Chapter 192 Bounty For The Birth Mother
“Weren’t you the one who told me to come home?” Benjamin said as he scrutinized his father.
Anger surged within Darius as he stared back at his son.
“I didn’t know you were that obedient. Get out there and look for my precious grandson! You’re dead meat if anything happens to him! Do you shun him because he’s not Danna’s biological son? I’m telling you, if you don’t love him, I’ll take him in and treat him like my own!”
After Darius told him off, Benjamin pinched his temple. He felt a headache coming.
“He’s with his biological mother!”
“What did you just say?”
Darius was confused by the sudden revelation.
My grandson was abducted by traffickers, wasn’t he? What do you mean he’s with his biological mother right now?
“Are you saying that Gavin is safe? If so, where is he? Why didn’t you bring him home? He’s going to be in a state of shock.”
Benjamin stared at his father. He knew Darius would not be able to go to sleep without an answer.
“He’s safe, but I’m not quite sure where he is. I’m still looking for them!”
His words carried a hint of resignation and helplessness. It was not that he refused to bring them home. He simply could not find them.
Darius furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He found Benjamin’s statement questionable.
“Don’t tell me that you lied to me about him being with his biological mother just because you couldn’t find him.”
Sensing that Darius was about to blow up, Benjamin quickly explained, “I’m serious. His birth mother took him away! He’s perfectly safe!”
Darius froze. Didn’t the news reports say Gavin was abducted by traffickers?
He frowned while Benjamin remained calm. “You mean the lady mentioned on the news isn’t a trafficker, but Gavin’s birth mother?”
“Who told you she’s a trafficker?”
Benjamin’s face fell. He disliked the derogatory term used to describe Arissa.
“The news said that she kidnapped my precious grandson. What is she if not a trafficker?”
Darius snapped angrily at Benjamin, “Since she’s the birth mother, then why did you put up a bounty for their return? Are you out of your mind?”
Benjamin gave his father the side-eye.
“If I hadn’t done that, do you think I’d be able to locate them? They’re deliberately hiding from me!”
Darius glared back at him. “Well, why are they hiding from you? Why did she take Gavin away?”
Benjamin would like some answers too.
He had been taking care of Gavin since he was a baby. Yet, the boy switched sides and was currently hiding from him.
Where could she possibly hide with five kids in tow? Could this woman have devised a plan from the very beginning to steal Gavin from me? That explains why she approached me back then.
At that thought, rage flared up within him.
“Just go to bed, Dad. I promise you, I’ll get your precious grandson home, safe and sound. Don’t worry.”
With that, Benjamin got up and walked out.
“Where are you going? We’re not done here!”
Darius was fuming mad. It was bad enough that Benjamin only told him half of the story before he hung up on Darius. This rascal is showing way too much defiance toward me. Is he already beyond my control now that he’s all grown up?
Nevertheless, Darius had known Benjamin was a tough nut to crack ever since he was a child.
“What else is there to say?”
Benjamin turned around to look at his father.
Darius’s mouth twitched.
Benjamin’s words infuriated him even more.
“Danna mistreated my grandson. How do you plan to deal with her?”
While Darius treated Danna quite well, he loved Gavin even more. If he had to pick a side, he would of course choose Gavin, not the outsider.
“We will go through the legal process.”
With that, Benjamin turned around and left.
After that, Darius beckoned Edwin over.
“Did you find anything?”
Edwin nodded.
“Just tell me already!” Darius demanded.
“Don’t get too worked up, Old Mr. Graham. You have to mind your health.”
“Cut the crap and spill it! I’m as healthy as a horse!” Darius bellowed as he slammed his walking cane on the floor.
“The reason Mr. Graham ordered his men to capture Danna was because she had ordered someone else to abduct Gavin. Gavin was not the only victim. Several children were abducted as well.”
Darius’s cheeks twitched out of utter rage. “This woman is vile and vicious! What is she planning to do with my grandson?”
Unfortunately, Edwin did not have any information regarding Danna’s true intentions.
“I want updates on this. I want to know what else she’s done. Get someone to monitor the Adams family. Report to me as soon when new information arises. They won’t get away with it so easily!”
Darius was extremely furious about the whole situation.
