Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Chapter 797

"Rose, didn't you already make plans to leave after divorcing Theo? Yet, you haven't left even after so long. So much has happened, and things are a mess right now. I think you should leave this country for a breather." "Mom, how do you expect me to leave at this point?"

"Why not? If you're worried about Grandma, don't. Your dad and I will take good care of her. As for Theo, he doesn't even dare appear before Grandma right now, and she doesn't recognize him at all." "But Mom..."

"Rose," Sydney said, cutting her off again. "I'll update you in real-time about Grandma's condition. If anything happens, I'll definitely call you back immediately. This place is very unsafe, and your abductor is still on the loose. What if he comes back and kidnaps you again? It's better for you to stay in another country for a period of time. You're not all by yourself now. You have a baby."

"But I promised Grandma that she'd be the first person I show my baby to once he's born!"

"Grandma no longer remembers that. If you suddenly show her a baby, she wouldn't remember, either. Rose, don't be stubborn, alright? Leave and take a breather. I'll settle everything back home. I also hope you'll pursue further studies while you're overseas." "Further studies?"

"Yes, your specialization in finance. I hope you'll pursue that while you're overseas. Rose, it's time to work on yourself. Go out and see the world. Don't worry at all about Grandma back at home."

Sebastian sat in the car, waiting patiently. As the minutes ticked by, however, his patience slowly ebbed.

He started feeling uneasy.

What exactly was Sydney telling Rosalie? Was she talking bad about him?

That woman was a smooth-talker who promised the stars, but heaven knows whether she would do something else altogether the moment she turned the other way.

None of the Spencers were trustworthy.

Just as Sebastian was about to get out of the car and check things out for himself, he saw Rosalie approaching the car.

Sebastian opened the car door. "Rose, you two are done?"

Rosalie's eyes were bloodshot.

"Rose, were you crying?" he asked.

"No. Let's head home."

With that, Rosalie settled down in the front passenger seat.

Sebastian wanted to pursue the matter, but was worried that his questioning might irritate Rosalie. He decided to keep his questions to himself and drive in silence, bringing her home instead.

-

Deep in the night, Rosalie lay in bed and shut her eyes, her mind whirring.

Sebastian opened the door, only to see Rosalie asleep. He sighed, and left.

He went to the study, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number. When the call connected, he asked, "Hey, how's everything going?"

The other party's response made Sebastian reply coldly, "Pick up speed. I'll give you another 48 hours. If you still can't do it, you'll suffer the consequences."

With that, Sebastian hung up.

He leaned his forehead against his palm and exhaled long and hard, feeling thoroughly exhausted.

Just then, his phone rang.

Upon seeing the familiar number on the screen, Sebastian answered the call. "Hello."

"Mr. Carter, how are things going?"

"It's on the way. I'm keeping close tabs on it."

"Is that so? You've got to hurry up. I'm losing patience here."

Sebastian clenched his fists. "I don't have much patience, either. After I do this for you, stop harassing me and don't even think about threatening me anymore."

"I'm a man of my word. As long as you do what I tell you to, it'll be fine. Goodnight, Mr. Carter."

With that, the other party hung up.

Sebastian threw his phone on the table, and it landed with a loud thud.

It was the man who abducted Rosalie. He had been calling Sebastian, threatening and harassing him. However, he finally made his demands known after some time.

He wanted Sebastian to buy over Farover Enterprise.

Farover Enterprise was a well-known local company with great developmental potential. Upon further digging, the person in actual control of the company was of the family name Zeller, and this particular Chairman Zeller was none other than Cynthia Zeller's father. Sebastian knew Cynthia Zeller. She was Theodore's mistress.

Sebastian sent someone to spy on the Zeller family, including Cynthia herself, but he didn't replace any issues.

After that, he received a verbal warning from the abductor over the phone, warning him from having any tricks up his sleeves.

The abductor knew that Sebastian had sent someone on Cynthia's trail.

The abductor was aware of every move of his. He even started doubting whether the abductor had installed monitoring devices in his home.

Sebastian sent professionals to conduct a thorough check and they found nothing, but he could still feel an invisible pair of eyes watching him at all times.

His foe was in darkness, while he was in the light. What's more, that man had that incriminating video and he couldn't afford to act recklessly. All he could do was to wait and see, and do what the abductor demanded, which was to buy over Farover Enterprise. The abductor made this demand clearly because he wanted that company, and Sebastian guessed that he would make him transfer the shares of the company to him.

Perhaps at that time, he would be able to follow the paper trail and track down the abductor.
