickly, she pulled up all the surveillance footage from the past month from the front door.
During this period, visitors to the Shaw house had been rare.
Since Master Shaw retired, he had stepped back from business affairs.
So the visits from his old friends were not as frequent as before.
In this month, the number of visitors to the Shaw house was very few.
Elena Ryan had come several times, but she never entered the house.
There were also a few of Master Shaw’s former business partners.
And... Professor Parker.
Serena’s gaze fell on the surveillance footage on the computer, a hint of depth crossing her eyes.
Soon, she took her laptop downstairs and showed them the investigation results she had found.
The faces of Master Shaw and the others instantly darkened, then they slowly shook their heads.
They weren’t sure either.
Those who entered the Shaw house definitely had extraordinary identities.
Each of these people was prominent and well-known.
Although their financial resources and family backgrounds were not comparable to the Shaw Family, they were all famous in City S.
He was really unable to tell who it could be at that moment.
This answer was within Serena’s expectations; she slowly closed the laptop, then looked towards Lucas Shaw.
They had been followed by someone right after leaving the airport yesterday, that’s when she sensed something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, they found a listening device in the Shaw house.
She guessed that the news of her and Lucas Shaw returning today was probably obtained through the listening device.
Serena gripped Lucas Shaw’s hand tightly, her expression solemn.
It seems the person behind this was even more powerful than she had anticipated.
Lucas Shaw gently patted her hand, extending his long arm to pull her tightly into his embrace.
"It’s alright, I’m here."
Lucas Shaw spoke softly, comforting her with the shape of his lips.
At that moment, a servant suddenly walked in, looking anxious, and said, "Master Shaw, there’s someone outside claiming to be the Young Madam’s mother, looking for the Young Madam."
"Jeanette Lane?"
The faces of the crowd turned to each other in bewilderment.
Serena was first to rise from her seat, heading towards the door.
Lucas Shaw also stood up from the sofa immediately and followed behind Serena Summers.
His appearance was decidedly that of a protective escort.
Mrs. Summers was standing at the door, her face full of resentment.
Having not seen her for a few days, her face looked terrible, as if she had aged several years.
The moment she saw Serena come out, Jeanette Lane suddenly stepped forward and began cursively shouting at Serena.
"You little bitch! Where have you hidden my husband? Hand him over now!"
"You ungrateful wretch, you even harm your own biological father, aren’t you afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell?"
"You wicked girl, I should have drowned you when you were born if I knew this day would come!"
Jeanette stood at the door, hysterically yelling at Serena, her eyes filled with raging emotions.
She seemed like she wanted to tear Serena apart right there.
Serena looked at her, baffled, "Henry Summers is missing?"
"Stop pretending! I’m telling you, if you don’t hand him over today, I’m not leaving!"
After she returned from the Lane Family, she found her house eerily empty, with all the valuables gone, nothing left.
Henry Summers had also disappeared.
She kept calling him, but couldn’t get through at all, it was as if he had evaporated from the world.
It had been two or three days, she searched everywhere but couldn’t find any news of Henry Summers.
Henry and she had been married for over two decades and something like this had never happened before.
Therefore, Jeanette immediately assumed that Henry must have been kidnapped.
After the bankruptcy of Summers Group, those shareholders, one after another, came to Summers Family to ask for debts, but they just made a scene and didn’t have the guts.
Therefore, the most likely suspect was Serena.
Serena was amused rather than upset by Jeanette pointing her finger accusingly, she sneered, "It’s not my fault if you can’t keep your man, why come blaming me?"
"If you didn’t kidnap him, why wouldn’t he come home? It’s been two days, no matter his flaws, he is still your father after all!"
Serena’s face grew stern, and she sharply cut her off, "Mrs. Summers, you seem to forget, I severed ties with the Summers family long ago. Mr. Summers is no longer my father, and does not deserve to be."
Jeanette was furious with her words, hands on hips and finger pointing at Serena, she yelled: "You heartless traitor! You even deny your own biological father, aren’t you afraid of people pointing at your spine?"
Serena: "It was you who disregarded our kinship and sent me to the Shaw Family to break the curse, what right do you have to speak to me like this now? Shouldn’t you and Henry Summers be the ones to be condemned?"
The ones who abandoned her initially were them, and now they were also the ones accusing her of being uncaring.
All the good words have been taken by them.
Jeanette was frightened by her icy stare, involuntarily shrinking her neck.
Soon, she regained her composure.
Realizing that she had been intimidated by the aura of a young girl, she felt humiliated.
She said sternly: "I don’t care, hand over my husband immediately, or I’ll just stay here! I’m actually curious if the Shaw Family can afford to lose this face."
Jeanette stood at the door, showing none of her usual dignified and gentle demeanor.
Hands on hips, she was yelling hysterically like a common shrew.
Mrs. Summers spewed out all the foul language she could think of.
It was as if Serena was not her own daughter, but a sworn enemy with whom she shared irreconcilable differences.
Serena’s lips tightened, her eyes growing colder.
At this moment, Lucas Shaw suddenly stepped forward, shielding Serena behind him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous, bloodthirsty gleam.
"Mrs. Summers, you are looking for Henry Summers in the wrong place, aren’t you? I happen to know where he is..."
Jeanette immediately looked up at him, asking eagerly, "Where?"
"Why should I tell you, after you insulted my wife?" Lucas Shaw snorted coldly, dominantly pulling Serena into his embrace.
He was clearly in a protective stance.
