Three days later, Peter arrived in Glevania and went to the Whitlock family villa.
He seemed spiritless, but his eyes were bright.
The first thing Peter did when he arrived at the Whitlock family house was give Cecilia a good lecture. "Cecilia, look at yourself. The servants said that you've been lying on the bed all this while. Where's your demeanor as the matriarch of the Whitlock family? You're acting like a commoner!"
Cecilia struggled to stand up.
Her eyes were red and swollen. "Mr. Peter, how can I maintain my demeanor in such a situation? My son is dead!"
There was a flash of pain in Peter's eyes.
After a while, he smacked a palm on the table. "Tobias is dead? Did you see him die? Have you seen his body?"
Cecilia's eyes widened. "Mr. Peter, all the creatures within dozens of miles of the area were blown up. Even Tobias is just a mortal. Do you think he could still have survived?"
Peter's heart skipped a beat.
But he suddenly remembered what Yuna said.
After Yuna told him about that, he had sent someone to investigate it as well.
There had in fact been plenty of remnants of clothes and body parts belonging to other people, but there wasn't any trace of Tobias.
This was truly too bizarre and unbelievable.
Peter looked at Cecilia sharply. "I came back here to look for Tobias. I have to know the truth, even if I have to empty the ocean! I want to see him, dead or alive!"
Peter was a man who'd been through many things in his life. After the initial blow, he had now woken up from his pain.
Natalie went to the Whitlock family villa again.
She wanted to see Hayden, as well as Cecilia.
However, she did not expect that coming to the Whitlock family house this time would be a complete humiliation for her.
Because Peter was there.
Natalie bumped into him.
When Peter saw her, he immediately opened his eyes wide.
"Someone tie her up." Peter slammed his palm on the table out of rage.
In the end, it was Selina that stopped Peter.
"Grandpa, do you think we're still in medieval times and that you can kidnap whoever you want? Does the law not exist to you?!"
Peter grew even more furious. "Selina, do you have any idea what you're doing? This woman is the vixen who killed your brother!"
Selina moved into Peter's line of sight. "Grandpa, didn't you just say that my brother isn't dead? Why are you saying that she killed my brother now?"
Peter was speechless.
Only then did he realize that his words were contradictory.
He huffed. "Whatever it is, this woman is the one who harmed your brother. Why else would his whereabouts be unknown?"
"Grandpa, if there's something you're angry about, you can say it, but you can't just kidnap people whenever you want, right? Not to mention..." Selina was suddenly stopped by Natalie before she could say anything else.
Her gaze fell on Peter. "Mr. Whitlock, I know that you're angry. This time, I just want to let you vent your anger. If you have any type of grudge against me, please hurry up and take it out on me. It's fine as long as you can feel relief."
Her words were completely sincere.
This was what she owed the Whitlock family.
There was a flash of anxiety on Selina's face.
