Ste''s expression was grim.
She knew this was not the time for rash emotional decisions.
"Let''s go back first," she said in a low voice.
Gideon and Wilbur both breathed a sigh of relief.
Wilbur suggested, "Since there are so many of them, calling for backup would be the safest option. It''s an eight-hour flight from Solmaris to Germany. If we call for people now, they might just make it in time."
Ste shook her head. "There isn''t enough time. They won''t give us that opportunity. Still, it doesn''t hurt to have a backup n."
With that, Ste took out her phone and began making arrangements.
Wilbur looked at her face and hesitated before asking, "Ste, do you have a guess as to who kidnapped Abby?"
"It was most likely Princess Wright," Ste said.
At the mention of Princess Wright, Gideon''s expression shifted.
He said quietly, "Last night, when Ms. Murphy went downstairs to order food for you, Ms. Cameron, she ran into Mr. Noah. It seemed Mr. Noah wanted to invite you to dinner, but Ms. Murphy turned him down. Mr. Noah exined the situation with his ex-girlfriend, Princess Wright, and hoped Ms. Murphy could help exin it to you. But before they could say much, that Princess Wright showed up again, and the look she gave Ms. Murphy was full of hostility."
As a professional bodyguard, Gideon had sharp senses.
He had seen his fair share of spoiled heiresses like Princess Wright.
He could tell at a nce that she was trouble.
Ste stared at the passing scenery outside the car window. "Abby and I ran into Princess Wright yesterday as well. From her conversation with Noah, it''s clear she tries to prevent him from having any contact with other women. Given Noah''s status, it would be difficult to get rid of someone like her without resorting to serious measures. Abby and I have only been in Germany for two days, and this was our first time out. We haven''t offended anyone. Besides Princess Wright, I can''t think of anyone else."
As for the Gibson family, they were destroyed long ago.
Stuart Gibson and his son had been in their graves for years.
"Ms. Cameron, what should we do then?" Gideon asked.
"First, let''s contact Noah," Ste said. "He was with Princess Wright before. He should know where she would take someone she kidnapped."
Germany Airport.
After getting off the ne, Joshua headed straight for the hotel where Ste and Abby were staying.
He had gotten the address from Abby before he left.
Abby knew he wasing to surprise Ste and not only promised to keep it a secret but also told him to call her when he got to the lobby, so she could help him set up something romantic.
Joshua texted Abby as soon as hended.
But Abby never responded.
As he neared the hotel, Joshua saw that Abby still hadn''t replied, so he gave her a
call.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Joshua raised an eyebrow.
Abby knew when he was arriving; it was unlike her not to pick up.
Joshua thought for a moment, then dialed Ste''s number.
However, Ste''s phone also went unanswered.
Joshua''s eyes darkened.
He called Jake. "Find out where Star and Abby are right now."
Ten minutester, Jake called back.
"Mr. Gardner, Ms. Cameron and Abby are currently at the Royal Pcean Germany. ording to my investigation, it seems Abby was kidnapped. Ms. Cameron is with
Noah, attempting a rescue
Jake paused, then continued, "Princess Wright is Noah''s ex-girlfriend. She''s extremely jealous and forbids any woman from getting close to him."
After locating Ste at the pce, Jake had immediately dug up everything he could on Princess Wright.
"A few days ago, the person Aurora saved at the banquet was Princess Wright. The next day, Princess Wright''s brother invited Aurora to a meal to thank her."
While listening to Jake''s report, Joshua said to Harold, "Harold, turn around. We''re going to the Royal Pce."
Harold realized something was wrong. "Mr. Gardner, did something happen to Ms. Cameron?"
On the other end of the line, Jake heard Joshua and quickly added, "Mr. Gardner, its just you and Harold in Germany right now it would be very dangerous to act rashly."
