[I’ll go.]

Iris agreed so readily that the sender seemed caught off guard.

A reply arrived a moment later.

[Then it’s settled. Also, Connor asked us to tell you that this time, he’s definitely going to beat you

A new digital invitation followed.

Like the previous one, it was completely black.

The time and location were displayed in minimalist text.

Ten seconds after opening it, the file automatically destroyed itself.

Connor was the hacker who had lost to Iris at a previous conference and had spent years trying to arrange

a rematch.

Iris was about to contact Ares when Julie burst into the office. “Iris! Something terrible happened!”

“I know. Emma’s missing.”

Iris stood up.

“I’m heading to the Barclay estate now.”

“No, that’s not what I mean!” Julie hurried to her desk and grabbed her arm. “They found Chloe!”

“They found her?”

“Come on.” Julie practically dragged her outside and into the car. “We’ll talk on the way.”

By the time they arrived at the Barclay family estate, several people had already gathered.

Chloe sat on a sofa.

Eleanor and Rumi sat on either side of her, quietly comforting her.

Ares stood by the window, speaking on the phone.

Theodore Barclay wasn’t present.

Fortunately, he hadn’t been informed yet.

Chloe’s makeup had been ruined by tears. The trash can beside her overflowed with used tissues.

As Iris and Julie entered, Chloe looked up.

The moment she saw Iris, she started crying even harder.

‘ We His calm her down?”

Eleanor hurriedly opened another package of tissues.

“Why are you crying again?”

“I’m sorry” Chloe snittled. “It’s just… whenever I see my sister…”

“What does that have to do with Iris?” Eleanor looked confused.

Chloe shook her head and buried herself against Eleanor’s shoulder, continuing to,sob.

“Chloe, stop crying for a moment” Rumi leaned forward. “You’re the only witness we have. Tell us exactly what happened. Who took Emuna?”

It took several minutes before Chloe finally appeared composed enough to speak.

“This morning I took Emma to the amusement park.”

“Hett briefly to buy her cotton candy.”

“When I turned around, I saw several people taking her away.”

“I immediately chased after them.”

“Then, halfway through the chase, everything went black.”

“And then?” Eleanor pressed. “What happened after that?”

“When I regained some awareness, I realized I was tied up. My eyes were covered.”

“I think I was inside a vehicle.”

“There were several men nearby talking.”

Chloe suddenly stopped.

The room fell silent.

“What were they saying?” Eleanor asked anxiously. “Did they mention why they kidnapped Emma?”

Slowly, Chloe raised her head. Her eyes settled on Iris.

“They mentioned my sister.”

The room instantly became still.

“I think they were enemies of Iris. They mistook Emma for Iris’s daughter. So they kidnapped he

Immediately, everyone’s attention shifted from Chloe to Iris.

Iris calmly reviewed every enemy she had ever made.

None of them fit.

None would kidnap Emma.

As she lowered her gaze, she caught a fleeting flash of satisfaction in Chloe’s eyes. It disappeared aost immediately.

“You heard that clearly?” Julie spoke before anyone else could. “Don’t start throwing accusations around. Iris has only been in Capital City for a short time. She just graduated high school. At worst, she managed a company. What kind of terrifying enemies could she possibly have?”

On one hand. Julie instinctively defended Iris.

On the other. Chloe’s explanation sounded ridiculous.

Ares finished his call and walked over. He had heard every word.

Without hesitation, he positioned himself beside Iris.

He said nothing.

But his actions said everything.

Eleanor eventually sighed.

“Let’s set that aside for now.”

Then she turned back to Chloe. “How did you escape?”

Chloe hated how quickly the conversation had moved away from blaming Iris.

Still, she continued. “When I heard them mention my sister, I was shocked. Then Emma woke up and started making a scene. The kidnappers had to stop the vehicle and deal with her.”

“I used that opportunity to escape.”

“There were too many people guarding Emma. I figured it would be smarter to get away first and find help afterward.”

She wiped her eyes.

“Luckily, this dress has a hidden pocket in the back. I always carry a small pair of scissors. I used them to cut the ropes. Then I happened to run into Mrs. Young.”

Iris looked at her. “You carry scisors with you?”

“Of course.” Chloe answered immediately. “I’ve carried self–defense tools my whole life.”

Her story contained just enough truth to sound believable. Yet enough inconsistencies remained tha

“These aren’t useful leads.”

“We’ll find her.” Iris’s voice was steady. Her eyes were clear and unwavering. “We’ll find Emma.”
