Chapter 442Chapter 442 Mom Is Missing
After waiting for quite a while, Paula listened to the continuous "beep" sound from the other side, hung
up, and threw the phone directly onto the couch next to her.
"Paul, he didn't answer."
At that, Paul's frown deepened.
A few seconds later, he stepped on his long legs, picked up his suit coat, and walked quickly toward the
door.
"No, I'll go and find her myself!"
Lucia had been missing for twelve hours.He had sent his men, called the police, and waited for so long
without any news.He couldn't wait any longer.
"Paull!"
Paula hurriedly followed him.
"I'll go with you..."
Before she finished her words, Paul turned around and said ina deep voice, "You stay here and look
after Timothy and Janet."
Hearing that, Paula paused.
Only then did she suddenly remember that there were still two little ones at home.She sighed and
watched Paul leave.She was so worried that her heart was in her mouth.Suddenly, a small rustling sound came from the side.She turned to see the door of the bedroom open
with a narrow slit, where Timothy and Janet poked their heads out and stared at her with big eyes.
Timothy wasn't embarrassed when he was caught.
Instead, he stepped out and cautiously asked, "Auntie, where on earth is Mom?"
Paula's heart was soft and her eyes were a little teary.
She took a deep breath, stepped forward, picked Timothy up, and said softly, "Mom has something to
take care of.She'll be back soon.Don't worry..."
Timothy put his arm around her neck and his eyes turned red.
"Auntie, you're lying to me.
Mom is missing, isn’t she?"
At once, Paula was left speechless.
Facing his clear eyes, she simply couldn't keep lying to him.
Seeing that Timothy was about to burst into tears, she hastily carried him to the bedroom.
"Well, Timothy, let's watch your favorite astronomy documentary.Mom will be back after an episode..."
Meanwhile, in the living room, Janet heard the phone vibrating and slowly walked to the couch.
Seeing the flashing phone, she hesitated and pressed the answer button.She had just put the phone to
her ear when a man’s cold voice came from the other end.
"Hello? What is it?"Janet paused for half a second and asked hesitantly, "Uncle Charming?"
The voice on the phone was exactly the same as Uncle Charming's.
The caller obviously paused for a moment, and soon, his voice came again.
"Janet?"
novelbinUpon hearing that, Janet got a little excited.
"Uncle Charming, it’s really you! I...I’m Janet!"
Listening to the familiar voice of the little girl at the other end, August unconsciously raised the corners
of his mouth and his voice slowed down a bit.
He had been busy all day today, with an important meeting in the morning, golf in the afternoon,
afternoon tea, and a dinner party in the evening.
Twenty minutes ago, he had just won the project at the table, and only then was he able to breathe a
sigh of relief and pick up his phone to check.
Unexpectedly, he found several missed calls from Paul, in addition to a call from Paula.
What were they up to? Why did they keep calling him? He was tired and had a headache after a long
day, so he didn’t want to call back, but when he thought that it was Lucia’s birthday today, he hesitated
and called Paula back, only to find that the cute little Janet’s voice came through from the other end.
Instantly, his heart softened and he felt a bit better.
Paul was annoying, but it had to be admitted that Timothy and Janet were like little angels, who were
so adorable and sweet that it was hard to turn them down.His voice softened as August patiently asked, "Janet, why did you call me all of a sudden?"
"Uncle Charming..."
Janet's little face wrinkled and she sounded aggrieved.
"Mom...Mom is missing..."
August was stunned when he heard that.His grip on the phone tightened and his body unconsciously
stiffened.
"What did you say?"
Janet was sobbing and her voice was muffled.
"Mom is missing...Dad and others have been looking for her all day and they haven't found her...Uncle
Charming, can you help us find Mom..."
Nevertheless, August still heard her words, and his eyebrows furrowed.
When he thought of those missed calls from Paul and Paula, he suddenly had some idea.
If it weren't for Lucia, Paul wouldn't have called him.
Thinking that, he couldn't sit still anymore.
The sound of sobs from the other end made him feel like his heart was being crushed into a ball and it
was depressing.
"Don't worry, Janet.Uncle Charming will help you find Mom! After reassuring Janet, he hung up the
phone, got up, and walked out straight away.It had only been a day and Lucia was in trouble! He
walked out quickly and bumped into Burton who was coming over."Sir..."
August's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Get the car ready.Let's go back to Austos City!"
Burton was confused.
He followed August and said, "We just signed a contract with Mr.Robinson, so I’m afraid it's not a good
idea to leave like this..."
August looked cold and said in a determined voice, "Go now!"
Burton’s back tightened when he saw that.He promptly swallowed back the rest of his words.
"Yes!"
After that, he immediately strode ahead and instructed the driver to get the car over at once.
Once in the car, Burton finally had time to ask, "Sir, what happened?"
August had always been calm and self-possessed.
Burton had rarely seen him so anxious.
"Go and check Lucia's whereabouts today."
After saying that, August immediately fished out his phone and called Joshua directly.
"Beep..."
It rang for quite a while, but no one answered.Instantly, a wave of irritation came over him uncontrollably.He stretched out his right hand to loosen his
tie at the collar and undo the top two buttons.
Since Lucia was targeted by Ethan last time, he had had Joshua send someone to secretly protect her.
If something happened to Lucia today, Joshua would surely know about it! A few minutes later, the
phone that he had tossed aside suddenly flashed.
He picked it up to see that it was Joshua calling.
Just as he pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear, he heard the sound of a powerful
techno song coming from the other end, in addition to the cacophony of men and women.
He subconsciously frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
At the other end, Joshua chuckled and replied half-jokingly, "Heaven on earth."
Instantly, August's face darkened.
"Something happened to Lucia.Do you know that?"
"What?"
Joshua seemed a little surprised.
Then it sounded like he walked to the side and the music sounded a little lower.
"August, what did you just say? I didn’t hear it."
August suppressed his anger.
"Lucia is missing.""Missing? How can that be?"
Joshua justifiably said, "My men have been watching over her for more than half a month.It's her
birthday today and she is with Paul, so I had my men take a break.So how could she have
disappeared?"
Hearing Joshua's indifferent voice from the other end, August clenched his other hand into a fist.
He almost gritted his teeth as he said, "Joshua!"
"What's wrong, August? It’s been so long since Ethan's men showed up last time.It's not too much for
us to take a break, is it?"
August said soberly, "She is in trouble.Tell your men to find her now!"
After that, he hung up the phone straight away!
