Alfred nodded. After a long pause, he suddenly asked, “I Wesley still in Glacieroth?”

“He flew back today.”

“Got it.”

After Sergio left, Alfred sat on the couch in silence for a long while before finally getting up and walking out of his office.

He knocked on the door of another office on the same floor.

Tolina, busy with her work, looked up. When she saw it was him, she smiled. “Looking for me?”

Alfred walked in and sat down on the couch without waiting for an invitation.

He got straight to the point.

“Did you know that Lincoln is the man behind Canyon Group?”

Tolina blinked, then smiled.

“Yes. Why do you ask?”

“Then did you also know that one of Canyon Group’s subsidiaries is secretly dealing in arms?”

If they were involved in the arms trade, there was no doubt other illegal dealings were happening too.

Tolina’s brow furrowed sharply. “Arms dealing? Are you sure?”

Alfred said nothing. He simply watched her in silence.

After a moment, Tolina sighed.

“Alfred, I know I resented your grandfather for what happened to Wesley’s father all those years ago. But Wesley is 26 years old now. Almost 30 years have passed Whatever anger I had is long gone. I know the Keywoods’ rule is to never get involved in illegal business. Lincoln may be my husband, but I truly had no idea he was involved in arms dealing.”

Tolina spoke with sincerity, not a trace of guilt on her face.

“Wesley is my son. If only for his sake, I would never let him be touched by that kind of filth.”

Alfred remained silent for a while longer before speaking again. “Lincoln has disappeared. Did you know

that?”

Tolina raised an eyebrow. After a pause, she laughed softly. “Alfred, since you’ve been investigating me behind my back, you probably already know that Linco and I have been separated for a long time. We never officially divorced, but we might as well have.”

The two held each other’s gaze for a long moment before Alfred finally rose from the couch.

“If that’s what you say, then I’ll take your word for it this once. I hope you won’t let Grandpa down.”

“I won’t.”

Chapter 393 The Smile That Faded

Tolina forced a smile.

Alfred turned and left her office.

The moment the door slowly closed behind him, the smile on Tolina’s face faded away.

A few days later, several professors who had been abroad for academic exchanges returned to Apex. After handing off her responsibilities, Nella went back to work at the hospital.

It was busier than her time at the university, but at least it meant she wouldn’t have to run into Wesley and deal with the awkwardness.

Around this time, a major conflict erupted between Seldoria and Lunaria over long-standing historical disputes, and the two countries descended into fierce warfare.

To make matters worse, several armed factions within Seldoria took advantage of the chaos to seize power, clashing repeatedly with government forces.

Civilian areas across Seldoria suffered devastating blows Roads and homes were reduced to rubble.

At the same time, disease outbreaks swept through the region, triggered by the countless bodies that couldn’t be recovered in time.

More and more civilians, already shattered and homeless, fell victim to various epidemics.

The entire nation was drowning in tragedy.

In response, Craystan launched a humanitarian relief effort, sending essential supplies and medical equipment to the people of Seldoria.

They also prepared to dispatch a team of doctors for humanitarian aid.
