Chapter 1697
"Tell us what?!" Maria refused to back down.
"Why should she? Just because you said so? Do you have any evidence? If my daughter did kidnap your son, show us the
evidence!" "Evidence?" Elijah snorted coldly.
"My son, Austin Fike, is the best evidence! He's recovering from what happened.
How can what he said and saw with his own eyes be false? | will not let this slide if you don't hand Rhea over today.
It'd be useless even if you try to get Secretary Rollins to help! Nothing will work!" Before coming over, Elijah had already done all
the preparatory work he should have done.
The police station reported the case and informed the higher- ups for fear that Cameron would overshadow it.
Although Cameron had always been upright with a good reputation, the incident with the vaccine development project a while ago
made everyone question him.
On top of that, Elijah was unfamiliar with Cameron, so he had to keep a good hand.

Hearing how Elijah had called out Fabian's trump card, he suddenly realized that things were more challenging than they seemed.
The other party probably had done their background work before showing up so unscrupulously.
"Calm down," Fabian said in a relaxed tone, "We're not enemies until we clarify this.
You trust your son, and | trust my daughter.
Why not let the two meet to talk it out and tell us what happened?" Upon saying that, he glanced at his wife sideways, signaling
her.
Maria understood it right away.
Regardless, she needed to inform Rhea about this beforehand so she could prepare herself.
After all, it was unknown what the Fikes would do.
“All right! Call Rhea out now!" Elijah had already sent smen to spy on Rhea.
When they reported that she had entered the house, he immediately surrounded the place before he cknocking at the door.
At this moment, he was not afraid of not getting a hold of Rhea.
He would turn this place upside down if her parents did not willingly hand her over.
Elijah was not afraid of her escaping.
Fabian smiled and said, "It's not that we don't want to call her out, but she's not home.
That child has always been obsessed with work and hasn't chfor many days.
If you don't believe me, ask my wife..." Maria was displeased at the lies they were telling, but after Fabian winked at her, she could
only angrily play along.
"That's right.
Ree hasn't been hfor days." Then she could not help but add, "She's obsessed with her work and experimenting.
She spends her days locked up in the laboratory.
She doesn't even have tto go to the mall.
“How can she have the tto kidnap your son? Besides, what's the use of kidnapping him? We're not short of money, so there's
no need to use him as ransom." "Ask that vicious daughter of yours!" Michelle spat.
She saw her son's condition with her own eyes.

The remnants of torture were evident on his body, and his previous high-spirited self was gone.
Now, he seemed like an empty shell with no soul.
‘Austin was the one who mentioned Rhea's name, so it must be her! Maybe she’s sick in the head! There are so many psychopaths
around, and Rhea could be one of them!” "Enough talking.
Hand Ms. Moore over!" The duo was getting a little impatient.
The couple wished to barge in and pull Rhea out and torture her.
"I told you.
Ree isn't home," Fabian explained patiently.
However, the cold smile on Elijah's face exposed Fabian's lies.
" Mr. Moore, there's no use lying here.
Frankly speaking, my men saw your daughter return with their own eyes, and we cover immediately.
How can you say she's not home? Do you take us as fools?" "What?! How can | not know whether my daughter is home? | think
your men must be hallucinating!" Fabian was in disbelief.
