Zorion restricted Elizen, pulled out a piece of gold from his pocket, and pried Elizen's mouth open, shoving the gold in.
Elizen was forced to swallow it.
Meanwhile, Zorion kept the gold wire away, and Elizen fell to the ground.
Standing aside, Zorion didn't even bother to give him a second look and walked away. Reaching the door, he gave his suit another quick dusting before he twisted the knob.
Hearing the door open, Jepherson got up on his feet and sized Zorion up before sitting back down. Zorion followed him, watching a movie on his phone until Jacky came back to resume the meeting.
Everyone returned apart from Elizen and his bodyguard. They waited for quite some time before Jacky dismissed the meeting, never suggesting looking forthem.
The trio went into their respective cars and sped straight to the Richards Group Manor. Upon Jacky's return to Green Jade Garden, Deanna ran out to hug him, on the verge of crying.
Wrapping his arms around her, Jacky asked,
"Where're the boys?" "The boys, they..." Deanna started bawling. Thinking something horrible happened to their children, Jacky separated them and cupped Deanna's cheek, comforting her, "Don't cry."
Deanna sniffled. "Raeleigh sent them away, saying they're somewhere safe. We don't need to worry about them."
Jacky beamed at the news, relieved of his worries.
Zorion came out of his car right then and sensed something was off when he saw Jacky and Deanna's expression.
"What's wrong?" Zorion asked coldly as he walked toward the couple.
"Cedric and Heitor... They were kidnapped. I..."
Zorion turned grim before Deanna could finish her words.
"B*stards! I'll go find them."
Rossie came out just then. "First Deanna and now her sons. Have you ever acted this recklessly for me?"
"Don't you know to consider my feelings when you let your emotions act for you?"
Zorion stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Rossie.
"Of course I would." "Raeleigh has sent the twins somewhere secure. What you need to do now is to find a way to help Raeleigh. She has used herself as bait and set off to Waverly Village."
"But knowing that woman, she probably isn't there.
I have no clue where though."
Jepherson got out of his car as Rossie spoke. Hearing that, he went back into his car and ordered the chauffeur, "Waverly Village, now."
The chauffeur obliged, and off Jepherson went.
"Go inside. I'll go and find Raeleigh."
Jacky urged Deanna to go in before chasing after Jepherson. Zorion looked over at Rossie, who said, "Be careful."
Zorion then joined the search.
Rossie went to Deanna. "Next time, cry after you've made your point, lest people misunderstand."
Deanna looked at Rossie and pouted. "What did I say? Zorion was the one at fault; why blame me for his recklessness? Do you think it's right to blame it all on me?"
"Is there right and wrong between us?" Rossie said and headed inside, unbothered, while Deanna followed right behind.
Since Rossie came into their lives, Deanna had lost her status as the favorite of the family. As if she could do anything about it.
Jenna was in Santiago's room when Rossie knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
She wouldn't open the door for Hanse no matter what.
