Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1176
Even Serenity suspected foul play.
They simply did not raise their suspicion in front of everybody.
“Okay.”
The fun ended too soon for Sonny. He found the show at the aquarium entertaining, but it was a shame that his mother brought
him out before it was over.
The York family’s security team stood in two rows, clearing a way to the Rolls Royce. Carrying Sonny in his arms, Zachary
walked alongside Serenity to the car.
Liberty hitched a ride in one of the cars driven by his bodyguard.
Elisa took her brother’s car while a bodyguard drove her car back.
Soon, the two CEOs left Wiltspoon Zoo, escorted by their security teams.
Once they were gone, Jessica could breathe a sigh of relief.
She was afraid everybody might suspect her.
On their way back, Serenity said to her husband, “Zachary, something about today doesn’t sit well with me. I feel like it’s more
than just a kidnapping. They created a distraction and kidnapped the children amid the chaos.
“No one was holding Lucas at the time, so the kidnappers saw their chance to take Lucas. However, my sister was holding
Sonny, but they tried to snatch him out of my sister’s hands. I think their target has always been Sonny.
“Lucas’s kidnapping might be the diversion because I had bodyguards with me. They couldn’t get with the bodyguards around,
so they abducted Lucas. Although I’m not fond of Lucas, that doesn’t mean I’ll just watch him get taken away.
“I sent the bodyguards to rescue Lucas, leaving us without one. We’re adults, but we’re also three defenseless women. The
kidnappers would face less resistance if they tried to kidnap Sonny then.

“It’ll increase their success rate at kidnapping Sonny. Some parents didn’t manage to cling to their children amid the chaos, and
the kids were wandering about. These people did not after these other children.”
Serenity did not want to read too much into the situation. Yet, she could not help herself. She got the feeling that today’s incident
was more than met the eye.
Looking sullen, Zachary gave it a thought before responding, “I see your point. I’ll get Josh on it. The possibility that Sonny is the
prime target is slim.”
He stared at Serenity.
Serenity got the message. “They’re either after you or me?”
Zachary answered in a husky voice, “It’s more likely that they’re after you. Sonny is your nephew. You have a great relationship
because you raised him. It would kill you if anything were to happen to Sonny.
“Would you go after Sonny if he was taken? Of course, you would. They might use Sonny to lure you into a trap.”
Zachary’s facial lines tensed up.
Serenity had a heart of gold and rarely upset anybody. The people she had a conflict with were her relatives, but the Hunts were
not capable of such an elaborate scheme.
The only other people left were Mrs. Newman and her daughter.
Ms. Carrie was still in police custody.
Zachary kept Mr. Newman and his wife on surveillance, and the couple was busy bailing their precious daughter out. Despite
their resentment toward Serenity, the couple would not be able to pull off the scheme in such a short amount of time, unless the
plan had been in the works for a while.
Nevertheless, it had not been long since Serenity and the Newman ladies crossed paths.
If Serenity was not the prime target, these people must be using Serenity to get to Zachary.
Zachary was leaning toward his latter theory.

He was the mover and shaker in Wiltspoon. Apart from Clive, many others would try not to get on Zachary’s bad side even
though they could not rub shoulders with him.
Nevertheless, there were still people who found Zachary an eyesore and hated his guts.
It was hard to go after Zachary since he was always surrounded by his bodyguards and had the skills to defend himself. His
vehicle was bulletproof too. The next best person to strike was the love of his life–Serenity.
