Ch. 581..585: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 581-585

Chapter 581

The man dressed in the gray overcoat was tall, handsome, and looked put together. He gave off an air of sophistication and virtue.

When he entered the room, everyone felt an air of authority around him. It made people tread carefully in his presence.

Jonathan paused for a moment after hearing the assistant’s question. His eyes glanced at the poster of Maurice hanging outside of the airport.

“I wonder… is that Maurice?” he murmured bitterly to himself. His stoic face was laced with bitterness.

“Mr. Bowman?” the assistant addressed him tentatively.

Jonathan still hadn’t responded.

He looked away from the poster before replying, “That’s not necessary. Ask her to come and see me face to face.”

“But…” The assistant seemed hesitant and embarrassed to continue. “Miss Pierce hasn’t been in contact with us for some time. I’m worried that…” he finally said after a few moments of hesitation.

Jonathan’s brows furrowed at his words. “Find a way to make it happen! Also, we need to watch Maurice now that we’ve lost contact with Eliana. Since he once took Eliana away and imprisoned her for some time, I’m going to bet he’ll prevent me from seeing her. He’s a dangerous man.”

“I understand, Mr. Bowman.”

The assistant had no choice but to do as Jonathan wished.

After that, they didn’t speak another word.

In his head, Jonathan was muttering curses as he gazed at the strange city sprawling in front of him.

Now that he was back, he believed that there was nowhere for Eliana to run away this time.

The morning after that, Eliana woke up early to bring the children to school.

While Eliana was freshening up, Adrian entered the bathroom. Dark circles were visible underneath his eyes.

“Adrian, what were you doing last night?” Eliana asked as she took in his sleep deprived state. “Did you have trouble sleeping?”

Adrian couldn’t tell her why he didn’t get much sleep last night. The truth was, he was waiting for Jonathan’s reply. He stammered, “I’m fine, Mommy. I…I had a nightmare last night.”

Eliana believed him and didn’t push further. She packed up their belongings and brought them to the kindergarten.

Adrian was silent on the drive there. His mind was far away even while he was in class.

Aileen could tell that her brother was acting strange. “Adrian, is something wrong?” she asked tentatively. “You’ve been acting weird since you woke up this morning,” she continued.

“Aileen…”

Adrian wanted to confess to his sister that he contacted Jonathan. However, he suddenly remembered that his sister was fond of Maurice.

Aileen would be furious with him when she discovered he had texted Jonathan behind her back and asked Jonathan to take Maurice away from them.

He hesitated as he tried to figure out how to explain himself.

“Aileen, are you sure you like Silas’ uncle?” he finally asked.

“Are you talking about Mr. Moran?” Aileen’s eyes lit up at the mention of Maurice. “Of course! I like him a lot,” she exclaimed without hesitation.

“Why? What’s so great about him?” Adrian probed.

“He’s a handsome man, and he’s always been nice to me. He even gave me a hug and gifted me flowers.”

Aileen counted all the kind gestures Maurice had done for her on her little fingers.

Adrian interrupted her and asked, “Isn’t Mr. Bowman also an attractive man who treated you well? Don’t you like him?”

Aileen was surprised to hear her brother mention Jonathan. Her eyes dropped to the floor as she thought about his question. After a few moments, she responded, “It’s not that I don’t like Mr. Bowman. He’s also a good man. Mommy doesn’t seem to like him, though. I think she prefers Mr. Moran to Mr. Bowman. I like whoever Mommy likes!”

Adrian was taken aback by her words. He couldn’t deny the truth in her words. There was nothing else he could do but sigh in frustration.

It was Jonathan’s fault that he failed to win their mother’s heart!

Eliana rushed to the factory after dropping the twins at school.

Little did she know someone was following her.

As she was about to enter the factory, a crowd appeared out of nowhere and blocked her path.

When Eliana noticed the large group of men dressed in all black blocking her way, her heart lurched in her chest. She held her breath in fear.

Eliana was terrified by the familiar scene.

Damn it! Someone was trying to kidnap her again!

Chapter 582

Eliana had been kidnapped before, and she wasn’t going to let that happen to her a second time. She quickly turned around and ran away.

What she didn’t know was that these men had been sent by Jonathan to find her.

