Chapter 288 – Ch. 288 Heartless Father
As soon as Kristopher confronted Bossley Zouch, the young man explained the situation that occurred today. He was straightforward without further ado and stated they couldn't find Roxanne.
"Are you sure she's gone?"
"We can't find her, sir. And the phone is off."
"She might have wanted to be alone right now. My daughter tended to go without telling us whenever she craved to be alone. She'll be back in a few days."
"But, sir…"
"Kristopher, isn't it?" Bossley cut in without giving Kris a chance to finish his words. "What makes you think someone wants to kidnap my daughter, let alone intent to hurt her? My daughter barely revealed herself in public, and she wasn't a public figure that loved to show in any media social. My daughter preferred to keep a low profile and go about her daily life normally. No one had any reason to hurt her. Am I right? Unless that someone had bad blood with your master and endangered my daughter, that would be an entirely different story."
What is that supposed to mean? Kris could only grit his teeth to restrain his rage from losing control.
"I hope that was the case. I'm sorry for the late introduction, but I was once a member of Hades."
Bossley's brow furrowed at this. "You were?"
"Well, I was only an outer member, but sometimes I caught a glimpse of you in front of the main headquarters. And now I know that you are the previous Hades master. So I doubt anyone didn't have any evil intent toward the young miss, especially she was once the most wanted Hades successor."
Bossley hid his surprise because he didn't expect anyone to recognize him as Hades. And that too, this man was once an outer member.
"Where is your master? He should be the one looking for his future wife." Bossley knew very well where Declan was now. And he knew the disappearance of his eldest daughter must be because of his past archenemy.
Tsk. He had been trying to hide his daughters from that 'man' all these years. But in the end, that person managed to find them.
Was that person still not satisfied after witnessing his life's crumble after accepting his youngest daughter's departure?
Even though Roxy was currently in Dario's hands… that man wouldn't kill his daughter right away. He was sure that Roxy was still alive and safe for the time being.
Nevertheless, Bossley hid all the anxiety, hatred, and worry for his eldest daughter behind his perfect calm demeanor.
"Master is in Montana, and we can't reach him due to a strange signal restriction."
Bossley knew who caused it.
"I've used everything at our disposal to track down the lady's whereabouts, but… we're at a stalemate."
"If you guys can't find her, why do you think I can find her?"
Kristopher's jaw hardened hearing this. Is this man deaf? His beloved daughter went missing, but that older man did not seem panicked or worried. In fact, the man looked relaxed, as if his daughter's existence didn't matter at all.
"Sir," Kristopher tried to contain his frustration and anger and continued to be patient. "This is your daughter. Aren't you worried about her? Even though you can't do much at the moment because many eyes are watching you, I'm sure you still have something inside your sleeve."
"She'll be fine. I'm sure she is safe and will be back in a few days."
"Why are you so sure?" Kris did not understand what kind of reaction Mr. Zouch had given at the moment.
What kind of father doesn't think about his daughter's safety and instead sits casually as if enjoying tea in the morning?
"Rather than that, I have a quick question for you. Is there by any chance your master is not Mr. Old Black's birth son?"
"…" why did this man ask about his master. Is he allowed to tell him? After all, Declan's background wasn't a secret. "Yes, sir. Mr. Old Black adopted my master when he was seven."
Kristopher couldn't read Bossley Zouch's mind because of his unchanging expression.
"Once you managed to contact your master, have him come to see me."
"Sir?"
Kris' mouth was wide open, and he couldn't believe what was happening right now. Bossley turned and walked over to his balcony and looked up at the sky as if he was enjoying the beautiful moon view.
What was that man thinking? Was the man not worried about his daughter at all? Even Kris himself, who has no relationship with Roxy, was distraught and kept praying for the girl's safety.
But the girl's own father was not worried and did not provide him any assistance in tracking down his daughter. Instead of trying to find his missing daughter, that older man asked Declan's background!
What is in the mind of this former Hades?
Hades was known as fearless, ruthless, and heartless toward anything that brought harm to his loved one. But Kris never expected this Hades would be atrocious for his only daughter too.
Having no other choice, Kris had to tell the truth. Bossley Zouch was truly a heartless father if the man still didn't react after hearing this news.
"There's something you need to know. We found the last railroad Miss Zouch was and the vehicle she was in. She crashed her car into the railing of the bridge and plunged into the sea. The car was transported and found Miss Zouch's belongings in it, but we couldn't find miss."
As he feared. No further reaction from the older man.
What a heartless father.
Feeling unable to contain his anger, Kris walked out of the house. He could only wait for Declan's arrival, considering his master had booked a plane ticket tomorrow evening. And if Declan hadn't come back tomorrow, he would have followed the man himself and gone to Montana.
Little did he know, the heartless father he believed was now clutching his chest as if he was in pain.
"Roxy, my dear Roxy. Why do you have to be tied to that man's son?"
A tear fell from the corner of his eye.. The famous Bossley Zouch, who had never shed a tear, was now breaking down.
