Chapter 1900
Carlos’ words left me puzzled about Cory’s link to Alexandria.
What could drive a man to risk everything to abduct Dylan?
Time was against us, and without hesitation, I instructed, “Check Cory’s house and investigate anyone associated with him.
It’s possible Alexandria is there.
”
Carlos, burdened with guilt, was eager to assist.
He phoned two men acquainted with Cory, directing them to carry out the search.
Once Cory’s background was laid bare, Caleb turned to face the butler.
Visibly trembling, the butler knelt before Caleb.
“Why does my mother’s nutritionist have connections to Alexandria?”
Caleb inquired, his voice tinged with frost.
The butler hesitated before stealing a glance in my direction.
He spoke with caution.
“Sir, perhaps it’s slipped your mind? The nutritionist’s name is Mae Medina.
She was quite taken with you, even willing to be your mistress, but you paid her no mind.
”
I shot Caleb a look filled with both anger and anxiety.
This situation stemmed from the women who circled him relentlessly.
The butler went on, “It seems Mae’s affection for you morphed into bitterness over the years.
I considered suggesting a new nutritionist to your mother, but her health has been frail.
Besides, you’re now married with children, and Mae appeared to have moved on from you.
She hadn’t done anything wrong previously, so I saw no reason to dismiss her.

Caleb met my gaze, his eyes swimming with guilt and unease.
I chose not to engage with him further.
Now was not the time for confrontation.
I needed to find Dylan urgently.
With the backgrounds of Cory and Mae clarified, Caleb and I headed for the mountainous region behind the villa, where the pair had last been seen with Dylan.
Debra’s POV:
Finding three individuals within the vast, dense forest proved far more challenging than anticipated.
Despite extensive searches by all the bodyguards at the manor, not a single trace emerged.
The captain surveyed the weary, muddied bodyguards trailing behind him before approaching me and Caleb with his report.
Breathing heavily, he stated, “Sir, locating anyone in this wilderness is exceedingly challenging.
Perhaps we should deploy drones to encircle this area and wait for the two to escort the boy out?”
A shadow crossed my face, mirrored by Caleb’s.
He responded through clenched teeth, “What if they remain concealed in the forest?”
The captain instinctively replied, “That’s unlikely.
They didn’t bring food.
”
Yet, a moment later, realization struck him, draining the color from his face.
Perceiving his concern, Caleb said coldly, “The mountains are rife with wild animals.
Dylan is very young.
The longer he remains lost, the greater the peril!”
The bodyguard bowed his head, remaining silent.
“Deploy additional personnel.
Conduct a thorough search of all forested areas within three days,” Caleb ordered firmly.
“Yes, sir!” the captain replied hastily.
