Miranda smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, your dad will be back soon." As the goddess CEO spoke these words, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.
She knew how much Lachlan cared for Nora. How could he leave her at school without anyone to pick her up? And why hadn't he returned or answered any calls or messages? Miranda's mind raced with possibilities, wondering if something had happened to Lachlan.
But she quickly pushed those thoughts aside and forced herself to remain calm as she comforted Nora. The little girl nodded in agreement, saying confidently that her dad would never abandon her. Miranda couldn't help but smile at the child's innocence.
Two more days passed without any sign of Lachlan. The deadline of seven days had come and gone. No one could reach him or find him anywhere.
Isa was on the phone with Kayden again, asking for updates on Lachlan's whereabouts.
"Kayden, has there been any news about Lachlan?" Isa asked impatiently.
"Nope," Kayden replied coldly. "He hasn't shown up yet. He even stopped picking up his daughter from school."
Kayden chuckled cynically before adding insult to injury, "Looks like he got scared off by that top-notch fighter who injured him before! What a coward! He doesn't even want his own daughter anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Isa let out a cold snort and asked, "What about Miranda? Has she been staying with that brat these past few days?"
Kayden hesitated before answering carefully, "Yes... Lachlan disappeared two days ago... and she has been taking care of the kid since then."
Isa exploded in fury and kicked over a nearby table in frustration, "That woman is such a lowlife! I can't stand it!"
His face twisted into an expression of resentment and jealousy as he thought about Miranda being so close to Lachlan's daughter while he was nowhere to be found.
"Miranda, you're such a bitch! How could you help Lachlan take care of his child? Do you like him that much? Huh? What does this guy have that's so attractive to you?" Isa cursed through gritted teeth.
He didn't expect Miranda to have already seen those photos and still not break up with Lachlan. These past few days, Lachlan abandoned her and his daughter to hide for his life, yet Miranda still stuck by his side. She even helped take care of his daughter.
This made Isa jealous and filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Mr. Austin, calm down! Mr. Austin, calm down..." Kayden quickly tried to appease him before changing his tone with a hint of malice and cruelty, "Mr. Austin, do you think that since Lachlan hasn't appeared in the past two or three days he might... have been killed by a master from Ghost Plaque Sect?"
Isa's voice turned icy cold, "It would be best if he died! It would be best!"
"Mr. Austin, don't worry about it; even if Lachlan isn't dead yet, he probably doesn't know where to run for his life!" Kayden continued confidently, "He abandoned his daughter this time; he probably won't dare show himself again in the future! Besides, he has become useless; there is no need to fear him anymore! Miranda will eventually give up on him completely!"
"Hmph! I can't wait any longer; I must get Miranda!" Isa said fiercely, "Also since Lachlan doesn't want his daughter anymore, what's the point of keeping her alive? Find an opportunity for me to kill this little brat so I can vent my anger!!"
