Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 493 Let Her Go

Study Room

When the news that the two children were missing from the Blackwood family reached Michael Cooper's ears, his brow immediately furrowed.

"They're gone? She wouldn't hand the kids over to someone else, would she? Have you checked properly?" he asked. David nodded.

"The people we sent out have reported back. The kids aren't there, and their exact whereabouts are currently unknown, so..." David hesitated before continuing, "It'll take some time to locate their next destination." "How long?"

"That... I'm not sure. They drove for half an hour before entering a stretch with no surveillance cameras. After that, our people lost track of them."

Understanding the implication, Michael Cooper didn't need any further explanation. Had their people arrived too late? Otherwise, how could the other party have left at just the right time?

As a thought struck him, Michael Cooper fixed a stern gaze on David.

"How would they know?"

David didn't catch on at first: "What?"

"Did you leak the information?" He stared at David like he was looking at an ant, "Do you want her to die?"

David was puzzled. "?"

He thought he had misunderstood, but after a moment, it dawned on him what Michael Cooper meant.

"Do you think I leaked the news, Mr. Cooper?"

"Didn't you? How else could they leave early? They even conveniently took a route without surveillance? Or are you saying you didn't play some part in this?"

At that, David pressed his lips together and fell silent.

After a long pause, he finally spoke up, "If you mistrust me this much, Mr. Cooper, maybe you should replace someone else to do the job."

"You know why I've kept you around."

"Yes, Mr. Cooper, you asked me to ensure Ms. Hansen's safety, and I'm worried about Ms. Hansen too. With her current situation, how could I possibly leak any information?" Michael Cooper scrutinized him, noting that his tone was normal, and remembering that if David hadn't cared about Eva, he wouldn't have dared help her escape initially. Now that Eva's life was in danger, it was unlikely he would betray her.

But... it was not beyond reason that he might be doing this deliberately, using Eva's life to force Michael to let her go, to give up on her.

With that thought, Michael Cooper chuckled coldly, "How many years have you been with me?"

David remained silent.

"You know my temperament and character," Michael Cooper's fingertips lightly tapped the desk, revealing his impatience. "If I can bring her back to my side a second time, there will be a third time and a fourth time. So, you better not get any wrong ideas. And this time, I don't intend to let her go."

A slight smile crossed Michael Cooper's lips as he spoke.

This was the first time he had smiled since Eva's incident.

But the smile that spread across his lips was very unsettling, not just in timing but also in the curvature of the grin-it appeared quite sinister.

David had an extremely ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the next second he heard Michael Cooper say, "Even if she dies, she can only stay by my side."

Previously, he had used her life to provoke Michael Cooper into letting her go. At that time, Michael Cooper seemed quite terrified, probably because he had clearly experienced what it felt like to lose someone dear to him, which was why he had locked himself away in the study for a long time.

But David hadn't expected him to change so quickly...

"Surprised? This is a decision I've just made. Now that you know, go take care of it."

After leaving Michael Cooper's study, David felt his steps become airy as he walked.

How did things get this far?

Why... did it turn out this way?

Ms. Hansen, how could she leave this place? Could it be... she really had to die here before Michael Cooper would be content?

David couldn't believe that Michael Cooper could be so cruel. Perhaps, he was only saying those words to spur him on and make him replace the two children faster.

With this thought, David suddenly came to his senses.

That's right, Michael Cooper must still be worried about something happening to Ms. Hansen. If he wasn't concerned, why would he be so anxious about not being able to replace the two children? But there had been no leak of information; inexplicably, someone had suddenly taken the children on a trip, and when they left, they didn't even inform anyone at the villa where they were going. What should he do if he didn't replace the two children? Without replaceing them, Eva certainly had little hope of surviving, but if he found the two children, there might be no turning back for her in the future. He needed to make a decision quickly. After much thought, David made a decision in his heart.

After David left, Michael Cooper remained alone in the study.

His expression was sullen, his aura ice-cold, giving off an exceedingly misanthropic vibe.

His cellphone rang, and Michael Cooper glanced at the caller ID. His gaze flickered slightly before he answered the call a moment later.

"Grandfather?"

His tone wasn't particularly good but it wasn't bad either-just a normal way of speaking.

However, the words he heard from the other end of the call caused his expression to turn ice-cold.

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Cooper Sr.'s cold snort echoed loudly from the other end of the phone. "What do I mean? You know exactly what I am talking about. Is that Hansen girl with you or not? What exactly are you planning to do with her, you scoundrel?" Michael Cooper's lips thinned, and he fell silent.

"Send the girl back home immediately! Stop giving me headaches!"

"Have you spoken to the Blackwood family?"

"Whoever I've spoken with doesn't matter. If I say do it, you do it."

Mr. Cooper Sr.'s words carried authority and domineering command-not as if he wanted to discuss matters but rather as if he were ordering him, instructing him.

Seeing that Michael Cooper didn't respond, Mr. Cooper Sr. questioned further, "I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?"

But Michael Cooper simply started to laugh softly.

The laughter was deep, yet to the person on the other end of the phone, it seemed extremely eerie.

"You little rascal, what are you laughing at?"

Michael Cooper laughed for a full minute while the old man on the other end nearly burst with anger before he finally stopped.

"Grandfather, if you don't mind me asking, did you use the same tone when you forced my mother to marry that thing?"

The description of 'that thing' caught Mr. Cooper Sr. off guard, and it took him a while to realize whom he was referring to. He immediately became furious, "You brat, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? That is your father!" "Oh, is that so? As my father, what has he done? What responsibilities has he fulfilled?" Michael Cooper scoffed coldly, "He's nothing but a murderer who killed my mother!"

"No matter how unworthy he may be, he is still your father!"

"I have no father."

Mr. Cooper Sr. was livid but after thinking of the disgraceful acts his own son had committed, he decide he didn't want to argue for the sake of such a useless man this with his grandson. He was actually quite satisfied with the way his grandson wielded power as the head of the family.

"Forget it. Whether you acknowledge it or not doesn't matter, just let the Hansen girl go."
