That explanation sounded perfectly reasonable to Lydia. However, an hour later, the last traces of her smile faded as well.
Daniel entered the room again, and this time the lines on his face were far more serious than before. "I still can't find them, sir."
Cale's brow immediately furrowed deeply. "Still no news at all?"
"No."
"They're still not answering their phones?"
Once again, Daniel shook his head.
"Track their phone locations right now," Cale ordered firmly to Vincent, who was also present.
Daniel answered for him, looking somewhat hesitant. "Actually... they've both disabled the location function on their devices, Mr. Cale."
The silence that followed felt different this time. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy and oppressive. Now, the situation was starting to feel wrong. If it were only Chris ignoring phone calls, that might still be understandable as part of one of his antics.
But Naomi?
The girl would never ignore calls from the people at the mansion for hours without an urgent reason. Especially after the tension that had unfolded at the Evermont family gathering the previous night.
Cale's jaw slowly tightened. He remained silent for a few moments, but the cold aura radiating from him made everyone in the room aware that his emotions were beginning to stir.
"I don't like this situation," Cale said. His voice was very low and calm, yet it was precisely that expressionless demeanor that made Daniel immediately straighten up attentively.
Cale looked from Vincent to Daniel. "Contact the central security team."
Vincent immediately rose from his chair. "Yes, sir."
"Expand the search area beyond the northern district," Cale continued without pause. "Check every place they might have gone and every route they could have taken."
"Understood, Mr. Cale," Daniel replied firmly.
