ВойтиJayden had always been jealous of Christopher. He resented him for taking the position as head of the Zephyr family and for receiving their grandparents' favor.Jayden's desire to control Zephyr Group had always been strong. Now that he already had the company, why would he still take Amelia?Unless it was for the core data of the drone project.Amelia was a key engineer at the Academy of Aerospace. She was involved in the drone combat simulation program and had access to a large amount of sensitive data.If Jayden wanted to use her to obtain that data and sell it to foreign interests, then everything made sense."Maybe what he really wants is the drone project's core data."Christopher opened his eyes, his tone firm. "Amelia is part of the Academy of Aerospace's drone program. She has access to critical data. Jayden's always been interested in that project. He tried to get involved more than once, but I shut him down every time. Now that he has Amelia, he's probably planning t
Christopher looked up, alert, and walked to the door. Through the peephole, he saw two familiar faces: Jasper and Winona.Christopher hesitated for a moment, then opened the door."Mr. Zephyr, it's been a while."Jasper spoke first, his tone calm, though there was a weight in his eyes.He wore a black coat, steady and composed. Winona stood behind him, holding a folder. Her expression was tense, and the way she looked at Christopher carried clear frustration.Christopher stepped aside to let them in, closed the door, and said nothing. He just gestured toward the couch."We're here because of Amelia."Jasper sat down and got straight to the point. "Two of the country's top engineers went missing during a field assignment. It's already caught the attention of the National Security Bureau. Winona and I were assigned to assist with the investigation."Winona placed the folder on the coffee table and looked at Christopher, her tone sharp with blame. "This is on you! If it weren't
This was Christopher's responsibility, and a promise he had made to his grandparents.Jayden watched Christopher's retreating back. The smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by something darker.He called out, "Chris, is there nothing you want to say to me? Aren't you curious about Amelia?"Christopher paused for a second but didn't turn around. "I don't need to know."With that, he walked out of the conference room, leaving Jayden standing there, his expression turning grim.Christopher stepped out of the Zephyr Group building and looked up at the sky. The sunlight was bright, almost blinding, but it did nothing to cut through the weight pressing down on him.He pulled out his phone and called Nigel. "Any updates on Amelia?""Not yet."Nigel's voice carried a hint of frustration. "We've checked every lead we can think of, but there's still no trace of Ms. Sinclair or Mr. Burns. However, we did find that before Ms. Sinclair disappeared, Jayden moved a large sum of funds. The
Northon.Whitmore Manor was filled with a heavy, suffocating silence.Christopher stood in his study, a black suitcase at his feet, methodically packing up his personal belongings.He placed a few worn books with curled pages inside, along with a scuffed fountain pen and a framed photo of him as a boy with Dorothy.Gerald leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed as he watched Christopher's calm, unreadable profile, his eyes filled with quiet scrutiny.Ever since the news of Amelia's disappearance came in, Christopher had acted as though nothing had happened. He went to work on time and handled company affairs as usual. Now, he even had the time to come back to Whitmore Manor to pack.There wasn't a trace of worry or panic on his face, as if the missing woman had nothing to do with him."Aren't you worried about Amelia?"Gerald finally broke the silence.He couldn't read Christopher. He had always been like this, keeping everything buried, never showing anger or emotion.Ame
"So what if I mean Christopher?"Jayden didn't deny it. There was a hint of madness in his tone. "Doesn't he care about you? Isn't he supposed to be capable? I want to see what he does when he can't find you. See if he runs around like he's lost his mind. I want him to know what it feels like to lose the person he cares about most. I want him ruined, with nothing left!"Amelia looked at his twisted expression. "Jayden, this is low, even for you. You think using me will actually get to Christopher? He's not going to give in because of me.""Really?" Jayden let out a soft laugh, his eyes full of mockery. "We'll see. I'm sure it won't be long before he's scrambling everywhere, trying to find you. When that happens, he'll realize he can't beat me."After saying that, Jayden stood and turned to the bodyguards behind him. "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her wander. If anything happens to her, you answer for it.""Got it, boss," the guards replied.Jayden walked out, and the door was l
This work site Amelia was at was extremely confidential. Only core members of the Academy of Aerospace knew about it.Jayden's lips curled into a cold smile. "Come with me. I won't hurt you."His voice was soft."Why would I go with you?" Amelia took a step back, her eyes sharp as she glanced at the men behind him. "Where's Keith? What did you do to him?""He's fine. Just asleep," Jayden said calmly. "I'll say it one more time. Come with me. Don't make me do this the hard way."Amelia was about to refuse when a wave of dizziness hit her. The strange sweet scent in the air grew stronger, her vision blurring.She reached out and tried to steady herself against the tent, but her body went limp, as if all the strength had drained out of her. Darkness closed in, and she lost consciousness.In the last moment before everything went black, she saw Jayden lift a hand. The men behind him stepped forward and picked her up.-When Amelia woke up again, she found herself lying on a soft b
Evelyn was young, but incredibly thoughtful for her age.Amelia lowered her gaze, a deep guilt pressing in. She looked at Evelyn and ruffled her hair gently, offering a soft, comforting smile. "Just focus on being happy as you grow. Don't worry about everything else."After tucking Evelyn in, Am
Evelyn was covered with sweat, and Amelia grabbed a towel to wipe her dry. She then started playing games on her tablet while Amelia accompanied her.During dinnertime, Jasper called them to ask where they were. It was about time to head to the campsite for a barbecue.Amelia brought Evelyn over t
Tania's question was subtle, but the meaning was clear.Nicole smiled without answering, her expression full of hidden meaning.Tania could guess exactly what was going on.Nicole smoothly changed the subject. "You've been raising investments lately, right? How did you end up working with Nova Ni
In Nathan's eyes, it was all Amelia's fault.If she hadn't kept him from eating those things, he wouldn't be allergic now.Amelia looked at Nathan calmly, a faint, almost mocking smile tugging at her lips. There was no need to explain herself.After raising a son for four years, this was the grat
