Chapter 1937
James hastily made his way to the Callahans' villa.
As soon as he entered the villa, he asked anxiously, "Winnie? Where's Winnie?”
He was aware that Winnie had been taken, but his mind was clouded by his worry for her.
The entire Callahan family remained silent.
James plopped himself down on the sofa. He pulled out his phone again and called Maxine.
Meanwhile, in Cansington, Maxine was standing on the top of a building. From here, she could see the Callahans' villa. Behind her stood a few men.
"Chancellor, they've been escorted out of Cansington,” said the person behind her.
“Alright.” Maxine nodded softly and said, "Pass down the order to take good care of the child. Don’t let the child suffer any harm.”
"Yes."
Right then, her phone started to ring. Remaining calm and collected, she answered it.
Over the phone, James’ roar could be heard, "Maxine, what exactly are you trying to do?"
His voice was so loud that Maxine’s eardrums went numb. She held the phone away slightly. Maxine did not start speaking until James stopped. With a soft voice, she said, "I told you, didn't I? Bring Thea'’s head to me, and the child will live. Otherwise, the child will die.”
‘Thea is missing.” James inhaled deeply and said, "I haven't seen Thea in six months.”
James chose to lie. He wanted to first appease Maxine and ensure his child's safety.
After hearing his words, Maxine furrowed her brow. During this period of time, she was watching James closely. She knew James was in closed- door meditation at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains, but there was no sign of Thea.
"What happened?” she asked, her brows knitted. "Why is Thea missing?"
"How would I know?” James took a deep breath and said, "Maxine, where are you? I'll come to you. Don't hurt the child. She's innocent. You can make any request, and I'll accept.”
