But the sudden overnight rain had stalled the search efforts. 

Then, Edith and Selena got word from Carlene. Turns out, lan went missing because of Maja. He had decided to go to the neighboring city for an auction. 

Upon hearing this, the two women were beyond livid and went to confront Maja immediately. 

“You bloody wretch! Come out!” Selena was banging on Maja’s bedroom door. “If we can’t save lan, you and your entire Pennyfeather family are going down with 

him!” 

Selena had already lost one son, and she couldn’t bear the thought of losing lan. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, wishing she could break down the door. 

Maja’s head was already aching and the insults only made her feel like her head was about to burst. She stuffed some earplugs in and curled up under her covers. Selena scolded for a while, then returned to the living room, panting, and asked her people, “Have you dug up everything on the Pennyfeathers?” 

The bodyguard nodded and handed over all the information they had on Maja’s parents and even her uncles and aunts. 

When Selena saw Lillian’s picture, her eyes widened and she nearly fainted. 

“Who is this? Who is this?” 

The bodyguard was startled and quickly replied, “That’s Neil Pennyfeather’s ex–wife, Maja’s biological mother, Lillian.” 

Selena’s eyes widened again, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. 

Lillian? 

Lillian! 

She was shaking all over and without hesitation, she dialed Steve Raymond’s number, Steve was Selena’s husband and lan’s father. 

“Steve! Get back here and explain this to me. Why didn’t you stop lan’s wedding to Maja? Did you know all along that Maja was that bitch’s daughter? Come back and explain!” 

Selena’s voice was hoarse with rage as she angrily swept everything off the coffee table. The fruit bowl, the teapot, everything shattered on the floor. 

Edith was taken aback, but she knew who Selena was referring to. Years ago, her son had fallen for a girl from a small town and wanted to marry her, despite having been betrothed to Selena. Although it was a childhood engagement, it was a match of equals. 

The whole thing was a big mess. Ultimately, Edith had to intervene, threatening to take her own life. With additional pressure from Selena’s family, the two were finally married. 

As for the other woman, she never seemed to have left that small town. 

Steve went to that remote place because of a mission back then. Thirty years ago, Crystalbrook Valley was much less developed than it is now. There were no roads to the city, and you had to cross mountains on foot. It was said that it would take a month to reach the outskirts of Greenfield. 

Steve was away for half a year and, due to the inconvenience, he never came back. He was only nineteen years old then and was engaged to be married. But when he returned, he didn’t want to acknowledge the engagement anymore. He wanted to marry a girl from Crystalbrook Valley.
