Chapter 339
Mona looked at the sunlight streaming through the door, which had banished the darkness. She thought. Where coated Maxwell be right now?
You’re right. Mrs. Carter. I’ve already instructed them to invectigate the nearby villas to see if there are any nese residents and to search for Mr. Carter’s whereabouts, Nigel said. The ineficiency of his subordinates surprised him and indicated just how deeply the people behind this were concealed.
“Okay, thank you, Nigel, Mona said.
Nigel nodded and left the villa. Mona’s gaze fell on the water–stained ground, and she instructed the servant to prepare breakfast. No matter what happened, life had to go on. She needed to eat well to have the strength to search for Maxwell
Just as Mona and Haley finished breakfast, Albert had arrived. Almost immediately, Albert’s gaunt face appeared in front of Mona. It seemed that life in the military was tough. She recalled the time when he came to pick her up with the police, saying he would take her home.
Albert, who had tragically succumbed to drug addiction in the past, was no longer there; instead, he stood before her with a proud demeanor, embodying a strong sense of righteousness. Mona thought that, in time, he would gradually realize that Barbara was not what he had envisioned.
“Hey, sis, Haley, are you having breakfast? Where’s brother–in–law?” Albert casually asked as he sat down opposite Mona. The servant quickly brought him clean tableware,
Hearing Albert mention Maxwell, Mona froze briefly with her fork, uncertain if Maxwell had eaten breakfast. L… I don’t know where he is. The one at home is an imposter,” she said calmly, though her trembling fingers betrayed her outward
composure.
“W–What do you mean?” Albert asked, surprised. “Maxwell is Maxwell! He looks the same and sounds the same. How could he not be him?”
Mona sighed, unsure of how to explain. Beside her, Haley recounted the events of the morning to Albert. After hearing what Haley had to say, Albert felt as if he were in a soap opera–no, even soap operas wouldn’t dare to portray such a plot.
He looked at Mona and Haley in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the situation. “Is what Haley said true, sis?” he asked again, unable to believe it and seeking confirmation.
Mona nodded. “It’s true, but we still don’t know where your brother–in–law is!” It was the issue that worried her the most. The thought of the blood she had seen the night before filled her with fear that Maxwell might be in serious trouble.
“Why don’t we call the police?” Albert suggested, believing that having Nigel and his team search might yield quicker results, although he wasn’t sure how long it would take to find him.
Mona shook her head. “No, we can’t involve the police. If we do, everyone will know Maxwell is missing, and the person who switched him will move him again. I’m concerned they might harm him. Let’s search for him first, and if we can’t find him, we can think about calling the police.”
Gordon was the prime suspect; he showed no mercy towards Maxwell. Almost as soon as Mona finished speaking, her phone rang. When she saw it was Nigel calling, she answered without hesitation.
“Mrs. Carter, we found a family that moved in recently, just a few houses away from yours. The neighbors have noticed it but rarely see the owner.” Perhaps their behavior was quite unusual. When Nigel’s team started asking around, they immediately gathered and reported the information to Mona.
Affer Nigel finished speaking, he didn’t hear a response from Mona, so he continued, “Mrs. Carter, should we send someone
to check out that villa now?”

After Mona responded and ended the call, Albert sayed with 11ry and arrampanied Stona Albert comforted Maria. insisting that Maxwell, being so espable, would surely be fine. Ma realized how highly Albert regarded Maxwell in his heart whenever he said this.
As the sun gradually act, the last rays disappeared behind the class, and for the first time in a while, both the moon and stars appeared in the sky Nigel had learned that someone ring in the heme usually left around nine in the evening ant returned around ten with plenty of food
Once the person lef, Mona and the others were unsure how many remained inside the villa. Whether Maxwell was insurfe or not, she planned to send someone to investigate that night. The food the person brought back presented the perfect opportunity, and Mona was contemplating who to send to slip sleeping pills into it.
Haley looked earnestly at Mona and said, “Mona, let me do it. Yeni can trust me; I can handle this.”
Mona nodded, wanting Laley to take on the task. She had faith in Haley’s ability to handle it. Sure enough, Haley came through and successfully slipped a sleeping pill into the drink that the person had brought back.
Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the time to pass until they finished their drinks. As the hours ticked by and midnight approached, darkness enveloped the light, and everyone gradually slipped into a deep sleep. Mona, feeling energized, declared, “Now’s the time.”
One was Haley, and the other was one of Maxwell’s capable subordinates, equally skilled. Mona had them change into dark clothing before they headed into the villa. Meanwhile, Albert and Mona waited outside, keeping watch.
Before they went in, Mona turned to the two of them and urged, “If you find Maxwell inside, do your best to bring him back. But if too many people are in there, prioritize your safety. Make sure to come back safe; we’ll be waiting for you here.”
Haley nodded solemnly, silently promising herself, ‘I won’t let Mona down. I will bring back the real Mr. Carter.
Mona watched Haley and the other person quietly slip inside, their dark outfits blending seamlessly with the night. She looked up at the moon, which was full and bright, a perfect night for reunions. She silently prayed, ‘Haley will surely bring Maxwell back safely.‘
Albert glanced at the worried Mona and reassured her, “Don’t worry, sis. Brother–in–law loves you so much; he’ll be fine to see you again. Haley will be okay, too. They all will be safe.”
