Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2696

Carrie asked in confusion, “Since you are targeting Mrs. Young-Johnson’s adopted son, why don’t you directly find someone to help you in Annenburg? The distance between Wiltspoon and Annenburg is quite far. Even if she and Serenity are close, they don’t meet often.”

Mr. Longbottom sighed. “That’s the unavoidable part.”

“There was absolutely no trace of Laurence in Annenburg. We only knew that Laurence was the adopted son of Ben and his wife. However, no one outside knew what the child looked like.

“Moreover, Laurence rarely stayed in Annenburg. We did not know where the kid usually hides.

“The Johnsons are protected by the Houstons and are in-laws with the Lafayette family from Meadspring. Plus, Tim’s wife is a disciple of a renowned doctor. I dared not provoke them. Previously, we investigated Laurence’s identity, but Ben found out that someone was looking into Laurence's background.

“After that, we lost all relevant information about Laurence.”

“It was only recently that they got a little information, knowing that Laurence played with Sonny. Both of them were around the same age and were likely playmates.

“That was why I had been trying to approach this through Serenity, to figure a way to get Laurence out.

“A confirmation was needed to make sure the child was the one we had been looking for!

“Also, where was that totem?

“Jane is hailed from the Layafette family in Meadspring. You might not know about the Lafayettes, but they are influential. I can’t casually mess with their adopted grandson.”

The middle-aged man did not mention that he was truly afraid of the elders behind Jane, those mysterious and extraordinary individuals.

He just wanted to take Laurence away!

He would avoid a direct conflict if possible.

Carrie said, “Do you think Serenity doesn’t have backing? She is selective in making friends, considering character and affinity, not just family background. I hate her so much, and I’m afraid that if I see her, I won’t be able to control myself from strangling her. How can I become friends with her?”
