Seeing Wyatt's horrifying death, Maggie trembled in fear, and tears streamed down her face. "Nadia, what do we do? I'm so scared."The restroom where Wyatt was found was already in chaos. This was the first time Nadia encountered such a situation, and naturally, she didn't know what to do. Not long after, Bonnie became extremely anxious as Nadia and Maggie hadn't returned. Seeing that they were approaching the next station, yet her children were still nowhere to be seen, she went to look for them. As Bonnie approached, she saw Nadia and Maggie standing there looking bewildered. "Why are you two standing here? Where's your brother?" she asked. Later, Bonnie noticed Maggie crying, so she hurriedly went to her side. "Maggie, why are you crying? Did your brother bully you again?" Wyatt usually loved to bully Maggie and made her cry every time. Hence, Bonnie didn't give it much thought this time. She believed that Maggie had come over to get Wyatt back to their compartment, but
"Given Wyatt's personality, it's a miracle he managed to survive until now before being killed." Lana analyzed Wyatt's cause of death over the phone with Nadia."Although it's not something we can discuss openly right now, do you think he might have offended someone to the extent that they would want him dead?" Nadia asked, not entertaining Lana's words. Her silence worried Lana. "Nadia, are you listening?"Nadia finally reacted after hearing Lana's voice. "Lana, do you think there's a possibility that Dylan died because of me?"On the other end of the phone, Lana's tone suddenly became tense. "Do you know something?"Nadia carefully recalled the night when she was in her hometown and the words Dylan said when he tried to force himself on her after drugging Bonnie and Maggie."Do you know something? Don't be afraid. Tell me, and we'll solve it together."Lana thought Nadia's hesitation was due to concerns that Dylan's death might be related to her. After Nadia carefully recal
After the meal, Liam made a great effort to show his affection to Lana. However, Lana kept being indifferent, leaving Violet puzzled. When Lana went to get fruit after finishing the meal, Violet quickly pulled Liam aside."Have you two been arguing lately?"Liam shook his head. "No? We're fine. Where did you get that idea?"Violet didn't believe him. "You haven't? If you haven't, why are you acting like a peacock in full display and constantly hovering around Lana, but she's so indifferent to you?""Grandma, she's not in a good mood. She had an argument with Nadia this afternoon."After hearing Liam's explanation, Violet finally felt relieved. However, she still told Liam, "In times like this, you should be with Lana even more. "Don't be so dense and only think about yourself. If Lana dumps you, you're not my grandson anymore."Liam was speechless. Was Lana more important to her than him?However, Violet's deep affection for Lana did bring comfort to Liam. The fact that his
Lincoln was almost asleep when he suddenly received a call from his boss, instructing him to come over immediately. Even though Liam said he was on a highway, Lincoln still showed up on time in his sleepwear and slipper, his hair disheveled."Sir, whatever it is, leave it to me."Liam suddenly looked at Lincoln with a pitiful expression. Since Lincoln had given him the green light, Liam hoped Lincoln would forgive him for what he was about to do next.Liam then threw the golden tube at Lincoln. "Keep your stuff. You've caused enough trouble for me by being disorganized."Holding the tube Liam threw at him, Lincoln was puzzled. "Sir, this isn't—""Here we go again. I said it's yours. Why do you always try to argue every time?"Lincoln was speechless. He hadn't even finished speaking, and Liam accused him of talking back.Ever since Lana entered his life, Liam's attitude toward him had only been getting worse. There was no limit to how bad it could get."Lincoln, is this really
At the same time, Lana and Liam were anxiously waiting for news at home. They finally received a message from Liam's contacts at midnight. They reported to Liam through a live video."Mr. Liam, sorry we were a bit late!"In the video, Liam and Lana could clearly see Nadia's room. She had packed her luggage, but she was nowhere to be found. Even her phone was missing. Only a dark red substance, similar to blood, remained on the carpet at the door. Lana's heart shattered.Tears streamed down her face as she leaned on Liam. She continuously blamed herself, "Liam, it's all my fault. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought with Nadia. What do we do now?"While comforting Lana, Liam commanded his team, "Immediately look through the CCTV footage. Check if Bonnie and her daughter are still there. Assign our people to guard the major roads and track any suspicious individuals immediately without provoking them.""Yes, sir!"With that, the man immediately hung up and went to execute Liam's
Nadia and Howard were both startled by the sudden sound, frozen in place. The rhythmic sound of high heels hitting the floor approached, and a woman was walking toward them. Behind her, there were six or seven men in black suits."So, you two are finally awake?" the woman asked. Nadia, supporting Howard, attempted to get a clear look at the woman's face through the dazzling light. Unfortunately, all they could discern were the woman's vintage dress and an extravagant lace hat.One thing was certain. They didn't know this woman."So, you're Howard?" the woman asked, finally reaching them. Her tall figure, elegant movements, and alluring appearance made her seem like a woman stepping out of a painting from the last century—dangerous and charming.Howard immediately shielded Nadia behind him, watching her warily. "Who are you? Why did you lock us up here?"The woman looked at him disdainfully and smiled lightly. "You don't need to worry about that. Who I am is not important. Wh
"Mr. Liam, we have people at all entrances, but still no trace of Ms. Clark."When Liam and Lana arrived in the city where Nadia went missing overnight, his team continued to search for Nadia's whereabouts systematically. However, they still found no useful clues.Lana was in a full-blown panic. Before coming here, she and Liam had visited the hotel where Bonnie and Maggie were staying, inquiring about any information regarding Nadia. However, they were equally shocked and clueless about why Nadia would suddenly disappear.Bonnie had just been devastated by the news of Wyatt's death at noon. Now, she had to accept her daughter's disappearance in the middle of the night. The moment she heard the news, Bonnie couldn't bear it any longer and collapsed.Maggie accompanied her to the hospital in an ambulance. Lana and Liam had to rush to various major entrances and exits of the city, trying to find any traces of Nadia."Liam, what should we do?" Lana was distraught, unsure of what
Howard felt really foolish. In the warehouse, the moment he saw that woman, he couldn't shake the feeling of déjà vu.Now, looking back, wasn't she just a copy of Emilia? She appeared a bit older than Emilia, though.Emilia burst into laughter suddenly. "Howard, why do you care about her? From now on, you must be wholeheartedly devoted to me, or else I don't know what she might do to Nadia!""What?" Howard was caught off guard by Emilia's despicable tactics. "Do you know that what you're doing is illegal?""Whether it's illegal or not, do you think I don't know?" Emilia's expression turned somewhat sinister. She threatened Howard, "But I know from now on, you dare not disobey me.""You—" Howard was infuriated, his expression twisting in anger. How he wished he could strangle her. But he understood it wasn't the right time now, as Nadia was still in their hands."Don't be so angry. Calm down!" Emilia grinned like a mischievous imp. "You ruined the engagement ceremony, but as lon
