Chapter 99
Dominic turned his head and heard Alessia say, "The road ahead is all rural roads, without surveillance."
Ahead, three roads diverged in three directions. Without surveillance, there was no way to confirm which road the woman took with Elle.
If they chose the wrong road, it would delay the time to rescue Elle. What Elle might encounter during this delay was something neither of them dared to imagine as parents.
The car fell into silence, the atmosphere oppressive. Neither Alessia nor Dominic spoke at this moment.
Suddenly, Dominic took a deep breath and turned the steering wheel to the left.
Alessia closed the computer and looked at Dominic.
Dominic said, "We've come all the way here. If we continue left, we'll head to Niagara escarpment."
Niagara escarpment?
Alessia thought for a moment and quickly reacted, "Sisca?!"
Dominic's expression turned cold and complex. "Continuing straight to Niagara escarpment will pass by Sisca's hometown."
Alessia fell silent. In her mind, Sisca had always been portrayed as wearing dresses, looking like a delicate flower. She hadn't considered the possibility of Sisca's involvement, especially dressed in black.
Now, thanks to Dominic's words, that image merged with Sisca.
Sisca liked Dominic, disliked her, and by extension, disliked Elle as well.
Moreover, Sisca had attended yesterday's show.
She had followed from the show all the way to X Villa.
Sisca had both motive and opportunity.
Alessia's eyes darkened as she took out her phone and contacted Jessie.
"Jessie, have someone check where Sisca has been from last night until now."
On the other end of the phone, Jessie, upon hearing Alessia's words, didn't ask much and went to handle it.
Alessia hung up the phone and looked at Dominic with a serious expression. "If it's really Sisca who kidnapped Elle, what will you do?"
On one side was their daughter, on the other was his friend's sister, who had saved his life.
Dominic glanced at Alessia without answering, instead, he accelerated.
It was already morning.
Two cars stopped in front of a secluded villa in the countryside one after the other.
Sisca got out of the car first. The rear car door then opened, and a man in his fifties got out of the back seat, carrying the unconscious Eleanor.
"Sisca, where do you want to put her?" the man asked.
"Put her in the utility room first." Sisca subconsciously touched her injured head and said with disgust.
This little girl, though young, was more cunning than a fox. Fortunately, she had called her dad early, otherwise, this little girl might have escaped.
"Dear, you're back."
Inside the house, Mrs. Fraser ran out upon hearing the car sound. Seeing Eleanor in Mr. Fraser's arms, she wasn't surprised but rather started gossiping.
"Oh, this is Dominic's illegitimate daughter. She's quite pretty!"
The moment Sisca saw Mrs. Fraser, she became more submissive, nodding gently.
Mrs. Fraser praised Sisca, "After being stupid for so many years, your brain finally seems to be working. If you had used your brain earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Sisca remained silent, letting Mrs. Fraser chatter away.
"After this matter is settled, I hope you can really marry Dominic. When you become Mrs. Carter, send your brother to the Carter Group. Maybe he could become a general manager or something."
"Look at the girl from the neighboring village, Alana. She married a wealthy man and brought the whole family to the big city. But you, you're so afraid we'll lose face in the big city, always just giving a few coins each time."
Sisca couldn't bear it anymore. She bit her lip and exclaimed, discontented. "Mom, twenty thousand a month isn't a small sum. If my brother didn't gamble, it would be enough for you. Besides, Alana's husband could be her father. What's there to envy?"
"You stubborn girl, what if your brother gambles? That's your responsibility. What if you're getting older? Everyone gets old anyway. It's important to get practical benefits. Alright, you were born just to defy me." Mrs. Fraser scolded.
She had been scolded like this since she was a child. Sisca felt dissatisfied, but she dared not speak up.
She was about to go into the house when she saw a car coming towards their home.
And the more she looked at the car, the more familiar it became.
Sisca panicked in her heart and hurriedly said to her father, "Dad, hide her quickly."
