Chapter 480 - Coming Prepared
Chapter 480 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" opens revealing the plot: Until it was confirmed that Maya Spencer was not in the restroom, Liam Spencerās every... Discover what happens!
Until it was confirmed that Maya Spencer was not in the restroom, Liam Spencerās every cell began to tense up. He immediately called Elijah Reed, instructing him to prepare the team and be ready for orders at any time.In Ethan Turnerās apartment, Elijah Reed was originally keeping Ella Turner company. Upon receiving Liamās command, he promptly stood up from the couch and entered standby mode.
Ella Turner watched Elijah Reed suddenly switch to work mode, puzzled, she asked: "Elijah, whatās happening? You seem quite tense."
"Itās nothing, you should rest. Iāll come see you tomorrow."
Elijah Reed said and then left, even though he had already guessed it involved Maya Spencer, he did not disclose anything to Ella Turner, fearing sheād fret alone in the apartment without anything to do.
Back in the banquet hall, after returning to the private room from the restroom, Lucas Shaw had already gone to view surveillance footage. Hudson Moore and Asher Norton were waiting for him.
Hudson Moore asked, "Third Bro, did Third Sis perhaps return ahead of time on her own?"
"Maya didnāt return to the villa, and the phone canāt get through." Liam Spencerās current state was like losing half of his soul.
For a moment, he truly couldnāt think of where Maya would have gone.
Even though Maya had been a bit down these past few days, she wouldnāt just suddenly disappear without a reason. Liam sensed Maya encountered trouble, and not minor trouble.
That woman said once before, only by staying by his side did she feel safe, did she fear nothing, so she simply wouldnāt leave him voluntarily.
"Then might Third Sis have gone home?"
"No!" Liamās voice was already somewhat irritable, appearing to have lost his patience.
This feeling had occurred to him once 3 years ago. That day too, he was flustered, panicked beyond belief, combined with anger.
Yet this time, there was no anger, only worry and fear, he dared not imagine, if Maya left him again, would he be able to withstand such a blow?
"Iāll go check the apartment first, you guys search the hotel, call me if thereās any clue."
"Okay." Hudson Moore and Asher Norton replied in unison.
As Liam was about to leave, Lucas Shaw suddenly appeared at the private room door, he grabbed Liamās arm and said: "You donāt need to go to the apartment, Maya was kidnapped right at the restroom door by a man wearing a black hat and mask, I just saw it on the surveillance."
Listening to Lucas Shawās report, Liam was instantly dumbstruck; sure enough, Maya had encountered trouble.
Lucas Shaw watched Liamās face change drastically; cautiously handed the phone to Liam to explain: "Just now, the monitor roomās switch tripped suddenly, so the security didnāt see Maya being kidnapped live; the kidnappers knew what they were doing."
Liam accepted Lucasās phone, took a deep breath, staring at the video on the phone, and pressed the play button.
He saw Maya right at the restroom entrance, her mouth covered by a man in black, dragged to the cleaning room in the back. Moments later, the kidnapper donned a cleanerās uniform, pushed a large trash bin and exited through the side door.
No doubt, Maya was certainly stuffed in the trash bin and pushed out.
Watching this video, Liam nearly exploded with fury, forcefully squeezing Lucasās phone into a warped shape.
Seeing this, Lucas Shaw was scared weak-legged, after all, it happened during his companyās annual celebration; he was, more or less, responsible.
Asher Norton seeing Liamās pale, furious face, cautiously consoled: "Liam, try not to worry too much, perhaps all the kidnapper wants is money, they wonāt harm Maya."
"Third Bro, Third Sis is under divine protection, nothing will happen." Hudson Moore echoed the comfort.
However, their consolation only made Liam more and more anxious, more and more fearful; regardless of what the kidnapper wanted, even be it his life, heād gladly give itājust to quickly get Maya back, just to see her right away.
"The kidnapper should call soon, letās wait for the call!" Asher Norton said.
"Iāve already sent people to trace the kidnappers, checking if surveillance from the roads can lead us to their whereabouts."
"Iāve connected with Elijah Reed, asking him to start action." Hudson Moore said.
They knew Liam was now completely bewildered, unable to remain calm, so they arranged everything for him.
Yet, Liam said nothing, merely turned around, unhurriedly heading towards the banquet hallās main entrance.
If heād predicted tonightās situation earlier, he wouldnāt have gone anywhere, only stayed home with Maya.
These last two days, Mayaās mood had been very low, yet he still took Maya to attend the banquet.
Clearly saw the hint of helplessness in Mayaās eyes, yet he paid insufficient heed to her feelings.
At this moment, except for self-blame, there was nothing but self-blame for Liam, his regret was beyond words.
Driving to work, he was so drained he couldnāt grip the wheel, his mind filled only with the picture of Maya being kidnapped.
Now, Liamās heart was racing to the point of bursting; he couldnāt bear imagining what kind of abuse Maya was enduring nowārape, beatings or otherwise? The mere thought made his scalp numb, wishing to tear her abductors to pieces.
At this instant, his heart ached to the point of breathlessness, the scenario of Maya spiraling into depression began to reel in his mind again.
Heād rather trade his life for Mayaās calm and safety, only hope the kidnapper wonāt hurt her and wish Maya behaves, doesnāt provoke them, and complies with their demands, never impulsively doing foolish things that could lead to greater harm.
Thinking about it, Liamās palms throbbed painfully, incapable of even steering the car; luckily there were few cars on the road, otherwise, heād have collided earlier on.
When Liam reached the office, he was already dispirited, weakly sitting on the chair, his thoughts consumed by Maya.
He couldnāt fathom who in S City would have the guts to mess with Maya, to touch his woman?
Yet reality was, someone indeed did.
The chairmanās office of Owen Clan Group was silent and tranquil, but outside the office, chaos had erupted; the whole city had initiated a thorough search.
Half an hour later, Hudson Moore and Xavier Graham came into Liamās office, both sat on the couch, staring directly at Liam, motionless.
Lucas Shaw and Asher Norton were busy directing operations, while Christopher Scott was still mired in the pain of losing Seven Murray, entirely unaware of anything happening.
In the office, the three men sat in silence.
At 2 AM, Liamās WeChat received a message, actually sent by Maya. Upon hearing the notification on his phone, Xavier Graham and Hudson Moore immediately rose from the couch, walked to Liamās desk, stood by his sides, and watched his phone closely.
Liam looked at the flashing message instantly tapping to open it.
What he received was a video: a clip of Maya bound to a chair, filmed by the kidnapper.
