It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 390 - WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?

Chapter 390 - WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?

"What do you mean Ramon and Hailee had an accident?!" Lexus cried when Danny came into his office to tell him the news. "I just called Hailee and they said that the two of them will be staying at Tatum's for a few days."

Danny tried to calm Lexus, who looked very angry and lost his composure. "Calm down first Lexus… where are you going?!" Danny asked when he saw that Lexus was about to burst out of his office.

"Where else do you think I would go?! Of course to see the two of them!" Lexus was so furious that he didn't wait for Danny's full report because emotions had overtaken him and made him a little blind to his surroundings.

Accident?!

Ramon had been in an accident more than once in the past year! Was this just a coincidence? Lexus felt it was a sabotage.

And his assumption was proven correct when Danny pushed Lexus' body away from the door and closed the door with a bit of force.

"Can you calm down for a bit?!" Danny cried in annoyance.

"My brother and his wife got into an accident and you are telling me to calm down?!" Lexus squinted at Danny in disbelief. "Just tell me, where are they being treated now?"

"They're not being treated anywhere," Danny said very firmly. He even seemed to growl when he said that.

"What do you mean they are not being treated anywhere? Aren't their injuries that serious that they don't require treatment?" When thinking about that possibility, Lexus would feel a little relieved if that was indeed the case.

But Danny shook his head and Lexus thought of the worst.

"Quickly tell me you bastard! You're driving me almost crazy!" Lexus roared angrily as he grabbed Danny by the collar because he looked like he was thinking whether to tell him about this or not and it was really annoying.

"They are not in any hospital because they were kidnapped!" Danny cried loudly. He looked at Lexus who gave him a confused look and could see that his words were too complicated for him to understand.

"Kidnapped?" Lexus asked with a frown.

And only now did he realize that his cell phone had been vibrating non-stop and his office phone was ringing continuously.

"The incident took place in front of a lot of people. There are too many eyewitnesses so it's difficult to cover all this. For now, the media can only assume and they are waiting for an explanation from the Tordoff family regarding this." Danny tried to summarize the whole report.

He didn't even think so much had happened in less than an hour and how the media had gotten the wind of it.

Now, the Tordoff family was back in the spotlight.

Lexus closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he then rubbed his face roughly and looked at Danny with a very sharp look.

Danny even almost felt that he was dealing with an angry Ramon rather than a cheerful Lexus.

"How much information did you get regarding this kidnapping? What do you know about the abductors?" Lexus asked, his face very serious. Not a soft smile or warmth radiated from him at all now.

And Danny knew that if Lexus was on his very serious side right now, he wouldn't take the trouble in front of him so easily.

It was not an easy matter because all of this concerned his brother and sister-in-law.

"There were two bodyguards who died in the incident and also several others who were seriously injured, David and Pyro included, because they were so close to Mr. Tordoff and Mrs. Tordoff, so Barry is currently the head of security." Danny reported.

Barry was Hailee's bodyguard appointed by Ramon, but because his wife preferred Pyro, the two of them had been working together.

For Ramon, it didn't matter how many bodyguards were protecting Hailee, as long as his wife was safe, but unfortunately, no matter how many bodyguards were around them, the incident this time was completely unexpected and unavoidable.

"You know who's behind all this?" Lexus asked finally, his voice deep and filled with suppressed emotion.

Danny shook his head. "I've deployed a team to look for their whereabouts, led by Barry, but it will still take some time until we get any accurate information on this."

Lexus touched his chin, he looked much calmer and analytical than his usual self, as this was not a natural occurrence and a kidnapping case was something that had to be handled carelessly and lightly.

"Is there a call for ransom?" Lexus asked. He knew it was a stupid question. This wasn't an ordinary kidnapping case, but he felt he had to check all the possibilities.

"No, there hasn't been a call like that," Danny replied. "There is already a team set up to track down such calls."

But, Lexus shook his head. "Follow me." He then opened his office door and walked briskly down the corridor.

Lexus ran to Ramon's office, ignoring the questioning stares of the other employees.

And when Lexus got to Ramon's office, he didn't hesitate to open Ramon's safe and retrieve the important data about Leon Dawson.

Seeing all this data made Lexus feel much more furious. If his conjecture was correct, then Lexus would never forgive this person in the slightest. Never…

"Check Leon Dawson and give me all the data. Focus the search on him," Lexus said firmly, as if he already knew who was behind this kidnapping. "Give me all the information you know about Leon Dawson that you gave to Ramon."

Before this, after the problem with Leon Dawson was revealed, Lexus preferred not to dig into the case too deeply, because he didn't know how to act, and Ramon had never forced him to take over the matter, but things were different now.

"Okay," Danny replied, taking orders from Lexus, and for the first time he felt fine working with his classmate. Danny then hurried away from there.

Lexus spent the next two hours checking all the data on Ramon's laptop before he received a call. At first, he wanted to just ignore it, but as soon as he recognized the phone number that was displayed, he immediately picked up the phone call.

"Are you okay?" Candice asked when Lexus finally answered the call.

"I'm fine," Lexus said, he then sat in the chair that Ramon used to sit in and leaned his back against the back of the chair. His head was spinning. Too many things have happened lately, especially what was happening right now.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Candice asked in a low voice. She knew that she couldn't be of much help especially when she was completely ignorant of the matter and had no clue about the perpetrators of Ramon and Hailee's kidnapping.

Therefore, she wouldn't feel bad when Lexus refused her request, but Lexus surprised her by saying something she didn't expect.

"Of course you can do something," Lexus said, a smile lingering on his lips.

"What's that?" she asked. "Tell me, I'll do whatever I can," Candice said excitedly, responding to Lexus' request.

It felt good to be able to help or be of use to someone you like.

"Save me from this hunger," Lexus said in a lighter tone, but even though he was joking like that, there was no joy in his eyes at all. "I have not eaten."

"Hah?" Candice gasped in confusion, but then she shook her head at the request. "Is there anything special you want to eat?" she asked.

"As long as you're here to accompany me to eat, then I guess I don't mind it even if you bring rice and salt," Lexus replied and chuckled when he heard Candice's grumble.

Hearing Lexus's slightly cheerful voice, at least reduced her worries. Because she thought the man would look stressed now, Candice was grateful that Lexus was okay.

And that was exactly what Lexus wanted. He didn't want Candice to worry too much about him and trouble herself.

"I'll bring you some rice and salt, so just wait," Candice said, before she hung up the phone and hurried off to buy something tasty for Lexus.

On the other hand, as soon as Candice's phone was hung up, Lexus' expression turned cold again and he immediately continued what he was looking for.

Not long after, Danny returned with a flash drive, which contained all the data he gave Ramon about Leon and the entire Dawson family.

"Thank you," Lexus said briefly, then started the search again.

===================

Lexus looked at Candice who was asleep on the sofa waiting for him to finish his work. She wanted to stay there and be with him, even though Lexus said that she didn't need to do that.

But Candice wanted to help, even though there was nothing she could do, at least she wanted to be there to provide support.

And Lexus was grateful for that. Candice's presence helped him to think more clearly and made his emotions much more stable.

But now, the girl was asleep and Lexus didn't want to wake her up, so he chose to carry Candice into the room that was prepared to rest and let her sleep more comfortably there.

The room was rarely occupied by Lexus, because he returned home more often, but he had asked for the place to be kept clean, just in case something like this happened.

After Lexus put Candice down, he felt his phone vibrate. Someone was calling him.

"Hello?" Lexus said softly, looking at Candice's sleeping face.

"I heard you were looking for me."
