Chapter 2800

Not long after, their car arrived at Steven‘s mansion in the countryside. Everything was as Denise said:
Steven was not in the mansion, but the guards in the mansion were not to be underestimated. There
were many muscular men standing guard everywhere. Upon parking the car at a corner, Denise
pointed at the mansion not far away from them and asked, “Are you sure you can go in and bring the
kid out?”

Before they arrived, she had already felt Sean could not accomplish the mission. Once they arrived,
she was certain of her judgment. The mansion was guarded heavily, and it would be a miracle a thin,
fragile man like Sean could succeed.

Sean squinted and looked at the mansion. He said with a smile, “Let‘s make a bet. If I can bring Riley
out, you‘ll have to treat me to beer tonight.”

Denise snorted. “If you can accomplish the mission, it doesn‘t matter if I treat you to beer for the whole
month.”

“Forget about it.” Sean rubbed his knuckles. “I need to take care of Riley starting tomorrow. I can‘t
drink.”

With that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Watching the man walk toward the mansion, Denise could not help but furrow her brow. Up until this
point, she still did not think Sean could succeed. As she remembered the promise she made to Nigel…

She inhaled deeply and picked up her phone to call Steven, who was at this moment making his way to
Mr. Zink‘s office with Gwen.



He furrowed his brow when he saw Denise calling him. He did not attempt to run from Gwen and put
the call on speaker. “Denise.”

“Brother.” Denise seemed to hesitate as she spoke, “Where are you? What are you doing?”

Steven looked at Gwen and answered, “i‘m helping Joshua with something. What‘s wrong?” “…”
Denise took a deep breath. “I‘m outside of your mansion in the countryside.” From Steven‘s tone, she
sensitively noticed there must be Joshua‘s people beside Steven. In order not to spill information, she
did not mention any words related to the child or Riley. Instead, she merely mentioned that she was at
the mansion. Steven was startled, and he knew what Denise was implying. “Go back.” “I want to go in.”
She bit her lip. “I want to cook something for you and wait for you to come back. Please tell them to let
me in.”

“No.” Steven narrowed his eyes. “Go back now, and don‘t make me angry.”

After a moment of silence, Denise continued, “What if I force my way in?”

“You won’t succeed,” Steven replied.

“I‘ll try anyway.” After that, Denise hung up the phone.

The reason she called was not to let Steven let him in. She just wanted to inform Steven, and since
Steven knew, she would make her way in without any worries.

As she expected. When Denise was at the entrance, the guard put up his hands and stopped her. “Ms.
Hughes, Mr. Hughes just called and disallowed you from going in.”

Denise looked at the mansion. She vaguely saw Sean was already on the second floor of the mansion.
He had successfully sneaked into the mansion from the back.



She curled up her lips and smiled.

Once Steven got the call, all of the guards would have paid attention to her and stopped her from
getting in. Therefore, they would loosen the defense at the back of the mansion.

Denise took a deep breath and continued to make a fuss.

“Who do you think you are to stop me from entering? This is my brother’s house!”

When the guard was not paying attention, she bit the guard’s hand and rushed into the mansion.
Instantly, nearly all of the guards at the mansion rushed over to stop her. “Ms. Hughes!”

Little did they know, Sean had already knocked out the nanny that was taking care of Riley on the
second floor. He carried her from the crib. For some reason, Riley seemed to recognize Sean as she
extended her hand out at him with a smile.

“It’s too dangerous here. I’m here to rescue you. Don’t cry, okay?” Sean mumbled in a low voice, not
truly caring whether or not Riley understood him. He carried her and left through the back door.
