"Tell me where you are. I'll come to you."Charlotte ended the call and immediately woke Noah, who had been asleep in the living room.She pushed the door open, and he was already up."What's going on?" he asked."Michael is missing," she said while hurriedly getting dressed. "Winnie went to the Olson family estate, but they wouldn't even meet her. Now she's alone at the gate of the Olson villa."Noah looked slightly surprised. "The Olson family… It seems unlikely they'd make a move against Michael.""I think it's possible," Charlotte said. "Maybe they want to use him to force Winnie to drop the lawsuit or give up the inheritance.""In the past, that might've been plausible," Noah said calmly. "But now, everything between the Olson family and Winnie is out in the open. All their moves are being watched. If they really went that far, it would be total mutual destruction. At that point, there'd be no room to bargain—they might as well just die together."His analysis was calm and

But Winnie had no time to pay attention to any of that. She searched the entire house and finally, on the second floor, heard water running in the master bedroom bathroom.The door was tightly shut. From outside, she could see that the light was on, and the shower was running at full force.Winnie knocked hard and called Michael's name several times, but there was no response at all."Michael, where were you? You didn't come home all night. Do you know how worried I was?"Now that the tension in her chest had eased, anger surged up in its place.But no matter how hard she knocked, Michael showed no intention of opening the door.The sound of running water remained constant and heavy.After waiting a long time, Winnie finally couldn't hold back and tried to force the door open, but it was locked from the inside.At that moment, Charlotte also came upstairs. Seeing the scene, she was slightly startled."What happened to Michael?""I don't know. He locked himself in the bathroom

Seeing that his always stubborn and unyielding son had resorted to such an irrational act, Oscar felt both heartache and rage. He immediately declared that once the culprit was found, he would tear them to pieces without mercy.Michael had woken up in the afternoon, but upon seeing Winnie sitting by his bedside, he said nothing—only turned his head away again and went back to sleep.By the time Oscar arrived, Michael was still asleep.Winnie knew Michael had not yet recovered from what had happened. All the questions and words pressing at her throat were forcibly swallowed back down.The police had already opened a case. Lucas and the Morrison family had also sent out people to investigate. It would not be long before the truth of what happened last night came to light.Yet, for the first time, Winnie found herself wishing she knew nothing at all.The next morning, Khloe and Nick returned to Goldmont City.The first piece of news they received upon landing was about Michael.Kh

At Khloe's words, the pressure in Charlotte's chest finally loosened. She couldn't hold it back any longer and buried her head as she cried.Ethan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He instinctively lifted a hand as if to comfort her—but the motion froze mid-air, and he quickly pulled it back."Charlotte, our target is Lacuna. Don't overthink it. And tell Noah… not to overthink either.""Mr. Hunt! Madam!"At that moment, Lenny and Michelle hurried over.When Khloe and Nick returned to the country, Lenny had originally planned to pick them up at the airport. However, he and Michelle had both been on a business trip out of town and were tied up with work.They had cut the trip short and rushed back only after hearing about what happened to Michael.Lenny hadn't intended to come back with Michelle. He had already finalized all his work arrangements. Previously, Nick had assigned Michelle to him because he was the most reliable, but now that Nick had returned, there was no need for tha

Noah's words only made Charlotte feel even more guilty, but at the same time, a new sense of resolve began to form in her heart.She immediately picked up her plate and followed him into the kitchen.From yesterday until today, Charlotte had barely eaten anything. Now, with a proper hot meal in front of her—delicious and comforting—not only did her body feel satisfied, but her tightly coiled nerves also finally loosened."Thank you. It's really good," she said sincerely."It's me who should thank you," Noah replied softly as he picked more food onto her plate. "You've given me the feeling of home, and let me understand how happy and fortunate it is to be with someone you love."Charlotte was genuinely hungry and ate quickly.Only after a while did she notice that Noah—who usually had such a big appetite—was eating unusually slowly, his movements refined, almost like a different person."Why aren't you eating?" she asked."I had some snacks before you came back," he answered lig
