Chapter 2876
Steven was beginning to get desperate when he saw Mr. and Mrs. Hughes leaving. He stood up and sprinted in their
direction, intending to catch them before they left. “There’s no need.” Gwen reached out to stop him. “There’s no
need to stop them.” With that, she whispered into her earpiece, “Have your father’s men arrived yet?”
“They have,” said Nigel, letting out a sigh of relief. “Previously, none of us could seem to find Uncle Sean’s exact
location.
“The Hughes family had a magnetic interruption device installed in their dungeon, and none of the people we’ve
sent, including Uncle Lucas, could navigate their way-the compasses didn’t work.
“However, the moment that woman called, the butler immediately ran into the dungeon to check, and by following
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim, we managed to find the place they kept Uncle Sean before this. I’m sure that we’ll easily be able to find him by
scouring around-they can’t have gone far.”
Nigel could not help adding, “You’re far smarter than I thought, Aunt Gwen!
“I thought that you had blurted out the truth when you tried to stop Mrs. Hughes, but I never knew you’d have done
it on purpose to raise her suspicions and make her give away Uncle Sean’s location herself! “I seem to have
underestimated you! You’re far smarter than I initially thought!”
Gwen could not help chuckling when she heard this. “Neither Luna nor Joshua are very good with their words, so
how could they possibly have given birth to such a sweet-talker like you?”
She could not help sighing as she added, “Your father was the one who taught me this trick.”
Joshua had reminded her before coming that Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were naturally very suspicious people. Since they
had committed plenty of crimes during their time, it would be easy to turn their doubts on themselves and make
them give away their own plans.
Therefore, he advised her to feed them some information that would easily manipulate them into giving themselves
away.
Initially, Gwen did not believe this would work. How could someone be so suspicious to this extent? However, when
she finally came face-to-face with Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, she could not help feeling even more respectful of Joshua’s
quick wit and intelligence.
It was no wonder this man could work through all the misunderstandings between him and Luna and get back
together with her.
This man was far more intelligent and thoughtful than anyone she had ever met.
“You have to give yourself credit, Aunt Gwen.” Nigel smiled. “There’s no need to credit my Daddy for everything-
he’s already smug enough!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter that, he continued to update Gwen on the search mission’s progress.
When she heard that the men had successfully tracked down Sean’s location, she finally let out a sigh of
relief as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulder, but…
Just as she was about to share the good news with Steven, his phone rang.
It was Denise.
He could hear the sound of the cold, harsh wind interspersed with a man’s screams from the other end of the line.
“Steven.” Denise’s voice was scratchy and hoarse as though she had been crying. “I’m so lucky to have been your
sister and to have met Sean in the last few moments of my miserable life.
“If
you ever come across Sean again, please tell him to live his life the way he deserves to. Goodbye.”
