CHAPTER 80: CHAPTER 80: OH NO, THE YOUNG MISTRESS IS MISSING

Hawthorne Group

In the CEO office, Caden Hawthorne was holding Vivian Lynch’s data, while Zachary Sutton in front of him was endlessly recounting her background.

"According to the investigation, Vivian Lynch was adopted by Daniel Lynch at the age of five. At that time, she was lost and stayed in an orphanage, having lost her childhood memories. According to the orphanage director’s statement, she was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage, and the director does not know who her biological parents are. After comparing with databases, we have not found her biological parents either. Perhaps, her biological parents are no longer alive, and your sister-in-law might just be an orphan."

Upon hearing this, Zachary Sutton couldn’t help but look at Caden Hawthorne, "Caden, do you still want to continue investigating?"

Caden Hawthorne looked serious and spoke slowly after a long pause, "Not finding them means there is still a chance. Keep investigating, we cannot just give up like this."

He couldn’t imagine how heartbroken Vivian Lynch would be if she found out her biological parents were no longer alive and she was just an orphan?

As he finished speaking, Caden Hawthorne couldn’t help but clench his fist, his eyes showing a deep concern for Vivian Lynch.

Zachary Sutton looked at Caden Hawthorne’s reaction, feeling deeply moved. He knew how strongly Caden felt for Vivian Lynch and understood the love behind this concern.

"Alright, I’ll continue to have people investigate," Zachary Sutton said. "But Caden, have you thought about what to do if we really can’t find your sister-in-law’s biological parents?"

Caden Hawthorne narrowed his eyes slightly, contemplated for a moment and said, "No matter the outcome, I’ll always be there for Vivian. She’s not alone, she has me, our child, and this home."

Zachary Sutton nodded, feeling admiration for Caden Hawthorne’s resolve.

"I believe you can definitely bring happiness to your sister-in-law. I’ll arrange for someone to continue the investigation now."

After Zachary Sutton left, Caden Hawthorne sat in front of his desk, looked at Vivian Lynch’s photo, and silently vowed to find her biological parents, give her a complete answer, and ensure she has no regrets.

Even if they can’t be found, he would double his care for her, providing a complete family for her and the child.

After spending a warm day at the Lynch Family, Vivian Lynch was escorted by Butler Hughes, preparing to return to Hartswell Manor.

At this moment, the car stopped midway.

"Uncle Hughes, what’s happening?" Vivian Lynch, sitting in the back seat, looked toward Simon Hughes who was driving.

"Madam, the car seems to have broken down."

Butler Hughes quickly got out of the car to check the situation and then returned to the car looking somewhat anxious, saying to Vivian Lynch, "Madam, there’s an issue with the car, it might not be fixed for a while. I’ll call someone for help right away."

Vivian Lynch frowned slightly but remained calm. "Okay, Uncle Hughes, please contact others quickly."

Butler Hughes dialed the phone, explained the situation to the people at the manor, and requested to send someone to pick up the madam as soon as possible.

Feeling a bit stuffy after staying in the car for a while, Vivian Lynch opened the car door, deciding to get some air outside.

Butler Hughes was still on the phone nearby, not noticing Vivian Lynch got out of the car.

Just then, a van slowly stopped in front of Vivian Lynch.

Before Vivian Lynch could react, she saw the van door open, and two unfamiliar men quickly jumped out of the vehicle.

Sensing danger, Vivian Lynch turned to run.

As she was about to shout for help, a man held a white cloth in his hand, quickly covering her nose and mouth from behind.

Vivian Lynch widened her eyes, wanting to scream.

The next moment, she felt dizzy and passed out.

The two men quickly lifted Vivian Lynch onto the van, closed the door, and drove off in the opposite direction.

Butler Hughes didn’t notice what happened behind the car and after hanging up the phone, returned to the car and opened the back door, intending to tell Vivian that Assistant Coleman would soon come to pick her up.

Upon seeing the car empty with no sign of Vivian Lynch, Simon Hughes began to panic, "Where’s the madam?"

He closed the car door and immediately looked around, but did not see Vivian Lynch anywhere.

"Madam..." Simon Hughes hurriedly searched everywhere.

Butler Hughes’ heart was pounding as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

While calling out Vivian Lynch’s name, he carefully searched the surroundings for clues.

However, besides finding a hand chain that Vivian Lynch had dropped on the ground, he didn’t discover any useful information.

Butler Hughes hurriedly dialed Caden Hawthorne’s phone again, his voice trembling, "Young master, something’s gone wrong, madam is missing!"

As soon as Caden Hawthorne heard this, his heart sank sharply, "What? What happened?"

Butler Hughes quickly recounted the incident.

Caden Hawthorne’s face turned livid, filled with anger and worry.

"Dispatch people immediately to search! We must find Vivian!"

After ending the call, Caden Hawthorne immediately called Zachary Sutton and Bryan Coleman, instructing them to quickly rally their subordinates to launch an all-out search for Vivian Lynch’s whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Vivian Lynch was still in a state of unconsciousness inside the van.

"Tiger, this young lady is quite pretty."

A small, skinny man leered at Vivian Lynch.

The man called "Tiger" reached out and knocked on his head, grumbling, "I think you’re really starved, being interested in a pregnant woman."

The skinny man rubbed his knocked head, mumbling, "Tiger, I’m just talking nonsense. Besides, this woman doesn’t seem ordinary, maybe we could get some benefits from her."

Tiger glared at him, "Stop fantasizing. We just need to follow orders, deliver her to the designated place, take the money, and leave."

The skinny man nodded and said no more. The van sped down the highway, heading toward an unknown destination.

Meanwhile, Caden Hawthorne was anxiously waiting for news.

He paced back and forth in the office, filled with anxiety and impatience.

Ultimately, he decided to search personally.

Taking the car key, looking anxious, he quickly rushed out of the CEO office.

Zachary Sutton and Bryan Coleman rapidly took action, mobilizing all available resources and networks to launch a massive search, and also retrieved surveillance footage from the vicinity of Vivian Lynch’s disappearance.

As time ticked by, Caden Hawthorne’s mood grew heavier.

He didn’t know if Vivian Lynch was safe, he could only pray she would be unharmed.

Quickly, Caden Hawthorne arrived at the scene of Vivian Lynch’s disappearance.

At this moment, Simon Hughes was sitting on the ground, looking deeply remorseful.

Caden Hawthorne stepped out of the car and rushed over to Simon Hughes, hauling him up from the ground.

"Uncle Hughes, didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Vivian? How could she disappear for no reason?" At this moment, Caden Hawthorne was filled with anger.

Simon Hughes couldn’t help but shed tears, "Young master, it’s my fault, I couldn’t take good care of the madam, it’s all my fault!"

As he spoke, Uncle Hughes remorsefully slapped himself.

Just then, Zachary Sutton arrived at the scene by car as well.

Seeing Caden Hawthorne berating Butler Hughes, he hurried over and quickly pulled Caden away, "Caden, don’t be like this, calm down."
