Their life went by smoothly and uneventfully for three consecutive days.It was a peaceful time, with no one working too hard.Chandler and Erin spent their days at home savoring delicious meals and beverages, while Enny and Eddie also enjoyed their company.Their eldest son, Liam, heard they were having a barbeque at midday and criticized them for their lack of taste.Were kebabs really that delicious?Right after texting them, Liam shared a picture of his pitiful school meal on Facebook.The food wasn't bad, but he still preferred barbeque!When Chandler saw his son's Facebook post, he gave it a like and commented, "Thinking of adding garlic lobster for you!"He then sent Liam a picture of the lobster on the table.Liam suddenly felt that his school meal's braised meatballs were too greasy and unappetizing.Erin picked up Chandler's phone and chuckled. "You're messing with your son. He probably can't eat anything now...""It's good enough that they have something to eat! T
The last Erin knew of Yvette was that she had been discharged from the hospital and returned home to rest. How could someone who was injured just disappear without a trace?"Samson, don't panic for now. Can you tell me how Yvette went missing?" Erin asked.Samson calmed himself and said, "I went out to meet a friend. But when I returned home at night, I couldn't find her at all! There were no signs of the lock being picked, but we didn't have surveillance cameras installed. I don't know what happened while I was not at home…"Erin asked, "Was it Yvette who didn't want the surveillance installed?""Yes! She has always been against the idea of surveillance. She felt like she was being watched all the time," he said regretfully."Could Yvette have gone out on her own?"He immediately denied it and said, "Impossible! Even though she could slowly move with a crutch, she still didn't want to go out. She hasn't left the house once since coming back from the hospital.""Have you tried
Ryder sprang up suddenly, moving so quickly that he almost fell backward.Jill quickly went to support him, rolling her eyes and saying, "Fainted from hunger, huh? I told you to eat! Serves you right!"Although she teased him, she held a glass of water for him in one hand. It was at the right temperature, not too hot for him.Ryder decided not to act pretentious and drank the warm water.After finishing, he asked urgently, "Who called me? Who's my goddess?""Keep pretending! Just keep on pretending!" she mocked.He looked annoyed. "Who's pretending? Just give me the phone…"She laughed mischievously. "Then tell me who you think it is?""How would I know?""Oh, well, she's not your goddess anyway, so you don't care, right? Fine, go back to sleep. I won't disturb you."Seeing Jill turning to leave, Ryder angrily got out of bed and snatched the phone from her hand. The two of them tumbled onto the bed, with him pinning her down.Ryder said, "Stop messing around! Give me the p
Erin looked at the translated text and asked Samson, "Who would have a personal grudge against Yvette? I mean, could it be someone in the entertainment industry?"Samson replied, "Although she didn't get along well with other female celebrities, it wasn't to the extent that they would confront or kidnap her! Yvette only had work-related interactions with the male celebrities.""Then it's strange. Who could have a personal grudge against her?" Jill wondered.Without mincing his words, Ryder added, "Well, given Yvette's personality, it wouldn't be surprising if someone wanted to seek revenge against her."Samson's face turned grim at Ryder's words."Ryder, this isn't the time to criticize her. Finding Yvette is the top priority," Erin asserted. "I understand, I'm just trying to analyze the situation. Where else should we begin looking? It's essential to have a potential suspect in mind, right?" Ryder was the first to exit the bedroom.Chandler turned to Samson and asked, "Could i
Everyone was shocked at the news of Marley's death."Is it really Marley, Kylan?" Erin felt a heavy weight in her heart.Kylan nodded and said, "Samson has verified it.""Could it possibly be someone else, like an imposter?""My sister never had anyone stand in for her. She would never allow something so risky. If someone had been impersonating her and decided to replace her one day, that would be horrifying. "That's precisely why my sister kept her distance from stand-ins. Anyway, she didn't have enough enemies for one." Everyone reflected on Samson's words.Two minutes later, Chandler inquired, "How many people were aware of this basement?""Just me, the butler, and my sister. That's all.""Did your sister's driver know about it?""Bradley probably didn't know..." Samson replied."So it's uncertain! We should look into her driver!" Ryder took out his phone. "I'll go outside to call the police.""I'll accompany you!" Jill felt uneasy, knowing there was a female corpse
Noah had escaped!Could it be that he had regained his sanity?"Mr. Frost! Please rest assured, I've already called the police, and they have dispatched officers to search for Noah. If there's any news from the police, I will inform you immediately!" The director apologized profusely after his explanation.Erin responded, "This isn't your fault. Someone intentionally took Noah. Let's stay in touch."As soon as the call ended, Chandler pondered, "Yvette disappeared not long ago, and now Noah has been taken. Is there a connection between these two incidents?" He mused aloud, seeking Erin's input. She replied, "There has to be a connection, or else it would be too much of a coincidence!""Erin, I think that the person who took Noah is related to Yvette.""Hubby, is there anyone you suspect?" Chandler furrowed his brow. "I'm thinking of someone, but it seems impossible.""Who?""Irving Miles." Erin was taken aback, remarking, "But Irving is dead!""Is it possible that he f
Kylan's words left everyone in the room silent. Erin finally spoke up after ten seconds of silence, "If he wanted to, he could use it on anyone."At that moment, Trent knocked on the study door."Come in," Chandler said.Trent entered and asked, "Mr. Frost, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it now?"Chandler turned to address everyone, "For those who want breakfast, please go downstairs. If you don't feel like eating, you can go back to your rooms and rest for a while. Everyone worked hard last night, and you all must be tired.""I really appreciate the help, everyone! I know this mission to save Yvette might not be of interest to you all." Erin tried to express her gratitude. Taylor said, "Erin, there's no need for formalities. If we didn't want to help, we would have found an excuse to refuse.""Yeah. If we didn't want to help, we wouldn't be here reading these kinds of books all night!" Calix added. "Thank you…"Seeing Erin's guilty expression, Chandler walked
"The kidnapper seems to have provided us with an address. But if we rely on the local police to find Yvette, the chances of success might be close to zero." Kylan's words left everyone in the room in silence.If the police were deployed, the kidnapper might just move Yvette again, and the lead would be lost.Erin was at a loss for words. Sending everyone to Eupath to find Yvette could potentially put their lives in danger.She couldn't simply disregard the lives of others. Erin's phone rang ten minutes later. A sense of unease washed over her as soon as she noticed it was an anonymous call.Chandler glanced at the screen and said, "Erin, put it on speaker!"Erin pressed the speaker button calmly, and everyone looked at her with composed faces. Soon, a man's laughter came from the phone. The man didn't use a voice changer, and Erin felt like she had heard his voice somewhere before."Erin Lane, do you know who I am?"Her eyebrows furrowed immediately, and she replied, "It's
