Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Chapter 711

There was no reason for the child to be there without Katherine.

Everyone quickly searched, combing the entire mountain, but there was no sign of Katherine. However, they found another set of tire tracks on the ground, indicating that someone had come and taken Katherine away.

Valerie immediately became anxious. She quickly pulled Matthew, who hugged her. "Let's go back and do a checkup on the baby. The rest of you, continue searching here."

At this moment, Dale had already fled with Katherine.

He had installed a tracking device on Maliah. Knowing she was unreliable, he had a plan B so as to avoid unforeseen issues.

However, he did not expect Maliah to take advantage of his sleep to escape and even intended to kill the hostages!

He could not afford to confront Matthew, so he could only take Katherine away first. As for the child, it was not part of his plan to begin with.

He believed he could not defeat Matthew, so he did not want to get into trouble.

He had tracked Maliah to stop her from doing something foolish but saw her driving away from a distance.

Dale heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Maliah was not completely crazy, which gave him the opportunity to take Katherine away.

Matthew did not find Katherine, but they did not give up either.

Valerie brought the child back for a checkup first. Fortunately, the baby was fine. He had been safe and sound under Katherine's care for the past two days.

Once she confirmed the baby was okay, Valerie finally felt relieved and grabbed Matthew. "Matthew, we must continue the search to find Katherine. We can't let that bastard Dale succeed!"

Seeing her haggard expression, Matthew assured her, "Don't worry. We won't let this kid get away. He's an accomplice, and once we find him, I'll make sure he gets what he deserves."

"It's been a tough day. You should put the baby to bed first, and I'll stay here to keep watch. Don't worry, I'm here personally and won't let anyone harm you or the baby again." He continued.

Fortunately, the child was fine. Otherwise, he would have deeply regretted it.

Valerie was about to lie down when Vivian arrived.

Seeing her, Valerie immediately said, "Aunt Vivian, don't worry. Katherine is my good friend. She protected my baby. I will do everything possible to investigate and bring her back safely."

Vivian looked at the swaddled child with a mixed expression and then at Valerie. After a moment, she said, "Mrs. Grant, please stop the investigation. Just let it go."

As soon as she said this, Valerie was shocked. "Stop investigating? Aren't you at all concerned about Katherine's safety?"

"Dale kidnapped her. As her mother, you don't care at all?"

Valerie was shocked. Someone had taken Katherine, and although it was unclear who, Dale was the prime suspect. It was unbelievable that Vivian could disregard Katherine's safety and act as if nothing had happened.

Vivian sighed and said, "I'm asking you. This is a matter for the Santos family and has nothing to do with you!"

"This concerns the Santos family. She's your daughter-do you still care about her?" Valerie was exasperated.

Seeing how upset Valerie was, Vivian could not help but raise her voice. "Do you think I want this? But what about Katherine?"

"If this situation becomes public, our family will have no future!"

"Angel is already crippled. We don't have much chance. It wasn't easy for Katherine to be with Dale and help our family. Why should I drive them to a dead end?"

"Valerie, please don't interfere in this matter anymore. I don't need or want you to cause more trouble. It won't benefit us. Please stop and pretend nothing happened! Leave Katherine to them!"

Valerie was instantly furious but then had a realization. "Let me ask you, Katherine doesn't like Dale at all. Did you morally pressure her into staying with him, using the Santos family to threaten her? Otherwise, why would Katherine choose a playboy like Dale?!"

Valerie hit the nail on the head, revealing the question that had long been on her mind. Given how much Katherine liked her brother, she

strange for her to fall for someone else quickly.

should have realized that notBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

It was not that she had moved on; family responsibilities completely trapped her!

Vivian's lips moved, but she glanced at Valerie with a confused expression. Finally, she said in a low voice, "The moral pressure was also intended for the good of the family. In any case, you have no right to interfere. You are not allowed to pursue this matter. Besides, Dale and Katherine are already engaged, so they will not harm her."

Valerie was anxious. "What if something dangerous happens? Dale is already at his wits' end. Otherwise, he would not have gone missing with Katherine. Can you guarantee her safety?"

Vivian could not provide an answer and bit her lip. She then said, "I do not care! Stop investigating. I have already left a message for Dale to return. As long as you do not investigate, they will return safely!"

Valerie was angry and felt sorry for Katherine, who had such a mother. It was shocking that Vivian was so uncaring about her safety and feelings.
