Chapter 553
Renee grasped Hesper's arm tightly, but Hesper remained remarkably composed.
If Renfrew had come out on his own, he would have certainly gone to the company to search for her or
Rickard. However, since he was not found in either location, there was only one possibility.
Someone took him away. But who would target Renfrew in Genecity?
Hesper attempted to sift through her memories, but a multitude of people flashed through her mind.
Over the years, both she and Rickard had not exercised much restraint in their actions, making it
possible for numerous individuals to target Renfrew, especially during such a tumultuous period.
These thoughts led Hesper to blame herself. Why hadn't she detected Renfrew's abnormal behavior
earlier? Why hadn't she recognized the danger that surrounded her in Genecity? How could she have
allowed Renfrew to stay home alone?
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll go call Benji now." Renee comforted her and then went to contact Benji, asking
him to dispatch his men to look for Renfrew as soon as possible.
Renfrew's disappearance was no trivial matter. Even if Hesper were to go missing now, she would have
the ability to protect herself. However, Renfrew was different. Despite his talents, he still needed at
least a phone or computer to do his magic. The person who had kidnapped Renfrew would not have
given him those things, so he had no means to fight back at all.
Hesper became more and more anxious as she thought about it. Renee sighed with a furrowed brow
before sending a message to Nathaniel as well.
Hesper was no longer one of the Lanes, so Renee's resources were quite limited. However, the silver
lining was that Nathaniel was in Genecity too. He was sent there by Matthew so that he could step in NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
whenever she needed help.
Nathaniel rushed over immediately after receiving the call. Hesper was sitting blankly on the couch.
She had sent all her men to look for Renfrew. She wanted to go with them as well, but Renee stopped
her.
If Hesper went out now, there was a possibility that she might get taken away as well.
"Don't worry too much, Hesper." Nathaniel approached and took Hesper's hand. "I've already sent
people out to search for him, and I'm also trying my best to restore the footage from the afternoon... I
believe there will be results soon."
From the moment she received the news of Renfrew's disappearance, Hesper had been on the verge
of collapse. She blamed herself for not thinking about it earlier. Renfrew was her biggest weakness.
How could those people not lay a hand on him?
However, it was already too late. Nothing could be changed even if she regretted it.
"I'm sure the kidnapper wants something from you or Rickard since they took Renfrew away, so he'll be
safe before you receive the kidnapper's call," Nathaniel said, squeezing Hesper's hand as he tried to
comfort her. She felt a glimmer of hope from his words. Nathaniel was right. Whoever had taken
Renfrew, they must want something from them. They just needed to wait for the time being.
As Hesper was comforting herself, her phone suddenly rang. She tried to calm herself down and
answer it, but her fingers trembled as she pressed the button to answer.
"Hello?"
There was a noisy sound on the other end, followed by a familiar voice.
"Hi, Ms. Rivera." It was 013's irritating voice, laced with a smirk. "It's been a long time."
