The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276

Just as Sean stepped into the house, Vivian’s car pulled into the underground garage of the lasper estate

The two entered the house one after the other.

In t

the living room, Mrs. Jasper St., James, and Lilian were seated on the sofa, waiting

Sean’s expression was tense as he walked in briskdy. “It was one of Lottie’s friends who called the police. They couldn’t reach her and were worried something had happened. The police only contacted the Riley family to confirm she was missing. Right now, they don’t know she was kidnapped by Joseph Ford. And since it’s only been a few hours, they won’t open a case just yet.”

His voice was calm but cold, and his dark eyes were filled with sharp resolve

“Joseph called. He wants me to go meet him—alone”

“You can’t! Sean, you can’t go alone!” Vivian cut in before he could finish.

H

She had been in a surprisingly good mood ever since learning that Charlotte had been kidnapped by Joseph–even humming on the way home. But the second she heard Sean say he planned to go rescue her by himself, her good mood vanished

Vivian’s face paled as she stepped forward anxiously. “It’s way too dangerous! Joseph isn’t going to let you walk away. Please, just call the police and have them go with you!”

Sean frowned. “We can’t. If Joseph finds out we’ve involved the police, he’ll kill her on the spot.”

“But her friend already reported her missing! The police already know!” Vivian argued.

“I said this already.” Sean snapped, his tone hardening. They only know she’s missing. As long as we coordinate with the Riley family and cell the police she’s been found, it’ll be fine. Then we can come up with a real plan to get her back.”

James leaned forward. “And what’s your plan”

Sean’s voice was like ice. “Joseph’s targeting me, I’ll trade myself for her.”

“You’re out of your mind!” James shot up from the couch.

*No way!”

Vivian shouted

Lilian, still composed, looked at Sean and asked, “Isn’t there mother way?

Vivian’s voice cracked. “But trading your life for hers? That’s insane! How can her life possibly be worth more than yours?” Sean’s gaze turned ice–cold. He looked at her with such force that she froze, the warning in his eyes unmistakable.
