    Over money. When


    Chloe was a sharp woman. She had noticed the nces from the cashier and the customers


    nearby. She had thought it was due to her recent poprity. but the cashier’s reaction made her


    realize that it was something else. Someone had put her in the spotlight again, but she didn’t know


    why.


    Chloe was certain she hadn’t upset anyone recently. Things had been settling down, and there


    shouldn’t have been this much attention on her. Seeing the cashier’s puzzled expression, Chloe


    asked, “Is there a problem?”


    The cashier shook her head nervously. “No it’s just congrattions on the twins…”


    Chloe looked at the mountain of items in front of her, her eyes deep and thoughtful Elizabeth burst


    outughing. “We’re preparing in advance! Buying everything in pairs for good luck, hoping we can


    have a set of twins in the future!


    The cashier nodded awkwardly I see well may your wishese true!“c2


    Elizabethughed even harder. Definitely definitely our wishes wille truel My son is very


    capable!


    There was a moment of silence, followed by a few suppressed giggles. Chloe had never felt so


    embarrassed, her face turned beet red. She covered her face with her hand, wishing she could


    disappear into the floor


    Elizabeth and Chloe had bought so much, they had to carry it all home Elizabeth was excited,


    talking non-stop about all the baby items Chloe was also drawn into the excitement after all, these


    were things for her child.

    Back home, Elizabeth had a room cleared out for a nursery Elizabeth and Chloe started decorating


    it, having a great time Elizabeth suddenly stood up saying. You keep working on this. I’ll get some


    more stuff and contact an interior designer. If we’re doing a nursery, we need the best cribr


    As soon as Elizabeth left the room, her smile faded. She looked serious and determined.


    Downstairs, Marina approached her, looking worried “Madam “What is it?” Elizabeth asked, her


    expression grave


    There’s been a city–wide ckout, it seems intentional,” Marina said reluctantly “During the ensuing


    traffic chaos, Bryson was shot, and Yasmine was abducted”


    Elizabeth’s heart skipped a beat. “What did you say? Who was taken?”


    Marina looked ufortable. Yasmine she was on her way home when her car was blocked during


    the ckout. She was attacked and kidnapped Bryson is seriously injured. The news is all over the


    TV…”


    Elizabeth massaged her throbbing temples, ncing upstairs. She gripped the railing, feeling weak,


    “Who dares to mess with the Harpers? Marina shook her head. “I don’t know. The media said that


    there’s no record of the kidnapper in any database


    Elizabeth turned on the TV The news was indeed showing the bold abduction. Yasmine was being


    held at gunpoint by a young man and forced into a ck SUV The car stayed there for a few


    minutes before speeding away.


    Elizabeth bit her finger, and her face was clouded with worry. “Cut off our inte connection so


    Chloe won’t find out about this. She’s pregnant, we can’t let her get stressed and risk the baby…


    Marina nodded “Don’t worry, madam, I’ll arrange it.”


    Elizabeth dialed Royce’s number “Honey.”


    Her voice, usually cheerful and carefree when talking to Royce, was now serious “I saw the news.


    I’ve informed Damon. Let him handle it


    Years of being together allowed Royce to understand Elizabeth’s unspoken words. His words


    brought tears to Elizabeths eyes
