It was the opposite, he seemed to be expecting it.“Aunt Lobelia, you have all of these men here and yet none of them could do the job for you?” He sarcastically remarked.“Unfortunately yes. It’s just none of my men are as skilled in the detective play as yours. I could hire a private detective but doing the business with you would be a lot safer for me. We’re relatives, after all.

However, as soon as he opened the door, she was nowhere to be found.Eden began to panic because he knew there was no way she would stroll around the hotel since he saw how tired she was. Karina was supposed to be sleeping or at least doing something in the room.He checked the bathroom but she was also not there. Eden did not waste time before he went to speak with the hotel’s security guards and manager to ask if they saw Karina anywhere.However, none of them knew where she was and they swore they did not see them at all. If she left the building, the security in the lobby should have seen her.“Dammit!” Eden was getting frustrated. He sent

She was sobbing as the people put her parents’ casket down on the ground.At first, he did not feel anything for her.
