Chapter 470 Disappearance
Elias looked at the disconnected call on his phone and remembered that he had dropped
off Rosie at the intersection of Volund Road this morning. Could she have disappeared
there?
Moreover, how could a living person just disappear? Could she have been kidnapped?
The man immediately turned around, and the butler followed behind him. “Mr. Winters,
aren’t you going to look for Mrs. Winters?”
“No. Prepare the car. We’re going to Volund Road.”
“Yes,”
Boris didn’t know who had called or what had happened, but since Elias had ordered him
to prepare the car, he could only comply.
At the same time, Amanda stood by the window in her room, watching the man get out of
the car and walk toward the villa, only to get back in the car and leave.
What does this mean? Is he not coming back tonight?
She instinctively turned and left the bedroom, chasing after him. Then, she arrived in front
of the man’s car and tapped on the window.
The man inside the car saw her and rolled down the window. “What’s the matter?”
“Where are you going? It’s almost midnight, and you’re still leaving to go somewhere?”
How was he going to recover his health with such a work schedule?
“Go to bed first. I have something to take care of.”
After saying that, the man was about to roll up the window, but Amanda persisted and
asked, “What exactly are you going to do?”
“Rosie has gone missing, and I’m going to look for her
As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled up the window, and the driver slowly drove
away.
Amanda was left standing there, confused.
Missing? How could she go missing? She remembered seeing Rosie inside the cafe when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe was lured there by that unknown phone call today. How could she suddenly disappear
for no reason?
Amanda picked up her phone and dialed Rosie’s number. As expected, it was unreachable
and turned off.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling and a hunch that the unknown phone call and
Rosie’s disappearance might be connected.
After all, she didn’t believe in coincidences.
Amanda dialed the number of the unknown man who had called her earlier that day but
found it was also turned off.
At the intersection of Volund Road, Elias’ car slowly stopped by the roadside. He exited the
car and looked around to see four surveillance cameras in the area. These cameras should
be able to track Rosie’s whereabouts
“Check the surveillance footage.”
“Yes”
His bodyguard turned and left.
While standing at the intersection, Elias regretted not sending Rosie back to her doorstep
this morning. If he had done so, this wouldn’t have happened.
The distance between the Momseys’ villa and this place was only 400 meters, but even if
something had happened, such a distance was…
After a while, the bodyguard returned and played the surveillance video he had just
captured on his phone.
“Mr. Winters, this is Miss Momsey, captured on the surveillance footage. Her whereabouts
are unknown after she walked to the end of this road, though. The alleyway she turned
into is a blind spot for the cameras, so nothing was recorded.”
So, something must have happened in that alleyway.
Elias looked at the bodyguard and instructed, “Go and see if any cars have been parked
for a long time on that road. Then, check their dashcam footage.”
“Yes,”
The bodyguard was about to leave when Elias’ phone started vibrating again. He picked it
up and saw that it was a call from Taylor.
After answering the call, he heard Taylor’s panicked voice come through. “Elias! Could my
sister have been kidnapped? I can’t find her anywhere, and I can’t think of any other
reason for her to have disappeared.”
At that moment, another call came in, and it was from Rosie!
A look of surprise flashed in Elias’ dark eyes as he said, “Rosie is calling. I’ll answer the call
and tell you later.
He hung up on Taylor and answered Rosie’s call, but he heard a rough male voice instead
of a woman’s voice. “Your girl is in my hands. Bring 1.5 million in cash for the ransom if
you want to save her. Otherwise, I’ll end her. I’ll inform you of the specific location later.
Prepare the cash and wait for my call”
With that, the man hung up without giving Elias a chance to speak.
Elias looked at the phone and immediately told the bodyguard, “Track the location of this
number.”
Soon, the bodyguard found the location. “Mr. Winters, the location of this number is on
another street not far from us. It’s a crowded street, which makes it difficult for us to catch
the person…”
The street next to them had one of the bustest night markets in the city, so the culprit
might have chosen it to confuse him and stall for time.

“There’s no need to catch them. Wait for the next call.”
Then, the phone rang again, and Elias looked at it. It was Taylor calling. A trace of
disappointment appeared in Elias’ eyes as he answered it
“How is it? Did Rosie call you?”
“It was from Rosie’s phone, but it was from the kidnapper. She has indeed been
kidnapped.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTaylor, on the other end of the line, exploded in anger. “What? She’s been kidnapped?
How much do they want? Where will the exchange take place?”
They want 15 million in cash but have yet to mention the location. Let’s wait for their call.”
“I’ll prepare the cash!”
After Taylor hung up. Elias could only go home and wait for the call.

Winters Estate.
After returning home, Elias didn’t go to his room but sat on the couch in the living room,
lost in thought and silently waiting for the kidnapper’s call.
Then, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs and looked up to see Amanda walking
down from upstairs.
She asked, “What’s the situation? Have you found Rosie?”
“Not yet. Why do you care when you don’t like her?”
“I may not like her, but do my feelings for her matter in life-or-death situations? Even if I
dislike her. I wouldn’t want her to go missing.”
Elias sneered. “She’s been kidnapped, probably by my enemies.”
Since the man used the words, “Your woman is in my hands,” when he called, Elias
thought this matter might be directed at him.
“Kidnapped?” Amanda looked shocked and immediately remembered seeing Rosie at the
cafe earlier that day. She was fine then, so how could she suddenly be kidnapped?
Her shock piqued Elias’ interest, and he asked, “Why are you so surprised?”
“When was she kidnapped? I saw her at a cafe this afternoon. How could she suddenly be
kidnapped?”
“What? When did you see her?” Elias sat up straight, suddenly becoming alert.
Amanda carefully recalled the time the unknown man had called her and then calculated
the time she had driven to the cafe.
“It was around 2:
30 p.m. I went to a cafe to meet someone and saw her there too. How could she be
kidnapped?”

Elias frowned.
