Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1697

"Tell us what?!" Maria refused to back down. "Why should she? Just because you said so? Do you have any evidence? If my daughter did kidnap your son, show us the evidence!"

"Evidence?" Elijah snorted coldly. "My son, Austin Fike, is the best evidence! He’s recovering from what happened. How can what he said and saw with his own eyes be false? I will not let this slide if you don't hand Rhea over today. It'd be useless even if you try to get Secretary Rollins to help! Nothing will work!"

Before coming over, Elijah had already done all the preparatory work he should have done. The police station reported the case and informed the higher-ups for fear that Cameron would overshadow it.

Although Cameron had always been upright with a good reputation, the incident with the vaccine development project a while ago made everyone question him. On top of that, Elijah was unfamiliar with Cameron, so he had to keep a good hand.

Hearing how Elijah had called out Fabian's trump card, he suddenly realized that things were more challenging than they seemed. The other party probably had done their background work before showing up so unscrupulously.

"Calm down," Fabian said in a relaxed tone, "We're not enemies until we clarify this. You trust your son, and I trust my daughter. Why not let the two meet to talk it out and tell us what happened?"

Upon saying that, he glanced at his wife sideways, signaling her.

Maria understood it right away. Regardless, she needed to inform Rhea about this beforehand so she could prepare herself. After all, it was unknown what the Fikes would do.

"All right! Call Rhea out now!" Elijah had already sent some men to spy on Rhea. When they reported that she had entered the house, he immediately surrounded the place before he came knocking at the door.

At this moment, he was not afraid of not getting a hold of Rhea. He would turn this place upside down if her parents did not willingly hand her over. Elijah was not afraid of her escaping.

Fabian smiled and said, "It's not that we don't want to call her out, but she's not home. That child has always been obsessed with work and hasn't come home for many days. If you don't believe me, ask my wife…"

"Enough talking. Hand Ms. Moore over!"

The duo was getting a little impatient. The couple wished to barge in and pull Rhea out and torture her.

"I told you. Ree isn’t home," Fabian explained patiently.

However, the cold smile on Elijah's face exposed Fabian's lies. "Mr. Moore, there's no use lying here. Frankly speaking, my men saw your daughter return with their own eyes, and we came over immediately. How can you say she's not home? Do you take us as fools?"

"What?! How can I not know whether my daughter is home? I think your men must be hallucinating!" Fabian was in disbelief.
