“I mean, I’m pretty good,” Cassia added after thinking for a moment.

But Ethan had already hung up.

Cassia stared at her phone. Dumbfounded.

She set it on the desk and went back to her game with The World.

At the Wood Manor.

Vance hadn’t come home all night.

Victoria called Aspen, who had already gone to work, and asked if Vance was at the office. “He’s not here either,” Aspen said.

Now she started to worry.

“Then where could he be? He hasn’t been home since yesterday morning.”

“Don’t worry, Grandma. Maybe he got busy with work. I’ll call and check in a bit,” Aspen said, trying to calm her.

“It won’t help. I already tried calling. His phone isn’t going through.” The more she spoke, the more anxious she sounded.

“Do you think something happened to Vance?”

Hearing that, Aspen also felt uneasy.

But right now, he was the only man holding the family together. If he panicked, the whole household would fall apart.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. Dad runs one of the biggest companies in Zrario. No one would dare mess with him. I’ll send people to look for him right now. We’ll find him soon. Trust me.”

Only after hearing his promise did Victoria finally hang up.

The moment the call ended, Aspen activated the Woods’s business network to search for Vance.

Though he was officially just the chief supervisor of several company divisions, everyone knew he was Vance’s son and the future heir. So when he gave an order, the staff treated it like an order from the boss himself.

Not long after, the report came in.

“What? My dad is in detention? Held for a month?”

Aspen passed the news to Victoria.

Hearing this, she rushed out at once with Aspen and several family members, heading to the police station, hoping money could get Vance released.

But they were firmly refused.

No matter how much the Woods pleaded, the one–month detention would not be shortened by even a minute.

“My son is a law–abiding citizen. What exactly did he do?” Victoria asked, looking at Vance inside the holding area, her chest aching with worry.

The police chief explained the situation.

“What? That’s all? And you arrested my son for a whole month because of that?” she complained.

The chief stared at her, shocked by her reaction.

That’s all? Was it not serious enough? Do they have to wait until he actually harms his own daughter, ruins her SATS, and causes lifelong regret before it counts as serious?

How could a grandmother think this way–her own son planning to hurt her granddaughter, yet she still believed he had done nothing wrong?

Ignorant. Stubborn. Foolish.

“Ma’am, Mr. Wood did break the law. This detention is meant to make him understand that what he did was wrong.”

Victoria grabbed the chief’s arm, pleading, “Is there really no room for compromise? I’m old, and our household is full of women. If you lock up my son, what are we supposed to do?”

The chief glanced at Aspen.

“Isn’t there another man in the family? Besides, it’s only one month, not a life sentence.”

Aspen stepped forward and patted his chest.

“Grandma, don’t worry. I’m here.”

Looking at Vance behind the bars, he thought, Even if he’s my dad, he can’t bully my sister. He really went too far this time. Maybe staying here for a while will make him think.

Victoria wanted to keep begging, but in the end the chief firmly sent them away.

After returning to the company, Aspen began taking charge of internal operations.

“For the next month, I’ll be handling everything.”

Meanwhile, at Dunstino Bay.

The World and Creatia once again ended their chess match in a draw.

They had already played three rounds. Finally, Cassia sent a message to end the session.

“I won’t be able to play with you tomorrow.”

Draven’s fingers trembled slightly on the mouse, and he accidentally placed the wrong piece.

“Why?”

“I already made plans to meet someone for a game.”

Cassia felt it was only fair to tell him. Recently, the two of them had been playing almost every day. Even though they had never

met, they had become fairly good online friends.

Sometimes, when she didn’t log in, he would patiently wait for her.

If he showed up tomorrow and waited for nothing, that would feel rude.

She didn’t want to waste his time.

“Where are you playing?” Draven typed.

“Easthedge House.”

Draven stared at the four words sent by the legendary player.
