Sophia was anxious, but she forced herself to stay calm and comforted Annie. She said, “Annie, don’t cry. Just talk to me, tell me everything.”

Annie’s voice trembled as she said, “I called Julian tonight like I always do, but he never picked up. No matter how busy he is, even if he can’t answer, he always texts me back. But tonight, nothing at all.

“I started worrying, thinking maybe he was out drinking at some business dinner, so I called his assistant. But he sounded so hesitant, and I just knew something must have happened to Julian.”

Sophia saw Annie’s eyes brimming with tears and quickly handed her a tissue.

Annie continued, “I kept pressing his assistant, and he finally spilled. Julian was supposed to go to a dinner tonight, but his assistant waited downstairs for ages, and Julian never came down.

“So the assistant went up to check, rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.

“Julian’s phone was off. The assistant got worried and had the building manager open the door, but Julian wasn’t there. The computer was still running, left on as if he’d just stepped out.”

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat. She thought, ‘Julian is always so careful with his work. If he ever leaves, he always shuts down his computer. He’d never just leave it on like that.

‘So he must have run into something urgent and left in a hurry, forgetting to turn off his computer.’

After comforting Annie a bit more, Sophia grabbed her phone and stepped out into the garden to make a call.

But the person she was trying to reach didn’t pick up, and even after asking Paolo to try and get in touch with his boss, there was still no answer.

Sophia thought, ‘What the hell is going on? Why aren’t either of them answering their phones? And where the hell are they?’

She was getting more and more anxious.

In the following days, Sophia didn’t go back to Grandview Estate. Instead, she stayed at Windmere Estate.

With no news from Julian, Sophia worried Annie might get overwhelmed with anxiety at home, so she stayed close to her. She also kept a careful watch over Edward.

Edward’s health had been declining these past few years, and if anything happened to spike his blood pressure, it could be really dangerous.

But Julian had warned them before: no matter what happened or what they heard, they shouldn’t rush off to Rockville to look for him.

So Sophia and the others just stayed in Jenston, waiting for any updates.

By the fifth day, Sophia just couldn’t take it anymore. She secretly booked a flight to Rockville and had Paolo come along for the trip.

When the plane landed, Sophia stepped out of the airport and looked around, feeling lost in the mix of memories and changes. It had been over ten years since she’d last set foot in Rockville.

Back when her parents were still alive, Rockville had been like a second home to her.

Crestview Group had started out in shipping, and while Jenston was their base, Rockville was where they really made their mark.

Rockville was rich in mineral resources. Richard and Victoria, who had left the Roth family years ago, their own energy company here, Prime Energy.

But years ago, just before the company could go public, a rival company launched a hostile takeover, snatching up everything, including the mines on the outskirts of Rockville.