They did not expect that Eliana would be on her toes. Before they could say anything, she had turned around and was running as fast as she could. They had to hurry up to catch up with her.

Seeing that these men were running after her, Eliana was even surer that they were here to kidnap her.

Her past kidnapping experiences had made her smart.

She always had a few self-defense items on her.

When some men were about to catch up with her, she took out a pepper spray from her bag and sprayed it crazily into their eyes. The men were caught off guard and many of them fell to the ground because of the pain of the pepper in their eyes.

Eliana shouted for help as she ran into the factory.

“Help! Help me! Someone is trying to kidnap me!”

Her cry for help immediately alerted some workers in the factory and they all ran out. They were stunned to see a group of men in black chasing after Eliana.

“Miss Pierce!” Brevard was the first to rush over. He stood in front of Eliana and shouted at the men chasing after her, “Who on earth are you?”

When the men in black saw that the people coming out of the factory to protect Eliana vastly outnumbered them, they had no choice but to retreat for the time being.

It wasn’t until the men had retreated that Brevard heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat on his head and asked with concern, “Miss Pierce, who were those people? What did they want from you?”

Eliana was just as confused as anyone was.

To the best of her knowledge, she kept a low-profile recently. Who could want to harm her?

Eliana tried to think of anyone who might have a grudge against her.

Her face suddenly darkened. There were so many people who could want to kidnap her! She couldn’t tell which one of them had sent these men.

After a while, she looked at Brevard and said nervously, I really have no idea who sent them here. It’s probably someone who hates me for some reason.”

Brevard was speechless. He couldn’t help asking, “Miss Pierce, why would someone hate you?”

Eliana could only answer with a wry smile, “To be honest, I have a lot of enemies. However, I can’t say why they hate me!”

Seeing that she didn’t look well, Brevard asked no more. However, he was a little worried.

He visited Hodge in hospital yesterday and asked the nurse who attended to Hodge how Hodge got to the hospital. He also heard rumors.

From what he heard, Hodge had been sent to the hospital because of Eliana.

Moreover, there was once a conflict between Hodge’s son and Eliana. The whole hospital knew about this.

Brevard was lost in thought. Seeing him absent-minded, Eliana thought that he was worried about her, and she was deeply moved.

“Mr. Wallace, I’m fine. You know, the cops have been doing a terrible job recently, and there are more hooligans in our streets. Those men were probably just young thugs. They surely wanted to kidnap me and ask for a ransom.” she said, hoping that Brevard would stop worrying about her.

“Well… Maybe you are right!”

Although Brevard said so, he didn’t seem reassured at all.

In fact, it wasn’t that he cared so much about Eliana. He was just worried that he and the people in the factory might be injured because of her, just like Hodge.

Outside the factory, Jonathan’s men didn’t leave. They hid not far away and observed the factory.

They did not dare to act in a rash. After all, there were too many people in the factory. If they acted rashly, they might leave clues that could incriminate them later. It would be difficult to deal with that.

Rutherford Schneider, the leader of the men in black, saw that storming the factory was not an option at all. So he pulled out his cell phone and called Jonathan.

“Mr. Bowman, we have found Eliana, but there are many people around her now, so we can’t get close to her. What should we do now?”

Jonathan’s calm voice came from the other end of the line.

“Since you can’t get her, go get her two children and bring them back. Eliana cares the most about her children and I miss them too…”

There was something in Jonathan’s gentle tone that made Rutherford feel a chill.

“Alright, Mr. Bowman. We shall complete the task.”

Rutherford was but a pawn in the eyes of these mighty men. He didn’t care about anything other than getting his job done.

Chapter 583

It was already time for the children to leave the kindergarten.

Standing at the gate of the kindergarten, Adrian and Aileen waited for Eliana to come pick them up.

But today, something unusual happened. Two strange men suddenly appeared at the gate of the kindergarten. They looked around the kindergarten as if looking for someone.

The teacher quickly noticed these men and walked over. “Hello, who are you?” she asked.

“We are here to pick up Aileen and Adrian,” one of the men answered.

Just as they said so, they saw Aileen and Adrian standing not far away. Without another word, they walked straight towards the two children.

