Lahat ng Kabanata ng Princess Cromwell and Her Six Brothers: Kabanata 2051 - Kabanata 2060

Kellen's lips curled up, and then he took a leather pouch out of the drawer and tossed it onto the table.Amelia didn't move, but Elijah leaned over and opened the envelope. Inside were all photographs—pictures of Amelia's grandmother chatting and laughing with neighbors on Clearwater Lane, photos of Hamza and several other brothers, and even a picture of Ezekiel taking a walk.Elijah's fists clenched, his eyes looking at Kellen without a trace of emotion. Sensing this, Amelia strode over and said, "It's okay, I'm here."As for Carl, his gaze grew even colder. This was the first time anyone had dared to threaten him with a photo of Ezekiel."Kellen," Carl's voice was icy. "If it were just the few of us here, or if you weren't the director of CSIS, you'd be in hell the very next second."Kellen leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly, "Ms. Cromwell, Mr. Jenkins, I just want you to face reality. Threatening me is useless. In fact, I'd prefer if you acted now, so we could all go down t

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door, interrupting Kellen's actions. He frowned, "Who is it?""Director, it's urgent," came a deep voice from outside.Kellen furrowed his brows and walked to the door. The man leaned in and whispered, "Bad news. Dozens of companies have joined together to prove Carl's innocence, claiming that we at CSIS arrested him without evidence.""Carl? He has that much influence?" Kellen was puzzled, but still unwilling to release him. "Go spread the word that his hacking into the CSIS system is now a fact. No one can protect him."The man shook his head. "It's useless. The Ministry of Finance is also involved. The Minister personally called to ask about Carl. I heard he's the Wall Street Wolf...""Wall Street Wolf? Can he really change a company with just a word?" Kellen took a deep breath. "You keep an eye on things here. I'll go see him myself.""Yes, Director."Kellen walked to the adjacent interrogation room. Inside sat Carl, completely calm, his long

After Amelia and the others walked in, the elderly man patiently explained to them, "In this first display case, you'll find a replica of a stone stele. Even I couldn't tell it was a copy at first glance, and even the experts were fooled the first time, thinking it was genuine...""Next to it is a black pottery eggshell bowl from the Volcano Culture. The craftsmanship is exquisite, as you can see for yourselves. This piece was donated by a private collector."The elderly man spoke with elegance, displaying a deep familiarity with various ancient civilizations. Each display case was marked as either a private donation or a legal acquisition."These artifacts..." Amelia asked, feigning admiration, "are all very reliable, aren't they?"The elderly man nodded with a smile. "Of course. We have the strictest artifact provenance verification system to ensure that every item in our collection complies with international conventions."Amelia's smile faded slightly. "But I see that most of the

"I searched for her in Toronto for a whole month. I went to every school and place she might have stayed, and even reported her missing to the police, but there was just no clue at all." The boss's voice was filled with despair. "I was running out of money, and in order to stay in Toronto to keep looking for her and to feed myself, I took over this small restaurant, hoping to run the business while asking around for news about her. But after all this time, there's still not a single word... I don't know if something happened to her... I'm really so worried about her."After saying this, the boss could no longer hold back and squatted down, sobbing uncontrollably. His cries were filled with a father's deep longing and helpless worry for his daughter, making anyone who heard it feel heartbroken and moved to tears.Amelia looked at the boss, who was squatting on the ground and crying, her eyes growing darker. She walked over and gently patted his shoulder. "You will find her. Don't be to

Amelia followed the gaze and looked over: "A feeling?""Yeah!" Jolie nodded, "I think I saw a big sister lying on the ground, not moving at all."Amelia was a bit surprised: "How did you see that?""Um... I just suddenly saw it." Jolie touched her little head, looking completely innocent.Amelia looked deeply at Jolie, then moved her steps toward the dilapidated building.The old building looked at least several decades old, with mottled walls, broken windows, and a pitch-black hallway filled with the smell of mold and urine.The stairs were wooden. Amelia took the lead, and every step she took was accompanied by the creaking of the stair boards, as if they might break at any moment."Jolie, which floor and which room did you see the big sister in?" Amelia held Jolie with one arm, walking through the darkness.Jolie stuck her head out and pointed to one of the rooms on the second floor: "Over there."Amelia followed her gaze and saw the room number: 205."Elijah, take Jolie to the pla
