Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1813

20 years had dulled Juan's memory of Stanley, a small potato.

"He's at school," Debra said.

Juan felt a shiver down his spine. Solomon caught the vibe, bolted from his seat, and tore out of the room.

Juan was right behind him.

The students swapped looks, unsure what was going on.

...

At the school gate, a guard waved at Stanley. "Leaving early today, Mr. Copeland?"

"I've got family stuff to handle," Stanley replied, driving off.

In the backseat, Lillian was out cold from the ether.

Stanley was determined to make her pay for what her parents had done to him.

Juan and Solomon hit the empty office, realizing Stanley had nabbed Lillian.

Juan made a call, locking down the school. Sirens screamed outside as police cars rolled in.

On the TV, news of Juan posting a missing person alert with a huge reward broke out. The internet blew up as people guessed who had the guts to kidnap Debra and Marion's daughter.

Stanley's mugshot flashed next. He hadn't expected Juan to ID him so fast, but he wasn't sweating it.

As long as Lillian was in his hands, they wouldn't dare move.

"Mr. Copeland, why'd you grab me?"

Lillian's voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts.
