The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 293
Ren walked into his room with slow steps. His body was very tired. Not only that, but he was not fully recovered from injuries caused by Amelia’s gunshot last week. Apart from physical exhaustion and injuries on his body, he was also mentally exhausted.
His mind was busy with various plans to clean himself from the sins he did in the past. He must find the right way to get rid of Karl and Sophia and eliminate all of Elios’s suspicions from him.
It was 11 pm already. He tried to close his eyes, but even though his body was very tired, he could not close his eyes. Ren cursed his body which had always had trouble sleeping for a long time. He remembered the times when he slept soundly was when he was with his wife.
Ahh .. he was a very lucky man to get such a perfect and kind woman, but he treated Vega so badly.
His heart missed her, even more, when he imagined Vega lying beside him and hugging him just like what they used to do when they slept together.
What was Vega doing now? Ren thought sadly.
He had heard Elios’s request that asked him to resign from his position as the crown prince and return to work at SpaceLab. He would do it as soon as possible. He would come to the palace the next morning and immediately conveyed his decision. After that, he would visit Vega in Targu Mures.
Ren took his cell phone and searched Vega’s number. He would not call and disturb his wife’s sleep. He just wanted to say good night. He would send her a text.
[I had dinner with your father earlier. He asked me to resign from my position as the crown prince of Moravia and meet you in Targu Mures. I will do it as soon as possible. I hope you are well. I love you.]
After texting Vega, Ren took two sleeping pills from the cupboard and took them to force himself to sleep. During the time when he was with Vega, he never took sleeping pills, that was why his body’s resistance to sleeping pills gradually decreased. Now, it was enough for him to take only two pills.
He had so many things to take care of the next day, so he had to force himself to rest.

“Sir, we’ve got a message from Skia. He wants to give us the last clue,” said Mischa suddenly to Elios who was sitting while checking the various reports in his hand.
The handsome man looked up and stared at Mischa. “Skia?”
“That’s right. Half an hour ago he contacted me and gave the last clue. He said that you must accept it yourself,” said Mischa, handing the tablet in his hand to Elios. “Skia claims to be a hacker who helped the kidnappers group. He’s the one who has given us many troubles all this time. I’ve never heard of his name, but I guess that’s why he becomes such a mysterious figure. He never looks for fame and he doesn’t even accept paid work.”
“None of our people can investigate him?” asked Elios in surprise. “What about Nicolae and Marie?”
Mischa shook his head. “Uncle Nic never heard of his name either.”
Elios was stunned. His brother and Marie were two of the world’s best hackers who were also famous in their industry. However, even the two of them couldn’t find Vega because the kidnappers were assisted by another very mysterious hacker.
Maybe that person was really Skia.
Elios took a deep breath. He didn’t know why Skia had suddenly given him a clue. He suspected that this person must have another agenda. He wanted to know exactly Skia’s reason for doing all this favor for free. He wouldn’t so easily trust someone who clearly had helped the criminals to kidnap his daughter.
He opened the tablet screen and found a video ready to play. Apparently, Skia hacked Mischa’s tablet and saved the video there remotely. Elios pressed the play button and watched the contents of the video.
CCTV footage from a cafe in a city that appeared to be in the Netherlands. Ah … Elios immediately recognized the cafe located across the street, by the canal. It was Sophia’s cafe in Rotterdam.
He frowned, trying to guess what the connection was between the shop where this video was shot and Sophia’s cafe across the street. Was Sophia involved???
His hands clenched into fists as he struggled to hold back his anger so as not to smash the tablet down in annoyance. Just see what would happen if his evil cousin was involved in his daughter’s kidnapping. He would not spare Sophia anymore.
Not long after, two men appeared from the end of the road. They wrapped their autumn coats tightly and walked with light steps and then entered the cafe.
One man looked very young, like a student, and the other was a mature man in his mid-40s. Elios and Mischa were surprised to see the two people who appeared on the video.
“Those are …” Mischa who also watched the video couldn’t help but say something. He, along with Elios, recognized Ren and his assistant named Karl as the men entering the cafe.
At that moment, the two of them immediately believed that Ren, Karl, and Sophia must have been involved. This couldn’t be a coincidence!
There was no way they could have known each other without some evil plan involved. Elios knew his cousin very well. Sophia was cunning and held a deep grudge against him and his family. She would be more than happy to see Elios suffer.
“Are we still watching Sophia in Rotterdam?” asked Elios quickly. “Why didn’t anyone report this incident to me?”
Mischa cleared her throat. “We stopped watching her after two years because there were absolutely no signs of anything suspicious from her. I’ll hurry over to Sophia’s place and meet her.”
Elios stared at the tablet screen with an angry expression. He felt like he wanted to tear the three people apart. Ren and Karl went into the cafe and they seemed to be drinking there because Elios and Mischa didn’t see the two of them coming out from the café after half an hour passed.
After half an hour, Ren stepped outside with casual steps to leave the café. Meanwhile, his assistant stayed inside. Karl just came out an hour later, walking with Sophia, holding hands. It was clear that both of them had some sort of close relationship.
The scene made Elios wonder whether Sophia and Karl were lovers. Did Sophia use her relationship with Karl to get her revenge?
“Tomorrow, I’m going to confront Ren about his visit to Rotterdam to meet Sophia. He must be able to explain why he met our family enemies. Don’t forget to get the DNA test results so we will know immediately who he is,” said Elios after the video stopped playing. He was about to close the tablet when suddenly a message was sent to his tablet.
[My name is Skia. I was a member of the group that kidnapped Miss Linden. The masterminds of the incident are the three people in the video. I know I shouldn’t reveal this secret to anyone, but I regret my involvement in Vega’s suffering. I’ve met her and she was very nice to me. I feel ashamed of what I did to her. Now .. at the end of my life, I’m haunted by regret. Before I die, I just want to do what is right.]
