As soon as he hung up, his phone rang with another call.
It was from Granny Lynch.
Joshua knew perfectly who it was that was calling him. He let out a sigh and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Lynch," Nigel's cold voice rang out from the other end of the line. "I heard you went to Sea City. Have you found my Mommy?"
Joshua’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He had confiscated all of Nigel and Nellie's devices last night and asked Granny Lynch to take them to the family villa at a rural village to lay low for the time being.
The village did not have strong network coverage, so the residents could not frequently communicate with the outside world.
Despite this, Nigel still found out that Joshua had gone to Sea City in search of Luna and even managed t o find a way to contact him.
Seeing that Joshua did not answer, Nigel pursed his lips slightly and said, "Mr. Lynch, I know the signal isn’t good here, but I've added a signal booster and got on the neighbors' good sides so I can connect to their phone networks... Don't try to pretend as though the
connection isn't stable so you can avoid my question. How's my Mommy doing?"
Joshua knew he was caught, so he let out a sigh and answered, "She’s...fine.’’
"Don't make things difficult for her." Nigel let out an exhale and continued earnestly, "I was the one who devised the breakout. I was the one who kidnapped Janice and contacted both Aunt Gwen and Uncle Luke.
"Please don’t punish Mommy for this. If you want someone to take the blame for this, then I'm the one you should punish."
