Goodbye, Ex-husband! I’m Pregnant with Your Uncle’s Child!

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Daughter Not Dead

At this moment, in Inkwell City, Elizabeth Shaw sent a complete message to Julia Land. She stared at the message for a while, lost in thought, and then began to tidy up her personal items on the office desk.

She and Sophie Woods had already resigned, and tomorrow would be their last day at work.

She had deliberately stayed late tonight to ensure all her work was properly handed over.

The rumors and gossip of being "the boss’s wife" had already made her and Sophie the laughingstock of the company.

After careful consideration, Elizabeth decided to resign. Staying here would not only offer no room for advancement, but the rumors would also crush her.

"Elizabeth, are you really resigning?" Colleague Xiao Lin passed by her desk and couldn’t help but speak up when she saw Elizabeth packing, "Actually, once this blows over, no one will talk about it anymore."

Elizabeth smiled faintly and nodded, "Thank you, but I’ve made up my mind to leave."

Once the matter blew over, people might stop talking, but her position would likely have no room for promotion. She didn’t want to be a test engineer for the rest of her life.

Xiao Lin sighed, "You are a capable person; I wish you a future as bright as the brocade."

"Thank you," Elizabeth said with a smile.

Her good friend Sophie Woods came over with rolled-up sleeves, "Elizabeth, are you finished packing?"

"Almost, just wait for me a bit. How about you?" Elizabeth replied.

Sophie helped Elizabeth pack her items into a box, "I’ve finished packing mine."

Elizabeth checked one last time and saw no personal items had been left behind, "I’m going to the restroom; I’ll meet you in the parking lot."

While she was in the restroom, she didn’t expect to still hear her colleagues from the testing department laughing at her.

"Elizabeth Shaw has resigned, will you be in charge of her work?" one colleague asked another.

"Yes, I’m temporarily in charge. I’m busy to death every day. I wonder if Juliet Martin, now squatting in jail, regrets it. She actually ingratiated herself with a fake boss’s wife and ended up getting herself into prison."

"I originally thought Elizabeth Shaw was good, only to find out she dreamed of being the boss’s wife. Being moved from the chairman’s secretary to the testing department probably happened because she did something bad."

"Poor Juliet Martin, flattering a fake."

Listening to the colleagues in the restroom mocking her, Elizabeth felt a surge of indignation and grievance.

She pursed her red lips and suddenly didn’t want to leave the company in such an embarrassed state!

She turned back to her seat and picked up her phone, hesitating for a moment before sending a message to Julia Land.

[Director Land, hello, I would like to introduce my personal capabilities to you. I wonder if you could say a few good words for me to the BOSS. I don’t want to leave the company feeling so suffocated.]

Elizabeth also sent a detailed personal capability introduction to Julia Land.

She knew that job opportunities had to be seized, not waited for.

Meanwhile, Julia Land, who was in the car rushing to the airport, received Elizabeth’s message.

She glanced at the message and then replied to Elizabeth: [Miss Shaw, as you wish, and regarding your friend Sophie Woods, I will also arrange a good position for her.]

When Elizabeth saw the reply from Julia Land, she revealed a surprised smile.

She was still pondering how to bring up Sophie’s issue, but Julia Land had already taken care of it for her.

[Madam, thank you,] Elizabeth replied excitedly.

Things were looking up; as long as she climbed to a higher position, they wouldn’t dare to talk about her like that.

At this point, James Thompson was liaising with the local police department in Fair Field Town, requesting their help in finding related information.

The car steadily headed towards the airport, coming to a halt, with James Thompson stepping out first, walking around to the other side, and directly lifting Julia Land out from inside.

"Mr. Thompson, if Elizabeth Shaw and Sophie Woods are competent at work, arrange suitable positions for them," Julia Land instructed James Thompson.

Her voice was hoarse from crying.

James nodded, "Understood, Assistant Winters, take care of it."

Jasper Winters responded immediately, taking out his phone to call Max, explained the situation in detail, and requested him to arrange appropriate positions.

Inside the airport, James Thompson clutched Julia Land’s hand tightly, both filled with anticipation.

The man’s face was calm, but he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and so were Julia Land’s.

Nevertheless, they didn’t let go of each other’s hands.

As long as their daughter was alive.

It was a blessing from heaven for both of them.

The plane landed in the city, and James Thompson wheeled Julia Land out of the airport.

They took a car to the police department in Fair Field Town.

"Mr. Thompson, Miss Land, I am Officer Zhang from the Fair Field Police Department. Please follow me," Officer Zhang said politely.

"Thank you, Officer Zhang," James Thompson expressed his gratitude.

Officer Zhang nodded, "We have mobilized all our police force and are fully cooperating with your search. However, the man might have already left Fair Field with your daughter. You must be prepared for that possibility."

Julia Land’s face went pale upon hearing this.

James Thompson gripped Julia Land’s cold hands firmly and looked at her with resolve, "Little Pear, we will find our child."

Julia Land held back her tears and nodded, trying to calm herself.

She couldn’t cry before her daughter was found.

James Thompson turned to ask Officer Zhang, "Did you find any information on that man?"

"We’re working on it, and we’ve also pulled surveillance footage from the town," Officer Zhang responded.

The officer briefed them on the current progress of the investigation and showed them some key segments from the surveillance footage.

In the footage, a man forcefully pulled a little girl’s hand, swiftly moving through the streets of the town.

Although the image was somewhat blurry, they could see the face—it was their daughter.

Dale Land had lost a lot of weight, with a scarred wound on her forehead, and her hair was disheveled; she looked like she was being dragged away crying.

Julia Land, looking at the screen, bit her lip; she knew that crying now would not help.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay composed.

"Please rest assured, we will spare no effort in the search," Officer Zhang reassured.

"Thank you."

Having obtained the basic information, James Thompson hurriedly arranged for people to search.