“Hello, children. I’m an employee of your mother, Miss Pierce. She had something important to do today and couldn’t pick you up. So she asked us to pick you up.”

The two men smiled kindly at the two children.

Aileen and Adrian looked at each other and immediately became alert.

“Sir, my sister and I don’t know you. We can’t go with you. We will wait for our mommy to pick us up,” Adrian said firmly while pulling Aileen behind him.

“Yes, Mommy said that we should never go with strangers,” Aileen replied, hiding behind her brother. She stared vigilantly at the strange men in front of her.

“Gentlemen, I’m sorry, we can’t let anyone pick up children here unless their parents come in person.”

The teacher had just walked over and stood in front of the children.

However, despite what the teacher said, the two men still didn’t want to give up. The situation persisted for a while.

Soon, the noise at the gate attracted the attention of Silas.

He had already gotten into the car and the driver was about to start the car when he saw the altercation at the gate of the kindergarten. Realizing that something was wrong, he turned back at once.

“Aileen, Adrian, what’s wrong?” Silas asked as he walked over.

“These two people insist that they know our mommy and want us to go with them. We don’t want to go with them!”

Aileen stepped forward and told Silas what was going on.

Silas stared at the two nervous men in front of him. He had a bad feeling.

“Who the hell are you? Either you tell me or I call Miss Pierce to ask her directly,” Silas said firmly.

Hearing that, the men were speechless. What could they say now?

“You guys seem up to no good! Miss, call the police quickly! We’ll have them arrested!” Silas ordered the teacher at once.

Seeing that the matter was getting out of hand, the two men looked at each other with a fierce look on their faces.

When the teacher was not noticing, they opened the gate of the kindergarten.

At this time, there were many children waiting at the door. The children ran out excitedly. Teachers and security guards struggled to stop the children, while parents waiting outside were eager to find their children. The scene was a total chaos for a moment.

The men in black took advantage of the chaos to grab Aileen and Adrian.

However, the moment the door was opened, Silas instinctively held the hands of Aileen and Adrian. No matter how hard the two men tried to pull the kids, Silas didn’t let go of them.

Seeing that Silas wouldn’t let go, one of the men cursed in his heart and said, “Damn it! Well, we’ll take the three of them.”

The two men picked up the three children at once. With their hands covering the kids’ mouths, they rushed out.

Unfortunately, Silas’ bodyguards were all in the car now. It was a real chaos at the gate of the kindergarten. The bodyguards were also blocked outside by the crowd and could only watch as the three children were taken away.

Rutherford’s car was parked not far away, and he was waiting for his men and the kids. The men rushed to Rutherford’s car and jumped into it. Within seconds, the car was gone.

Serendipitously, Earle came to pick up his great-grandson today on a whim and also wanted to take the opportunity to see Aileen and Adrian.

His motorcade arrived at the gate of the kindergarten exactly when the men were abducting the three children, and they witnessed the whole scene.

Who was so bold as to abduct his great-grandnson, especially in broad daylight?

Earle initially panicked and shouted to his men, “Hurry up! Catch up with the car in front of us!”

The driver also realized the seriousness of the matter and pressed hard on the accelerator.

Meanwhile, the two men who had just abducted the three children didn’t dare to do anything to them.

After all, the twins were the children of the woman their boss loved. These men didn’t dare to harm the kids.

After carefully fastening their seatbelts, Rutherford threatened the kids in a low voice. “Be obedient. Nothing will happen if you don’t make a fuss, got it?”

Silas’ face was pale with fear. However, he still didn’t let go of the hands of Aileen and Adrian. He reassured them in a low voice, “We will be fine. Don’t be afraid…”

Fortunately, although Aileen and Adrian initially panicked, they quickly calmed down.

As the elder, Silas forced himself to be tough, so he could protect the Aileen and Adrian.

He stared at Jonathan’s men and snapped, “Do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap me? My family won’t let you go if they know it!”

Jonathan’s men burst into laughter when they heard Silas’ words.

They had been hired by the CEO of the Universe Group. How could they be afraid of a kid’s threats?

Rutherford muffled his laughter and said casually, “Little brat, you are so arrogant. Tell me, which family are you from?”

“The Moran family!”

As soon as those three words came out of Silas’ mouth, a heavy silence fell in the car.