Although Mr. Fraser didn't understand what was going on, he didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly carried Eleanor into the house.
When Mr. Fraser came out again, Sisca was gone, only Mrs. Fraser was sitting in the yard. Soon after, he saw a car driving into their yard.
The car door opened, and a man and a woman got out of the car. They were handsome and beautiful, but their faces showed no expression, looking like they were not to be trifled with.
Mr. Fraser quickly guessed the identities of the man and woman. He tensed up and pretended to be unaware, speaking, "Who are you looking for?"
Alessia glanced at the two cars parked in the yard and quickly confirmed that one of them was the car driven by the woman who had kidnapped Elle.
So, the woman who kidnapped Elle was indeed Sisca!
Thinking of Sisca's actions, Alessia didn't mince words and spoke coldly, "I'm looking for Sisca Fraser!"
"Dad, who is looking for me?" Sisca's voice came from inside the house as soon as Alessia spoke, and then Sisca came out.
Sisca was wearing a white gauze nightgown, her black hair hanging down behind her head, looking as if she had just gotten out of bed.
"Dom, Miss La Rosa, why are you here? Are you here to see me?" Sisca pretended to just notice Dominic and Alessia, with a look of pleasant surprise on her face.
They had both come to her door, and Sisca still intended to act.
She wanted to deny it to the death!
Alessia frowned. Before Sisca could speak, Mrs. Fraser had already stepped forward to hold Dominic's hand and asked Sisca, "Sisca, is this Mr. Dominic Carter-your boyfriend? You've been dating for several years, and he never comes to visit."
Dominic's pitch-black eyes flashed with disgust, and he avoided Mrs. Fraser's touch with a cold face.
Dominic's aloof attitude did not dampen Mrs. Fraser's enthusiasm at all. She paused her words for a moment and continued, "Dom, I can't control your young people's affairs. You don't have to have a wedding banquet, but you must get a marriage certificate."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Dom and I don't have the kind of relationship you're talking about!" Sisca blushed and pursed her lips, saying it wasn't true, but her eyes were affectionate as they stayed glued to Dominic.
"What do you mean not that kind of relationship? Can the news be faked every day?" Mrs. Fraser glared at Sisca and laughed, unable to close her mouth. "Dom, although we are from the countryside, Sisca is a good girl. You can't just play around without getting married. Sisca has been set on you for a long time."
"Mom, can you stop talking first? I willingly like Dom." Sisca blushed even more, burying her head lower and complaining softly.
Alessia sneered in her heart. She could see that this mother and daughter pair were putting on an act to force Dominic to acknowledge Sisca's identity.
Mrs. Fraser felt confident in making such a statement to Dominic because she observed that Sisca and Dominic's relationship was more complex than it appeared.
Alessia didn't want to meddle in Dominic's feelings, and when she became impatient, she said directly, "Sisca, if you want to marry Dominic, we can talk about it later. First, hand over my daughter."
Sisca innocently said, "Miss La Rosa, I don't understand what you mean. Isn't your daughter supposed to be at your house? What do you mean by handing her over?"
"Stop pretending, Sisca. I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense. If you don't hand Elle over, I'll find her myself." Alessia bypassed Mr. Fraser and walked inside.
"What are you trying to do? Intruding into private property is against the law!" Mr. Fraser, seeing this, spread his arms and blocked the doorway.
"Against the law? I think kidnapping a child is against the law. I've already called the police. If you hand her over now, it will be considered surrendering yourselves. If we have to find her ourselves, you won't be able to turn back." Alessia said coldly.
When it came to her daughter, she naturally didn't want to let any bad people go.
But the man in front of her was already in his fifties, and he didn't know Elle before. Perhaps he was persuaded by Sisca. She was willing to give him a chance.
Furthermore, it would have been preferable for someone to assist her in retrieving Elle rather than her having to search through the rooms herself.
