Chapter 914 The Mystery of the Disappearance
Jerome had long prepared himself for a thorough scolding from Charlotte and Joe, among others. Surprisingly, they just glanced at him indifferently and quickly
walked away, avoiding him. Such a reaction made him feel even worse than a harsh rebuke. “Director Fenton, shall we go and take a look first?” Seeing Jerome’s uneasy expression, Terrence hurriedly whispered, “Maybe the children have just wandered off for a moment, and we might find them soon.” Jerome watched the parents’ retreating backs and sighed heavily, “Let’s go.” By the time the parents arrived, all the cameramen were frantically searching. Each one of them was panting and drenched in sweat. Yet none dared suggest stopping the search, always thinking that if they had immediately acted upon seeing the children disappear, perhaps…
They exchanged glances, but nobody dared to utter those words. “How did the children go missing?” Charlotte approached the cameramen with a stern face, her hands clenched tightly into fists, obviously struggling to suppress her anger. The cameramen hesitated for a moment, then nervously revealed the truth. “So, you just watched as three four-year-old kids disappeared into the cornfield, and expected them to come out on their own!” Charlotte looked at the cameramen with utter disdain. Normally, her attitude toward the staff was very gentle; this was the first time they had seen her this stern. The cameramen suddenly realized that they often filmed the top professionals in various fields. Offending them could be… The cameramen couldn’t help but shudder.

shoulder, “I have already had Jack bring people here. Let’s start searching.” Charlotte gave the cameramen one final piercing look and then turned to enter the cornfield. Jerome, who arrived shortly after, pointed angrily at them and said, “You all might as well change your professions.” The cameramen’ faces immediately turned pale. Although the cornfield wasn’t small, it was also not endlessly vast. Charlotte, Joe, and several other parents, together with the staff, searched it thoroughly but still couldn’t find any trace of the children. Charlotte’s heart slowly sank. Was it possible that the children were no longer in this cornfield? Jack arrived quickly, bringing not just a team of 30 professional rescuers, but also a hundred-bodyguard team. Even Erik, Gorya, and Mandy rushed over. After Erik and Gorya walked around the cornfield, they approached Charlotte with serious faces, “The children seem to have encountered another group of people in the cornfield and were taken away by them.” Though the kidnappers tried to cover their tracks, they couldn’t outsmart Erik and the others, who still found some clues. The cameramen had secretly been hoping that if the children had just wandered off on their own, maybe they wouldn’t bear all the responsibility. But now… The children were snatched away right under their noses; they no longer had the luxury of comforting themselves… “Contact the police, and seal off all nearby roads and public transport. If there are not enough police, our people will help,” Joe said gravely to Jack. Jack nodded repeatedly and quickly retreated to make phone calls.
