Mr. Tycoon's Beloved Wife: The Madam No One Dares to Offend-Chapter 284: Don’t Kill the Kid

Halle searched every room upstairs and downstairs but still could not find Emily.

Where could a two-year-old child run to? Even if she wanted to find Halle, she should be anxious if she could not find Halle after so long, but there was no crying.

"Emily, don’t play anymore, okay? It’s too late and you should go back to sleep. Good Emily, Mom knows that you must be here. Please show up."

Halle’s voice trembled. She could not find Emily, and her Emily was gone.

The villa was big. Because Halle was running around, all the people immediately became flustered.

The others also put down their cards and began to look for Emily in the place.

Horton held Halle, "Halle, don’t worry. Think about the situation in your room when you go back."

She couldn’t listen to what Horton said at the moment with teary eyes. She just wanted to find Emily quickly because she had a bad feeling.

"What’s going on? Emily is missing. It’s just Emily is missing."

"Halle, don’t worry. If you’re like this, we won’t find Emily. Think about whether the room was messy or strange when you returned to the room. Is the door open or closed?"

Horton pulled Halle, who was in a panic, and held her shoulder, letting her turn to look at him.

Halle shook her head and scratched her hair. "I don’t know, I don’t know, nothing is different. Emily is gone, please don’t ask anymore. If you don’t want to find her, please don’t stop me from finding her, okay?"

Halle covered her head and roared painfully, her eyes scarlet as she looked at Horton, with fury and breakdown.

Emily was her life and everything to her. She could not accept anything would happen to Emily.

Halle pushed Horton away and ran out of the villa.

Hearing the commotion outside, Hilla went downstairs, only to see Halle rushing out in a hurry.

Hilla chased after Halle without putting on her coat. Bruce, who had come out from behind, followed swiftly.

"Halle!"

Hearing Hilla’s voice, Halle stopped and turned around.

"What is it?"

"Emily is gone. My Emily is gone. She’s sleeping in the house, but she is gone when I go back. Hilla, help me find Emily. Where is she?"

The Anderson’s was too big that she could not find Emily alone.

Halle was so worried that her eyes were red and tears were trickling down her cheeks, her heart cold.

Hilla was stunned. "How could she be gone? Halle, don’t worry. Emily likes to play hide-and-seek, so she must have hidden somewhere. This is our place, and she won’t disappear. Emily may have woken up and not seen you, so she must be looking for you. I’ll ask someone to find her immediately, okay?"

Hilla grabbed Halle’s hand while comforting her. She knew the importance of Emily to Halle, but it happened too suddenly. They never thought that Emily would disappear at home.

Bruce, who had caught up behind her, only draped a coat over Hilla and wrapped her tightly, remaining silent. He was somewhat displeased for Hilla ignored him.

Although he was unhappy, this was not the right time for him to educate her.

"I’ll get someone to look for Emily. There are surveillance cameras in many places at home. Don’t worry, we’ll find her!"

Bruce’s words were better than Hilla’s comfort to Halle.

This is Bruce’s villa, so he knew every corner here better than anyone else. Halle grabbed the corner of Bruce’s clothes, her eyes red as she pleaded, "Please find Emily for me."

Emily had never left her before and so many people came today. Halle was so scared, her mind in turmoil.

Bruce agreed, then eyed Horton who had a gloomy expression, "Take them to have a rest!"

Horton nodded and looked at Halle nervously and cautiously.

Hilla held Halle’s hands to comfort her. "Yes, let’s go back to the room first. You can’t find Emily if you look around like this. Emily must be looking for you too. She’s only two years old and can’t leave the house by herself."

Emily couldn’t even walk steadily. It was impossible for her to get out of this place.

Halle suddenly calmed down. She must have missed some places. Emily must still be in the house.

"But there are so many guests today. What if, what if someone takes Emily away?"

Halle lowered her head and finally said the possibility that she was most worried about.

Emily was too young, so she should be afraid and cry if she failed to find Halle. However, after so long, other than the two naughty kids of the Anderson family, there was no crying of other children at home.

Hilla couldn’t help but frown. After all, a lot of people had been invited to the full-moon-birth feast today, even including a few reporters.

She was afraid that someone would sneak in. But who would be interested in a two-year-old child for no reason? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Anderson family was not somewhere else. It was difficult to secretly take away a two-year-old child without being discovered. If they had a plan of kidnapping, their target should be she and Bruce’s children instead of Emily.

Hilla was frightened at the thought and immediately became nervous. What if someone deliberately targeted the Anderson family today?

"Bruce will find a way. It’s too cold outside. Let’s go back first."

As soon as Horton uttered, Halle was irritated.

"Emily is my daughter. How can I not be anxious when she is lost? You don’t care about her, and of course, you won’t worry."

Without a doubt, Halle was in a bad mood now. She gave vent to her worry, fear, and frustration at this time.

After being criticized by Halle, Horton stood there, not knowing how to explain.

Although he was not Emily’s father, he indeed liked her and was worried about her. However, he could not be like Halle as a man, and he wanted to think of a way to find the child.

Hilla glanced at Horton guiltily and quickly stopped Halle. "Halle, don’t worry. Let’s go back first. Emily might be in the room already. What if you didn’t find her carefully? She might be hiding in some place and now appears."

Children were naughty and sometimes they were easily attracted by something.

Emily might be playing in some corner without being noticed.

Halle wiped the tears from her face, perplexed. She did not know what she was thinking right now, her mind filled with Emily’s face.

