"Any news? Have they found Marie?" Mrs. Lockwood asked Terence anxiously. His expression was heavy.
"We've initiated a city-wide manhunt, but there's no word yet."
Terence's brow was furrowed. The police and his own people were searching for Marie with all their resources, yet they had found nothing.
Who on earth could have ambushed the prison transport vehicle while Marie was being transferred and broken her out?
This person not only had precise information but acted quickly, decisively, and ruthlessly. And now they had managed to hide Marie completely.
This was no ordinary person. Who could it be?
Mrs. Lockwood said angrily, "This is infuriating! How could they just let Marie escape? No, we have to catch her. We can't let her get off so easily."
Natalie's expression was also grim. Given Terence's influence in the city, if even he couldn't find her, it meant the person helping Marie was no simple character.
Breaking someone out of a prison transport and then vanishing without a trace—this wasn't the work of an ordinary person.
She had known Marie for five years. When did she get involved with someone like this? How did she not know?
When the Ward family learned that Marie had escaped, they also immediately organized their own search party, but they too came up empty-handed. Right now, the Wards were thinking the same thing as Natalie.
When had Marie met such a mysterious and powerful figure, someone who would ram a prison vehicle to save her?
Mrs. Lockwood saw Natalie's furrowed brow and assumed she was upset that Marie had escaped.
She patted Natalie's shoulder and said, "Natalie, don't worry. Marie may have gotten away for now, but she can't hide for long. Terence will definitely drag her out. She hasn't been punished yet, so we won't let her get off so easily. You can rest assured."
Natalie quickly spoke up in Terence's defense.
"Catherine, it's not Terence's fault. Marie is in the shadows while we're in the open. It was never going to be easy to find her."
"Look at you, defending him. You really do care about him, don't you?"
"N-no, it's not like that..." A faint, traitorous blush crept up Natalie’s neck as she struggled to find her voice.
Just then, the Lockwood family's butler returned.
Seeing the butler, Mrs. Lockwood frowned. "Is it the Ward family again? Tell them to go home. Natalie won't take their money, and she can't be bothered getting entangled with them. Tell them not to come back."

I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
