Chapter 388 Caught the Wrong Person Not long after the message was sent, a reply cquickly from the other side.
"Proceed as planned." After reading the message, they took Max away quietly, without a sound.
By the tDamon cout of the kitchen and into the yard, Max was already gone.
He searched everywhere for Max but couldn't find him, and a bad feeling started to grow in his heart.
"Max, are you still here? Max..." Damon called out a few times, but there was no response from Max.
The commotion also alerted Ronald, who was resting in his room.
Ronald cout, leaning on his cane, and saw Damon looking anxious.
"What's going on?" Ronald asked.
"Mr. Cooper, it's bad. Max seems to be missing..." Damon said, looking both troubled and guilty.
Ronald frowned, gripping his cane tighter.
"Have you looked everywhere?" "Yes, but we still can't find Max. Could he have gone to find Isadora?" Damon asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Regardless, contact Leon first, then send someone to reach Isadora. Get the nearby surveillance footage. We must find Max," Ronald instructed.
They had left Max at the Cooper Mansion, so they had to ensure his safety.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamon nodded and quickly went inside to call Leon, explaining the situation clearly.
Leon returned from the office after his meeting, and shortly after, Tiffany also arrived at the Cooper Mansion. The two walked into the living room to find Ronald frowning deeply.
"Grandpa, we still haven't found Max. Is there any other news?" Tiffany asked as she walked over and sat next to Ronald.
Ronald shook his head. "We've contacted Isadora, but Max isn't with her. We've reviewed the surveillance footage, but there's no sign of Max." The more Tiffany listened, the more she felt something was wrong. It seemed like someone had been waiting outside, choosing a moment when no one was around to take Max away.
But why would they take Max? Could it be sof Tyrell's enemies? Leon initially thought the same, but upon reflection, Tyrell had been in prison for a long time. If someone wanted revenge, they would have found out about Isadora and Max long ago and acted sooner, not now.
"Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Cooper, we've reviewed all the surveillance footage again, but there's still no sign of Max," Damon said, sweating as he cout of the study, holding a laptop.
Tiffany stood up, took the laptop, and reviewed the footage again.
She scrutinized the footage, convinced there must be a clue.
As she slowed down the footage, she finally saw two figures, one small and one large, sneaking around outside. Tiffany zoomed in on the footage. Although their faces were unclear, it was enough. "It's them," Tiffany said, pointing at the screen. The others looked over, puzzled.
They had never seen these two people before; they were completely strangers.
"I've investigated Tyrell's connections, and these two aren't among them. They have no known association with him. So why take Max?" Tiffany wondered aloud.
Just then, Leon's phone rang, drawing their attention.
Leon opened his phone and saw a photo in a text message.
Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñel5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! The pers in the photo was Max, bound hand and foot, with his mouth covered.
He was crying, looking terrified.
Another message followed.
"If you want to save him, hand over your proposal!" Seeing this, Tiffany and Leon exchanged a glance, immediately understanding.
The person who took Max was targeting Leon's company.
But this made it even stranger.
Max had no connection to Leon, and Leon had clarified this online. Even if someone wanted to target Leon, they wouldn't take Max.
The proposal they mentioned was related to a bidding competition in which Leon's company was involved.
Leon was determined to acquire a piece of land in the suburbs and had put a lot of effort into the proposal and plans.
The proposal included Leon's bid for the land.
The person wanted the proposal to see Leon's bid.
The only competitor Leon had for the land was Ralph.
Upon seeing the message, Tiffany and Leon immediately suspected Ralph's involvement.
Why would Ralph take Max? Hadn't he seen the online news? Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Taking Max as leverage against Leon seemed absurd.
Moreover, Tiffany felt Ralph wouldn't make such a foolish mistake.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was only one possibility.
The two people Ralph sent didn't know Max's identity.
Perhaps Ralph had instructed them to take Leon's child.
They happened to see Max and assumed he was Leon's child.
This was an unfortunate disaster for Max.
Tiffany took Leon's phone and looked at the photo again.
She had found the background familiar earlier, and now she was sure.
"I know this place. It's near my company, an abandoned building. No one goes there; it's practically deserted," Tiffany said.
Leon prepared to go, determined to rescue Max safely.
As they were about to leave, Isadora burst in, furious, and lunged at Tiffany, ready to slap her.
Fortunately, Leon was beside Tiffany and caught Isadora's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Leon demanded coldly.
"If it weren't for you, Max wouldn't have been taken! Where is he?" m Isadora shouted, her eyes red with anger.
Now, she was concerned about Max, but she hadn't cared about his m feelings when she had said those harsh words to him before.
Tiffany stepped out from behind Leon, her eyes cold, "We're old, "We're about to rescue Max if you keep causing trouble, you'll only delay us!" Tiffany's tone was serious, and Isadora, stunned, fell silent.
