Sensing something amiss, Harvey asked in a concerned tone, “You're going back to Chanaea? What happened?"
As both of them were closer than brothers, there was no reason for Vinson to hide the matter from Harvey. As such, he revealed Susanne's disappearance to the latter.
Harvey's expression darkened upon hearing the news. Vinson's enemies must have taken the opportunity of his absence in the country to make their moves.
“I'll hold the fort here. You should watch yourself,” Harvey responded with a frown.
He, too, was concerned about Susanne's safety and had no idea who would kidnap her.
Once the call ended, Vinson left for the airport with Arielle who was wearing a disguise. Fortunately, they had gotten Dylan to issue them a visa beforehand, so they had no problems flying out of the country.
Due to the great distance between Turlen and Chanaea, their flight had to make a transit in Lightspring before returning to Chanaea.
By the time they arrived, it was already midnight.
Both of them had removed their disguises along the journey home.
Upon reaching Nightshire Manor, Geoffrey and Rayson were already waiting in the living room. Both of them looked emotional and were filled with guilt over failing to protect Susanne.
“Mr. Vinson, I'm so sorry." Geoffrey looked at Vinson with reddened eyes. Mr. Vinson left Mrs. Nightshire in my care and I ended up losing her.
Rayson, too, gave Vinson an
apologetic look. “Mr. Nightshire, I—"
Vinson waved his hand to stop him. “What's the situation now? Have all checkpoints been searched?"
Rayson nodded. “We have beefed up our presence everywhere and will be notified the moment something suspicious pops up."
