Anning: "She might not have seen it. Thunder, tell Joyce quickly."
Thunder: "Liao Qian sent Joyce a call, I'll call him right away."
Half an hour passed, and Joyce was going crazy with worry because she couldn't find Rabeel. The royal guards found many fugitives hiding in the abandoned Newts building, rescued many fallen girls from the hotel, and cracked down on many black market merchants smuggling and trading on the black ship, but they still couldn't find Rabeel.
The Star Eye System reported that neither Cherry Country nor Northern Patriotic Country had any trace of Rabeel, and they were applying to search Mount Mousse and the Courtyard. Joyce was cursing the bodyguard company and the royal guard for being useless by the Tam River when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar foreign number.
Lucy: "Joyce, it must be news about Rabelle, answer it quickly..."
Joyce sensed something was wrong and answered shakily, "Hello..."
Thunder: "Is it Marquis Joyce?"
Joyce's trembling hands almost dropped her phone, and she hurriedly replied, "This is Joyce."
Lei Ting said smugly, "Your daughter is in my hands..."
Joyce shouted frantically, "You bastard, if you dare touch her, I'll make you suffer! Where is my daughter? Where is she…"
Thunder: "What are you yelling about? We're in the courtyard..."
Before Thunder could finish speaking, Joyce hung up the phone, leaving Thunder completely bewildered. Joyce and Lucy, based on Thunder's statement that his daughter was in their hands, confirmed that Rabelle had been kidnapped and was in a courtyard not far from them. No wonder the Star Eye system hadn't detected any information about Rabelle. Joyce immediately requested military protection, and several cannons, swaying in the air, arrived at the courtyard gate.
Thunder: "Joyce called me an idiot and made me die a horrible death before hanging up."
An Ning: "Huh? Why?"
Leila: "They're probably worried because they can't find their child. Noah, Rabelle's parents are here to pick her up. Let's take her to the door."
Leila called Noah and Rabelle downstairs. Noah was very reluctant to see Rabelle leave.
Noah: "Rabelle, I'm so happy today, and I really don't want you to leave."
Rabelle: "Me too. Come on, let me introduce you to my dad."
Noah: "Okay."
Noah and Rabelle walked hand in hand in front, with the three adults following behind. Before they even reached the gate, the royal guards, with bright white lights and guns, entered the courtyard. At the same time, several red lines were placed in front of them. Thunder realized something was wrong and immediately shielded Anning behind him. Anning picked up Rabelle, and Leila picked up Noah. What was going on? Why were there so many guns in the courtyard?
Thunder: "What? This is the best courtyard in New Jin Security, how could someone bring a gun in?"
As Thunder opened his eyes in confusion, he saw several cannons aimed at them. Joyce pointed a gun at him and shouted. Several beams of white light blinded Thunder. Thunder tried to go over and talk to Joyce, but Joyce shouted back at him, not recognizing Thunder at all.
Joyce: "Stop right there! You're surrounded! Where's my daughter? Where's Rabelle?"
When Rabelle heard Joyce's voice, she covered her eyes and cried out for her father. When Joyce heard Rabelle's voice, he pointed his gun at Thunder and Intimidation.
Rabelle: "Daddy."
Joyce: "Rabelle, don't be afraid, Daddy's here to save you. Let my daughter go, and I'll spare your life."
Thunder: "What? You're treating us like kidnappers? Joyce, that's me, Thunder, Liao Qian's brother."
Joyce: "What?"
Anning: "Lucy, it's me, Anning. We're not kidnappers."
Lucy: "It's Anning, put the gun down."
Lucy saw Anning and waved for the royal guards to lower their guns and retreat. Lucy and Joyce ran to the three of them. The royal guards put away their guns, and the red glow on them disappeared. The royal guards then removed their cannons and left. Thunder breathed a sigh of relief; it was the first time he had seen cannons so close. Joyce clung to Rabelle, thankfully it wasn't a kidnapping.
Joyce: "Rabelle, my darling, where have you been? Your mom and dad are so worried!"
Rabelle: "Mom and Dad, Aunt Anning brought me to visit her home."
Lucy: "You scared Mommy to death! Mommy thought you'd been kidnapped."
Rabelle: "Mom, I met Noah, and Aunt Leila made me red wine steak."
Lucy: "Lyra's here too, oh my god, thank goodness Rabelle ran into you guys, you scared me to death."
Lyra: "Lucy, didn't you bring your phone? I sent you a message."
Lucy: "I really didn't have my phone. It was a misunderstanding. I thought the person on the other end of the phone was saying that your daughter was in my hands and was a kidnapper. Joyce and I are coming soon with the guards."
Anning: "It was Leiting's Fengtian English that caused the misunderstanding. I'm sorry, Lucy. We should have told you, but I didn't because you were so engrossed in your kiss."
Lucy: "It's okay, I'll never let Rabelle play by herself again."
Joyce: "You scared me to death, my baby, you scared me to death, you can't go with strangers, you can't leave Mommy and Daddy's sight."
Rabelle: "I've already finished a bowl of ice cream and you and Mom still haven't noticed I'm missing. You don't care about me at all."
Thunder: "Your parents really care about you, giving you cannons and guns. I dare not secretly bring them to you again."
Noah: "With me protecting Rabelle, I won't let anyone bully him."
Joyce looked at Noah, who was speaking, and his male intuition made him hug Rabelle tightly. Sure enough, Rabelle began to introduce Noah to him.
Rabelle: "Dad, this is my friend Noah. Noah, this is my dad."
