Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 499: Chapter 499 Foster Family Mother and Daughter _1

“`

A watch isn’t bad, but an item chopped off a person’s body carries a far more deterrent power.

The situation had changed, and this made Mrs. Foster feel a tinge of unease. Then she thought, could it be that the kidnappers had suddenly grown cowardly, not daring to provoke the Graves Family?

How foolish!

Would the Graves Family spare them just because they hadn’t chopped off the second young master’s fingers?

Biting back the curses in her heart, Mrs. Foster picked up the ransom note that had fallen to the ground, glanced at it, and saw it was just as planned—the demand for 7.5 million, to be paid in exchange for the hostage in three days.

Mrs. Foster eased her mind.

“Why did this happen to us?! How could my son run into trouble?” Mrs. Graves sobbed uncontrollably, at her wits’ end, “What do we do now? Will they kill him… Should we call the police?”

“Shania, this is a serious situation, you mustn’t panic,” Mrs. Foster said softly, calling her by name, Shania Eaton, and trying to reassure her, “The second young master will surely turn misfortune into fortune, don’t worry. Let’s see how to deal with this after Young Master Graves returns…”

Remembering her exceptionally capable eldest son, Mrs. Graves’s confusion subsided slightly, only to burst into tears again at the thought of her younger son suffering.

“My little Gerald has never suffered like this since he was a child!” Mrs. Graves wailed.

Mrs. Foster comforted her with a few more words.

Gavin Graves hurried back with his men. With such a grave incident in the Graves Family, Mrs. Foster felt it inappropriate to stay any longer and, holding Mrs. Graves’s hand, said she would come to see her again next time.

Mrs. Foster left the Graves residence.

Upon returning to the Foster home, Bella Foster had been anxiously awaiting and quickly ran over to ask, “Mom! How did it go?!”

Mrs. Foster frowned and her expression darkened as she glanced at the servants bustling about.

Bella Foster immediately fell silent, her eyes darting around before affectionately taking her mother’s arm and saying, “Mom, I’ve learned a new piece, let me play it for you.”

Only then did Mrs. Foster smile and gently pat her daughter’s hand.

Together, the mother and daughter went up to the piano room.

The soundproofing in Bella Foster’s practice room was excellent, allowing them to speak freely.

“…Shania Eaton was terrified when she saw that ransom note, she was nearly soulless with fright when I left, still crying,” Mrs. Foster said with a hint of pride in her eyes. “You just keep calm these next few days and wait for the show in three days.”

Mrs. Foster and Shania Eaton were college classmates. When Mrs. Foster married into the Foster Family, Shania was still someone else’s mistress. With the Graves men being notorious for their promiscuity and numerous mistresses, Shania was far from standing out.

Yet, just because Shania bore a fine son, Mrs. Foster not only ranked below her but also had to fawn over her.

Mrs. Foster felt indignant, thinking Shania had no conscience.

In the past when Shania had hard times, Mrs. Foster had helped her a lot. But when Shania gained stature through her son, she let her own son treat Mrs. Foster’s daughter so poorly, even barring Bella Foster from the Graves’ doorstep! Truly detestable!

Bella Foster asked anxiously, “Could Gavin Graves find them?”

“Impossible!” Mrs. Foster’s lips curved in a confident smile. “Don’t forget, Gerald specifically avoided the Graves’ bodyguards and sneaked out. Besides, I instructed them to take the water route. They won’t leave any trace. Just you wait to become the young lady of the Graves Family.”

Bella Foster couldn’t contain her excitement and let out a suppressed, high-pitched scream, covering her mouth!

“Mom! You’re the best!” she exclaimed as she threw herself into her mother’s arms.

Mrs. Foster gently stroked her daughter’s head and breathed a sigh of relief herself.

Last time, when Bella Foster had an incident at school, as the saying goes, good news doesn’t go far but bad news spreads wide. Almost everyone knew that the Foster daughter was stripped bare and made a spectacle in the schoolyard, with the photos from that day spreading like wildfire on the internet. Even though they were eventually taken down and banned, Bella Foster’s reputation was utterly ruined!

Not only was Bella Foster no longer a candidate for marrying into a prestigious household, but even less distinguished families were unable to accept such a daughter-in-law!
