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
Howard's sudden change in demeanor didn't completely convince Emilia."Don't think that playing this trick will make me let Nadia go. I would never let that happen," Emilia asserted.Upon hearing this, Howard sneered. His ruthless demeanor sent shivers down Emilia's spine."How you treat her is none of my concern," Howard said coldly, lying back on the bed. "Even if you throw her into the ocean to feed the fish, I won't say a word."Watching his indifferent attitude, Emilia was confused and could only quietly leave the hospital ward.Standing in front of the ward, Emilia anxiously dialed a certain person's number."Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? Why are you treating Nadia like this?"The other person said something, but Emilia's expression became even more serious. "I've already told you. I'll handle these things on my own. It has nothing to do with you. Even if you help me with these things, I won't be grateful even a bit."Emilia hung up in frustration.Inside the wa
"Gregory? Good news! We've found Deedee. Haha, it seems like luck is on our side.""Biggs, Deedee is coming home, and you better be there to welcome her at the celebration.""Lorenzo, guess what good thing happened to me today? Hehehe, I'll tell you, it's good news that you couldn't even imagine."Watching Danny filled with happiness that he started frantically calling and texting his friends, Alex's smile became increasingly bitter.Now, he could only force himself to put away his feelings for Nadia, turning his love into familial affection, compensating her for the missing twenty-some years of family connection.While Danny was busy being happy, Alex was busy being sad, and only Ruth remained practical. Upon hearing the news, she started contacting Nadia repeatedly.She first tried reaching out through WhatsApp, but after not getting a response, Ruth began calling her. To her surprise, Nadia's phone was unreachable. "Why isn't Nadia answering her phone?"Ruth looked worried.
Right then, Emilia asked genuinely, "Are you planning to kick me out after you find your biological granddaughter, Grandpa?" When Emilia was little, Danny always showered her with utmost love and care even though Wade and Ruth were not accepting of her.Thanks to Danny's love, Emilia could grow up healthy despite not having loving parents.However, now that the backbone of the Watson family had returned, she was no longer of any use. Every member of the Watson family wished she would leave as soon as possible.Emilia was heartbroken. The person she had always trusted had changed.At this moment, Danny was solely focused on his granddaughter. He no longer cared about how Emilia felt.He didn't even hear Emilia questioning him as he enthusiastically took his phone and went to find the designer."Take a good look. This is where you truly stand in the Watson family." Alex started to add insult to injury."Do you think the household is yours just because you have Watson in your n