After being dragged back into the house by Hilla, people inside watched them with worry. They had also been looking for Emily everywhere just now.

Not long after they sat down on the sofa in the living room, Bruce returned in a hurry, but his face was gloomy.

Hilla suddenly had a horrible feeling. Maybe Emily was indeed lost!

...

Seeing Bruce come over, Hilla stood up from the sofa immediately.

"Have you found Emily?"

The security system in Anderson’s mansion had always been trustworthy. But since many guests had come here today, most of the guards were keeping an eye on the main family members of the family in case there was danger, therefore leaving some security breaches.

Halle also ran over. With trembling hands, she looked at Bruce with grave concern and expectation.

"Please tell me you have found Emily. She was just hiding somewhere, playing hide-and-seek with me, wasn’t she?"

However, when she saw the guilty in his eyes, she burst into tears.

She had thought of this possibility when Bruce remained silent.

"Someone took her away. Two of our surveillance videos were broken, but we can still see that Emily was deliberately taken away."

Bruce’s voice was very cold and serious.

He was also angry that someone dared to kidnap Emily from Anderson’s mansion.

No matter why that person took Emily, this action had completely irritated Bruce.

"Could it be for blackmailing the Anderson family?"

Horton said coldly. Since Halle hadn’t been in River City for very long, she hadn’t had any friends here, not to mention enemies.

Therefore, Horton thought that it was probable that the kidnapper had targeted Andersons and mistaken Emily as one of them.

"That is possible!" Riya nodded, "Bruce’s safe return from South Africa must have damaged many people’s interests. They could do such things for this hatred."

"How is that possible? If they hate the Anderson family, they should kidnap Bruce’s child, me or Hilla. Why do they want Emily?"

Margaret instantly said, disagreeing with their conclusion.

However, after she finished speaking, she still looked at Halle, afraid that she would also think it was Bruce to blame.

"Halle, don’t worry. We will definitely help you find Emily."

"They must have prepared to become the enemies of the Anderson family if they dared to do so," Julian said coldly.

...

Regardless of their real purpose, the Anderson family would never let them get away with it.

"Whatever they want, the most important thing now is to find Emily right away."

"With the force of Anderson family, it won’t be difficult to find a child in River City. Now we have to figure out why."

Horton and Bruce exchanged a look, knowing the key of the situation now.

The kidnappers always got a motive.

If they want money, they should have called them now to state the requests.

However, until now, they hadn’t received any blackmail notes, which meant that the kidnappers might want something other than money.

...

"Halle doesn’t have any friends here, and she is too kind a person to make enemies. It couldn’t be because of her."

Margaret looked at Halle with guilt. Deep down she was also convinced that the Andersons should be blamed for Emily’s being kidnapped.

After confirming that Emily was taken away, Halle hadn’t said anything. She just lowered her head and bit her lips tightly. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails stabbed into her palm.

Her mind was full of concern and fear, so she couldn’t take in any words from others.

"Halle, don’t worry. We’re sure to bring Emily back," Hilla said worriedly.

Looking at Halle’s pale face, she knew what Halle was thinking although she didn’t respond.

Hilla glared at Horton.

She had a vague idea about why Halle remained silent. She thought Halle must have known who took Emily away.

Hilla bit her lips. She didn’t say anything in case Halle was hurt even more.

"Let’s call the police!"

Riya said coldly as she crossed her arms.

Although she was not very close to Halle, she also wanted to help this poker partner.

Riya had always been a loyal friend, so she couldn’t see Halle suffer now that she had regarded her as a friend.

"Yes, call the police. With the police around, the kidnappers won’t dare to be too outrageous."

For the first time, Margaret agreed with Riya.

Although the Anderson family was very influential, it was still the fastest and most convenient to turn to the police for help.

"I’ve already sent people to investigate who the kidnappers are. We’ll find out soon." Bruce’s voice was calm, but his expression was anxious and mad.

Whatever their purpose was, he wouldn’t show them mercy now that they dared to mess up with the Andersons.

While they were talking about Emily, trying to come up with a solution, Halle silently got up and went upstairs.

Hilla followed closely behind. She thought it’d be better for Halle now to have a company.

Horton looked in the direction of Halle, finally deciding not to interrupt her now. ’She will be more comfortable to stay with her sister rather than a stranger like me.’ In the Hutt’s villa, Chris hurried over and whispered something to Claus. ...

Claus said angrily, "What are they thinking? I’ve warned them not to alarm the Anderson family? Why did they do that in Anderson’s mansion?"

He didn’t plan to start a war with the Anderson family. He thought whether that girl was Bruce’s child or not, Bruce would definitely try to save her. Then he could make a deal with the Anderson family.

Chris also seemed serious and angry. He did not expect the people sent to do this would be so unreasonable that they kidnapped the child in Anderson’s mansion.

But he still tried to comfort Claus, "Maybe they think that it’s easier to get the kid with so many people visiting Anderson’s mansion today. After all, the kid doesn’t go out very often."

"I don’t care what excuse they have! Have they ever thought about the risk of irritating Bruce? They may get us all doomed!"

"Sir, don’t worry. They were hired secretly. Even if they get caught, no one can trace to you or the Hutt family."

Although Chris had been very cautious, Claus remained skeptical at everything now.

However, what was done was done. There was no turning back for him. He could only order them to finish as quickly as possible and then cut off the contact with them.

"Take the kid as far away as possible from the River City. I want her out of River City forever."

"But don’t kill the kid!"

As long as Emily was gone, it would be impossible for Halle and Horton to be

together!
