Chapter 860 - Coward (1/2)
”That is true, my hubby is the best,” Qiang cheekily exclaimed.
Rolling her eyes, Becca helplessly shook her head. ”This girl is awestruck by her own husband.”
”Because he is the best and he deserves all the praise and appreciation.”
Just then Singtan stepped inside the room. ”Sweetheart, your mom told me you are going out?”
”Yes dad, we are going shopping.”
”Oh and by any chance does this 'we' include Guang or any of your brothers?” he inquired. When she shook her head, he added, ”Okay then, I am going with you kids.”
”Uncle Singtan, are you trying to say that we won't take care of Qiang?” Becca inquired.
Smiling at her, he patted her head. ”Of course not honey, I just don't trust you kids at all.”
”Ouch, that was hurtful,” Huiling groaned.
”Dad, we are just going shopping, I will be fine.” When Singtan frowned, Qiang assured him. ”And I am not alone, Becca, Huiling and Elsa are going with me.”
”Yes and we will take good care of her, I promise,” Becca added.
Glancing at the watch, Huiling frowned, ”Which reminds me, where is Elsa?”
”Hmm shouldn't she be here by now?”
”Exactly, let me call her.”
”I did try calling her a while ago but her number was not reachable, I think you should call Ash and ask about her,” Qiang suggested.

Ashton and Yinhai were still discussing business when Ashton received a call from Huiling.
”Ash, where is Elsa?”
Scrunching his brows, he inquired, ”What do you mean? You guys were supposed to go shopping.”
”Yeah but Elsa hasn't arrived yet so I called you to—”
Cutting her off, he remarked, ”But she left home early to meet you guys.”
”What? She isn't here yet, are you sure?”
”Of course, I—” Stopping midway, Ashton hung up the call.
Seeing his panicstricken expression, Yinhai inquired, ”What happened?”
”Elsa is missing,” he answered before calling the guard he had sent her with.
Just then a guard rushed into the room. ”Boss, we have found Joseph in an injured state. Someone threw him out of a moving car right in front of the main gate.”
