George had just finished work and was settling into his car. He’d been working around the clock these past few days, eager to return and see Louna as soon

as possible.

Exhausted, he responded impatiently to Sadie’s angry accusations. “What do you mean was it me? What the hell are you talking about?”

Then it hit him. He sat up straight, his voice sharp with alarm. “Louisa is missing?”

“Keep pretending! You bastard,” Sadie spat. “If it’s not you, it’s your mother, or that bitch Vivian. It couldn’t be anyone else…”

George didn’t bother to argue or explain. He simply hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Sadie lost what remained of her self–control. She wanted nothing more than to bash his head in.

Shortly after, Teddy called with news from property management. They had reviewed the surveillance footage and found only images of Louisa’s car leaving

that morning–no record of it returning. Yet her car was in the garage.

Someone had tampered with the security system. During that time period, few cars had entered or left the garage, so the brief disruption in surveillance

went unnoticed by security.

Louisa had simply vanished.

Fearing the worst, Sadie immediately called the police.

Within ten minutes, officers from the nearby station and property management staff had converged on the garage.

Sadie returned and described what had happened, including details about the suspicious vehicle.

This was an upscale residential complex in the business district where all residents were wealthy. The garage was filled with huxury vehicles, and the police

were hesitant to interfere without cause.

Property management began contacting residents one by one, trying to identify the owner of the red sports car or whether it belonged to a guest..

All residents denied koowing the vehicle or having visitors that day,

The situation was maddening–how had this car appeared like a ghost, without anyone noticing?

Sadie relayed this information to Julian, who was working with Noul to track the su

a moments consideration, Julian instructed, “If not today, then look father back. Start from the 19th.

“Alright.” Sadie replied, immediately passing his instructions to property managrafent.

The staff was frustrated–the 19th was four days ago.

Sadie didn’t understand why Julian had pinpointed that date, but with no better option, they followed his suggestion.

Sure enough, the car had entered the garage late on the 19th, in the early hours of the 20th. After that, it remained stationary and never left.

The surveillance footage showed a person dressed entirely in black, wearing a hat and mask that concealed their identity.

For three days, this individual had apparently lived in the vehicle.

Property management broke into a cold sweat at this revelation–someone had been hiding right under their noses.

They checked the visitor logs and discovered the person had entered as a guest of a 15th–floor resident. They immediately called this resident, a woman.

When reminded, she recalled, “Yes, that’s right! The car belongs to my friend. On the night of the 19th, she called me saying she was heartbroken from a

breakup and needed someone to talk to,

“I initially suggested the next day since it was already late, but she was sobbing uncontrollably, so I agreed to let her come over.

“When she gave me the license plate, it seemed unfamiliar. I mentioned that it wasn’t her usual car, and she said she’d gotten a new one, I didn’t think

much of it.

“I waited a long time that night, but she never showed up. I eventually fell asleep and forgot about the whole thing. That’s why I didn’t remember when you

first asked.”

“What’s your friend’s name?” they asked.

“Vivian Price!”

Of course.

The police immediately headed to the Price Manor.

Sadie quickly relayed this information to Julian. “It was Vivian. She stationed someone in the garage the day she was released, waiting patiently for the

opportunity to go after Louisa.“

Julian’s expression turned frighteningly cold.

He had considered that if George had taken Louisa, she would at least be safe. But with the Price family involved, Louisa was in grave danger

He immediately instructed Sadie, “As Louisa’s lawyer, make a public statement on social media. Say you have concrete evidence and demand that the Price family and Vivian release her. Make this story go viral, get the public involved.”

“Understood, Sadie replied before hanging up.

Julian handed his phone to Teddy with cold instructions, Monitor the situation and respond from the Thoups official account. State that if anything happens to her, I will ensure the Price Group disappears from existence within thire days.”

“Yes, sir!” Teddy immediately got to work.

Julian leaned back against his seat and closed his eyes briefly. He could only hope Louisa would find a way to buy time until he could reach her.

Just then, Bob suddenly slowed the car, exclaiming, “Mr. Tudor, look! Isn’t that the car?”

Julian looked up and saw the red sports car ahead, the license plate matching.

“Stay calm, Julian instructed evenly. “Keep following it.”

“Yes, sir!”

Boh regained his composure and accelerated to maintain pursuit. Julian had Teddy update Sadie, who would bring the police.

About ten minutes later, the car entered a gated community.

“Isn’t this Ms. Forbes” former home?” Bob murmured.

More precisely, it was Louisa and George’s former home.

Their car couldn’t enter the complex.

Julian’s gaze darkened. Without hesitation, he called George.

Louisa regained consciousness, her face, body, and even her hair soaked in gasoline. The nauseating smell filled her nostrils with every breath.

But she had more pressing concerns.

Darkness surrounded her. As her eyes adjusted, the outlines of the room gradually became clear in the dim light from outside the expansive floor–to–ceiling windows, the carpet beneath them, the chandelier overhead, and the familiar layout of the space.

This was her former home, where she had lived with George for seven years.

The events from a few hours ago replayed in her mind….

she had been brought to her old house? But by whom?

George? Or Vivian?
