"Nothing!" He smiled reassuringly at Nala, determined to take her away from this place.
A loud bang came from the factory door, followed by the distinct sound of high heels clicking on the ground.
Alexander swiftly signaled Nala, who promptly pretended to be unconscious on the floor. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
"Is this the child?" Bianca's tone was commanding.
Standing behind her, Brake grunted, "Yes."
Bianca took a few steps closer, carefully inspecting the child in the dim light. Suddenly, her expression shifted.
"Is this... the young heiress of the Chriss family?"
Drake was dumbfounded. When he had abducted the child, he did not know her family's identity.
Bianca sneered. "Dickinson, I instructed you to fetch the Hamerton child, not the Chriss one! And you claim you didn't deceive me?"
"Well..." Drake scratched his head. "Ms. Bianca, your goal is to pin in on Lena, right? It doesn't matter who we kidnap! As long as we have the child, she's implicated in human trafficking!"
This statement not only enlightened Bianca but also resonated with Alexander.
"Fine." Bianca took a deep breath and uttered, "Keep a close watch on this girl. I'll contact you!"

The Chriss family was in turmoil.
Elijah blamed Kasey for Nala's disappearance, while Kasey lamented that none of this would have happened if Elijah hadn't been involved with other women.
"Stop accusing me! You know very well how people falsely accused me of infidelity before! I've been faithful to you all these years!"
