Chapter 770 Frantic Search

That afternoon, under Arthur's leadership, all Davonnis Corp security and bodyguards were out in force. Arthur looked for every possible hiding place, even every isolated manor house in the vicinity of the city, until the sun fell and the moon rose.

But there was no news.

At night, Eduard, who had heard from Kane, drove to Arthur, who was leading a search for an abandoned factory.

After meeting with Arthur, Eduard asked him about the situation in detail, and after discussing it with him, he offered his opinion.

"Since Spencer has the guts to kidnap Lucia and even imprison Jack and the others, he must have found a hiding place that we didn't think of. Arthur, your search area is probably still too small."

Arthur mused. Eduard's analysis was exactly what he had overlooked in the heat of the moment, so he immediately called Kyle and had him track down all of Spencer's businesses in the country. Even it was thousands of miles away, he was going to find them!

Seeing Arthur lose his composure, Eduard said to him,

"Arthur, you mustn't be anxious at a time like this. You're the sanest and the calmest of us all. You're the only one who can find Lucia. You have to be steady."

"I understand," said Arthur, but the melancholy of his brow lingered, and his words were as heavy as a burden.

Seeing Arthur like this, Eduard was even more worried.

On the other hand, Otis, who was already in USA, arrived at Brown Manor the night Arthur called him. By the time he reached the gate, the moon was already high in the night sky.

This time, Otis had come alone and had no way of contacting Helena in advance, and now he only wanted Esmae to see him.

But it didn't work out that way.

When Otis gave his name to the guard, it only took a minute for the guard to reply.

"Her ladyship says she doesn't want to see you. Please go back."

Otis smiled wryly. He couldn't come today without getting in the front door.

"Please inform again. I'm here about Lucia. I won't tell her anything else."

The guard saw that Otis was well-dressed and distinguished, so he informed her again. This time, his reply finally let Otis breathe a sigh of relief.

"Come in. Madam is waiting for you in the hall."

The guard opened the door for Otis, but as he drove in, the guard spoke again,

"Madame asks you to go in on foot."

On foot? Otis was at a loss for words. The castle in the distance was at least two kilometers from the gate. Was Esmae going to give him a hard time about such a small thing? "Intimidated?" Otis murmured, decisively abandoning his car and walking toward the castle in the distance.

It was the first time Otis had entered Brown Manor, but he wasn't interested in the beautiful view of the front yard. He was moving forward as fast as he could. He knew that Arthur was suffering through every moment that passed.

At last, after some time, Otis stepped up the Brown Manor steps and was guided into the living room by the servants, where he saw Esmae sitting on the sofa.

Otis looked around. There was no one else in the living room but Esmae.

At the sound of footsteps, Esmae turned her head slowly, and her eyes darkened when she saw Otis.

"What brings you here?"

Otis brushed aside Esmae's sarcasm and went straight to the point.

"Lucia and the baby have been taken over by Spencer and are missing. Ms. Wilson, did you know about this?"

Esmae's eyes moved, but in the next second she calmed herself and said, "I know. What's wrong?"

Otis's powers of observation were infallible, and the moment he saw Esmae's eyes change, he knew she had no idea. So he went straight to Esmae, and instead of sitting down, he stood up and said to her, "Aren't you the least bit concerned that Spencer has suddenly taken Lucia and the baby into custody?"

"Concerned?" said Esmae stubbornly. "He's Lucia's fiance and the baby's father. What should I be concerned about?"

"You can not be unaware of what Spencer has done. He has betrayed your entire family. He can not fail to consider the consequences of his broken relationship with you. The imprisonment of Lucia and the baby is his last resort. Lucia and the baby are now in danger. Ms. Wilson, I want you to step in and stop this."

Otis said solemnly to Esmae.

Esmae's heart was heavy with Otis's words, but she would never show them to him as if she didn't care. Esmae said to Otis,

"Davies, who are you to tell me what to do? My relationship with Spencer has nothing to do with you. I let you in because you mentioned Lucia. If all you want to say is what I already know, please go back." "For the sake of the hatred between our two families, can you really ignore the safety of Lucia and the baby?! Isn't that too selfish?" Otis saw that Esmae was acting as if she didn't care about anything. His heart was flustered and his words were no longer gentle.

"Selfish?" Esmae's face darkened at the word, her eyes frosty. She stood up slowly, looked Otis in the eyes, and opened her mouth,

"In what capacity are you calling me selfish? Others may be able to say it, but you, the Davies, are not qualified! The damage your parents did to me is done for the rest of my life, and now you're acting like you care about Lucia. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Once I let it go about Lucia and Arthur, you'll get Helena, won't you?!"

Otis's eyes were cold, and he found Esmae's accusations laughable.

"I know Lucia. She's the woman Arthur loves deeply, and she's the mother of my nephew. Do I have to hide my feelings to care about her? Ms. Wilson, are you thinking too evil of her?"

"It's you, the Davies, who make me think people are so disgusting!" Enraged, Esmae raised her eyebrows and shouted at Otis.

"No matter what reason you have, Lucia is my goddaughter and Spencer's fiancee. This will not change. You have no right to interfere between her and Spencer!"

With Esmae's words, she and Otis won't give in to each other. The atmosphere immediately tensed, and the smell of gunpowder was on the point of burning.
