"What a fool you are," Lydia said helplessly. "All right. I won't force you. But once you arrive in Zentiscape and found Charlie, think about it carefully. I actually think you and Charlie are truly a good match. Both of you are good children."
Kelly was irritated and said, "Mom, I'm leaving." Although she was leaving, she was not alone. The Jones family had arranged many bodyguards to keep her safe openly and secretly. No matter what, Kelly was the sole heir of the Jones family. No one could afford it if someone took advantage of the situation and killed her. Soon, Kelly left.
Meanwhile, the Jones family used their relationship with Hoggard Technologies and sent a message to the latter, informing Hayden that Kelly was going to Zentiscape to find Charlie and imploring Hayden to protect her. Hayden, who was at work, was startled after reading the email from Jones Group. But soon, he realized Jones Group's motive and thought he would never help them.
The reason why Hoggard Technologies could get to where it was at present and gain the trust of all nations was because it never favored anyone. Otherwise, no one would trust Hoggard Technologies in the future. No matter how advanced the products Hoggard Technologies developed were, nobody would dare to use them. After all, high-tech products were weapons. If Hoggard Technologies sided with their enemy and bought the products of Hoggard Technologies, those robots might turn against them, and they would be doomed eventually.
Hayden refused Jones Group's request directly through e-mail. In Yowhayton, Ronan and Ryker, who had laid out a plan, were surprised when they saw the email.
Meanwhile, the other two prominent plutocratic families in Yowhayton also paid close attention to Kelly's trip. They even arranged for someone to follow Kelly to Zentiscape secretly. Needless to say, they were truly worried about Hoggard Technologies favoring the Jones family. Little did they expect that something big would happen to the Jones family three days later.
Ryker and Ronan, as well as Ronan's wife, Lydia, were all dead. Three of them died in the mansion. Joshua noticed something was wrong and reported it to the police. The police went over to investigate it and found that the murderer was Lydia. The incident immediately became international news.
Although Kelly listened to Lydia and went to Zentiscape, she didn't look for Charlie. She only wanted to walk around and get some fresh air before going back. When Kelly saw the news, she was stunned. She couldn't believe it and wanted to go back immediately. She wanted to know what had happened and wondered why Lydia killed Ronan and Ryker. Her sanity told her that such a thing would never happen. She couldn't control her emotions and collapsed, though.
The bodyguard following her stopped her and handed her a letter, saying it was from Lydia. It wasn't until Claire took the letter and saw Lydia's handwriting that she believed it was Lydia's decision. It turned out that Lydia never loved Ronan.
