The unexpected question stunned Alexander. Nala gazed at him with sorrowful, big eyes. In one moment, he was the reliable 'big brother'—in the next, he couldn't even provide a meal.Alexander winced and tried to change the subject to divert her attention. "Are you really hungry?""Yes!" Nala's tears teetered on the edge. She pouted and whimpered, "I was supposed to eat at the hotel with my mom... She even said we'd order braised bass...""Don't cry, don't cry! It's just a fish...""But I'm hungry!"Alexander felt uneasy. Engaging her in conversation was proving difficult.Finally, he managed to calm Nala. He had an idea and extended his arm to her, sleeves rolled up. "If you're truly starving, you can bite me first!"Nala stared at him in disbelief."I come from a poor family, and we didn't always have food. When I was really hungry as a kid, I'd munch on... things that could keep hunger at bay."Nala looked puzzled.Alexander smiled and explained, "For example, when there wa

Lena gazed at him, her lips moving as a complex expression crossed her face.Suddenly, Chris' phone rang. It was Fleur calling, sounding anxious as she urged him to return immediately.Chris had no choice but to follow his mother's instructions and bring Lena back to the Hamertons.They found Zuko and Lina already present inside the spacious living room, all wearing serious expressions.When Lena entered, Fleur appeared to have something important to say, her gaze fixed on Lena.Lina locked eyes with Lena and smiled determinedly, leaving Lena slightly puzzled.Bianca calmly entered the room, catching Lena's attention."Aunt Fleur, Chris, I've located Nala! I know where she is!" Bianca announced eagerly.Chris paused, surprised. "How did you find out? What's the source of this information?"Bianca smiled confidently. "Don't think you're the only one with connections just because you were in the special forces. The Hamertons aren't all-powerful, and there are things you can't un

Bianca remained composed and grinned. "Ms. Thompson, don't you trust me?""I only trust in evidence.""But Nala Chriss is missing, and it's linked to Lena's adoptive father and brother. That's a fact!"Lina blinked, surprised and almost bursting into laughter. How could someone tell such blatant lies with a straight face?Did she truly believe the security cameras in the hotel's backyard were completely malfunctioning? Did she genuinely think that with the Thompsons and Hamertons' resources, they couldn't fix a single surveillance camera?Zuko comfortingly patted Lina's shoulder and discreetly handed her his phone.Lina glanced at the message he had received from his subordinate: [Mr. Hamerton, we're working diligently to recover the surveillance data. The truth will come out very soon!]Lina couldn't help but stifle a laugh. Bianca was only making her situation worse by hastily accusing Lena. They just needed to remain patient, and she would expose herself.Just then, the butl

Everyone in the car was shocked.Bianca approached cautiously, spotting dried blood beneath Drake's head. She placed her hand under his nose and detected a faint breath.Her hand trembled, and her eyes glinted ruthlessly as she raised her foot and kicked Drake."Get up!" she demanded.Lina and Zuko joined her, discovering that the factory was now empty."Where's the child?" Lina asked."Ow..." Drake groaned on the ground and struggled to get up. "Help, help... This brat!""Drake Dickinson!" Bianca exclaimed, exasperated.After all, she had confidently declared that she knew Nala's whereabouts. She had accused Drake and Alexander of conspiring with Lena to kidnap her.With Drake injured and the two children missing, this was a complete deviation from the plan she had devised to implicate Lena!Seeing Bianca clearly, Drake was about to ask for help when he caught her signaling him with her eyes. He froze, realizing that Zuko and Lina were present.He remembered Bianca's warnin

When Bianca returned home, anxiety washed over her. She realized the final mayoral election was just a week away. If there was explosive news now, everyone's attention would be diverted. It had to involve Lena!After some pondering, Bianca smirked, feeling sly and triumphant. She picked up her phone and quietly arranged a meeting with a journalist.-They sat In a secluded corner of a cafe. Bianca wore a large hat, almost concealing her face. The journalist sat opposite her, lazily stirring his coffee, but his ears were alert."Do you know Mr. Patton's granddaughter is missing?" she asked. "This isn't just a child disappearing. It was a planned abduction."The journalist tapped his recording pen. "Ms. Mosley, please tell me what you know. I'll release the information as you want after reviewing it.""Naturally." Bianca smiled with satisfaction. "I know the one who kidnapped the Chriss heiress is a student from the charity school project, acting on Lena Harding's orders!"The jou
