Chapter 570
Noah truly wasn't expecting Malcolm to still be trapped in the garden maze even until now. He found the latter extremely stupid.
Yvette was perplexed. "How would we know where Malcolm is?"
Marlene recalled Clifford's favoritism toward Yvette when they had been celebrating the festival at Lane Manor recently. Her resentment toward Yvette only grew stronger now with Malcolm missing.
She demanded, "He came here after kindergarten today. His classmates said that he hasn't come out since then. Who else should I look for if not you?"
Yvette frowned and replied, "I've not seen him anywhere."
"Do you think I'll take your word for it?" Marlene instructed her men, "Find him! Search the entire house if you have to, but bring Malcolm back!"
"Got it!" Her men started searching everywhere even heading to the bedrooms upstairs.
Yvette clenched her fists and said, "Don't go overboard, Marlene. You're trespassing on private property now."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Marlene completely ignored her, seeing that Xavier wasn't around. She walked over in her high heels and said, "So what if I'm going overboard? What can a deaf person like you and a blind person like Xavier do to me? "Don't think you're all it just because you caught Zayden before. How could Xavier possibly get a hold of him if it wasn't for Zayden going missing?"
Zayden coughed awkwardly and said, "Let Malcolm go, Yvette-or none of you will have it easy."
Yvette was at a loss for words facing the unreasonable couple. She picked up her phone to call the police.
Zayden reacted quickly and grabbed her phone, throwing it onto the ground. "Hurry up and hand our son over!"
He was about to hit Yvette, but the bodyguards outside had rushed in upon hearing the commotion. They immediately shielded Noah and her. Zayden immediately felt intimidated looking at the bodyguards. Although he also brought his men, they were no match for Xavier's subordinates.
Marlene saw what happened and knew that they were at a loss. She then called Clifford to complain, "Hurry and come over to Dewberry Manor Grandpa. Malcolm hasn't returned home yet. Yvette has hidden him away!"
Yvette watched quietly as Marlene complained. She then gave her

Noah watched as Zayden and Marlene searched through everything. He then stepped forward and
said, "Malcolm did come over, but we didn't hide him at all.
Everyone was stunned. Even Yvette was perplexed as she asked, "When did Malcolm come over, Noah?"
"He came just around 5:30 pm. I don't know where he went after he followed me in," Noah replied.
He would never admit that he was the one who had taken Malcolm into the garden maze and left him to get lost inside.
Marlene crouched down upon hearing his answer. Ignoring the bodyguards, she then grabbed him by the shoulders. "Did you hit Malcolm?"
She had intended for Malcolm to hit Noah. She had never expected him to go missing instead.
Noah's health had been deteriorating recently. A single touch from Marlene had him bleeding from his nose.
"I can't even be bothered to hit him!" he coldly spat.
Yvette pushed Marlene away when she saw Noah having a nosebleed. "Are you alright, Noah? Let's go to the hospital now."
Marlene hadn't expected Noah to be so delicate he got a nosebleed from just a touch.
She saw that Yvette was about to carry him out and immediately got her men to block them. "I'm not letting you leave unless you let Malcolm go!" "Move!" Yvette yelled. Her eyes started reddening.
Marlene refused to budge. "I won't let your son off easily if something happens to my son!"
Yvette raised her leg and gave Marlene a kick without saying more.
