Chapter 567 Ben Is Missing
"I've said that I won't go!" Harold said firmly.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"Quentin, you're my only son now..."
Harold said coldly, "Your only son? What about my sister? What is she to you?"
Toby paused for a moment before saying, "Of course she is also my child, but she's my daughter. I am not wrong, am I? It would be better if you two could come together. I'll be very happy to see you!"
He was indeed a smart man. If Harold and Audrey went to the Munn's, Toby would have more shares and still own the Munn Group with their support. No one could take it away from him, because he and his supporters had the most shares.
"I don't want to repeat what I said. Don't call me again or come to me. I'll neither answer your call nor meet you!"
After that, Harold hung up directly.
He said angrily, "Did you hear what he said?"
Audrey smiled. "You are his son, so understandably he wants you to return to the Munn's. After all you are the eldest son of the Munns."
"But you're the eldest sister." This irritated Harold the most.
Toby only mentioned Harold and ignored Audrey completely, which indicated that he valued boys more than girls.
"So you insist on not returning to the Munn's?"
Harold replied firmly, "Yes!"
He looked at Audrey worriedly. "Although he wants me to go back, I have no interest in the Munn Group at all, so please don't drive me away." Audrey held his hand gently. "Don't be silly. I'm your sister. I'll never drive you away. Don't worry."
Harold then revealed an innocent smile at her.
"Thank you."
"Alright, don't think too much. You don't have to stay at home with me this afternoon. I'm fine. You should go to school!"
Harold said, "There is an event today, so I don't need to be there. I will stay at home with you."
Audrey smiled, "I've said that you don't have to do that. You and Winnie just went steady, so you should spend more time with her."
Hearing this, Harold blushed.
"We can see each other every day and don't have to be together all the time. Besides, I told her this afternoon that I would stay at home, and she also asked me to take good care of you." "Winnie is a good girl. You must be good to her!" Audrey looked at Harold seriously.
Harold nodded.
"I see. Don't worry."
Just as he finished speaking, Audrey's phone rang.
She saw at a glance that it was Curtis.
"What's up, Mr. Walter?"
Hearing her voice, Curtis said anxiously, "Ms. Audrey, here is the thing. Ben somehow saw from the TV that Emiliano was his mother. He then left the school and was nowhere to be seen now. I ... I don't know where he went and who I could ask for help, so... I called you."
Audrey stood up with a frown.
"Calm down first, Mr. Walter. How about this? I'll go out and help you look for him. Tell me a few places where Ben often goes."
"Okay, thank you so much, Ms. Audrey!"
Audrey hung up after Curtis said two places.
Seeing the strange look on her face, Harold immediately asked, "What happened?"
"It's Ben. He is missing!" Audrey said.
Harold also knew Ben, because he often ate at the door and saw Audrey talking to Curtis.
The news also panicked him.
"What? He's missing! How could this happen?"
"He probably saw from the TV that Emiliano is his mother. It came as a huge blow to him, so he skipped class and left the school."
"It's really hard to find him in such a large city. Where should we go?"
Audrey took her bag and key as she walked to the door. "Anyway, let's split up and see if we can find him."
"Okay!"
"Wait!" Audrey seemed to think of something and stopped.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop? Aren't we going to look for Ben? We'd better find him as soon as possible to ensure that he's safe. In that case, Mr. Walter won't be worried."
Audrey said thoughtfully, "I know Ben. He is a strong child. For so many years, other children have been laughing at him for having no mother, but he never shed tears. I once saw many of his drawings, which are mostly abstract female portraits, so I think..."
"Did you think of something?"
Audrey made a decision. "Let's go to the prison!"
"What? Prison?" What she said startled Harold.
He never wanted to go to such a horrible place again.
"Yes!" Audrey nodded. "I guess Ben didn't skip class for running away from home. He ... he might have gone to find his mother."
She analyzed, "The news only showed that Emiliano was taken away by the police, and the host said that she would be sent back to prison. Ben misses his mother so much, so I think he might go to find her." Harold said, "But there are so many prisons in Peace City. Which one will he go to?"
"Let's start from the prisons near his school. The city is big, but we know where the prisons are, so let's split up and start looking for him."
Harold nodded. "Okay!"
Just as he was about to leave, Audrey grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?" Harold looked at her in surprise.
"If you don't want to go, I will find him myself."
"It doesn't matter. It's all in the past. Besides, I've started a new life."
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. "Alright, then let's go. If you find Ben, don't forget to call me."
"Okay."
They went to different prisons to look for Ben, and Curtis headed to the places where Ben usually went according to the plan.
Audrey had wanted to call Bryson for help after going out.
But at the thought that Bryson was in the hospital, she dismissed the idea, put away her phone, and found a taxi.
She felt she'd better not call him at this time in case Caroline would blame her again.
