Chapter 9
After making sure Macy was settled, Stanley immediately called to have people search the entire Brindley for Roxanne. In such a short time, he didn’t believe those kidnappers were capable of slipping out of his grasp.
Since those kidnappers were brazen enough to dare hurt those close to him, he would make them pay. And when he caught whoever was behind this, he would make them wish they were dead.
He anxiously coordinated the search teams, but someone grabbed his hand.
Macy had finally stopped trembling. She looked up at him hesitantly, then said, “Stanley, in fact, Roxanne will be fine.”
Stanley’s sharp gaze made her shiver inside.
Thinking of all those times he had trusted her before, she steeled herself and recited the lines she had rehearsed a hundred times in her head.
“When I was unconscious, I vaguely heard the kidnappers calling Roxanne ‘Ms. Reid,‘ and they sounded very close to her. Maybe she was jealous of me, and that’s why she staged all this. Otherwise, how could I have been beaten like that, and she came out completely fine?”
Stanley didn’t reply immediately. But after hearing her account, he felt a faint sense that he might have overlooked something…
Roxanne was alone in Brindley. Where would she have the connections to orchestrate a kidnapping?
Even now, his men hadn’t found her.
This wasn’t something just anyone could do.
But Macy’s words made sense. Who besides Roxanne herself could have the ability to get past all those bodyguards and take her away?
“And besides, Stanley, the baby still hasn’t been found. Compared to Roxanne, I’m more worried about the baby right now.” Macy’s words hit him like a jolt of electricity.
The child had been missing for so long and still hadn’t been found!
He picked up his phone and issued new orders. “Send more people to search for the baby. Recall part of the team searching for my wife. On my territory, no one dares to actually harm her.”
After hanging up, Stanley rubbed his temples.
So much had happened in just one day since the baby was born, bringing him a serious headache. “Stanley, you should get some rest.” Macy’s soft, weak hand pressed against his temple and gently massaged it. “It’s been three days since Roxanne’s labor. You haven’t had a proper sleep.
“No matter how urgent things are, your health comes first. In our family, health is more important
than anything else, right? Stanley, the last thing I want is for you to–”
He grasped her hand, calming her. “It’s enough. I know.
“I’ll sleep for a bit. If anything happens, wake me up.”
He walked into the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.
This was Oliver’s and Macy’s place. But since Oliver’s death, Macy had left one of the rooms for Stanley. And he had never refused to stay.
Macy watched him treat it like his own home and smiled genuinely.
At that moment, her phone rang. She hurried to answer, stepping onto the balcony and closing the door before speaking.
“Has she been taken care of? Make sure it’s handled well! Stanley is searching the whole city. I can’t hide this for long.”
But the person on the other end didn’t give her the answer she wanted.
Instead, a trembling male voice sounded. “Ms. Shaw… Ms. Reid’s asking where you hid the baby.”
Macy paused, then sneered. “Well, well, Roxanne’s got some tricks up her sleeve. Is she not dead? Could it be that she secretly slept with some big shot behind Stanley’s back to earn protection?
“As far as I know, in Brindley, the only person daring to challenge the Frey family is that eighty–year -old head of the Moone family.”
The kidnapper on the other end clearly didn’t know how to respond, only begging. “Ms. Shaw, I handed the baby over to you. I swear I have no idea where he is now.”
“Please, for all I’ve done for you, tell me where the baby is… I just want to die in peace, Ms. Shaw, I
beg you.”
Macy’s brow twitched.
How did this idiot spill the truth like that? It seemed Roxanne had someone powerful backing her.
She didn’t respond and simply hung up. A vicious glint appeared in her eyes. “Roxanne, you’ve got guts, but I won’t let you succeed…”
Thinking this, she edited the recording of the call and sent it to Louis and Sapphire.
“Sapphire, Louis, Roxanne is being ridiculous. She got jealous, ran off, and had the baby kidnapped. I was going to keep it from Stanley, but the baby’s been missing for hours. I’m really worried Roxanne might do something extreme.
“Please don’t tell Stanley I snitched. I’m really doing this for the Frey family. If word gets out about what Roxanne did, it will make the Frey family a joke.”
After receiving the messages and the edited video, Louis and Sapphire were furious and immediately drove over. When they walked into the bedroom and saw their exhausted eldest son together with

Macy, who always cared about him, the same ruthless idea flashed through both their minds.
