Chapter 237 You Reap What You Sow

Chapter 237 You Reap What You Sow

When Derrick said this, Mia suddenly remembered the Greco family's security guard who had teamed up with Eleanor to frame her.

He was once Eleanor's boyfriend.

Thinking about the things Eleanor did to her, she felt that Eleanor deserved it.

So... that number, was it used by Eleanor to contact her ex-boyfriend?

She had bribed the man, and she didn't want the man to rat out what she had done, so it was only natural that she would contact him occasionally.

Dylan saw Mia's expression and couldn't help but ask, "Did you think of something?"

Upon hearing this, Mia froze for a moment before looking up at Dylan and said, "I... I thought of something."

"Is it related to Eleanor's disappearance?" Dylan was so clever that he instantly understood Mia's meaning.

Mia's expression was grave, and she couldn't help but nod lightly as she said, "Yes." However, she couldn't say it now.

Derrick and Lily were Eleanor's biological parents, and they didn't believe all that stuff back then, or at least they thought there was a misunderstanding, so what was the point of saying it now?

Mia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said to Lily, "I just guessed, and I'm not sure about anything, so let Gavin investigate first and wait until they find out."

Upon hearing this, Lily immediately burst into tears and said, "Mia, don't be like this. Just say it now, so we can find Eleanor. I know she has screwed you over. I'll make her apologize to you properly later, so she will never dare to do anything against you again. Please help her now. Mia, I beg you. Without you, Eleanor will be doomed."

With the current situation of the Jones family, if Mia said no, it would not be that easy to gather people to find Eleanor. If the criminals made any other demands later, the Jones family would have no way to solve them, so they all looked at Mia with hopeful expressions.

Mia froze for a moment, and after a long while, she couldn't help but nod her head and said, "Then... okay."

All eyes were on Mia, and even Danny looked at Mia curiously.

Mia said to Danny, "Go play for a while. We have something important to say, and it is not convenient for children to be present, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Danny then nodded and said to Mia, "Mommy, then I'll go first."

Danny got out of bed and went outside to play in the living room before Mia said to several people, "If I guessed correctly... it could be related to Eleanor's ex-boyfriend. It's very possible that he's involved."

They looked at Mia curiously as Mia told them what she suspected, and then she said, "I'm not very sure, but since Eleanor kept the number, it should be for fear that the man would pursue the matter afterward. Since the number remained, then if my guess is correct, Eleanor should have left it to contact him. In that case, only he would be able to know that Eleanor had another number, but..."

After a slight pause, under the eyes of several people, Mia said, "But I think that how can that man do that all alone without leaving any traces behind? If it's just him alone, he wouldn't dare to take Eleanor away directly in broad daylight, and the Greco family's guards wouldn't be unable to find her after almost half an hour." Mia's words struck a chord.

There were few people in the entire Aramoor City who could manage to remain hidden from the Greco Family's guards, let alone a mere security guard.

Dylan was silent for a moment before he looked at Mia and asked, "Is... that security guard the one who had been fired from the Greco family?"

Mia hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but nod as she said, "Yes, it's him."

Upon hearing this, Dylan nodded and said, "Okay, Gavin should still have his information there. It seems that if we find him, it should be much more convenient and faster."

Mia nodded and said, "Alright, then tell Gavin about it."

Dylan nodded his head and took his phone out to call and instruct Gavin.

Lily and Derrick's expressions weren't very pleasant. Lily's expression was even more dismal, and she looked as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment. Her complexion also became very pale, and she said with a sullen expression, "How could Eleanor know such a person?"

"In the past, when Mia said she bribed people to hurt Mia, I didn't really believe it and thought there was some kind of misunderstanding, but now it seems... everything was her fault!" Derrick's voice was very cold.

He had always been a person who put the interests of the Jones family first, and the difference between Mia and Eleanor was only because one was biological and one wasn't. Now, when he saw that Eleanor was such an ahole and caused such a mess and that Mia had married Dylan, he became even angrier.

Lily was soft-hearted, so she looked at Derrick with some uneasiness as she said, "What are you talking about now? If you want to discipline her, you should wait for her to come home, and then you can discipline her. Don't you think so?"

Before Derrick could say anything, Mia frowned and said, "Mom, you can't say that. It's not that the Jones family didn't raise her well. The two Elders of the William family are very kind and have raised big brother Eric very well, so as for Eleanor... she grew wayward on her own."

Upon hearing this, Lily looked at Mia in surprise but comforted herself in her heart that in the end, the child she raised was kind and helped speak out even though they weren't her biological parents. Of course, she also realized that she had gaffed, so she nodded and let out a somewhat awkward chuckle as she said, "It's my bad. I was too anxious and said the wrong thing."

Mia knew that she was really anxious, so she didn't say anything more.

After a few minutes, Dylan came in and said, "Melvin has that security guard's information. If it's true that he took Eleanor, I think she shouldn't be hard to find."

Upon hearing this, they nodded and then waited anxiously for a long time. Ten minutes later, Gavin came in and said that Eleanor left the hospital after receiving a phone call at the entrance and took a cab to a remote suburb after leaving.

As for what happened afterward, it couldn't be traced, and there was no message or cell phone signal now, so it was hard to find.

Dylan let him continue to look for information on that security guard, and Gavin had just gone out when Lily's phone received another message. Derrick also received it immediately, but when the couple glanced at the message, their faces fell at that time and their expressions were very unpleasant.

Mia couldn't help but ask, "What does the message say?"

Upon hearing this, Lily handed the phone to Mia and said, "Mia, take a look."

Derrick also handed his phone to Dylan, and when the two glanced at the message, their expressions became sullen as well.

It was again accompanied by a picture. This time, Eleanor's condition and appearance were obviously much worse than just before, and she was injured even worse. The text accompanying the picture read, Within one hour, prepare 20 million cash, or else...