Chapter 584

After Silas mentioned that he came from the Moran family, the car suddenly halted.

Earle’s cars were chasing after them.

The driver was alarmed by what Silas said and anxiously looked back at the vehicles following them.

The Moran family was famous in the local area. If he offended the family, he would meet a terrible end.

Rutherford could tell that the driver was having second thoughts. He threatened, “What’s the matter? Are you afraid? Does the Moran family scare you? How about Mr. Bowman? Aren’t you afraid of him?”

The driver trembled at the thought of what Jonathan could do to him.

He couldn’t afford to offend either of those people!

Another man reasoned, “Besides, what the child said might not be true. As far as I know, Maurice doesn’t have a son.”

Mr. Bowman! Jonathan!

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to Adrian. “Are you referring to Jonathan Bowman?” he blurted out.

Rutherford ruffled Adrian’s hair with a slight smile on his face. In an ominous voice, he said, “Good boy. You’re right. I thought you would be happy to hear the news. I know you’ve missed Mr. Bowman.”

Jonathan was behind all of this!

Adrian’s eyes filled with tears at his words. Realization dawned on him.

Adrian blamed himself for what happened.

If he hadn’t texted Jonathan, they wouldn’t have gotten caught!

He didn’t expect Jonathan to go after him and his sister. Now even Silas was in danger.

If they went missing, Eliana would be worried!

Rutherford was still ruffling Adrian’s hair. Adrian felt nauseous. He made up his mind at that moment. Suddenly, he bit Rutherford firmly without hesitation.

“Ouch!”

Adrian latched onto Rutherford as hard as he could. Rutherford immediately withdrew his hand as he howled in pain.

“You brat!”

Rutherford rubbed his hand and glared at Adrian.

He was a man who was skilled at dealing with people from all works of life. Never in his life had he ever been hurt by a child. Anger simmered inside of him.

He lifted his hand and was about to lash out at the child when someone yelled, “Adrian!”

Aileen was about to pounce on Rutherford, but Silas got to him faster and bumped his head against Rutherford.

The movement came from nowhere, and Rutherford didn’t have time to dodge. His head spun, and his vision blurred.

“Damn it!”

Rutherford was infuriated. He was so furious that he turned his head towards the weakest child, which was Aileen.

As he was about to slap her, the car suddenly stopped.

Rutherford lost his balance and lurched forward. After that, Adrian and Silas held Aileen away from him.

“What the hell is going on?”

Rutherford raised his head with a murderous expression on his face.

“Shit! Rutherford, they’re coming after us!” The driver scrambled to start the car.

He wanted to drive the car away, but there was nowhere for them to go.

Their car was surrounded by Earle’s cars.

When Rutherford’s car halted, Earle stepped out of his Rolls-Royce and approached. There was an air of authority in him, and his eyes were fierce.

He slammed his cane against the window and shouted, “Open the door! Now!”

Silas was filled with hope when he saw Earle.

“You see that man out there? He’s my great-grandfather! There’s nowhere for you to go! Let us go now!”

As Rutherford gazed at the vehicles surrounding them, he realized that the child must have been telling the truth. Silas was a member of the Moran family!

“Rutherford… We’re… What should we do?”

The driver was so terrified that he couldn’t form coherent sentences.

Rutherford’s brows furrowed as he thought of a way to maneuver out of this sticky situation.

He earned a living by doing illegal things, and he couldn’t afford to get caught by the Moran family.

When the two sides reached a stalemate, Adrian spoke up. “I advise you to think about what you’ll do next. Jonathan even wanted to kidnap children. I don’t think he cares about his men. If you got caught, do you think he would go out of his way to save you?”

The expression on Rutherford’s face changed.

Silas immediately understood what Adrian was trying to do. He was trying to get Rutherford to turn against Jonathan. “The best thing for you to do is to let us go. If you let us leave the car, I can persuade my great-grandfather to let you go.”

Rutherford gazed out the window and knew he couldn’t take the twins today.

Silas had provided him with a way to escape.

Rutherford suddenly looked down at the three children inside the car and came to a conclusion. The best thing for him was to let them go and attempt to run away.

However, he wasn’t sure if his plan would work.

