Chapter 389 Two Missing Children
“That child is Benjamin’s,” Xavier said into the phone. “My men today were detained by Benjamin himself.”
To Xavier, Benjamin detaining those bodyguards was already an act of defiance.
And now, Benjamin’s child somehow knew the hidden truth about Violet’s whereabouts.
He needed to get his hands on this child.
Only then could he keep Benjamin in check.
Benjamin’s influence abroad wasn’t as strong as his own.
Finished
Benjamin’s maternal family was powerful, but Xavier knew their ties to Benjamin had long since faded.
After Xavier gave the order, Julie agreed without hesitation.
Even though Julie was Elizabeth’s cousin, many of her resources came from Xavier.
Her bond with Elizabeth wasn’t that strong.
Her family’s wealth was nowhere near Elizabeth’s.
Julie was counting on Xavier to change her fortunes.
She dreamed of having the same status and wealth as Elizabeth.
After the call, Julie went to find Nina.
Children weren’t that hard to find when hiding.
She spotted both Nina and Nelson.
But she pretended not to see them.
Soon, she announced her defeat, letting Nina win.
Now that she’d won, Nina wanted Violet.
Julie played her part, acting like she would honor the promise. She said she would take Nina to Violet.
She led the small group of children off to fulfill her promise to Nina.

But half an hour later, two of the children were missing.
The bodyguards, failing to count Nina and Nelson, didn’t hesitate to ask.
Tina answered loudly, “She go find Violet. It’s a surprise! Eyes closed. She go with Aunt Julie.”
Tina explained that Julie had taken Nina, and Nelson, who never left her side, had gone, too.
Hearing it was Julie, the bodyguards felt a slight relief.
After all, Julie was family.
But when they tried to locate Julie, they made a chilling discovery: Julie was gone.
The bodyguards didn’t waste time. They reported the situation immediately and mobilized more people to search for Julie and the two missing children.
After searching for a while, the security room found that Julie had driven off in Elizabeth’s car quite some time ago, right out the front gate.
Elizabeth had lent her car to Julie before.
So, this time, Julie had simply taken it.
The fact that Julie had taken the two children left Elizabeth utterly baffled.
“Why would she do this?” Elizabeth frowned. “I can’t think of a single reason for her to do this.”
Elizabeth couldn’t think of one, but Tina mentioned the word “Violet” again.
She said Nina kept asking for Violet.
Hearing that, Benjamin and Amelia immediately understood that this was still about Nelson’s mother.
Benjamin truly hadn’t planned to get too involved in other people’s family affairs.
Especially with Trevor here, he intended to stay out of it.
But now, even though he’d tried to avoid it, the situation had pulled him in.
Instantly, his expression turned ice-cold.
The cheerful party ended abruptly with the children’s disappearance.
Elizabeth felt terribly sorry.

Finished
After Benjamin and Amelia left to search, she didn’t sit still for a moment. She headed straight for the Rode family-Benjamin’s maternal family.
Benjamin’s grandfather had only two daughters.
The eldest was Catherine Rode, Benjamin’s aunt.
Catherine had always been eccentric. Aside from her family, especially her younger sister, she’d never shown much affection for anyone.
She never married or had children.
