Timothy wholeheartedly agreed with that statement. In fact, that was why he ignored what Harper said. Meanwhile, Harper did not go to the spot agreed upon and just sent a subordinate over.
Later on, he received a call from his subordinate. An evil smirk spread across his lips. ‘Oh, Timothy Reinhart. You want to play, eh? Let’s see who can last until the end.”
He then called one of his men over. “Send the prepared item to the Tompkins.” Half an hour later, Henry’s parents rushed over to the Reinhart Enterprise in a panic.
“Be honest with us, Timothy. Has our Henry been kidnapped?”
Mr. Tompkins’ hands were trembling as he clutched at Timothy’s shirt. Timothy froze for a moment before returning to his usual state. “Where did you hear that, Mr. Tompkins? That’s…”
Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Tompkins interrupted him. “Don’t lie to us, Timothy. The kidnappers had sent us photos of Henry.” She gulped as she handed her phone to him.
Displayed on the phone was a photo of Henry’s bleeding arm. Timothy gritted his teeth. He had not expected Harper to be so shameless. Immediately, rage burned in him.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress the fury before he solemnly responded, “Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins, don’t panic. I will save Henry.”
He then turned to Edward and the others. “We cannot stall any longer. I must talk to Harper now. Otherwise, who knows what else he would do to Henry?”
“I’ll go with you.” Edward stood up. There was an air around him that brooked no argument. After all, one of the reasons Nicholas sent him was to protect Timothy.
Timothy did not reject the offer and turned to instruct Sabrina, “Take this photo to the police. They could surely extrapolate where Henry is based on the background. I will do my best to stall Harper and win us some time.”
Sabrina swiftly took the photo from the Tompkins and headed to the police station without hesitation.
After the police knew why she was there, they immediately had their experts analyze the photo. Meanwhile, Nicholas also received Edward’s report of the situation along with the photo of Henry
After thoroughly scrutinizing the photo, he realized that Henry appeared to be outdoors in the photo There was a fence to the side. Besides that, the photo was a wide shot that showed the sky as well.
Upon seeing that, Nicholas narrowed his eyes as he swiftly recalled any locations he knew of that were similar to the location pictured in the photo Soon, a detail found in the photo told him that Henry was currently at a port Once he was certain of that, he contacted Edward.
“Henry is at a port somewhere. There aren’t a lot of ports in Southend. See if there are any ports linked to Prospera Group look into it right away
Edward nodded and turned to order his subordinates to start the investigation. Soon, they found a port that looked similar to the photo.
It was built a few years ago. More importantly, Harper’s private boat was parked on that dock. Edward immediately called Nicholas to inform him about the new development.
“We’ve found the place, sir. Henry is most likely at the Bracket Point Port,” he immediately told Nicholas what they found.
Nicholas nodded. “Very well. Tell the police about the port and also tell Timothy to stall Henry even longer. Everything will have to be dragged out until we find Henry.”
Edward acknowledged the instructions before hanging up.
Just then, Tessa walked into the room. She had been waiting by the office door for a while but did not enter the room because she could hear Nicholas speaking on the phone.
To her surprise, the few minutes she spent waiting outside actually led her to find out about something so shocking. “Nicholas, has something happened to Timothy?” she asked, panicked.
Nicholas was not surprised to see Tessa enter his office though.
