Chapter 450
Rosalie received a call from Matilda. Matilda’s voice sounded lost over the phone. “Rosalie, um… Warren took Amelia and Aiden away.
What should I do? Amelia told me not to worry, but the more I thought about it, the more worried I got. I called her, but no one answered!”
Rosalie was stunned. “What’s going on? Are you still in Strico right now?”
“Yes, we were about to get our tickets inspected, but then, Amelia took Aiden to the bathroom. I waited for them, but they never showed up again. When I called Amelia, she said that she was with Warren…”
Matilda’s voice sounded like she was choking on tears.
Rosalie hurriedly comforted Matilda. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Haab. I’ll find a way to deal with it. I’ll talk to you later.”
After hanging up, Rosalie frowned. She thought that things might get better if Amelia went to Gerton.
But Warren just had to take Amelia and Aiden away at that moment.
She wondered where he would take them. They could’ve gone out of town, or they might have stayed in Strico.
She wondered what she could do to find Amelia and Aiden. She could call the police, for example.
But it hadn’t even been 24 hours since Amelia and Aiden disappeared. Besides, Amelia and Warren knew each other, and Amelia also told Matilda that she was with Warren. She even told Matilda not to worry…
If that was the case, the police might not do anything about it at all.
Rosalie thought, “If so, the fastest way to find someone in Strico would be…” Jonathan’s face flashed through Rosalie’s mind.
If Jonathan was willing to take action, he could quickly figure out where Amelia and Aiden had gone.
Rosalie thought, “But… If I were to talk to Jonathan…
Rosalie bit her lip and thought, “Forget it. I have to prioritize Amelia and Aiden right now.”
After all, Amelia was desperately trying to get away from Warren! She had been carefully protecting Aiden so that Warren wouldn’t find out about him. The worst-case scenario had already happened!
Rosalie had no idea if they would get into a conflict. Amelia might react excessively if that happened.
Rosalie subconsciously tried to find Jonathan’s phone number on her list of contacts. But in the next moment, her hands froze.
She had already deleted Jonathan’s contact information.
She had deleted both his numbers!
As she tried to recall his phone number, a series of numbers appeared in her mind.
She didn’t realize that she had already memorized his phone number. Rosalie smiled bitterly as she typed out the string of numbers with her fingers.
In the large conference room, senior executives of Youngblood Group were presenting their reports.
Jonathan sat at the CEO’s seat, leaning against the back of his chair. He looked coldly at the senior executive who was presenting his report, then at the series of data on the screen.
The senior executive felt cold sweat running down his back. Although Jonathan didn’t say anything for now, everyone knew that he was in a bad mood recently.
He was in an extremely foul mood, even.
Many senior executives had already suffered Jonathan’s wrath.
Jonathan wouldn’t scold them, but the cold air he emitted was enough to make them tremble. A vice president was even laid off right away yesterday!
The senior executive tried his best to complete the last sentence in his report. Then, he carefully peered at Jonathan. He was afraid that Jonathan would find fault with his report.
The atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
At that moment, someone’s phone rang. The people in the conference room immediately looked at the two phones placed in front of Jonathan,
All the senior executives of the Youngblood Group knew that Jonathan had two phones. One was a high-end limited-edition phone worth more than a thousand dollars, whereas the other was a cheap phone that could be found anywhere in the city. But Jonathan usually took good care of the cheaper phone, even though he rarely received any calls on it.
But at that moment, the ringtone was coming from the cheaper phone.
Everyone saw Jonathan’s expression suddenly change. Then, he picked up the call right in front of everyone else. After a while, they heard Jonathan say, “Are you begging me…? Alright, send me their photos and the last location where they were found. I’ll get someone to look into it.”
In an instant, everyone was secretly shocked.
“Begging?” they wondered, “Would Mr. Youngblood even care if someone was begging him or not? With his heart of steel, even if someone got on their knees and begged him desperately, Mr. Youngblood wouldn’t even care about it.”
But just now, he had asked if the person was begging him.
They wondered about the identity of the person who called him.
Only Carlos knew that it was Rosalie who made the call.
After all, Rosalie was the only one who knew the number of that phone. Also, that phone only had Rosalie’s number saved on it.
“Still…” Carlos thought. He was also curious about what Rosalie had begged of Jonathan.
Meanwhile, even though the call was already over, Rosalie was still looking at her phone in a daze.
She had begged Jonathan just now. Yes, she had no choice but to do it.
If she only had to beg Jonathan to learn about Amelia’s and Aiden’s current situation and safety, it would be worth the effort.
After all, when she was desperately looking for a job, Amelia was the only person who ignored her criminal record and was willing to give her a job.

“Rosalie, I heard others saying that Kayden was the one who gave you the yellow roses last time. Is it true?” Elòdia approached Rosalie with a kind look on her face. She said, “I heard that Kayden is a playboy, so don’t be fooled.”
Rosalie glanced at Elodia with an indifferent look. She didn’t believe that Elodia sincerely cared about her. Elodia was probably trying to find out whether Rosalie was dating Kayden or not.
“You don’t have to worry about it,” Rosalie said.
Elodia frowned, feeling like she didn’t get what she came for. Snorting, she went back to her seat.
Rosalie continued working, but her mind was filled with thoughts about Amelia and Aiden. When it was almost time to get off work, her phone finally rang, but it was a call from Carlos.
“Hello, Ms. Leighton. Amelia and her son, Aiden, were indeed taken away by Warren. They are now in the hotel suite where Warren is staying.”
“Can you get them out?” Rosalie asked hurriedly. If Warren had forced Amelia to stay in the suite, then Amelia wouldn’t be able to get out at all.
Or, Warren had forced Aiden to stay, so Amelia was forced to stay in the suite as well.
Various speculations flashed across Rosalie’s mind.
“I’m afraid not. Mr. Youngblood only told me to find out their whereabouts. Ms. Leighton, if you wish for them to leave, I’m afraid that you have to talk to Mr. Youngblood in person,” Carlos replied respectfully.
