Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 690: Tense Moments, the Father and Son Finally Meet (2)_1

The Horne family's Crown Prince was formidable; they expected he would soon be on their trail.

"Be careful not to let anyone see." Hearing this, Silvia Baxter knew her plan had succeeded and immediately instructed in a low voice.

"Mm."

After hanging up the phone, a triumphant smile appeared on Silvia Baxter's lips.

The Sect Leader would surely praise her for her cleverness. Gaining his approval, she would have a promising future in the Flame Gate. Among her peers who had joined at the same time as her, she was the most appreciated and entrusted with important tasks. Her goal was to become the first female elder of the Flame Gate because all the elders were men; she wanted to set a precedent and prove her extraordinary capabilities.

「The Horne family.」

"What time is it? Why hasn't the school bus arrived yet?" Mila Anderson was frantically pacing in the hall. She had called the school countless times, and each time they said the bus had already left.

But it was past six o'clock, and the school bus still hadn't arrived.

Could there have been an issue on the road?

The school was also worried, continuously calling the bus driver's phone. The calls went through, but no one answered.

All the students on the bus were children from wealthy families, not to mention the two young masters of the Horne family.

It was the first time the two young masters had taken the school bus home, and something had happened.

The school officials didn't even dare to consider the worst; they couldn't bear the Crown Prince's wrath.

"What's gotten into Julia today, letting the school bus pick them up? Even if she was busy, she could have arranged for someone to get the children," the old lady fretted, unable to stop herself from blaming Julia.

"Mom, Mila, don't worry yet. Everything will be fine. Maybe it's just a traffic delay," Gian Horne comforted his wife and mother.

Mila Anderson immediately glared at him and said coldly, "My grandsons haven't come home yet; how can I not be worried? You're not worried, are you? It's because they aren't James's sons, that's why you're not worried, right?"

In recent years, Gian had tried to turn over a new leaf, striving to save his marriage as if courting Mila anew. However, he still could not win her affection. Mila had truly given up on him. She had told Gian she'd given him thirty years to repent, but he never had. Now, she didn't want to give him another chance. It was water under the bridge.

Whatever Gian said, Mila would find fault.

If it weren't for the old lady's deteriorating health, Mila's promise to her, and her attachment to her children and grandchildren, Mila would have left the Horne family long ago.

"Mila, those are my grandsons too! My heart aches for them just as much as yours. How can you accuse me like this?" Gian Horne shouted, aggrieved.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. We need to call Glades, Julia, and Adele right away. Even if there's traffic, the driver should answer his phone. If the driver isn't answering, it's highly likely something has happened," the old lady said. Though worried, she remained composed and rational, stopping her son and daughter-in-law's quarrel and giving instructions.

Mila Anderson immediately used her phone to call Julia, but it was turned off. After several attempts with the same result, Mila couldn't help but curse, "What's wrong with Julia? Her phone is unreachable!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Since Julia's phone was unreachable, Mila Anderson immediately called Glades Horne.

"Mom." Glades Horne's voice was unusually cold, a bone-chilling cold that also carried the intensity of a Category 12 typhoon.

Even through the phone, Mila Anderson could sense her son was on the verge of a meltdown.

Mila's heart sank. The only things that could trigger such rage in her son were if something had happened to Julia or Ivan.

Julia's phone was unreachable, and her grandsons weren't home yet. Could it be that one misfortune had followed another? Just the thought made Mila Anderson's hands tremble.

"Glades, Ivan and Jimmy got on the school bus after four, but they still haven't arrived. The school confirmed multiple times that both boys boarded. The bus driver's surname is Yang. We've been calling his phone, but it just rings with no answer. Mom's worried..."

"Damn it!" Glades Horne suddenly growled.

His handsome face darkened to an indescribable degree.

When Julia finished work, he had gone to pick her up himself. He planned for them to return to their little home and also visit his parents-in-law. However, while they were buying gifts to take to the Bluen family, Julia was kidnapped!

Right in front of him, Glades Horne, right by his side, they had brazenly kidnapped the wife he cherished above all else, right on the street!

Those people had guns!

He recognized the British man leading them.

Noah Reyes's men!

He was furious! He'd immediately jumped in his car, unafraid of their guns, and chased them like a madman. If Noah Reyes dared to harm a single hair on Julia's head, he would tear him to pieces! To hell with that leader of the Flame Gate! Whoever hurt his Julia wouldn't live!

Just then, he received the call from his mother, learning his precious son had also gone missing.

He didn't need to think twice to know it was Noah Reyes's doing. Despicable Noah Reyes! Utterly shameless, like a petty coward. If he had any guts, why didn't he come after him, Glades Horne, directly? Targeting his woman and child—what kind of man did that make him? Is this how the Flame Gate operated? The Mafia Society was just that—always resorting to underhanded tactics!

At this moment, Glades Horne's hatred for Noah Reyes made him gnash his teeth.

Two men, so similar, yet as Hansen Ruiz had said, not all heroes admired one another. Glades Horne and Noah Reyes were sworn enemies, not friends.

"Mom, I'll have people look for them immediately. Don't worry," Glades said in a low voice, trying to reassure his mother. He didn't tell her Julia had also been kidnapped.

"How can I not worry? Those are my grandsons! And Julia, what about her? Is her phone dead, or...?" Mila Anderson pressed.

"Mom, I'm driving. I have to hang up." Glades Horne didn't answer his mother. He ended the call and slowed the car. The kidnappers had been driving erratically, trying to lose him. Now, seeing they couldn't shake him, they were heading for the outskirts.

Glades Horne had already called the police.

Benjamin Robinson was leading police officers to help him chase Deon Myers and his men.

For his son and nephew, he now needed Hansen Ruiz's help.

"Ruiz, Ivan and Jimmy are missing! Start a city-wide search for them immediately. I need them found, safe and sound!"

Ruiz was shocked. What kind of day was this? How could so many things happen at once? It felt like everything was collapsing simultaneously.

He quickly agreed and then made countless calls, casting a dragnet across the entire city to find Ivan Horne and Jimmy Horne.

Meanwhile, Adele Horne was still at the Emperor Hotel having dinner with Gio Coleman, deep in conversation, when she suddenly received a call from her mother. She excused herself to Gio Coleman, saying, "I need to take this call."
