My Mommy Is A CEO

Arthur stared at the screen, understanding Kane’s thought process but unable to ignore other possibilities.

Seeing no sign of Arthur’s tense emotions easing up, Kane sighed inwardly. Just then, Juliana called to ask for an update on the situation. Kane got up and walked over to talk to his wife.

“Kane, you need to stabilize Arthur’s emotions. You can’t let him break down,” Juliana kept reminding her husband.

“I know that, but Arthur’s mood swings are unpredictable. He seems uplifted one moment and completely despondent the next. I can’t leave his side right now because I’m afraid he might sink into depression at any moment,” Kane said with a furrowed brow.

“Arthur… he could hold up the entire world but cannot bear the pain of losing Lucia. Kane, I can’t go be with him right now. All I can do is entrust him in your care,” Juliana said without fear of being misunderstood since Arthur was like her brother after all.

“I understand,” Kane nodded in agreement before he could ask about their son’s condition. Suddenly, a loud noise came from Arthur’s side, and he was startled as he turned his head to look. There, he saw Arthur with wide eyes, already standing up and slamming his hands on the table, staring intently at the screen. A sense of foreboding rushed over him, and he quickly ended the call with his wife and walked back to Arthur’s side.

“Arthur, what happened?”

“Jacob found it.” The tone in Arthur’s voice was as cold as if it were submerged in an icy cave.

“What?” Kane frowned deeply before hurrying over towards the screen where they saw that Lucia’s location had shifted away from their previous estimate and veered off towards left instead.

“This…” For a moment or two, Kane didn’t know what else to say or do about this sudden turn of events.

“When you were talking on phone with Juliana earlier just now, I noticed that our locator suddenly stopped moving for less than ten minutes before changing direction abruptly afterwards. Jacob must have found something!” As soon as these words left his mouth again did he slam both fists onto table causing coffee cups atop it shaking violently.

If Jacob had found something then did this mean Lucia…?

Kane shared the same concern as Arthur, but at this moment, he was not only worried about Lucia but also about Arthur. He glanced at the faintly pulsing veins on Arthur’s temples, and his wife’s warning came back to him once again.

“Arthur… what do you plan on doing?” asked Kane carefully.

Arthur’s normally lavender eyes now looked exceptionally dark as he stared at the tracker. After confirming the significant change in its route, Arthur abruptly closed the notebook and picked up his phone to dial a number.

Miles had been staying at home with his wife, and their phones were placed on the coffee table in front of them. Most of the time, they both stared at them without saying a word. But when Miles’ phone suddenly rang, they were both startled.

Miles quickly picked up the phone and told his wife, “It’s Mr. Davies.” He then answered the call.

“Mr. Davies, what’s the progress?” Miles asked anxiously.

“Mr. Wood, Jacob may have discovered Lucia’s locator already. I need you to contact Sage immediately and file a case with the police station to identify Jacob’s false identity and issue a nationwide arrest warrant,” Arthur said without hesitation,

“But remember that this cannot be made public to avoid any leaks or Jacob discovering our actions in advance.”

Without Lucia’s location information, Arthur did not want to take any risks. The police force was now his best option for tracking down Jacob’s whereabouts.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Miles was not one to panic; he simply said, “Okay, I’ll do it right away!”

After hanging up the phone and calming down his worried wife, Miles immediately contacted Sage and left with some people by his side – Arthur had made it clear that they could not let Jacob go!

At noon on that day, Miles and Sage arrived at the police station with Leon and other brothers from Athegate gang. They exposed Jacob’s false identity as well as revealed that he was currently kidnapping Lucia who was a famous figure within Athegate. With Arthur’s influence behind them, the case received high attention from authorities almost instantly. Within two hours, an arrest warrant for Jacob had been issued throughout all internal systems.

After filing a report, Sage who acted as an informant needed to be detained along with Leon who voluntarily surrendered themselves but those who refused were locked up separately. However, Miles emphasized their special status within Athegate towards law enforcement officials after which he informed Arthur about everything hoping this would make a difference somehow.

But even after receiving Miles’ reply, Arthur didn’t let down his guard yet. Until now all actions against Jacob remained mere speculations or predictions so far. He couldn’t afford taking any risks whatsoever so he gathered everyone together again for redeployment,

“Jack and Victor will lead one team each following direction of locator’s signal. Regardless of circumstances during interception, we must stop whoever holds onto the locator then report back directly.”

“Alright! Let’s go!” Jack and Victor immediately set off after hearing Arthur’s words, taking five bodyguards with them on the helicopter to track the locator.

“Nick, Gene, Kane, Kyle, each of you take a team to guard the other four boat owners who may help Jacob smuggle in. Once you find any trace of Jacob and his group, report it immediately!” Arthur said again.

Nick, Gene and Kyle had no objections and set off with their teams. However, Kane hesitated. Even though Arthur appeared unusually calm at this moment, he knew that he was suppressing feelings of helplessness and regret deep down. He couldn’t leave his side. So Kane said,

“Arthur, let Ethan take people over to my side instead. I’ll stay here with you.”

“No way! Although Ethan is very capable in crisis situations like this one, we need your decision-making skills too,” Arthur immediately rejected Kane’s suggestion.

“But…” Kane didn’t dare say that he wanted to watch over him.

“Hurry up! Every second counts when it comes to unknown dangers,” Arthur was resolute.

Kane didn’t want to delay any longer after hearing what Arthur said so firmly. Despite having countless doubts in his heart, he could only set off before leaving a final reminder for Arthur,

“Arthur, I know you’re worried about Lucia but I believe we can successfully rescue her from Jacob. He doesn’t have superpowers or anything like that. Just stay calm, okay?”

Arthur understood what Kane meant very well. Naturally, he nodded along with him but as soon as he turned around his eyes sank once more into despair
