Chapter 260: Someone else took her.
"Did he open his mouth?" Steward asked.
Theodore sighed heavily, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "She is not with him," he said with a mix of frustration and despair. "Someone else has taken her."
Steward frowned, skepticism etched into his features. "Are you certain? You can’t trust a man like Keith. Give me some time—I’ll get the truth out of him."
Theodore shook his head, stopping him. "It’s no use. He doesn’t know anything. "Someone else took her away." The thought of Bella being with Zack made his heart clench.
Steward studied him. "If it’s not Keith, who else could have taken her? Do you suspect anyone?"
"I do," Theodore said with a firm nod. "It’s Zack Hudson."
"Zack Hudson," Steward repeated the name, tilting his head slightly. "Why do you suspect him?"
"Because he is obsessed with Bella," Theodore muttered in frustration. "She looks like his dead girlfriend. He has been following her for so long, even after she told him she was married to me. But that psychopath doesn’t care. I’m certain he is involved in her disappearance."
Steward nodded grimly, absorbing the information. "A delusional admirer," he muttered. "That makes him dangerous." After a moment of pause, he added, "Don’t worry. I’ll pick him up and interrogate him."
"Don’t do anything reckless," Theodore interrupted him. "If Bella is with him, we can’t risk alerting him. He might hurt her. I need to confirm she is there first, then figure out how to get her back safely."
Steward gave a slow nod, acknowledging Theodore’s reasoning. "Understood. If you need my help, don’t hesitate. I’ll wait for your call."
Theodore’s lips pressed into a thin line as he opened his car door. "I’ll let you know," he said shortly before sliding into the driver’s seat. The car roared to life and sped off down the desolate road.
