Chapter 157
Helen quickly recounted the process of how she found the child. The wrinkles on Alexander’s forehead deepened, “Besides him, did you see anyone else?”
“No, when I found him, Sir Jamie was crying loudly, holding a helium balloon in his hand. Oh, and he kept calling for his mom.”
Mom?
Jamie never called Nora “mom,” so the person he was referring to couldn’t be Nora. It must be Aveline.
Jordan, who had already been sent to search for clues in advance, reported immediately, “Mr. Sterling, I checked the surveillance footage. Sir Jamie was brought back by Ms. Aveline. She intentionally left Sir Jamie on Helen’s way to buy groceries for her to find.”
“Besides her, was there anyone else?”
“No.”
“Keep investigating.”
Alexander became even more puzzled. Could it be true what Nora said, that Aveline deliberately had someone abduct Jamie? But if it was to blackmail him, how could she return the child without making any demands?
Alexander quickly dismissed this idea. The child still had the little jade pendant she sent hanging around
his neck.
She could have harmed Jamie that night, there was no need to specially have someone take him away.
It wasn’t her.
Then why didn’t the person who abducted Jamie harm her and the child?
No matter how much Alexander thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out. He decided to call her and find out the truth.
But when he called, Aveline had already turned off her phone.
Alexander, who was critically ill, sat up in shock. What did Aveline mean by this?

He had someone investigate Aveline’s location, only to find out that she hadn’t returned to her apartment at all. She hadn’t even contacted Maya. Instead, it was discovered that she had just withdrawn a sum of
cash.
Could it be that she was being threatened?
Had she made a secret agreement with someone?
But the amount of cash was only a few hundred thousand at most.
Which kidnapper would demand only a few hundred thousand to kidnap a billionaire’s son?
Compared to paying the kidnapper, Alexander believed more that Aveline wanted to escape.
After all, using mobile payment would easily expose her location, but cash wouldn’t be discovered by
anyone.
She must be planning something.
That damn woman was planning to run away again. He should have chained her up!
Alexander ordered, “Seal off all exits and don’t let her leave!”
He handed the child to Helen, “Take good care of him.”
“Sir, where are you going in your condition?”
Alexander grabbed his coat and rushed out of the door. He coughed softly, “I’m going to bring that woman who doesn’t know her place back!”
Alexander’s face turned pale. He coughed lightly, occasionally pressing his fist against his mouth. As he watched the busy pedestrians outside, he realized from the bank’s surveillance footage of Aveline withdrawing money that she hadn’t been coerced, and she even went to the mall calmly.
Which kidnapper would let someone leisurely go shopping?
And just like Jamie, Aveline seemed to have gained some weight on her face and looked much healthier.
She didn’t seem sickly like before.
Alexander had a strong feeling that she had been living a good life these past few days.
“Mr. Sterling, I’ve already had people search the mall. We’ll find Madam soon, and then you can ask her

any questions you have,”
The cigarette was almost burnt out, only three centimeters away from his fingertips, a very dangerous distance. Alexander’s eyes were calm, just the thought of Aveline wanting to escape again filled him wit
anger,
Go ahead and run, I’ll see where you can run to,
