Chapter 990 Kieran is Kidnapped
Dinners like these usually involved drinking as they talked about business. However, the CEO of Bing Corp. had a high alcohol tolerance. Therefore, by the end of the dinner, Kieran was already wasted.
The next day, Tobias was making tea in the garden with Stefania in the garden of the Sawyer Residence, enjoying his semi-retired life, when he received an unexpected call from the company.
Stefania had no idea what was said on the phone, which made him frown slightly. ”I understand. I’ll be there in a minute.” After he said that, he hung up the phone and pushed himself off the chair. ”Stef, I need to drop by the company for a moment.”
”Did something happen to the company?” She looked at her husband worriedly. After all, Tobias was already semi-retired. So he wouldn’t have to go to the company if it wasn’t a big deal.
In the face of her concern, he shook his head and said, ”It’s not that. They just couldn’t reach Kieran, so they needed me to host the meeting.”
”Kieran is missing?”
This piece of news shocked her, and the worried look on her face deepened.
Tobias knew she had misunderstood and explained, ”He’s not missing. I think he just fell asleep in a hotel somewhere. He had dinner with the CEO of Bing Corp. I think he must have drunk too much.”
Stefanie was immediately relieved to hear this and sent Tobias away to the company.
Yet, Kieran still hadn’t shown up at the office even after a whole day had passed.
No one was able to contact him.
This had never happened before.
Inexplicably a terrible suspicion started to form in Tobias’ mind.
”Check on where Kieran went after he left the lounge last night,” he ordered his secretary.
His secretary nodded and immediately rushed to do as he was told.
It didn’t take long before he returned with a panicked look. ”Mr. Sawyer, bad news. Vice President Sawyer has been kidnapped.”
Tobias immediately shoved his chair back and stood up in shock.
”What happened?!”
He stared at the secretary coldly.
The secretary didn’t hesitate to reveal everything he had discovered. ”I went to the lounge to investigate as you’ve asked, and the people from the lounge said that Vice President Sawyer was picked up by someone his assistant sent. Then, when I checked with his assistant, he said he did not send anyone to pick up Vice President Sawyer.”
After Tobias listened to his secretary’s account, he was overwhelmed with several emotions; shock, anger, and worry.
”Quickly! Get everyone that’s free to search for Kieran!”
”Yes, Mr. Sawyer!”
The secretary nodded and swiftly left the office to carry out Tobias’ order.
Tobias watched him leave and quickly took out his phone to call the police.
Since it was the disappearance of the second son of the Sawyer Family, the police did not dare to neglect such a matter and instantly started the investigation.
No one knew what happened, and this news quickly spread throughout Southend.
It became the topic of discussion for many people.
”How could anyone dare to kidnap the second son of the Sawyer Family? Have they lost their mind?!”
”Is it for the money, or is it something else?”
”With Master Kieran kidnapped and President Sawyer out of the country, wouldn’t the Sawyer Group be in chaos?”
Stefania, who had been at home, only learned about Kieran’s abduction after receiving a call from her sister, and her heart immediately began to pound in fear.
Once she hung up the phone, she immediately called her husband. ”Tobias, is it true that Kieran has been kidnapped? What the hell is going on?”
”I’ll tell you more about this when I return.”
Tobias hung up the phone after he said that.
He had too many things to deal with on his end right now.
Nevertheless, Stefania was still unsettled as she held onto her phone in fright. Then, she decided to call Nicholas to inform him about Kieran’s disappearance.
”Nicholas, your brother has been kidnapped!”
On the other end of the phone, Nicholas’ face immediately sank when he heard this. ”What happened?”
”I don’t know the details. Your dad isn’t telling me anything.”
She was a little aggrieved when she complained.
After Nicholas calmed his mother down, he hung up the phone to call his father.
As soon as the call connected, Nicholas did not beat around the bush and asked, ”Mom said Kieran was kidnapped.”
”Last night, after dinner with Mr. Berrali, he didn’t show up to work the next day, and I couldn’t get in touch with him. I felt something was wrong, so I sent someone to check, only to find out that someone had taken him away.”
Tobias did not bother hiding anything from Nicholas, who had been brilliant and capable since young. He knew that his son would find out even if he tried hiding anything, so honesty was the best policy here.
