Chapter 1200 Stanley Is Gone

Initially, Alex was on the verge of losing control. Something might even have happened between him and Jessica. However, that phone call was like a bucket of cold water that poured over him from head to toe, extinguishing the spark of desire within him.

The person who called him was Zachary. Stanley was learning martial arts with the latter recently, and sometimes, they were so busy that they did not return home at night.

All of that came so suddenly that if it weren't for the fact that it was his father saying that, Alex would not have believed it was true.

Stanley was not only accompanied by Zachary, a second-phase Grandmaster. Wanda was also guarding. him. With a second-phase Grandmaster and a half Grandmaster there, even if someone from the secret world came, they would not be able to kidnap Stanley without anyone noticing it.

"Could you have been mistaken, Dad? Stanley is playful, and he might just playing hide-and-seek with you! How could he possibly be missing?" Alex could not bring himself to believe it and tried to comfort himself by saying that.

On the other end of the phone, Zachary replied anxiously, "I've gone to Sakura Club, the dojo at home, and even Skyworth Clinic, but I couldn't replace any sign of him. He really has gone missing."

Having received a definite answer, Alex felt chilled to the core. Since his own father had said as much, it seemed that Stanley had really gone missing.

After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Jessica. His desire earlier had disappeared completely, leaving only immense worry for Stanley.

Taking off his coat, he draped it over her and said apologetically, "Stanley is missing. Take good care of yourself, and don't overthink things. You're a good woman."

After saying that, he left resolutely, leaving Jessica to stare blankly at his retreating figure. Tears escaped her eyes.

She had noticed every subtle reaction of his just now, and she was so close. With just a step more, she could have become his woman.

Upon returning to the Jefferson residence, Alex looked at the anxious Zachary and asked, "What exactly happened, Dad? Have you really searched everywhere? Did you miss any place Stanley likes to go?" Zachary sighed in self-recrimination. "As usual, I taught him martial arts at the martial arts club. There was no one suspicious throughout it all. I only went to get a drink of water, and he suddenly went missing. At that time, I didn't sense the presence of any other martial artists. Wanda was busy cooking and wasn't around. He just vanished without a trace."

Alex listened carefully, noting the lack of any other martial artists.

He didn't sense the presence of any other martial artist. Could it be that Stanley left on his own? But if that's the case. he would've informed his grandfather when he's such a sensible child. What exactly happened here? Without any leads, searching for a child in this big city is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

No matter how difficult it might be, he would never give up on searching for Stanley. After all, that was his

son.

As he was feeling helpless, Kate came over with Emmalyn in her arms. She gently patted the man on the

arm and said, "Don't worry, Alex. Stanley is blessed by the heavens, so he'll surely be fine."

"Hopefully!" Alex said solemnly. At the moment, he was restless, unable to sit still for even a minute. The absence of Stanley only indicated that the boy was still in danger.

Despite Kate's words, she was inwardly overjoyed. She wanted nothing more than for Stanley to be kidnapped by some kidnapper.

It'd be even better if that brat were to throw a tantrum and end up killed in the process! At that time, Emmalyn will be Alex's only child, and all his assets will belong to the Sutton family!

Left with no other choice, Alex took out his phone and called Flynn. The latter was the king of the underworld forces in Nebula City, and his connections were incredibly vast. Hence, asking him to help. replace a child would be a relatively simple task for him.

The ringing tone rang a few times before the call was answered.

"Where are you now, Flynn? I need your help with something. Please gather all your men and help replace Stanley. He has gone missing!" Alex said anxiously.

"Well... Um... Don't worry, Alex. I've found Stanley, and I'll bring him back right away," Flynn said somewhat awkwardly.
