Chapter 817 - Kidnapped  



Chapter 817: Kidnapped

When she saw Herbert, a smile appeared on Clarice’s face. Herbert walked over and stuffed the stack of photos into her hand. He said, “Take back the photos. I won’t be your friend.”

Clarice was angry.

She gripped the photo tightly and questioned Herbert. “Why?”

Herbert said, “I don’t like you. You’re too unreasonable and not obedient at all.” Seeing that Clarice was still looking at him, Herbert thought for a moment and said, “You’re very annoying. Let’s not meet again. Let’s never meet again. I’ll return the photo to you. Look at it yourself if you like!”

With that, Herbert turned and left mercilessly.

Clarice glared at his back and could not help but scold, “Bad guy!” Big bad guy!

If she had known that he was an ingrate, she would have called the police and told them about him burying the corpse! Clarice returned home angrily with the photo. She threw the photo into the bin and carried the shell to town. As she walked, she said, “If you still don’t apologize to me when I come back from town, we’ll break up!”

Clarice was still young and easily angered.

If she was calm, she would be able to sense that Herbert’s reaction was too unusual. Also, his last sentence—

I’ll return the photo to you. Look at it yourself if you like it!

These words were clearly very strange. How could a boy, an introverted and sensible boy, say such nonsense?

Unfortunately, Clarice was really angry and did not notice anything strange.

She did not go to town alone. She brought a bodyguard with her. She came to Aaron’s shop and saw Aaron, who had returned from Washington. The last time she came, Clarice had already placed an order. This time, Aaron could just make her a necklace.

“I’ve already designed the design of the necklace. Little kid, take a look.”

Alan took out three designs and showed them to Clarice.

Clarice immediately liked the second one. The design of the necklace was not gorgeous, but it was unique and suited Julia’s gentle temperament. “I want this.”

“Alright, wait a moment. About an hour.”

Alan took her seashell and went to the workshop.

Clarice toured the shop for a while and wanted to use the toilet, so she said to the bodyguard, Kevin, “I’m going to the washroom.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Clarice was a girl after all, so it was not convenient for Kevin to follow her too closely when she went to the toilet. This was only a small shop, and the toilet did not differentiate between men and women. There was only one room with two toilet doors. Clarice finished relieving herself and just stood up, about to open the door and go out.

Before her hand could grab the door handle, her mouth was covered by a big palm.

Clarice widened her eyes and subconsciously reached for the small gun at her waist. The person behind her noticed her actions and quickly hit her hand. The gun fell from Clarice’s hand into the toilet. Clarice was grabbed by the person and her neck was suddenly hit hard.

Before Clarice fainted, she saw a familiar smiling man’s face.

Kevin waited outside the door for five to six minutes, but Clarice did not come out. Out of the vigilance of an elite bodyguard, he frowned and felt that something was wrong.

Kevin walked into the toilet and knocked on the two closed doors.

A woman’s voice came from the door on the left. “There’s someone inside,” the woman said.

Kevin knocked on another door.

There was no answer from inside, but the door was locked.

Kevin jumped into the air. He leaned his hands on the top of the door frame and looked inside. There was no one inside, but Clarice’s small gun had fallen into the toilet. Kevin’s expression changed drastically. He immediately called the police and climbed out of the window.

Outside the window was a lawn. It did not rain these days, and the sound of footsteps could not be heard on the lawn.

There was finally a crack on Kevin’s usually calm face.

The news that the Lawson family’s daughter had disappeared while on vacation in Monterey made New York headlines.

The impact of this matter was too wide, and it gave the police officers in the Monterey area a lot of pressure. The police station immediately gathered the police force and searched for the murderer with all their might to track down Clarice. The superior roared in the office. He was very angry, as if he had eaten a firecracker.

Jimmy sneered and said sarcastically, “Previously, when something happened, you were only thinking about whitewashing the peace. Now that the murderer has extended his claws to the daughter of the Lawson family, you finally know how to be anxious.” As a police officer, Jimmy should not be gloating like this.

However, he really could not stand his superior’s annoying appearance.

He did not hide his voice. Many people heard him, but this time, no one underestimated him, including his superior.

Herbert heard the news when he was buying groceries in town.

Herbert’s expression changed the moment he heard the news.

At this time, several hours had passed since Clarice disappeared.

The police were vigorously investigating every family in this town. Not only was their town under martial law, but the few towns next door were also under martial law. The Lawson family was the most mysterious top family in America, and the missing Miss Lawson was reputed to be the greatest hope of the Lawson family in this generation.

Her disappearance was frightening.

Herbert bought some groceries and went home.

When he got home, he entered the basement immediately.

He saw Clarice. Clarice was sleeping on that bed, her small body tied up, but the culprit, Robert, was not here. He was still pretending to work at the company in the afternoon!

Jimmy was in this town again.

Clarice had gone missing from the small craft shop. The owner of the shop involved had been temporarily placed under guard. He was the first suspect. Clarice’s sister, Julia, was clearly still sick, but she had dragged her sick body into the shop and said kind words to every police officer who entered the house.

The head of the Lawson family was heading over. The Lawson family’s butler in California had already arrived in the town.

The usually calm town instantly became noisy.

Herbert could hear the sirens in town as he stood outside his house. His face was pale. He clenched his fists. He had to act. Clarice could not die! She was so cute and lively. She was so good to him!

Clarice was already awake.

She stared at the woman in the corner and sized her up. She had already guessed this person’s identity.

She said, “You’re Herbert’s mother?”

Xiao Meng did not expect the person captured this time to know Herbert.

Xiao Meng’s expression changed slightly. She asked Clarice, “Are you our Xiaobao’s classmate?”

Clarice shook her head.

“I live next door.”

Xiao Meng was stunned. She had heard that the villa next door was the vacation villa of a rich family. She did not expect the owner of the house to be a child. Looking at the child’s young face, Xiao Meng’s heart ached.

This child looked about the same age as her Xiao Bao.
