Katherine locked her eyes on the license plate, memorized it, and sent it to the man she’d just been on the phone with.

The police knew immediately this wasn’t a run-of-the-mill kidnapping. They dispatched a unit to trace the car.

But the result came back fast: the plates were falle. Completely untraceable.

And then Katherine’s phone buzzed.

Marsh had replied.

A location pin.

Katherine showed the police. “The car. It’s here.

The officers stared at her, stunned. They hadn’t even gotten close to finding it, and she already had a location-start to finish, less than three minutes. What kind of connections did this woman have?

“Go. Send people to that location. Now.”

After sharing the pin with the police, Katherine headed straight for the exit.

“Katherine, where are you going?”

“Take Julian and Ethan home for me. I’m going to find Ivy.”

“Katherine! Katherine!”

Megan tried to call her back, but Katherine was already gone.

What now?

This was way too dangerous.

Katherine had been running a fever all morning

Going after Ivy like this-what if something happened to her?

Megan had also noticed that the person who’d sent Katherine the message was Marsh. W meant she hadn’t called Lucas.

Megan bit down on her lip. When it came to Lucas, Katherine still had her reservations.

Between Lucas and Marsh, she clearly trusted the latter more.

And honestly, Megan had seen firsthand what Marsh was capable of.

She remembered an auction back in Yarbrough Someone had heckled Katherine, demanding she remove her veil, and threw down 10 million dollars to force the issue. If she didn’t take it off, she’d lose face in front of the entire room.

At the time, Katherine had just made a name for herself-one slam of the gavel, and she was famous. Add her title as the most mysterious head auctioneer, and she was all over the internet. If her face got out. Lucas would find her in a heartbeat.

So, there was no way in hell she could show her face.

And the other guy was not backing down.

That was when Marsh stepped in. The man didn’t do anything. He just walked out, sat down, and said one word, “Continue.”

The entire room went dead silent.

After that, nobody in all of Yarbrough ever dared make a joke at Katherine’s expense again.

Right then, Megan had known-the man behind Katherine was someone you didn’t mess with.

But still. More people meant more firepower. Katherine had her reasons for not going to Lucas, but Megan didn’t.

Megan dug out Lucas’s number and called.

Two tries. No answer.

She switched to the SIM card Katherine had previously passed on to her and tried a

This time, it went through.

The man on the other end sounded like he was in a bad mood. His voice was low. “H

“Mr. Grant, this is Ivy’s mother. I’m sorry to bother you, but I don’t know anyone else need your help.”

“What happened?”

“Ivy… Ivy is gone. The police have confirmed she was kidnapped.”

“Yes. I don’t know what to do. I know you have the resources. Please, can you help me find her?”

“How far has the investigation gotten?”

Lucas didn’t waste time with extra questions. He went straight to what mattered.

“They’ve already tracked the kidnappers’ location.”

“Send it to me.”

“Okay.”

Lucas’s sharp brows furrowed tight. He stood, walked out of his office, and told Fred to mobilize people immediately.

“Lucas!” Rachel showed up just as he was heading out.

She hurried to catch up. “Lucas, where are you going?”

The elevator opened. Lucas stepped in. “Ivy was kidnapped.”

Something flickered behind Rachel’s eyes. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and followed him in. “Ivy? That little girl you found before? How was she kidnapped?”

“No idea.”

Lucas didn’t slow down.

“Then, how did you find out?” Rachel kept probing.

The elevator opened again. Lucas took the stairs three at a time. “Her mother contact

Her mother?
