Chapter 50 Bringing Chloe Home

"Chloel"

Luke screamed as he jolted awake from his dream.

The sky outside was just beginning to lighten, and Luke turned toward my direction. His eyes lit up with joy as he immediately lunged toward me. "Chloe, you're finally back!"

It was clear he was aiming for a hug, but he missed entirely, crashing heavily onto the floor instead.

The fall was enough to knock whatever sleepiness he lul left right out of him.

He rubbed his head, blinking as he looked around. Despite me standing directly in front of him, gazing down at him from above, his pupils reflected only the uttering curtains-there was no sign of me. For a moment. I thought he could actually see me, and startled me.

Luke chuckled mockingly at himself, "Chloe's still overseas. How could she be here?"

He glanced at the time. He'd only managed to get two hours of sleep the whole night.

Now, his head was pounding, and as he massaged his temples, he dialed Roy's number. I guessed Roy must have received some news by now.

Beep... beep... beep...

The call wouldn't connect, and Luke's frown deepened with each passing second.

Just as he was about to hang up, the line finally picked up.

"Roy, what's going on?"

"Mr. Bolton, we've got a serious problem. We haven't even made it to the Scam Center yet, and we've already run into a local faction gunfight. Now... Boom! There was a loud, almost deafening explosion on the other end. The line went silent after the blast.

"Roy! Can you hear me?" Luke shouted, but there was no response.

His mind was in turmoil. He immediately instructed someone to investigate

It wasn't long before the situation became clear-overseas was in chaos.

Chedor, as it turned out, had never been unified. The country had been divided up by various warlords.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides and positioned a major shipping route, Chedor had become a haven for all kinds of international criminal organizations. Every day in the country was filled with disorder. Any profitable venture was undoubtedly built on illegal

foundations.

Known as the City of Sin, human lives were the cheapest commodity in Chedor, and ruthless bosses didn't hesitate to treat people as mere goods to be sold.

Luke had originally thought that paying enough money would easily bring Chloe back. But now, everything had gone wrong from the very start.

He paced around the room in a panic, his thoughts jumbled. Just then, Stanley brought him some news

"Mr. Bolton, Roy's luck's not too good. He arrived just as the two factions were fighting. The area's been locked down, and we can't reach him. The situation is escalating, and if we don't act fast, things might get

worse.

"If we don't get her out soon. I'm afraid there will be complications later."

"I understand."

Luke hung up, his emotions torn. He was caught between his obligations to his power and the time he had spent with me.

What would he choose?

Luke made a trip to the Sanders residence.

When he arrived, the family was having dinner. I saw my parents holding a bowl with my ashes in it. Even though they didn't know, it still felt unsettling to see it

Luke's here? Arnold, set another utensil for him."

Compared to Luke's haggard appearance, my parents looked much better in terms of health. t was the weekend, and both of my older brothers were home. They were very friendly toward Luke.

"Luke, you look so down. Haven't you heard anything about Chloe?"

"This girl's been spoiled by us since she was little. Don't be too hard on her. Actually, there's nothing to worry about. She's a grown woman now. How could she just disappear? She's probably hiding somewhere to mess with you, just like a kid. She wants attention, and if no one gives her any, she'll give up."

Slap!

Luke slammed the spoon he had just picked up onto the table.

The Sanders, after all, didn't hold the same status as the Boltons, so everyone there was careful about what they said, depending on Luke's mood.

Seeing him angry, they all stopped and looked at him. Luke, what's wrong?"

Luke's eyes reddened slightly, and his voice trembled. Chloe might be in trouble.

"In trouble? What could possibly happen to her? Don't worry; she's probably with her friends."

"I've searched everywhere, and there's no trace of Chloe. A lot of women have gone missing recently. Chloe told me she was being followed before she disappeared. The last call she made was for me to save her. At the time, I thought it was just one of her pranks so I ignored it, but now....

My mother lost her usual calm demeanor. "What happened to Chloe?"

"She was kidnapped and smuggled to Chedor by sea.

Clang!

My mother dropped her fork in shock. "No, Chloe is the heiress of Sanders. How could she? Luke, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I wish I were wrong, but it's been over 20 days, and there's still no news. If something had happened to her, the police would have contacted us to identify her body. In this day and age, it's impossible to disappear without leaving a trace. So there's only one answer-she was taken. I thought I should tell you

all

I stared at my family, wondering what their reaction would be once they found out what had happened to

1. mc.

My mombegan pacing in the dining room, muttering to herself, "It's all that girl's fault, running around for no reason. Now she's been kidnapped-feels good, doesn't it? And what kind of place is Chedor? Women who end up there, they don't make it out alive At first, she was scolding me, but by the end, she crouched down, her voice breaking into tears. "Oh my god, what are we going to do?"

My dad lifted her up and comforted her. "Don't panic. We still can't confirm that Chloe's there. Luke, is your information reliable?"

Things are chaotic in Chedor right now, I've made some inquiries through an intermediary. Though I haven't seen Chloe directly, the intermediary said there's a woman who looks just like her. The timing of her capture, along with the injury to her waist and the position where her wedding dress was stabbed, all match. It's almost certainly Chloe."

"My poor daughter. Honey, we need to go to Chedor, Right now."

"Calm down. From what I know, Chedor is a mess right now. If we're going, we need to prepare."

My dad appeared calm and collected. "I have à contact there. I'll get in touch with him and arrange for

mercenaries.

"Dad, let's go together. Forget what Chloe might've done. She's still our sister. How can we leave her there?"

"No, you have to stay here. The company can't go without leadership for even one day." My dad turned to Luke. "Luke, you're coming with me."

Luke hesitated, a flicker of hesitation on his face. "I

"I know what you're worried about. If the news about Chloe being kidnapped in Chedor gets out, it will damage your family's reputation. I've also heard Care has been making moves lately. But you should know this-Jeffrey's fond of Chloe. If you don't go, how will Jeffrey see you?

"If this gets out, do you want everyone calling you a coward, betraying your family, and being a heartless sc*undrel?

"Alright, I'll go!"