He didn’t think the Moran family would let him go without paying the consequences.

Chapter 585

At this time, Rutherford changed his mind. He came up with a better way to escape.

He suddenly grabbed Silas, turned to Earle, and threatened, “I will only give you the children back if you ask your men to back away immediately.”

When Earle saw Silas’ pale face, he felt distressed.

“Okay, I can do that.”

Earle turned to his bodyguards and nodded, hinting at them to follow Rutherford’s demand. The bodyguards all stepped back at once.

The next second, Rutherford opened the car door and threw Silas out.

Earle was the nearest to the car. So when he saw Silas, he immediately threw his walking stick away, rushed forward, and caught Silas.

But at this moment, Rutherford also ruthlessly threw Adrian and Aileen out of the car.

“Ahhh!” the kids screamed in unison.

But Earle was not a coward. He first caught Aileen, the most frightened one, and immediately held her in his arms. Then he didn’t forget to protect the two boys too.

Earle was old, but he was still strong. And perhaps because of the adrenaline rush, he saved the three children at one time.

Looking at the three children all safe and sound in his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Moran, it’s you!” Aileen shouted excitedly upon seeing Earle’s face clearly.

Earle smiled kindly at the three children and asked, “Are you all right?”

The three children shook their heads altogether.

At this moment, Rutherford and his men took advantage of the situation when Earle was not paying attention. They started the car, crashed into a luxury car ahead, and rushed forward.

As the two cars collided, there was an ear-splitting sound. It was so loud that it even resounded through the sky. And the fire instantly ignited.

“Ahhh!” Aileen screamed in horror.

“Aileen!” Adrian and Silas called out in unison.

The loud crash startled Aileen, so Adrian and Silas immediately stretched out their hands and covered her ears.

Although Aileen was terrified, she instinctively reached out and covered Earle’s ears.

For a moment, the scene looked unusually harmonious.

Since Earle was holding the three children in his arms, he didn’t move at all. Their safety mattered more to him than the small explosion.

But Aileen’s soft hands suddenly covered his ears, and she said sweetly, “Mr. Moran, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid…”

Earle looked down at her and saw that her cute little face was full of worries. He thought that his heart was already as hard as steel. But at this moment, he felt that it had melted.

Rutherford escaped with his companions in their car, but no one was in the mood to care about them at this time.

Aleck and the bodyguards worriedly ran towards Earle one after another.

They all knew that he had a weak heart. If anything happened to him, none of them could be held responsible for it.

“Mr. Moran, are you alright?” Aleck was the first to rush over and asked Earle.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Check on the three children. They are more important.”

After saying this, Earle gently put down Aileen. Then he reached out and touched the heads of Silas and Adrian. He picked up his walking stick on the ground, looking energetic.

“Mr. Moran, come with me and take your medicine first,” Aleck urged, still a little scared.

At first, Earle hesitated. But finally, he compromised and walked towards the car with Aleck. But after taking a few steps, he looked back and smiled at the children.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

The three children felt relieved when they saw his smile.

When Adrian recalled how Earle had rescued them valiantly just now, he couldn’t help praising, “Silas, your great-grandfather is awesome! When he knocked on the bad guy’s car window just now, he looked like a superhero. He was so handsome!”

“Yes, that’s right! Your great-grandpa is so cool.”

This time, Aileen agreed with Adrian, which was rare to happen.

Silas was still agitated. But when he heard their praises, he was in a good mood. He felt proud of having such a brave great-grandfather.

But then, something suddenly happened. After taking a few steps forward, Earle clutched his chest. His heart was suddenly cramped. He was in so much pain that he trembled all over.

Aleck immediately supported Earle’s arm and said worriedly, “Mr. Moran!”

But Earle broke away from Aleck’s grip and shook his head. The children were looking at him. He couldn’t let them worry about him.

For the children not to notice that he was not feeling well, he endured the pain and waved his walking stick to the three children behind him.

But Silas was very keen. He immediately noticed that something was wrong with Aleck’s expression. Something must be wrong with Earle.

He could tell that Earle was weak and only pretending to be alright. The expression on his face greatly changed as he shouted, “Great-grandpa, stop!”

Earle’s pain became more and more unbearable. His eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground in a coma.
