Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, Jeffrey was really worried that Langston was not taken away by his family, but by other people with ulterior motives.
Wait...
People with ulterior motives.
Jeffrey suddenly thought of a possibility: Heather! Who would least like to see Everett having a child? Who would least like to see Everett meet that child? Who was most active in contacting him before the incident? It was her! Jeffrey immediately called her, but Heather didn't pick up. She hung up right away.

"Jeffrey, I'm waiting for a call! Can you wait?" "Isn't that how you always call me?" Jeffrey had no patience this time; he got straight to the point, "Heather, I'm asking you, did you take the child away?" Heather laughed after hearing this.
"What are you talking about? I've been with you all this time. How could | take the child away?" "You must have arranged for someone else to do that! You lured me out of the hotel, and then took the opportunity to take the child away." "Jeffrey, if you're delusional, go to the hospital! Your story is well made up, but does it make sense? You never told me which hotel you were staying in! How could | know in advance?" Jeffrey sneered, "Do you really take me for a fool? The Lopez Corporation's software has a location display, and it's not difficult to track a phone's location now! You can easily find out if you want to!" "So you mean no matter how much | deny it, you're determined to pin this on me? How are you any different from Everett back then? He didn't listen to my explanation about not framing Dorothy, and now neither are you! Both you and Everett are my friends! How could you not trust me?" Heather didn't expect Jeffrey to point the finger at her so quickly.
Mostly, she was surprised that Jeffrey cared so much about the child.
As far as she could remember, Jeffrey hated kids. He even avoided being near kids at all.
"Yes, because you're my friend, I've helped you hide so many things! You've used me so many times that you've probably lost count, right? But this time, can you do me a favor? Give me the child and don't harm him! Don't do something you'll regret!" Regret? The thing Heather most regretted now was not killing Dorothy at any cost earlier! "I don't know where the child is, so how can | give him to you?" "You're beyond help! I'm going to find Everett right now, and let him investigate you!" As soon as Jeffrey said this, Heather panicked. "Why are you looking for him? He doesn't trust me in the first place. If you say this, he'll definitely investigate me!" "If you've done nothing wrong, why are you afraid of being investigated? Heather, I've given you a chance. Give me the child, and | won't tell Everett anything. I'll just say | found the child." Heather seemed to hesitate, but in the end, she still said, "I didn’t take the child." "Alright, then let's investigate.” "Jeffrey! Are you determined to ruin my relationship with Everett? You're not trying to destroy me because you can't have me, are you?"
