Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her: Bab 471 - Bab 480

Caitlin’s words left Zora completely speechless.“Caitlin, you—”She pointed a trembling finger at her, too furious to form a full sentence.“Don’t point at me!”Caitlin slapped her hand away without hesitation. “I think Miss Harris not only suffers from delusions of persecution but also has a few screws loose. You should go buy more walnuts for that brain of yours.”Without sparing Zora another glance, Caitlin led her team straight out of the trading hall.Zora was so furious she could barely breathe. She had never been humiliated like this before. Caitlin actually said that in public, not sparing her the slightest bit of dignity.She was practically about to explode from rage.Abel’s gaze lingered on Caitlin's back until she disappeared out the door.Zora turned and glared at Abel, snapping, “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for her too?”Abel looked away, a faint smile tugging at his lips. He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, “How could I? You’re my sweetheart.”“But you haven’t

“This isn’t an old woman at all! Her build and the way she walks—it’s nothing like someone elderly…”Caitlin narrowed her eyes as she rewatched the surveillance footage. A person’s age could often be guessed from posture and gait. This so-called “elderly lady” had white hair, yes, but her movements were far too steady and energetic.Something clicked.“And I *know* that silhouette… That’s Megan! No wonder she looked familiar!”“Megan? You mean that woman who was begging you in the mall to spare her son?” Zinnia asked.“Yes! It must be her. She’s trying to use Patricia to threaten me, force me to let her son go.”The more Caitlin thought about it, the more convinced she became. Megan had clearly reached the point of desperation.She immediately called Sebastian to report her theory.Sebastian and his team were still reviewing vehicles that had passed by the park entrance when he got Caitlin’s call. Upon hearing her suspicion, he ordered an immediate investigation into Megan’s whereabou

“If I don’t see my son, I’m not letting anyone go!”Megan stood her ground, eyes fierce and unyielding.Sebastian raised his phone.“Fine. I’m calling the police now. You’ll see him soon enough.”He dialed Felix, who was already en route with his team—but it would take them at least another twenty minutes to arrive.Meanwhile, Caitlin and the others reached the site. She and Zinnia rushed out of the car and sprinted toward the abandoned building.Ximena and Zeke followed behind, everyone racing up the stairs together.On the fifth floor, Caitlin saw Sebastian and ran up, breathless.“Sebastian! What’s happening?”“Patricia’s with her.”Caitlin’s eyes followed his gaze to the edge of the scaffold—and there was her daughter, bound tightly with ropes, Megan crouched next to her with a knife at the ready, poised over the rope.The sight of her daughter’s tear-streaked face hit her like a blade to the heart.“Patricia… Mommy’s here…”Ximena gasped when she saw the scene, her heart clenchin

“Maybe he saw something. Tyler went after him too.”Sebastian glanced toward the two figures who had taken off running.“My guess? The person behind all this—the one pulling the strings—was hiding nearby in those woods, watching everything unfold.”“They’d better catch that bastard,” Caitlin said through clenched teeth.“They will,” Sebastian replied firmly as he carried Patricia into the car. They needed to get her to the hospital.On the way, Patricia clung tightly to Caitlin. Her little body was still trembling.Caitlin’s heart shattered all over again. When she saw the bruises on her daughter's arms and torso—marks left from the ropes—her tears wouldn’t stop.She gently wiped them away and asked softly,“Patricia, can you tell Mommy what happened? How did you end up leaving the amusement park?”“Imani said… she said she’d take me to see Ximena… I missed Ximena…”Patricia’s voice trembled, her lips quivering before she burst into tears.Caitlin stroked her back and gently cradled h

The intimate moment was instantly ruined. Caitlin instinctively pushed Sebastian away, her cheeks tinged pink as she turned her head to look out the window.Sebastian, face darkening, turned toward the intruder. His eyes—sharp as knives—landed on Xavi, who visibly flinched under the weight of his glare.Seriously?Did he really have to barge in at that exact moment?“What is it?”Sebastian’s voice dropped a few degrees in temperature. Among all his subordinates, if there were an award for being the most clueless at critical moments, Xavi would win hands down.“Uh… it’s kinda hard to say.” Xavi stole a glance at Caitlin, clearly hesitant.“What can’t you say?” Sebastian’s brows furrowed, tightening with impatience.Xavi scratched his head, still silent.Caitlin quickly picked up on the awkwardness and guessed it might be something inconvenient to say in front of her. She turned and said calmly,“I’ll go check on the kids. You two talk.”Once Caitlin left, Sebastian gave Xavi a look tha
