All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 921 - Chapter 930

This was Christopher's responsibility, and a promise he had made to his grandparents.Jayden watched Christopher's retreating back. The smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by something darker.He called out, "Chris, is there nothing you want to say to me? Aren't you curious about Amelia?"Christopher paused for a second but didn't turn around. "I don't need to know."With that, he walked out of the conference room, leaving Jayden standing there, his expression turning grim.Christopher stepped out of the Zephyr Group building and looked up at the sky. The sunlight was bright, almost blinding, but it did nothing to cut through the weight pressing down on him.He pulled out his phone and called Nigel. "Any updates on Amelia?""Not yet."Nigel's voice carried a hint of frustration. "We've checked every lead we can think of, but there's still no trace of Ms. Sinclair or Mr. Burns. However, we did find that before Ms. Sinclair disappeared, Jayden moved a large sum of funds. The

Jayden had always been jealous of Christopher. He resented him for taking the position as head of the Zephyr family and for receiving their grandparents' favor.Jayden's desire to control Zephyr Group had always been strong. Now that he already had the company, why would he still take Amelia?Unless it was for the core data of the drone project.Amelia was a key engineer at the Academy of Aerospace. She was involved in the drone combat simulation program and had access to a large amount of sensitive data.If Jayden wanted to use her to obtain that data and sell it to foreign interests, then everything made sense."Maybe what he really wants is the drone project's core data."Christopher opened his eyes, his tone firm. "Amelia is part of the Academy of Aerospace's drone program. She has access to critical data. Jayden's always been interested in that project. He tried to get involved more than once, but I shut him down every time. Now that he has Amelia, he's probably planning t

Jayden turned and saw Jasper standing under a streetlight not far away, dressed in a black suit, calm and steady.Behind him stood several National Security Bureau agents, badges in hand."Jasper? What are you doing here?"Jayden frowned, a flash of caution in his eyes. He hadn't expected Jasper to find him, let alone bring federal agents.Jasper walked toward him step by step, his expression firm. "I'm here to tell you to stop. You've abducted two of the country's top engineers. That's a national security issue. Turn back now, and you might still have a way out. Hand Amelia over and cooperate with the investigation, and the judge might go easier on you.""Go easier on me?" Jayden let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery. "Drop the act. Amelia is my guest. This isn't kidnapping. Don't go throwing accusations!""A guest?" Jasper's tone turned sharp. "You lock someone on a remote island and cut off all contact. Is that how you treat a guest? Do you really think your tricks

No matter how much time had passed, no matter what had happened, Christopher's arms were still the place Amelia longed for.That deep, steady love had always been buried in the quietest part of her heart.When Amelia finally calmed down, Christopher loosened his hold. He cupped her face and looked her over carefully. "Are you hurt? Did he do anything to you?"Amelia shook her head, wiping the tears from her face with a small smile. "I'm okay. He didn't hurt me. He just kept me here and cut me off from the outside."Only then did Christopher let out a breath. "How did you take control of all of them? That was dangerous."Amelia lowered her head, a little embarrassed. "I waited until they weren't paying attention and slipped a small amount of a plant-based sedative into their food. I'd been observing things for days. There's a plant on the island that makes people drowsy if you consume a small amount, so…"Christopher looked at her.In a situation like that, cut off and alone, s

However, reason quickly took over Christopher's mind again.Just then, his phone rang, breaking the silence on the deck.It was Nigel.Christopher took a breath and answered."Mr. Zephyr, we'll reach the dock in about an hour." Nigel's voice came through, steady and respectful. "Also, Dr. Reid is already waiting there. She said she brought your medication."The mention of Jessica hit like cold water, instantly putting out the spark that had just risen in Christopher's chest.He snapped back to himself as he was reminded of his depression, of the times he had lost control and the mistakes that followed.He couldn't be that selfish. He couldn't let one moment of impulse put Amelia in danger again."Got it." His voice returned to its usual calm, giving nothing away. "Make arrangements. Once we dock, I'll go see Jessica first."After hanging up, Christopher stayed on the deck for a long time. Only when the ship drew closer to the dock did he turn and head inside.Each step felt h
