Chapter 490: The Kidnapping
Ella screamed in terror, "Elias!"
Eric spun around, his eyes blazing with fury. Without hesitation, he hurled his phone at one of the black-clad men. Unfortunately, despite the blow, the man grimaced through the pain, hauling the unconscious Elias into the truck. The vehicle roared to life and sped away!
"Brother!" Dorian cried out, panic-stricken. Ella scooped him up and dashed forward, only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the truck’s taillights disappearing into the distance.
Eric had already jumped into their car, slamming the accelerator as he took off in hot pursuit.
Ella stood trembling, overwhelmed by the nightmare that had unfolded in mere seconds. She had always been cautious, anticipating potential dangers. But some man-made disasters defied all precautions. Onlookers gathered, murmuring anxiously about what had just transpired.
Tears filled Dorian’s eyes. "Mommy... they took Brother! Will Daddy be able to bring him back?"
Ella looked into her son’s tearful eyes, her own heart breaking. She nodded firmly, willing strength into her voice.
"Daddy is amazing. He’ll definitely bring Brother back!"
With that, she hurried to retrieve Eric’s discarded phone and called John. Her voice was shaky but resolute as she instructed him to dispatch reinforcements to intercept the unmarked truck.
John was stunned but quickly grasped the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, he mobilized his team in the direction Ella indicated.
Meanwhile, the four bodyguards remained unconscious on the ground, their faces pale and still. Ella deduced that the mascot-suited individuals must have drugged them, rendering them defenseless and making the kidnapping all too easy.
