Chapter 471 I’ll Deal With You When I Return

In other words, Rosie didn’t return home that morning and then appeared at a cafe at 2:30 p.m. So, thekidnapping must have taken place between the afternoon and evening.

Elias looked at Amanda and asked, “Which cafe was it?”

“It’s the Lily Cafe on Tessin Road.”

After getting the name, Elias immediately picked up his phone and dialed the bodyguard’s number,giving orders, “Go to the Lily Cafe and check the surveillance footage from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Rosie wentto that cafe.”

“Yes, Mr. Winters.”

After hanging up the phone, Elias returned to reality and looked at Amanda, asking, “Why did you go tothat cafe?”

“I… went to meet a friend.”

She chose to keep the phone call from the stranger a secret. After all, she had no evidence and hadn’teven seen the man. Even if she told Elias, he might not believe her.

Elias let out a disdainful laugh. “A friend… Are you talking about Simon Nicholson? I interrupted yourdate yesterday, and you two made up for it today while I wasn’t home. You two seem quite close.”

“That’s nonsense!”

“You shouldn’t have let him send you home. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about date today,” Eliasmocked her, clearly showing his jealousy.

“Elias, you’ve gone too far. Today, I…”

your

She stopped halfway through her sentence, suddenly realizing that Rosie appeared at that cafe beforeshe was kidnapped. How could there be such a coincidence? Could the stranger who called her todaywant to kidnap her but mistook Rosie for her? It seemed possible.

“Why did

you stop? I’d like to hear the rest of your explanation.” Amanda suddenly became serious and askedElias, “Are you sure that the person who kidnapped Rosie is your enemy? 1 also received a call from astranger today, asking me to go to the Lily Cafe. Could the kidnapper who wanted to kidnap memistook Rosie for me?”

“What happened? Who called you?”

It was an unknown number that I didn’t recognize However, the guy told me he wanted me

to be his defense lawyer and described a very brutal case. I couldn’t refuse him, so I agreed meet withhim and thought about handing the case over to Simon, but he said he had neve heard of such a caseand thought I might be tricked. That’s why he appeared at the cafe. H was there to protect me, afraidthat something might happen to me.”

After Amanda finished speaking, instead of understanding her, Elias became even angrier andsarcastically said, “So, when encountering such a situation, the first person you think of is not yourhusband, but your former colleague? Are you sure our relationship was harmonious before my caraccident?”

“I… Can you

be more reasonable? Simon is a lawyer. Since I can’t take this case right now, of course, I would handit over to him. You’re not a lawyer, so what’s the use of coming to you for this kind of thing?”

Amanda was furious. The man was deliberately picking a fight.

Right then, the bodyguard called, and Elias answered the call. “Speak!”

The bodyguard on the other end of the line reported, “Mr. Winters, we checked the surveillancefootage. Miss Momsey did enter that cafe but left around 3 p.m. We don’t know where she went afterthat, and the street surveillance didn’t capture her figure.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up the phone, Elias fell silent. They were stuck in a dead end again.

A while later, Elias looked at Amanda and said, “Let me see the unknown number that called youtoday.”

The kidnapper’s phone couldn’t be reached now, and he wanted to see if the phone number Amandareceived was the same as the one he received.

Amanda took out her phone and showed him the phone number. After looking, Elias realized it was notthe same number.

That meant the kidnapper might have used a different phone number for each call, which meant thatlocating him would be meaningless.

Boris walked in and said, “Mr. Winters, Mr. Momsey is here. He said he has something to discuss withyou. I couldn’t stop him, and he insisted on coming in…

Before he finished speaking, Taylor’s voice had already entered the living room. Elias. I have the cashready Did you receive the call

Taylor walked nuo the living room anxiously and noticed that Amanda was also present so berestrained himself a luule

Glancing at Boris, Elias said, “You can leave. We do have something to discuss.”

“Yes, Mr. Winters.”

Boris left the living room and asked the cleaning maid to leave too.

Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table vibrated as a call came in.

The three of them looked at the phone vibrating on the coffee table at the same time. Taylo urged,“Answer it quickly. It might be the kidnapper. Looking at the time, he might be callin to give us thelocation.”

Elias answered the call and put it on speakerphone. The stranger’s voice came from the othe end.“Elias, is the money ready? I’ve given you plenty of time, and the amount of money I asked for isnothing to you.”

“Stop talking nonsense. The money is ready. Where do we make the exchange? If you’re onl in it forthe money, I suggest that you not harm Rosie. Let me warn you, if she loses a single strand of hair, herbrother will never forgive you.”

Amanda found it strange when she heard Elias’ words. Why would he mention Taylor at suc amoment? Clearly, the kidnapper was his enemy, so why would they be afraid of Taylor?

At that moment, Taylor couldn’t help but shout, “Don’t touch my sister, or I won’t spare you!

The man on the other end of the phone laughed. “Enough with the chit-chat. Hurry up and bring themoney over, or I might accidentally kill my hostage. Go to 45 Empyrean Street. I’ll be waiting there.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Elias looked at the hung-up call and had a hunch that this person wouldn’t make the exchange soeasily.

“I’ll go there now.” Taylor turned around to leave, but Elias stood up and shouted to stop him. “How willyou contact the kidnapper when you get there? The kidnapper only calls me.”

“Come with me then. Hurry up and save Rosie.” Taylor turned back and yelled at Elias.

However, Elias glanced at Amanda and ordered, “Stay home and don’t go anywhere. I’ll deal with youwhen I return.”

Since the kidnapper’s target was Amanda, she couldn’t move about either, as it would be even moretroublesome if both of them were kidnapped together.

After that. Elias and Taylor left together.

tighten because her premonition had come true.

However, she didn’t notice a sneaky figure upstairs quietly sneaking into her room and the leavingquietly.

Amanda sat on the couch, praying that Rosie would be rescued. After all, she was Aiden’s savior, andAmanda didn’t want anything to happen to Rosie.
