Tammy was missing!
She disappeared after leaving the house at eleven that morning.
Jun was checking the surveillance cameras over at the traffic control department.
The cameras showed Tammy entering a mall in the city center. After she parked her car, she never exited the mall.
This meant that something happened when she was inside the mall.
The mall had countless surveillance cameras, and there were also a lot of blind spots.
Jun left the traffic control department and rushed to the mall’s control room.
When he got Averie’s phone call, he took a deep breath, then answered it.
“Tammy’s car is still in the mall’s parking lot. She went missing while she was in the mall.”
“How could she just vanish like that?!” Averie took in a sharp breath.
She wanted to ask if Tammy could have been kidnapped, but she was too afraid to say it.
Jun felt a lump in his throat.
“She must have been kidnapped! Back when I was hiring bodyguards, I wanted to hire a personal bodyguard for her. She said she doesn’t work and sometimes spends all day at home, so she didn’t need a bodyguard. I shouldn’t have listened to her!”
Tammy was the heiress to Lynch Department Store. She did not take over her father’s business, but his estate would definitely be left to her.
With her net worth, it was not a problem at all to get a bodyguard.
People always thought they were the exception when they were not in danger.
“Don’t be upset, Jun. Since something happened to Tammy while she was in the mall, let’s take a look at the mall’s surveillance cameras!” Averie s dup her and prepared to leave the house. “I’ll come over and check with you.”
Jun was hurting, but he still had his reason. “You don’t have to come, Averie. I can check the cameras myself. I’ll let you know right away if I find anything.” At that moment, Mike walked over and took the bag out of Averie’s hand.
“Stay at home and wait! Wouldn’t it be even worse if something happened to you, too?”
Averie was frozen in place.
“It’s my fault… If I didn’t text Tammy, then she wouldn’t have decided to come see me at the last minute…” she mumbled softly. Then, her voice suddenly rose as she said, “Tammy’s pregnant. She’s pregnant!”
On the other end of the line, Jun exploded in shock as if he had taken a huge blow.
Tammy was pregnant?
“Jun! Hurry up and find Tammy! You have to find her!” Averie was yelling uncontrollably.” She told me she’s pregnant! Find her right now!”
“I got it! I got it!” Jun let out a raging roar, then hung up the phone.
Averie stood at the doorway as her chest rose and fell rapidly.
Mike saw her flushed face and distressed breathing, and immediately went up to hold her.
“Keep it together, Averie! We’ll find Tammy. Sit on the couch and catch your breath first!”
“It must’ve been Chelsea Tierney… I must’ve been her!” Averie clenched her fists tightly. She could not calm down at all. “I want to go find Chelsea Tierney!”
Chelsea lost her bargaining chip against Averie when Nora was disfigured. With Chelsea’s tough character, she definitely would not let this go easily.
Averie had stayed home recently and never left the house, so Chelsea had no way of getting to her.
She must have switched her target to Tammy!
That must be it!
When Mike saw that Averie was about to rush out, he quickly picked her up and carried her over to the couch.
“Averie Tate! Calm yourself down! It’s night out. Are you thinking of going over to Chelsea Tierney’s house now? Do you think she would confess? It’d be a waste of time!” Mike sat Averie down on the couch, then loomed over her and said, “If you can’t calm down, then call Elyette Foster! Let him step up!”
“What can he do?! He’s abroad right now!” Averie’s emotions were in a frenzy and she shoved Mike aside.
Chelsea was vicious and savage. Anyone who fell into her hands would not end up well,
“… I’ll get Chad to get Ben to go find Chelsea Tierney!” There was no way Mike was letting Averie go see Chelsea.
“She wants nothing but for something bad to happen to you. Wouldn’t going to her now be looking for trouble for yourself?”
Mike’s voice echoed through the entire villa.
The expressions on Hayden and Layla’s faces turned sullen.
“Don’t go out, Mommy,” Hayden said in a deep voice
“Listen to Uncle Mike and Hayden, Mommy. Stay at home like a good girl!” Layla begged softly as she held her mother’s hand.
The appearance of her children made reason return into Averie’s mind.
“I won’t go out.” She gave in and stood from the couch. “I’m going to take ashower.”
She was so anxious that she felt like her heart was on fire.
She wanted to do something, but her entire body feltge heavy.
When she was anxious to leave the house earlier, the baby kept kicking her as if he knew something was happening.
Averie returned to her bedroom and shut the door. She leaned back powerlessly against the door and breathed deeply.
Was there really nothing she could do?
If she were in trouble, Tammy would definitely come up with an idea to save her.
She could not just sit at home like this…
Suddenly, Averie’s phone rang and snapped her back to reality.
After she answered the call, Elyette’s powerful voice came through the phone.
“Don’t freak out, Averie. I’ve already sent people out to search for Tammy! We’ll find her even if we have to turn the entire city upside down!”
His words left her slightly breathless.
“I wanted to text you earlier, but ended up sending the message to Tammy instead. She only decided to come see me after she saw my text…”
“She was abducted, Averie. Even if they did not act today, they would do it tomorrow or the next day. This has nothing to do with you!” Elyette corrected Averie’s erroneous thoughts.
“Why don’t you think it’s got anything to do with me?” Averie retorted hoarsely. “Apart from Chelsea, I can’t think of anyone else who would do this! Tammy would never have been abducted if she were not my best friend!”
“Ben’s gone to look for Chelsea…”
“Do you think that would do anything?” Averie’s eyes were cold, but her tone was colder. “Do you think I don’t know the relationship between Ben and Chelsea? if I weren’t carrying your child right now, you wouldn’t even care about
Tammy’s life or death at all!”
Elyette stayed silent for a few seconds and did not argue with her.
“I’m coming back right away. Wait for me.”
Averie took a deep breath, then hung up the phone.
She dragged her heavy legs into the bathroom.
She turned on the tap and washed her face.
The thought that Tammy might be getting tortured right now made Averie’s heart ache.
Her phone screen suddenly lit up. She glanced warily over at the phone and saw Tammy’s name flashing on the screen!
Averie thought she was dreaming! She quickly picked up the phone and answered the call.
Once the video call was connected, an unfamiliar environment popped up on the phone screen.
It was a dark storage room with a bunch of unbelievably dirty men in it. These men were watching with greedy eyes at a woman who was lying on the ground…
Tammy! The woman on the ground was Tammy!
“Tammy! Wake up, Tammy!” Averie shrieked at the top of her lungs. When she saw that Tammy did not move a muscle, her nails dug into the palm of her hands. “Let go of Tammy! Let her go! I’ll give you anything you want!”
Chelsea was vicious and savage. Anyone who fell into her hands would not end up well,
“… I’ll get Chad to get Ben to go find Chelsea Tierney!” There was no way Mike was letting Averie go see Chelsea.
“She wants nothing but for something bad to happen to you. Wouldn’t going to her now be looking for trouble for yourself?”
Mike’s voice echoed through the entire villa.
The expressions on Hayden and Layla’s faces turned sullen.
“Don’t go out, Mommy,” Hayden said in a deep voice
“Listen to Uncle Mike and Hayden, Mommy. Stay at home like a good girl!” Layla begged softly as she held her mother’s hand.
The appearance of her children made reason return into Averie’s mind.
“I won’t go out.” She gave in and stood from the couch. “I’m going to take a shower.”
She was so anxious that she felt like her heart was on fire.
She wanted to do something, but her entire body felt heavy.
When she was anxious to leave the house earlier, the baby kept kicking her as if he knew something was happening.
Averie returned to her bedroom and shut the door. She leaned back powerlessly against the door and breathed deeply.
