“What do you mean, gone?”
“I just had my men tear the West property apart. Mr. Ron definitely isn't there. Martin swears Winnie never brought the boy back, and no one from his staff was sent to pick him up. Martin seems genuinely convinced Ron is still at Oakridge Heights. And there's another highly disturbing detail.”
“Speak.”
Remington's fist clenched tightly at his side.
He already had his suspicions. He had been wondering if Ron was actually Joy.
That was precisely why he ordered Ray back to Zion City to secure the boy for a paternity test.
But for Ron to vanish right at this moment...
The implication was painfully clear.
“I went up to Mr. Ron's room to gather a hair sample, but I couldn't find a single strand anywhere.”
Ray explained. His demand to see Ron's room had been entirely for the purpose of collecting DNA.
Granted, the boy had been away from the house for days, babies naturally didn't shed much hair, and the maids cleaned regularly, so a lack of evidence was possible.
But for a room to be that clinically sterile felt extremely unnatural.
It was as if someone had meticulously swept it to eliminate all biological traces, deliberately stalling their investigation.
Ray's instincts were sharp, and Remington came to the exact same conclusion.
The lines of Remington's jaw hardened to steel as he issued his orders.
