Chapter 1176
Even Serenity had suspicions of foul play.
However, they did not voice their concerns in front of everyone.
“Okay.”
The fun ended too soon for Sonny. He found the aquarium show entertaining, but it was unfortunate that his mother took him out before it concluded.
The York family’s security team formed two rows to clear a path to the Rolls Royce. Zachary carried Sonny in his arms as he walked beside Serenity to the car.
Liberty rode in one of the cars driven by her bodyguard.
Elisa took her brother’s car while a bodyguard drove her vehicle back.
Before long, the two CEOs departed Wiltspoon Zoo, accompanied by their security teams.
Once they left, Jessica let out a sigh of relief.
She feared that everyone might suspect her.
On the way back, Serenity said to Zachary, “Something about today doesn’t sit right with me. I feel like it’s more than just a kidnapping. They created a distraction and kidnapped the children amidst the chaos.
“No one was holding Lucas at that moment, so the kidnappers seized their opportunity to take him. Although my sister was holding Sonny, they attempted to snatch him from her grasp. I believe Sonny has always been their primary target.
“Lucas’s kidnapping might have been a diversion because I had bodyguards with me. They couldn’t act with the bodyguards present, so they abducted Lucas instead. While I’m not particularly fond of Lucas, that doesn’t mean I would stand by and watch him be taken away.
“I sent the bodyguards to rescue Lucas, leaving us without protection. We may be adults, but we are also three defenseless women. The kidnappers would face less resistance if they attempted to take Sonny then.
“This would increase their chances of successfully kidnapping him. Some parents were unable to hold onto their children amid the chaos, and the kids were…”
Wandering about, these individuals did not seem to notice the other children. Serenity didn’t want to overanalyze the situation, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that today’s incident was more significant than it appeared.
Zachary, looking pensive, considered her words before replying, “I understand your concern. I’ll have Josh look into it, but the likelihood of Sonny being the primary target is low.”
He fixed his gaze on Serenity.
She understood his implication. “So, they’re either after you or me?”
Zachary replied in a deep, serious tone, “It’s more probable that they are targeting you. Sonny is your nephew, and you have a close bond because you raised him. It would devastate you if something happened to him.
“Would you go after Sonny if he were taken? Of course, you would. They might use Sonny to lure you into a trap.”
Zachary’s expression grew tense.
Serenity, with her kind heart, rarely upset anyone. The only conflicts she faced were with her relatives, but she doubted the Hunts could orchestrate such a complex scheme.
The only other suspects were Mrs. Newman and her daughter. Ms. Carrie remained in police custody.
Zachary had Mr. Newman and his wife under surveillance while they busied themselves trying to bail out their beloved daughter. Despite their animosity towards Serenity, the couple likely wouldn’t be able to execute such a plan on short notice unless it had been in the works for some time.
However, it had not been long since Serenity and the Newman women had crossed paths.
If Serenity wasn’t the main target, then it seemed these individuals might be using her to get to Zachary.
Zachary leaned toward this latter theory. He was a key player in Wiltspoon, and aside from Clive, many others were careful not to antagonize him, even if they couldn’t associate closely with him.
him.
However, there were still individuals who considered Zachary an eyesore and loathed him.
It was challenging to target Zachary, as he was constantly accompanied by his bodyguards and possessed the ability to protect himself. Additionally, his vehicle was bulletproof. The next best target was the love of his life—Serenity.
